JACK BAILEY Tuesday & Thursday 11:30—12 NOON WKDK MUTUAL NEW WHEATS Clemson has aided in develop ing a new wheat that looked mighty good where I saw it grow ing at a few places over the state the past season. ' Five years ago Dr. Paden at Clemson received small samples of cross-bred wheats that were made at the USDA Station at Beltsville, Maryland, as did other southeastern experiment stations. He planted these samples and ob served them very closely. One looked specially good. He made selections from it, and since then has been perfecting it. Last year he had increased it until he had enough seed to plant about 60 acres. This was turned over to our Foundation Seed Association for increase and distribution. They placed it with some very careful farmers over the state, and there is where I saw it growing. It all looked mighty good. One of the 3-acre fields 1 saw made 195 bushels. And I understand yields of around 50 bushels per acre were not un common with it. Our Foundation Seed Association, Bob Garrison, secretary, Clemson, S. C., is handl ing the distribution of this seed wheat. And Dr. Paden tells me we have another very good new wheat for this area. It is Coker’s 47-27. He said, “It is really a beautiful wheat.” Registered seed of it is available through Pedi greed Seed Company, Hartsville, S. C. MODEL HOME. Interested in promoting better housing among her people, Mrs. Marian Paul, state supervisor of Negro Home Demonstration Work, got behind the project of building a model house several years ago. Its purpose would be to show and demonstrate that better housing was possible to many who do not now aspire to it. That house was finished and dedicated a few months ago in the Jeremiah com munity of Williamsburg county. The plan is to award one young farm family in each of the 30 counties having Negro home dem onstration agents a week’s resi dence in this up-to-date home between fall and spring. And then during the summer 4-H girls will win the privilege of a week’s stay in it. A full-time home management worker will be pro vided there. “To motivate our families to improve their homes,” is the aim, according to Mrs. Paul. In other words, to make folks want better things and do more with what they have is what they are working after there. GROWING RESULTS The Sumter county agents held the elimination contest in select ing their 4-H livestock judging team on the farms of C. W. Brun son, Jr., and J. M. Edens, Jr. Both of these men were star 4-H club members of the past and are now carrying on as leading livestock farmers in their communities, after each had attended Clemson a while. When the history of modern commercial livestock raising in the state is written, the early ef forts of the county agents through the 4-H boys will show up as a large portion of the basic ground work on which the industry was built. I looked at a picture the other day of a calf that Edens fed out in his early 4-H experience. And, as I recall, it placed high in the state show. It was good by the standards we had them. But now he has a herd of cattle that will average far better than his prize indlvidaul of the past. Last spring he won first with his pen of fat cattle at the state show and Brunson showed the grand champ ion barrow. Progress with livestock here has been rapid for we had far to go. FARMERS WEEK It’s not long now to Farmers Week at Clemson, August 11-16. This event has grown each year. This year will be no ex ception. More exhibit space than ever has been spoken for. And the program of lectures, demon strations, tours, and entertain ment will cover the wide fields of farm and home interest. TIME'S AFLYING Here we are in the very shank of summer. Crops are maturing in the field, and days have start ed shortening. Soon the cicada will have sung his last droning tune and the frosts of winter will be near. My, how time does speed along when we are busy with our work! Befuddled! Pink Elephants—I had twelve bottles of whiskey in my cellai and my wife told me to empty the contents of each anck every bottle down the sink—or else. So I said I would and proceed ed with the unpleasant task. I withdrew the cork from the first bottle and poured the con- ents down the sink ’with the exception of one glass, which I drank. I extracted the cork from the second bottle, and likewise, with the exception of one glass, which I drank. I then withdrew the cork from the third bottle and emptied the good booze down the sink ex cept one glass, which I drank. I pulled the bottle from the cork of the next—and drank one sink out of it and poured the rest down the glass. I pulled the sink out of the next glass and poured the cork down the bottle. I pulled the next cork, out of my throat and poured the sink down the bottle and drank the glass. Then I corked the sink with the glass an'd drank the pour. When I had emptied every thing, I steadied the house with one hand, counted the bottles, corks and glasses with the other, which was 29. To be sure, 1 counted them again when they came by and I had 74, and as the sink came by me, the bottles in a row, I counted them again and finally I had all the houses, and Afield. .. By TED RESTING Auto-top boats and lightweight boat trailers have been in the boating spotlight the last few years, but they have cast no per manent shadow on collapsible craft Let’s review this type of boat: Canvas folding boats: Folding canies and rowboat types are canvas except for the frame work. Of course, strengthen in pro portion to weight is not great, and regular models are not sug gested for waterways filled with stumps. But boating expert Wil lard Crandall says these boats are much more difficult to punc ture under normal conditions than many think. Once afloat they ate just as stable and will ride the waves as well as a solid boat the same size and of the same design. European-type craft: These long, low, slim folding craft also are of fabric, with solid framework. Be cause of the length, narrow beam and light weight, they are highly rough water can be taken. They are much like a kayak, though often longer and with more deck ing. It’s this decking that keeps water out in waves and makes the low sides practical. In turn, low sides and of course the low sitting position, help offset the lack of stability that goes with any narrow boat. Outboard models are wider, particularly at the stern, and so are steadier than the double-ended type. Pneumatic boats: Surplus rub ber boats are old now, and gen erally unavailable. Like a tijre, all these fabric-and-rubber craft have a limited life whether used or not. Sportsmen’s models (un like most surplus ones) are gen erally of synthetic rubber, which means they withstand oil and grease better. These inflatable boats, because they adapt their shape to that of any wave they meet, are remarkably seaworthy. The familiar doughnut type is very slow and sluggish — still this means its seaworthiness is always there. Sportsmen’s rub ber boats that have the shape of a solid craft act more like a regu lar boat and are somewhat fast er than other rubber craft. As with the kayak types, many long- hour fishermen find the low sit ting position uncomfortable. \OQ% Lead Zinc outside White Paint FIRST QUALITY. $4.25 gal in 5 gal lots. $4.35 single gallon. ^ i .ominaci Hardware Phone 159 BETWEEN FRIENDS .. .
