N early every successful
person has a definite philoso
phy—a credo for reaching a goal
. . . But until CBS radio introduced
the series “This I Believe,” there
was no avenue through which they
could share their ideas by the sim
ple means of calm conversation . . .
Edward R. Murrow, noted CBS
radio news broadcaster, Is the host
of “This I Believe,” and with his
fellow newsman, Edward P. Mor
gan, the program’s producer, he
has tapped a precious lode in the
mine of contemporary thought.
People whose names represent
widely diverse lines of endeavor—
Helen Keller, Pearl Buck, James
Q. duPont, Eleanor Roosevelt, to
name a few of the scores—have
spoken on the five-minute program
and revealed their rules for hap
py, successful living . . . “This
I Believe” Is not a church program
in the denominational sense, but
it does promote principles that
every church advocates . . . The
broadcasts are republished in news
papers, put on phonograph records
and published In pamphlet form
... It is the kind of listening that
renews an Individual’s faith In him
self and others.
IDOL CHATTER
“Life With Lnigl” made Its TV
debat recently and we predict It
will do better in this medium then
on ra<^>, if that is possible . . .
J. Carroll Naish is lovable aa
Luigi and, of coarse, is extremely
visual In his role ... All in all,
it was a much mere triumphant
transition from radio to TV than
“My Friend Irma” experienced
. . . Alben W. Barkley has been
signed for a radio-TV series to be
broadcast next year when he's no
longer In office ... It will feature
noted guests discussing current
affairs.
Bob Hope got back on the air-
Lanes by the skin of his teeth this
season ... He was sponsorless for
some time and NBC balked at put
ting the expensive star on non-
commercially ... It appeared for
a while that he would be missing
from the lineup for the first time in
16 years, but at the last minute he
signed a contract with a food com
pany calling for a daily afternoon
show, which still leaves him In the
cold insofar as a weekly evening
show is concerned.

AT LONG LAST
Change is constant!
It eventually reaches just about
everything.
For instance, new signs con
stantly point to the fact that our
status as a conquered province in
the South is changing. And that’s
mighty good.
Freight rate penalties that af
flicted us for almost a century are
being more nearly equalized.
Taxes on margarines, that used
to be almost solely a product of
the southern farms, have been liftJ^ROP TOO
ed by the nation. And since many
states outside of the South now
grow soybeans, they too had an
interest in an untaxed outlet for
wholesome and nutritious veget
able oil.
Yes, signs of our emancipation
are showing up rather frequently
here of late. Even a presidential
candidate honored us with a visit
for the first time since we were
subdued back in the sixties. Un
til now we were counted as in the
bag politically.
Our great national farm maga
zines are becoming more interest
ed in the vast agricultural frontier
that lies on cotton’s lost acres.
Just of late, “Country Gentleman”
has started a very interesting
page entitled, “Today in the
South.” And “Farm Journal” has
employed two bright young editors
from the South to cover this area.
Thanks, folks! We appreciate
this. Our undeveloped potentials
here will be making big news for
your pages in the immediate years
ahead. For our lands have known
but cotton seriously in our time.
As we apply science to them, new
riches are coming from other
things, too.
So change, we welcome ypu.
We couldn’t stop you if we tried.
But we don’t want to this time.
For it is all to the good.
COTTON IS A LIVESTOCK
Pays for itself in the fuel
it saves. Provides auto
matic work-free, clean
warmth for up to 6 rooms.
Homemakers have bought
more dollars worth of this
fine heater than any other
oil heater made. Come in

Cotton is a wonderful crop. I
don’t know any that equals it in
meeting human needs.
It clothes the infant and buries
the dead. And it furnishes rai
ment along between those two
events that mark our coming and
going from earth.
Its lint has myriads of other
uses, as essential to war as peace.
And its magic seed serve many
purposes. From an acre they car
ry the human mutritional wallop
that comes from the milk of the
average cow for a year. And the
meal we get from a good acre of
cotton is equal to the livestock
feed we get from a half acre of
average corn. And that is high
protein livestock feed too, one
of earth’s tighest items.
Then those seed also yield lint-
ers. Their use in industry is
wide, including ammunition with
which our nation has fought its
wars. Then there we have the
hulls too, used as a livestock feed
and industrially too.
So with all of these angles, cot
ton stands in a class by itself
among crops. But change, change,
constant change is hitting it too.
Always a hand labor crop, up
to now, it is slipping at places,
where mechanization does not
work. I saw cotton at Coker’s
near Hartsville the past season
that made a bale and a half per
acre that was 100 percent mech
anized. And I saw vast areas of
it out in the Far West that was
completely mechanized.
The cost of human labor has
reached the point that cotton is
calling for the machine, if it is to
survive. Clemson’s Edisto Station
has been working on that for some
years now. Powers there tells me
that we now have the elements
with which he is confident We Still
beat the weeds and grass in cot
ton.. But it is not quite perfected
to the point that they can recom
mend it generally yet in this cli
mate. , ^
Our cotton improvement contest
is an effective means through
which the county agents carry the
findings of science straight to the
farms. Cotton here has shrunk
from close to three million acres
to barely one. But we are doing
a better job on that and making
far more to the acre. Will we
continue to grow cotton? Looks
like we might on the lands best
suited to it under mechanization.
QUAIL IN LANCASTER
County Agent Cannon tells me
that during the past summer they
distributed 1,186 young quail to
42 4-H Club boys over Lancaster
county. Most of tnem had pretty
good luck raising them and re
leasing them on their farms.
Raising quail and releasing them
in the past has given questionable
results, from all I hear. Some
give the scarcity of year-around
food as the reason for so few
quail. In Lancaster, as well as in
most other counties of the state,
the 4-H boys are trying to remedy
this by setting out lespedeza bi
color plants at spots all around
over their farms. These are fur
nished by our state game depart
ment. And scores of folks told
me that if you have any quail
you will surely find them around
these bicolor patches. In fact, on
one hunting club they told me
they had a dog that would go from
one bicolor patch to the other.
Once the birds were not there, but
EGG CANDLEB ... By wrapping a strip of paper around the end
of a flashlight you can make an emergency light for testing eggs.

BOYS ARE
THAT WAY
By J. M. ELEAZER
Every time I see a remnant of
remaining rail fence, it brings
back memories, many memories.
They were the only sort we had
when I was a kid. Men with
sharp axes would sample a great
standing tree by cutting a large
chip out to see if it would split
straight and easy. If it did, he
would cut it down and split the
best of It up into rails.
Mending the fences was an an
nual job. The slothful fellow just
laid on another rail as they rotted
out at the bottom. But the better
farmers wouldn’t think of doing
that. They would raise the fence
up and insert the new rail on the
bottom next to the ground. By
noxt year the sap would have rot
ted off, and the long-lasting heart
rail was elevated a notch. In that
way a rail would usually last un
til it finally reached the top by
these slow stages.
To us kids the rail fence is
where we set most of our rabbit
boxes. The rabbits would gnaw
the sharp edge of the rail where
they went through. Then they
would use these places a lot. A box
set at one of these .fresh gnaws
was usually good for several rab
bits. When one went stale, we
walked the fence row hunting
another fresh one. To us every
gnaw on the rail fence was an op
portunity. It meant meat for the
pot.
For hogs a six rail fence was all
right. But for cattle and work
stock it took 10. Since o. r pas
tures were the combination sort,
our fences were usually the com
bination sort, our fences were
usually the standard 10 rail kind.

our 10, 25 and 50 cent piSces were
in paper money, and we had copper
pennies the size of a half dollar,
and a penny of a mixture of metals
that had a flying eagle on one side.
We had copper two cent pieces
about the size of a quarter and

We also had very small silver

job at each lubrication point
than the “specialized” •**»***•
they formerly used.
FARM ADVANTAGES at-a-glance:
1. A finer grouse at every point.
2. Less danger of applying the wrong greaso.
3. Quicker greasing operations.
4. Smallor grease stocks — one instead of 3 or 4.
5. Fewer grease guns.
