With just one grease, Sinclair Litholine, you can lubricate chassis, wheel bearings, water pumps, universal joints... of your car, truck or tractor... winter or summer. Farmers find it does a better job at each lubrication point than the "specialized” greases they formerly used. FARM ADVANTAGES ot-a-glonce: 1. A finer grease at every point. 2. Less danger of applying the wrong groaso. 3. Quicker greasing operations. 4. Smaller grease stocks — one instead of 3 or 4. 5. Fewer grease guns. 6. Less waste. W# dtlivr direct to forms.

ELEAZER i Clemson Extension Information Specialist Some of the nicest farm tenant houses I’ve seen are being built by Robert Lee Scarborough on his farm near Eastover. Saw them in my rounds with County Agent Bailey. They are just about fireproof. A solid concretee slab about a foot above ground makes the floor. The walls are of concrete blocks plastered over. They have four rooms, front and back porch, and are painted white- They are wide ly scattered over tht farm. Each has its private waterworks, • bath room, septic v tank, kitchen sink, and an electric refrigerator is fur nished. Each of these sleek new houses replaced a tattered old tenant house that we are accustomed to seeing. Young Scarborough is grandson of one of my best friends, the late H. Lee Scarbor ough, Who daddied me a lot as a young county agent in Sumter 30 years ago. A f^w years ago I told you here of a man named Brown, up in Oconee, that had done this same thing a good many years before. His families hacl been with him many years. They took pride in the nice places he furnished them. Paint, flowers, lawns, gardens, or chards, and the like marked them. And they didn’t move away.' Better housing usually makes better folks. And our Dr. Roches ter tells me that his studies of tenantry in the state show that better houses usually mean bet ter tenants and less moving. And that results in a better life and better income for both the land- owner and the tenant. ADDED WATER In Spartanburg in mid-July as sistant county agent Crayton Mc- Cown told me that W. C. Clem ents of the Boiling ^Spring section had irrigated his fall tomatoes at setting time. We went by Mrs. Cudd’s place. She had irrigated 100 acres pf her peaches. I asked her how she liked it. Said, “Wish to goodness I could irrigate the other 200.” She had 16 varieties, and thus has peaches from early until late. We also visited the Gramling and Floyd orchards. They too irrigate and wouldn’t be without it. Farmers that I’ve seen in all parts of the state who’v^ tried ir rigation sure do like it. With it a man has a lot more control over the destiny of the things he plants. One of our rather frequent droughts can’t come and take most of it from him then. DON’T TAKE A CHANCE Tobacco is now moving to mar ket and cotton will soon be too. Money will be coming in with which to pay obligations against the crop and build a nest-egg of savings and to carry on with until another harvest comes. Some folks take a chance by handling the proceeds from a crop sale in cash. This is risky business. J. H. Wilson of the Sumter Pro duction Association tells me of two cases the past year that show the folly of carrying a lot of cash. One of their members was on his way to town with enough cash in his pocket to pay his loan in full. On the way in he had a wreck, was knocked unconscious, and when he awoke his money was gone. And another of his custom ers was on his way from the bank to the Production Credit of fice with cash to pay his loan. It was stolen from him before he got there. Checks are the thing. In addi tion to being safe, they serve as a sort of receipt too. It is far bet ter to take the check to your creditor, pay your bill with it, and then get the balance in cash, if you want c^sh. Then if it gets away from you, at least the debt will be paid- WATCH FOR ARMY WORMS Fall army worms appeared at places over the state in late July. Later generations are likely to show up before frost. At this time of year they would likely be most bothersome on pasture and soy beans- Toxaphene dust is one of the most effective remedies in this case, according to our Mr. Nettles. He suggests 2 to 3 pounds of the actual toxaphene per acre. That would mean 10 to 15 pounds of 20 percent dust per acre. This is effective against grasshoppers, too, he says. CONTROL FOR ANTS Chlordane has proven very ef fective in controlling ants. For inside use a 2 percent oil solu tion of it is painted yith a brush around the baseboards and placed where the ants have to cross. And for the out of doors, dusting 25 pounds of the 10 percent dust per acre on the ground has given good results. A little of it dusted on an anthill will usually clean them up in that colony. This ma terial is a poison, and should be handled accordingly, says our W. C. Nettles. BOYS ARE THAT WAY By J. M. ELEAZER AT LOMINICK^ DRUG STORE PRISCIPTIONS ARE CALLED FOR AND DELIVERED PRESCIPTIONS FILLED BY LICENSED DRUGGIST * PHONE 981 ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ Feathers, goose feathers, were a must with us. For they made the only matt resses we had except those of cot ton or straw. And these soon packed down and you couldn’t make ’em up good and fluffy again- But those feather beds last ed for a lifetime. In fact grand mothers usually had the one that their folks gave her when she married. We always felt that home raised feathers were better than bought ones., For we figured that bought ones were taken from birds that had been killed. And feathers from a live goose, like ours, would last longer and be softer, we just knew. Those balloon looking feather beds were fine on a cold night. You would sink clear down- in ’em, and needed little cover, even though the winds of winter blew through cracks in the room. And they made our pillows too. We had two sorts of pillows. Two of the usual sort went with each bed. But they were for ornamen tal purposes, so the bed would look good when it was made up. The other one was a long one that reached clear across the bed. It was called the bolster. At night we laid the linen covered pillows on a chair and slept with our heads on the cotton covered bolster. It was continuous, from one side of the bed to the other. So all who slept - there, used it. It was a pretty good idea, for, with it, the youngun in the middle didn’t have to sleep on a crease, as between two pillows. When the featherbed was made up next morning, it was beaten and fluffed up anew and patted down smooth. So was the feather- filled bolster, until it looked like a great sausage. But both it and the bed were so soft that you lit erally sunk into them and then on into that blissful forgetfulness of sleep. Morning might have its thick frost upon the sod and the ground could be frozen hard. But it made little difference there, un til your feet had to hit the floor for another day. Cover wouldn’t stay on them good, for you couldn’t tuck it in, as with a modern mattress. So the bed was quite a tangled mess when you got out of it. But after it was fluffed up and patted down, bolster fixed just right too and laid in place, with the pillows neatly placed on top of it, the high, soft effect there was invit ing for comfort and sleep.
