Honey Tops List Of Plentiful Foods Honey, one of the world’s old est sweets, will be one of the most plentiful foods on southern markets next month, according to Miss Margie Davis, county home demonstration agent. She says honey is pne of the top foods on the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s plentiful foods list for October. Miss Davis points out that, al though production may be below last year in some states, the total honey crop this year may reach a quarter billion pounds, and new crop supplies will be moving in volume in October. “Few people realize it, but from the standpoint of the nation’s food supply, the bee’s most im portant work is pollination,” she states. “In practically all agri cultural areas, honeybees are now the most numerous flgwer-visiting insects, and they play a vital role in crop production,” she adds. Although honey is being em phasized as an October plentiful food, it is not the only item in good supply. Grapes, raisins, turkeys, stewing chickens, dry milk, cottage cheese, fish, table fats, and cooking oils also are plentiful. According to USD A reports, this season’s grape crop will run about 3 million pounds, and most south ern markets will have good sup plies of table grapes all month. This year’s turkey crop is ex pected to set a record at nearly 59 million birds. In addition, stor age stocks of both turkeys and stewing chickens are heavy; so these items will be attractive food buys for the month. CpL Dawkins To Leave For Europe Corporal Marcellus H.

Fall Is Time To Fertilize Lawns CLEMSON, Sept. 27—Fall is the best time to recondition, lime, and fertilize lawns or to start new ones, according to H. A. Woodle, agronomist, and A. E. Schilletter, horticulturist, of the Clemson Ex tension Service. For good lawns next year do not wait until spring to get busy on the job. Start now to plant, fertilize, or recondition the soil. In cool fall weather the long-lived perennial grasses thrive and thus establish themselves ready to qpme up thick and green in the spring. “The type of grass planted counts perhaps more than any thing else in the kind of lawn you have,” the specialists state. "In buying grass seed many people make the mistake of buying the cheapest mixture the store of fers, and of not reading the label before they buy. Seed of long- lived perennials cost more than the shortlived annuals, but gen- nerally they are the better invest ment. The ‘bargain seed’ often is a mixture of annuals that come up quickly, but in another year may leave you with weeds, bare spots, and disappointment. “The perennial grasses come up year after year and build a dense sod if properly maintained,” they continue. “Though they are slow to start and get established, they pay in the long run. In con trast, annual grasses, such as Italian ryegrass, live only one sea son. They may re-seed them selves, but the individual plants die each year. “Most good lawns are made up of long-lived perennials, but each type has its special needs. For a long-season lawn, you need the types of grasses suited to your climate and soil,” they add. The specialists emphasize that although the securing of the pro per seed is very important, proper preparation and fertilization and management are equally im portant. Detailed recommendation for es tablishing and maintaining lawns in this state are given in Crcular 308, Lawns for South Carolna, available free at offices of county farm and home agents or the Clemson Publications Department.

M. ELEAZER At this season I stiU have the urge to get out amid the falling leaves of autumn, and seek the wild harvest that’s ripening in the woods. This has stayed with me since childhood. FaU was our most abundant season. We roamed a rather wide area of the stone hills. The far back places were our choice, for there Nature’s unamarred abundance still lay in greatest profusion. Fall saw the best harvests there. Other seasons had their flowers, berries, wild plums, etc. But fall had a wide variety, and some of the more substantial stuff Uke walnuts, scaly-barks, and honey locust. And then there were bull- ice, black haws, sandberries, per simmons, and thorn apples. We feasted for weeks on all of these. And we brought sacks of them home. This was specially so with walnuts, the best hickory nuts, and scaly-barks. And bullice, too, we brought them in by the peck. Their meaty hulls made delicious pies and preserves, and they were also good to eat just so. And after the corn was harvest ed, we went over those fields too, seeking the ear or nubbin that was left by the gleaners. This was stored for the winter to feed our special poultry. I had ducks and my brother guineas. Once I found a whole pile of corn that the wagon crew overlooked and left in some high grass. What a .treasure that was! It filled my sack. Then I sat oft it and rest ed while my brother toiled through the afternoon, finding an ear here and a nubbin there, until he too had his sack full. I helped him a little. Then off across the hills we trudged to the house, feeling a bit more secure against the win ter that was at hand. WOMAN BECOMES MAN . . . Dr. E.

FARMS AND FOLKS By J. M. ELEAZER Clemson Extension Information Spoelallst THESE COUNTY AGENTS Back in June I went by to see County Agent Lloyd of Edgefield at 11 a.m. Folks were constant ly calling him over the phone and in person. This prompted me to ask him what his routine had been that morning before I got there. Here it is, as he remembered it. Up at six and had breakfast. 7 to 8 worked in garden. Then by the office. 2 telephone calls about killing rats, and had to make long distance call about securing am monium nitrate for demonstra tions on summer grazing. Then to the country. There checked and weighed the fryers for 6 boys’ 4-H poultry projects. Returned to the office and mailed off 6 samples of seed that farmers had brought for testing. ''Conferred with SCS co-worker about features of coun ty pasture program. Answered two long distance and 4 local calls. Delivered cream checks to 20 farmers. And wtyen I walked in he was talking with farmer who had come in to get low-down on the boll weevil fight And so goes the days of a coun ty agent. I was one for 28 years, and I know Lloyd's morning to be typical. Surely these agents have to develop into men of many parts. They have to have a work ing knowledge of just about every thing agricultural. Farmers and most agricultural workers get proficient in their special lines. Be he has no restricted specialty. His is everything. GREENILLE MARKET In late August I again went by the Greenville Farmers’ Market. Local tomatoes, potatoes, and ap ples were coming In pretty good. County Agent Gray was there ob serving the loading of two great trailer vans with pimiento pep pers. He helped promote their planting over the county on con tract for a Georgia firm. They were bringing $80 a ton. Drought had hurt the crop some, but not as bad as in adjoining counties where it was worse. Market manager Ben Leonard was seeing through rose-tinted glases. The stork has just pre- I’ve watched the Marshall Bros, poultry dressing facility there grow from the start.

But the cold facts made his report of market progress rather rosy too. He came from county agent ranks, having worked in 'Anderson and Greenville, and seems to be mak ing them a good man there manag ing the great marketing facility. A FALL EVENING Twilight was falling in Septem ber. The last of the cicadas were buzzing their plaintive dirges from the trees at dusk. The katy dids and crickets were beginning to mark their places with night- songs. And I sat alone on the lawn, as a sharp new moon began to show above the sun’s dying rays in the west. The coolness of autumn began WHY DID HE DO IT? The pencil pushers in the in ner sanctum of the Anderson In dependent must' be a bit discom fited at the moment to say the least. They no doubt expected their friend Jimmie Byrnes to stay “regular” in the presidential race. The Independent is vehe mently, almost fanatically. Demo cratic. Why did Jimmie flop over? Well, there comes a time in the life of all of us, most particular ly those of us Who have used most of it up, when the urge to contribute something to the com mon good becomes uppermost. With ambition out of the way, with no costs to count, we want to glow with that satisfaction which comes with service render ed. Jimmie has had all he could want for or expect, and now that he can speak without counting the cost, he espouses a cause alien to his political up-bringing be cause he honestly thinks it the right thing to do. Too, maybe he is a bit conscience-stricken. He has long been in positions of power, but history will not point with any great degree of pride to his career, unless it be his act of September nineteenth in the year fifty-two. SHAME! “The Truman-Acheson war in Korea has been in progress longer than our participation in World War I, which lasted 585 days. “Now the' bungling Truman ad ministration, responsible for the tragic loss of China, for the un necessary war in Korea, which has cost us well over a hundred thousand wounded, dead and missing sons, the flower 0 of our young manhood, is trying to sell itself to the people as the ‘peace party.’ What a travesty.”—Lusk (Wy.)

Paysinger, Distributor I Sound Insurance Because of the passage of the Motor Vehicle Safety Responsibility Law by the last session of the Legisla ture which becomes effective in South Carolina on January 1st, 1953, car owners in the state are being flooded with solicitations from all kinds of insurance companies. . * . v Liability insurance is one of the most technical forms if indemnity, -and requires the services of trained agents to assure proper service in obtaining fair rates—and more important to render prompt and satisfactory handling of claims. Unlike other forms of insurance claims, the law per mits the filing of damage suits within six years following an accident. Involvement of a minor may extend this period over 21 years. This makes it urgent that your business be 'placed through an established agency representing companies of unquestionable strength and experience. Six years from now you may not be abl4 to find some of the new companies enter ing this field to clean up on the newly created bush ness. Remember, too, they will attract many of the un desirable risks. ■ Companies of enormous resources and with long underwritings experience have found it impossible to « i break even on liability insurance and many of ihem are insuring only the most select risks. Policyholders in companies gambling on the business will likely find that their policies are of little help when needed.
