ELEAZER Clemaon Extension Information Specialist BOYS ARE THAT WAY By J. M. ELEAZER . FUN APLENTY Calf scramble! Ever hear of one? For several years they have been having one at the Charles ton fair. County Agent Carraway tells me it is sponsored by their county livestock association, and local business interests and farmers do nate the calves. Four-H club mem bers who have suitable arrange ments for feeding out a calf are eligible to participate. On a big night at the fair the calves are herded together in one end of the enclosed field. At the other end the eligible 4-H members toe the line. Each has been given a piece of rope, and at the word “Go” ttiey light out for the calves. If a boy catches a, calf, ropes it, and leads it from the ring, it is his to feed out. And the understand ing is that it does not belong to him at all unless he takes proper care of it according to instruc tions furnished by the county agent. Carraway says they have had to take back only 3 calves in 7 years and one died. This past fall they had 53 boys scrambling for 25 calves. A new feature this time was a calf scramble for 4-H girls. So far as they had been able to deter mine, this was the first thing of the sort for girls in the United States. They had 12 calves for this event that was taken part in by 24 girls. Carraway said some folks had their doubts about the ability of gorls to take part -in such rough and tumble affair. But after the scramble was over, all doubts were dispelled. He said those girls went after those calves with equal or more vigor than the boys did. They had a big time and made a real show of it. Three thousand folks attended the event. So now 37 4-H members over Charleston county have beef type calves to grow out and offer at their annual sale next fall. Title to the calf is not theirs. The , calf is theirs to feed out. And when they do that job right and ^ sell the fatted calf, the money is theirs. APPLE MARKET IS GOOD ■ # The Long Creek Apple Market ing Authority was organized up in Oconee the past summer. Our state marketing authority aided them in setting up a cooperative and in packing out a good uni form grade of apples. I visited the shed twice and they were put- ing out as attractive packages of box apples as you see anywhere. Now that their first market ing season is over, listen to what County Agent Morgan has to say: “We had a very successful year, and apple growers, of the area have been able to dispose of their crop at exceptionally good prices and with greater ease than for any previous crop. The greater part of the crop was sold to Dixie Home Stores. This was the first time the growers have been able to sell large quantities of apples to this type of market. This was made possible because they were able to grade and pack their apples on a cooperative basis and sell large quantities of uni form variety, grade, and size.” By next season they plan to have a modern cider mill there to take care of Culls. I like to linger among those gentle and genteel folks of the hills up there. Fine people! TREATING SOIL A whole new frontier of disease and insect control is opening up on tme farming front. I’ve been telling for several seasons now how some trials of organic poisons in the fertilizer by County Agent Hubbard has just about conquer ed wireworms in the soils of the Bamberg area. And just recently our man Net tles suggested to County Agent Gray of Greenville that they try applying some of these powerful sodspoisons in irrigation water to sods where white grubs were ruin ing them. The thing worked just fine. Dead grubs could be raked up there by the bandfulls. And the relatively small amount of poison used didn’t hurt anything else. There is a treatment now that’s proving effective in killing nema todes or root knot in the soil. County Agen King om Marion tells me that at least half of their to bacco acreage will be so treated previous to planting. He put out a good many demonstrations with a material for this the past year, and results were excellent. Your county agent keeps up on the de tails of this. Ask him. IN A HAZE . . .

Paysinger, Around home we were powerful for nicknames. It was seldom that a young’un was known by his real name. So persistent were nicknames that some youngsters hardly remembered what their real names were. I was one of the latter sort. Only one person ever called me by my real given name, Malcolm. And that was a cousin that died a good many years ago. To start with, my first nick name was Doodle. That’s all folks knew me by until I left home for college. Somewhere along then it was changed to Doots. I don’t know just when nor where it was started. It just gradually took the place of Doodle. But the friends of my early days that I had left back in the sone hills still called me Doodle, and they do to this day. That name was given me by the faithful nurse that helped with me when I was a baby. And it stuck. Our nicknames 'usually had some sort of reasonable origin. That is, the names were not just taken from thin air and applied. For instance a cousin went to then far-away Valdosta, Georgia, to work. When he came home he spoke of that place. So we call ed him Val from then on. There was a very tall and lanky old man who lived about a mile acrosss the hills from,/ us by the name of Tom. My brother was a that way too, as he was growing up,. so Mike nicknamed him Tom. But that man’s wife had in turn nicknamed him Dolly. So, learn ing that, Mike soon changed my brother’s nickname to Dolly too. And it stuck for a long time.

F OR quite some weeks we’ve had a time reading “slo gans” writ in rhyme; many a laugh has come our way, pe rusing entries day by day— filled with humor, native wit, we’d often nearly throw a fit. We want to share our fun with you, so here are quoting-just a few: “If your old man stays tank ed on rum, insure his life and shoot the bum.” “If you’re a jerk who beats his wife, don’t put it off—insure her life.” “When Wifey’s Mom begins to pout, insure her life and throw her out.” “Financial strife? ex pensive wife? End it all—buy Capital Life.” “I was sent to the hospital, didn’t have a cent—showed my Capital Life F olicy, and right into the bed went.” Then. “12,000 slogans tried the grade; 12,000 friends we hope we made.” As slogans gd, these aren’t so hot—but think of all the fun we got.

SUMMONS AND NOTICE OF PRESENTATION STATE OF NEW YORK, SUPREME COURT COUNTY OF ERIE. CHARLES ATWOOD, PlainMtt. -vs- RUBY ATWOOD, Defendant STARTLED BY NEWS OF DEATH-RAY INVENTION (By ANTONY TERRY) BERLIN, Dec. 1—A “death ray” which, it is claimed, can burst an aircraft into flames at a distance of several miles, and kill outright at shorter distances, has been invent ed by Eastern German scientists. This news, reported from Com munist underground circles in the Russian zone, has startled Allied intelligence authorities in Berlin. It says that Russia already has taken delivery of the first 140 pro jectors, manufactured in great se crecy at the Communist-controlled Zeiss optical works at Jena. Eastern German secret police also are reported to have placed a security cordon 10 miles deep around the small town of Brauns berg, 60 miles northwest of Ber lin. Said to operate vertically or horizontally, the projectors’ work is to blanket the sky up to a pre determined height with a screen of death “through which no ma chine can pass without catching fire.” In recent tests, carried out with Russian planes, eyewitness ac counts said, radio-directed'aircraft burst into flames and broke up as they flew into range of the death-ray projectors. A sudden crop of forest fires and the mysterious death of 34 people first caused news of the tests to leak out The accidents were caused by the inability of the ray-projector crews, operating in ACTION FOR ABSOLUTE DIVORCE TO THE ABOVE NAMED DE FENDANT: You are hereby summoned to answer the complaint in this ac tion, and to serve a copy of your answer, or, if the complaint is not served with this summons, to serve a notice of appearance, ' on the plaintiff’s attorney within twenty days after the service of this summons, exclusive of the day of service.
