ELEAZER Clemson Extension Information Speelallst VFW Backs Day National Prayer Can SALUDA DAIRYING I can recall only three dairies there when I was county agent in Saluda 30 years ago. When I was with County Agent Kearse there the other day he told me they now have 48 Grade A dairies, and 75 other farmers patronizing their milk routes! Both numbers are growing con stantly, he said. It was hard going on many of those cold slate lands -after the weevil came. But when this grass thing came along, those same lands literally took fire. With their limestone bases, they are a natural for grass. Ajid now you ride and ride through grasslands 'there, and across the rolling hills and cool valleys you can see good cattle at every turn. GEORGETOWN PASTURES Despite awfully dry summers the past two years and rather severe winters that held pastures back, interest in them continues to grow fast, according to County Agent McCord of Georgetown. That area was once a range cattle area. But there is little of that now. It is prepared and seed ed pastures that McCord was talk ing about. And most of the old woods cattle have been replaced gradually by better stuff. PULPWOOD TROUBLES I was in a low country the other day in which both the coun ty agent and a leading farmer told me of troubles in trying to sell pulpwood. The farmer said wood cut and shipped from his woods in February had not been paid for yet, and. he was dubious of ever getting it. I asked if that wasn’t unusual, and the county agent said no. Further questioning revealed that it was not the pulpwood manufacturers at fault there but the system. They only buy through dealers. And evidently some dealers in that area are not toting fair with the farmers. The mills pay them, and then it seamed hard for the farmers to get their part. Now, that’s bad. But it’s not everywhere. I’ve been to many places where .there was no com plaint against the dealers. They were fair and farmers had confi dence in them. I asked if they could not sue in the above case. But they said the dealer didn’t have anything. I know of no remedy but for farmers to be very careful in sell ing their timber, requiring suit able deposit in advance, or suit able reference from others before turning their timber loose. 100 PERCENT ATTENDANCE Back in May they had 100 per cent attendance at the peach growers’ meeting in Edgefield county, according to County Agent Lloyd. Now that sounds good. It looks like those folks intend doing something about improving the peach business that the experts of Clemson had called that meet ing, and many others like it, for. We have a giant in this peach business. But in late years that old giant hasn’t been doing so well. Last year generally was a bad one for our peach growers. Yet one of them told me the main trouble was not so much a bad market as bad peaches. He said those who had good peaches and didn’t pick them too. *green did all right. Those May meetings were fol lowed up over the peach belt with others out in June when picking, grading, packing, and loading were demonstrated. The know how is at hand for producing and packing out good peaches. Clem- son’s Roy Ferree sends it out in a monthly letter to growers. If you don’t get it, your county agent can have your name put on the mailing list. McCORMICK NEWS They have 50 acres of a new crop in McCormick, pimientos. County Agent Bonnette says 25 farmers have this acreage of these peppers. They are growing them on contract for $80 a ton. They have 30 4-H boys and girls growing out 100 sexed cockerel chicks each. They are furnished by Gray’s Hatchery of Iva. They pay for them with 6 to 8 weeks of age. The rest are for home use or sale. Bonnette said most of the kids were doing well with it. The South Carolina Department of the Veterans of Foreign Wars is backing up the designation of a National Day of Prayer, and the entire National VFW organization is giving fullest support to the appeal of the President of the United States that all Americans of whatever religious faith offer special prayers on July 4 for Divine guidance in national and world problems, Robert P. Griffin, of Florence, Department Com mander of the State VFW, an nounced today. Citing . the President’s Procla mation of June 17, which pursuant to a joint Congressional Resolu tion of April 17 designated July 4 as a National Day of Prayer, Commander Griffin asserted that the “entire State VFW organiza tion of nearly 15,000 members and 77 community Posts earnestly sup ports this and all other efforts to make Americans more genuine ly religious and more conscious of their dependence upon God’s favor.” He reminded that the President in 1945, at the end of World War II, designated a similar day of prayer, and during the past three years has urged citizens to offer special prayers on Mother’s Day or Memorial Day. On May 23 this year, in proclaiming “Me morial Day as a Day of Prayer for permanent peace,” the Presi dent urged Americans “to beg Divine aid in bringing enduring peace to a troubled world,” a plea which Commander Griffin termed “one of the most important which could be voiced today.” By Ted Keeling You often hear that spinning is a foolproof method of cast ing. Nevertheless, as many fish ermen will tell you, you can get into trouble with a spinning out fit. Most such troublts, accord ing to Joe Bates, one of this coun try’s first spinning enthusiasts, hare to do with the selection and handling of spinning lines. First, be sure that the line is put on the reel spool properly. Make a slip noose on the end of the line; slip It over the reel spool and pull it tight Wind the line directly on the reel by turning the reel handle, taking it off the unrolling spool. Then pay out all the line and reel it in again, al- lowin^it to side through the fore finger and thumb of the right hand. This will remove the twist and give proper tension. It is important that you fill the spool to the lip—and to the lip only. A spool filled too full often causes snares, and at the very least, makes the line diffi cult to handle. A spool filled not full enough shortens the dis tance of the cast. Use as light line as possible. Lighter lines mean longer casts and they are less noticeable to fish. Lines in the three-or-four pound strength range are strong enough for all normal inland fishing. The way the lure is tied on is very important too. Of the several good strong knots suitable, my preference is the half barrel knot using at least six turns around the line. If the lure hap pens to have a turned-down eye, the turle knot is best . The line can be controlled with the sidecast more easily than with the overhead cast This sidecast is done with an ac celerated upsweep and is the most valuable cast to learn in spinning. But the greatest secret in casting is ~ finger-tip control. The line is picked up on the tip of the forefinger rather than in the cleft of the finger’s Joint. Keep that forefinger in position, (continued on back page) Vote for Luther B.

Here are some settings which may serve as a guide for the table accessories you already have or may want: With a pink cloth and napkins, you’ll like white china with a pat tern of violets or other small pur ple flower. Use amethyst or violet goblets and, as a centerpiece, a low silver bowl of violets or asters. Copper accessories are effective with chartreuse earthenware dishes against a plaid linen cloth. Use emerald green hand-blown stem- ware.

SPORTS AFIELD (continued from page three) ual eye focus will last longer and possibly give sharper nition. In choosing power, pay atten tion only to the 7X or whatever it might be and not to the sec ond numeral which refers to the diameter of the objective lens in millimeters and only indicates its light - gathering capacity. New comers to optics often make the mistake of buying the strongest glasses they can get, such as an 18X,50, and then wishing they hadn’t. There is a use for such high-powered glasses, but it does not lie In the general outdoor field. According to Bill Wolf, well known outdoor writer, the aver age sportsman probably will find his most useful binoculars are the standard 7X,35, the wide- angle 7X.35 or the 7X,50. The last Is the best of all for night work or when the light is dim. THE “FAUEA STONE SHOW” Lots of yellow or orange flowers available for a centerpiece? Use them with a rust colored cloth and gray and brown pottery dishes Goblets can be amber. Here’s a very smart modern sel ling: black and white printed cloth and undecorated white china in a simple modern design. Tumblers should be of cinnamon brown glass, or clear glass with emerald ball- foot Natural linen cloths look pretty with chocolate brown napkins. The dishes should match napkins, and glasses may be amethyst. A center- piece of pink geraniums, asters or other rose-pink blooms are good. Black and gieen linen cloths call or white earthenware dishes, with oerhaps, some green or ivy bor ders. Milk-glass tumblers look ef fective, and so does a matching epergne holding red flowers on tor layer and white on the lower. hhp . % .iF rnmmmmmmmmmM&m ' , v ... >• Vote for & elect ,*> » s Walter T.
