FARMS AND FOLKS
By J. M. 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.

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.
