RAY DAWKINS County Treasurer BOWEN’S BIRD BULLETIN Back in 1937 County Agent Bo wen of Sumter wrote a bulletin that proved very popular. It was Clemson Extension Bulletin 98, ‘Some Common South Carolina Birds and Their Economic Im portance to the South Carolina Farmer.” The supply had been exhausted for some time. But the demand for it continued. So re cently Director Watkins decided to have it reprinted, and it is again available from Clemson or from local county agents. I’m sure we would all do more to protect our bird friends if we knew the important part they play in holding down insects. As our bird population has been cut down our insect problems have grown. We had better not change Nature’s balance too much. GOOD USE FOR ABANDONED SCHOOLHOUSES With our reorganization and consolidation program for schools getting under way, we are going to have a lot of abandoned school- houses.

Plenty of room there! building can continue to be, ac cording to Clemson’s y. A. Boyd, by making of it a community building. There the home demon stration and 4-H clubs, farm or ganizations, and various commun ity groups can meet. There local farm and home programs can be worked out, and neighbor can meet with neighbor ,as only th school has brought them all together in the past. How is your community faring in this? It will sure be a pity to let any of the old school build ings fall into decay, as they will very rapidly, if not used. And every community needs that sort of meeting place so bad too. TERMITES HELP! Well, I’m abtout to admit that there is some good in everything. Tests at Clemson show that once-hated Bermuda grass is by far our most valuable pasture plant. And now many who once knew it but to fight it in the field are setting it in their pastures. Some weeks ago our man Cush man came in and said a good word for crabgrass. He noticed it was the first thing to give good graz- in gafter the summer drought was broken. And he ventured the as sertion that maybe we were miss ing a good bet in crabgrass. Now comes our man Nettles and even finds a favorable word to say aobut termites that sometimes eats a house down and often dam age timbers in a structure. It is in land clearing where termites and decays help. For when a stump is killed so as not to sprout, the termites and decays help. For when a stump is killed so not to sprout, the termites Immediate ly start work on it and aid the organisms of decay in getting rid of it and roots in the ground. To get this beneficial work out of termites, he points out, you must kill the stump first, for they will not attack a live, sprouting stump nor its roots. We now have effective ways of killing stumps with chemicals. Details of that are found in Clemson Ex tension Bulletin 113 entitled “Weeds” and under the section on “Brush and Sprout Control.” Your county agent has It. PROGRESS IN PEST CONTROL Grown folks can remember when cucumbers, squash, and canta loupes were for early summer only here. If planted later, the pickle worms got ’em. I can well re member the finest cantaloupe patch we ever had when I was a kid. It was about two weeks late. Worms got every melon. And so it was with even slightly late cucumbers or squash. Now I see fine fall cucumbers being harvested over the Low Country in September, and at the same time I saw fine cantaloupes sight of the mountains of the Up Country. Breeders have given us suitable varieties and the scientists have worked out disease and insect con trols that make it possible for us to have these things clear up to frost now. IMPROVED INCOME Twenty-odd years ago our aver age income per person in South Carolina was running some 30-odd percent of the national average. Now it is running along at 60-odd percent of the national average. And back then we were running along at 70-odd percent of the average income for the Southeast ern States. Now we are running some 90-odd percent of that. These encouraging facts come from fig ures worked up by our Dr. Ro chester. Progress for sure! More manu facturing, less cotton, more grass and livestock, a lot more dollars from tobacco, etc. account for this. And these things are all growing. So it looks like better days ahead for us. BOYS ARE THAT WAY By J. M. ELEAZER Many recollections of boyhood are tied to food. And towards food. I’m still a boy. I can well remember starting to wonder what was coming up for the next meal as soon as I fin ished the current one. And I’m still a lot that way. I have to watch myself or I’d sure be fat. And to this day I can’t under stand anyone saying they are not hungry. Boy, I’m hungry all the time. And it still tastes good when I get full and make myself stop. Guess a good appetite is just one of my blessings. We had long hours at school back in the woods from home. We carried our dinner in a buck et. We ate at noon, got out at four, ancL were famished after the hour walk home. We hit it for the kitchen first thing. Often it was a baked sweet potato that was still a bit warm there on the apron of the stove. Those things with the natural syrup running out were good eat- in’. But If there was no sweet potatoes there, we usually found some cold biscuits from break fast. We made the large ones that were pally and soft, not brittle and crumbly. They were not put close together in the pan, so they had a good crust all around. We would poke a finger In. the side and clear through to the crust of the other side. But we wouldn’t break that other crust. We left that to hold the syrup. We pour ed that hole full of good old sor ghum syrup that we made our selves there on the farm. With one of these in each hand, out we would go rejoicing. Occasionally that syrup would soak through, run down our arms, and get on sleeves. That sticky stuff* on my sleeves now would be abominable. Bu tthen it didn’t bother us at all. We would lick all of it off that we could and play right on. A woman was mailing the Old Family Bible to a brother in a dis tant city. Postal clerk: “Does this pack age contain anything breakable?” Lady: “Only the Ten Command ments.” Pine Seedling Shipments Start December 1st. South Carolina landowners have already placed orders for all the forest tree seedlings grown this year at the State Commission of Forestry’s Horace L. Tilghman Forest Tree Nursey. This an nouncement was made by E. C. Pickens, Assistant State Forester In charge of the Commission’s forest management programs. The 23,485,000 little trees grown by the Commission of Forestry this year represents an Increase of almost 7 million trees over last year's production of 16,619,300 trees. The following kinds of trees were grown this year: 12,000,000 Slash Pine; 10,815,000 Loblolly Pine; 550,000 Longleaf Pine; 60,- 000 Arizona Cypress; and 60,000 Red Cedar. Shipping of trees to landown ers will begin aronnd the first of December, according to Mr. Pick ens. Since most of these trees will be planted at the rate of a) one thousand per acre, the grown this year will be sul to put 23,485 acres of idle It work growing a crop of trees. WE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN DEMOCRATS Yes, in South Carolina, most of us ... and our ancestors . ; * have always been Democrats. We South Carolinians are proud of those ancestors, and have reason to be, so let’s take a look at history: IN 1776 ■ IN 1861 IN 1876 IN 1948 Americans broke with England and formed a new nation. This .was a break with tradition. Our fore fathers, led by our great General Francis Marion, were in the thick of the fight. South Carolinians withdrew from the nation they had fought to form because they felt that the righte of their state were in danger. They broke with tra dition. South Carolinians elected a Democratic governor, Wade Hampton, at the same time THEY CAST THEIR ELECTORAL VOTES FOR THE RE PUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE, HAYES. They broke with tradition. (Within a few days after Hayes took office, the Federal troops, stationed in South Carolina for many years, were withdrawn.) % South Carolina did not vote with the national Dem ocrats, the Tmmocrats, because we put the prin ciples of honest government above party label. This was a break with tradition, and the last four years have proved how right we were! Our Senators and Congressmen did not lose their committee assign ments or seniority rights and cannot possibly lose such by our support of Eisenhower now. IN 1962? It’s up to you on Nov. 411 You’re making history. WE HAVE A RIGHT TO BE PROUD OF OUR HISTORY AND WE SHOULD TAKE THE STAND THAT WILL MAKE FU TURE SOUTH CAROLINIANS PROUD OF US THE TIME HAS COME TO FOLLOW OUR TRUE TRADITIONS TO VOTE FOR PRINCIPLE NOT A PARTY LABEL DON’T BE A TRUMANITE against fraud and corruption, waste and extravagance vote VOTE FOR EISENHOWER SOUTH CAROLINIANS FOR EISENHOWER Paid political Advt by South Carolinians for Eisenhower.
