ONE GREASE
FOR au t
Lubrication lobs.
With just •one grease, Sinclair
Litholine, you can lubricate
chassis, wheel bearings, water
pumps, universal joints...
of your car, truck or tractor...
winter or summer.
Farmers find yt does a better
job at each lubrication point
than the "specialised” greases
they formerly used.
FARM ADVANTAGES ot-a-glancc
1. A finer grease at every point.
2. Less danger of applying the wrong greasn.
3. Quicker greasing operations.
4. Smaller grease stocks — c re instead of 3 or 4.
5. Fewer grease gu.%s.
6. Less waste.

Newberry, S. C.
As a kid, I never cared much for
dogs. Cats were more to my
liking. But my brother always
had to have his dogs, bird dogs.
I well recall the fate of my
first cat. She was about as old
as I was, and that was getting
along in age for a cat. And along
during her years she had lateral
ly littered that community with
cats. She had gotten old and crip
pled up from something like
rheumatism, and was an unsightly
thing lying around the place.
Since we had plenty cats be
sides her, my folks approached me
for getting rid of her. And it
seemed the older she got the fast
er she brough kittens, and larger
litters. They pictured how she
must be suffering from her crippl
ed condition and some sort of
mange was defoliating her too. So
I reluctantly agreed to let my
brother shoot her. He had just
gotten a new muzzle-loading gun,
a beautiful thing that belonged to
Uncle Dr. Bouknight in Columbia.
And he wanted to try it out.
He put a big load of powder in,
rammed it good with wadding,
and then put some BB shot in and
rammed that good with paper wad
ding. He thought he was really
loaded for bears. He took the
old cat out behind the woodpile
there in the orchard and turned
her loose there in the weeds. He
stepped back about forty feet, put
a cap on the fuse, aimed, and
cracked down, ka-bing-yow!
For a moment we could see
nothing for the smoke. But as it
cleared, we saw that cat cutting
double somersaults forward and
backwards. He thought he hadn’t
finished her off; so he rushed in
with gun in hand to see. He
couldn’t find a stick of any sort
handy. So to get her out of her
misery quick he hit her back of
the head with the gun stock. In
the excitement, he hit too hard
against the ground, and the finely
carved stock broke off there at the
small part!
■ftfell, that was tragedy for sure!
But the great old artisan, the vil
lage blacksmith at the foot of the
hill there in the valley, inlaid
some braces of bras and fixed it
so you could hardly tell it. And
that’s the story of my cat.
FARMS AND FOLKS
By J. M. ELEAZER
Clemson Extension Information Specialist
Our sympathy goes out to the
poor devil responsible for the
proof reading of a weekly news-
pappe. In one line of reading
matter two inches long there are
1,000 combinations by which mis
takes may be made, but note this
there is only ONE right way. Have
a heart.—Brockport Republic and
Democrat.
SIGNS OF PROGRESS
County Agent Mftler of York
tells me that they held their first
feeder calf sale back in October.
The 438 head brought $29,789.38.
With pastures ahd cattle coming
aong up there, this will likely be
an annual affair.
Fairfield county held its 15th
annual beef cattle rale in Sept
ember. The 570 head of fat cat
tle and feeders brought the farm
ers and 4-H Club members $77,-
000. There was a demand for
another feeder calf sale there. So
County Agent Lynn tells me it was
held in October, with 564 head
bringing $42,300.
Grass and cattle are adding up
to new money for the farms in
all parts of the state. And fall
seedings of both temporary and
permanent pastures have been
heavy again this time, I gather
from the county agents I’ve visit
ed.
“Crops Plus Livestock,” is fast
becoming ^ reality here where
crops once ruled alone. And that
makes a softer cushion for any
farm.
COKER 811
We all know' what Coker 100
means. It is the best cotton for
our area, leading all others so
consistently that we have just
about become a one variety state.
Not by law nor decree. But by
choice.
County agent Cannon of Lan
caster reported, “Checked our 7-
variety corn demonstrations. Cok
er 811 led all others for the sec
ond year.”
Others have told me the same
thing. It not only stood drought
better and made more corn, hut it
stood up better when the storm
struck. And, folks, all of these
are mighty important things.
Our man Hugh Woodle tells me
that Coker has another hybrid
corn they are releasing the com
ing year, Coker 911. But they
have only a very limited supply
of it. It will be included in the
variety tests that the county
agents put on in 1953. So you
will likely be able to see It grow
ing by the other right there ip
your community.
It begins to look like when we
need something better in the way
of a crop variety here, Coker is
not long in coming up with it.
THE FARM SQUEEZE
After studying all of the facts,
it looks to our economists Pke
1953 will see average farm prices
slightly down and farm expenses
slightly cp. *
So it looks like we will be in a
sort of squeeze, with costs up and
income down. That calls for close
planning and hard hitting, says
Dr. Rochester. ^
Cutting corners, where possible,
on expenses, and doing all we can
to increase yields, is our best
way out. And we can do a lot
there, specially on the latter item.
Increased yields of practically
everything is all that’s kept us in
the running for years now. And
there is still room in that direc
tion. Better varieties and better
methods are constantly coming
from ^experiment and experience.
We adopt them and our harvests
constantly improve.
There is one great yield po
tential that we are just beginning
to take hold of. And that is irri
gation! It is already writing a
new field story on many a farm
hei*e. As experience grows with
It, and we get our methods and
varieties attuned to It, we will
have a measure of crop insurance
that we have not known before.
FIRE COCNSCIOUS
Back in the early fall I was
riding with a business man of
Fresno to Yosemite Park in Cali
fornia. Soon we were out of the
heavily farmed San Joaquin alley
and climbing into the dry hills ap
proaching the mountains. They
were covered by golden grass.
Limited winter rains and snow
cause it to come forth in the
spring. For a while it is beautiful
and green. Then the searing
months of a rainless summer parch
it dp* ,/ * ' ”°» r v nutritious. b c
cause there is o rain to leach it.
And it supports a big cattle in
dustry.
Everything there would burn
with a flash. But I saw no evi
dence of woods nor range fires. I
learned why. Everyone out there
is fire conscious. They have to
be, or there wouldn’t be anything
left. As we started out, our host
showed us the ash receptacles in
the car and asked that we put
match stems and stumps in them
and not inadvertently throw any
out of the window. \ j
The Postmaster
%
Gives Advice
Postmaster G. K. Dominick be-
lievds a word or two to the wise
will help make Christmas as mer
ry as it should be.
“The 1952 Christmas season,”
be said, “is officially underway.
Here at the Post Office, we have
an enormous job to do. Naturally,
cyur main concern is the delivery
of all gift packages and Christ
mas cards by December 25.
“There’s about 154 million peo
ple in this country today. More
than ever before. More people, i
more Christmas mail. This means
of course, that a helping hand
from the public really is necessary.
“So it’s a pleasure for me to ex
plain what can be done. As foi
the Post Office, • we're getting
all set to do a good job!”
Postmaster Dominick has brief
ed local postal employees on what
to expect. He predicts this year's
Christmas mail will set a new all
time record, exceeding even the
volume of mail cancelled here in
1951.
Last-minute parcels and special
delivery mail will be distributed
on Dec. 25 in cities and villages
But not in rural areas. All busi
ness firms are requested to with
hold circular and catalogue mail
and to post their regular dorre
spondence by 4:00 p.m. each day,
during the critical month of pe
cember.
Time of mailing ' is especially
Important, and the earlier the bet
ter. The Postmaster emphasized
it is “everybody’s business” to foi
low this time-table for all Christ
mas mailings:
Mail Parcel Post—By Dec. 1 for
Overseas; By Dec. 5 for Out-of*
State; By Dec. 10 for Local De
livery.
Mail Christmas cards—By Dec
1 for Overseas; By Dec. 15 for
Out-of-State; By Dec. 18 for Local
Delivery.
Yuletide mail for overseas has
been going out in a steady flow
for several weeks now. Moreover,
there’s still time for delivery in
most foreign countries. But after
Dec. 1, all gifts going abroad,
should be sent by air parcel post
and all Christmas cards by air
mail.
We need more of that here. We
are getting it some. And we see
the results. But we still have a
long way to, go before the average
man here would caution visitors as
this friend did out there.
“Just keeping one lye on the cal
endar, however, isn’t enough, 14
continued Mr. Dominick. “Here’s
how to avoid disappointing your
friends and loved ones. I think it
makes good sense.
“Visit the Post Office this week,
while the crowds are still small.
Buy all those extra stamps you’ll
be needing, and ask aay questions
you • may have about registered
mail or insured packages.,
, “Stock up on supplies of sturdy
cardboard, strong cord, wrapping
paper, and parcel post labels. Then
mail your gift packages two oi
three at a time. If you wait to
mail them all at once, congestion
increases.
“Check and revise your Christ
mas card list carefully. Select
your Christmas cards now, and ad-
dres each envelope plainly and
completely. Give the full name,
house number, city, zone, and
state. Show your return address
HAZEL IS STATE
PUBLICITY AGENT
W. G. Hazel, of Bennettsvllle
and Columbia, has been named as
state publicity chairman for
Crusade for Freedom. Mr. Hazel,
who was for many years publisher
of weekly newspapers in the state,
is now advertising director of the
Capital Life and Health Insurance
company. He still lives in Ben-
nettsville, but has an office in the
Capital Life building in Columbia.
Mr. Hazel will work in coopera
tion with Publicity Chairmen in
the various counties of the state.
also in the upper left hand corner
of the envelope.”
So follow these helpful Injttruc-
rions, whether your gifts and
greetings are going to far away
places or to the neighbors next
door, or as the Postmaster said,
the Christmas mail is “everybody’s
business!” tr n;
