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.”

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,

T"\0 YOU SOMETIMES wonder
^ what combinations In table set
tings are most effective? 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.
