winter or summer.
Farmers find it does a better
job at each lubrication point
than the "specialized” greases
they formerly used.
FARM ADVANTAGES, at-a-glance:
1. A finer grease at every point.
2. Less danger of applying the wrong grease.
3. Quicker greasing operations.
4. Smaller grease stocks — one instead of 3 or 4.
5. Fewer grease guns.
6. Less waste.

There is a good choice of bolt-
action shotguns on the market
this year and they offer the oppor
tunity of getting off on the right
side of the cash register. Pete
Brown, our arms expert, reports.
“I have made a survey of the
bolt-actions on the market this
year and have done some shoot
ing with them. I am not a bolt-
action fan where shotguns are
concerned, but I will say this. If
a better shotgun was going to
stand between me and the chance
to get out in the field, I would get
a bolt-action. Where ballistic per
formance is concerned, the bolt-
action will shoot just as hard and
far as any other shotgun.”
When it comes to functioning,
the bolt-actions are in a class by
themselves. As repeaters, any of
them jg*e rather clumsy and not
as fast as the other types of re
peaters. In the first place, the
bolts are of necessity long, large
in diameter and heavy. The bolt
handles are far forward—shotgun
butt stocks (from butt to trigger)
are about one inch longer than
rifle stocks and the bolt handles
are pretty well forward as it is.
When loading a second shot, it is
necessary—unless you are a long-
armed guy—to do some reaching
for the bolt handle. Therefore, you
won’t get that second well-direct
ed shot off as quickly as you will
with other types of repeaters. The
bolt-action shotguns are not what
you would call smooth operating
and, generally speaking, they are
not a beautiful gun.
Still, they’re excellent for the
beginner. You get a lot of gun in
one of these bolt-actions and they'
are guns you can use safely—you
can also bag game and enjoy
shooting them. If I wasn’t going
to do a lot of shooting and wasn’t
sure that I would stay in the
sport, I would be tempted by the
bolt-actions. They are a good
proposition for a young fellow
starting out. He can find out
whether he wants to stick with
the sport and at the same time
come to a better decision on what
to get when he decides to buy a
more expensive gun.
If you have the opportunity of
looking at various models before
making a selection, by all means
do so. There Is no substitute for
seeing and feeling. .
Newberry College
To Work With Duke
President James C. Kinard of
Newberry College announced this
week that the college has been
accepted by Duke University to
co-operate In its forestry school
training program.
Under the program, Newberry
students will follow a threeyear
coordinated study program in arts
and science and will then transfer
to Duke for two years. Duke will
award them master degrees in for
estry and Newberry bachelor de
grees upon completion of the five-
year course.
Similar plans have been in use
for pre-medical and pre-law stu
dents.
Conservation
Report Made
Newberry Soil Conservation Dis
trict is completing an outstanding
year in grassland farming, accord
ing to district spokesman. The
following report of activities dur
ing the year was given:
One hundred and one new co-
operators represent i n g 13,000
acres, have received assistance
during 1952. This brings the total
farmers actively cooperating with
the District to 1,095 and embraces
144,042 acres. All of this adds up
to 42 percent of the total farms
and 59 percent of the total acres
in the County that are cooperating
with the Newberry Soil Conserva
tion District.
Ninety percent of the District
now has land capability surveys
recorded in aerial photos. Capa
bility of land is determined by
slope, soil type and degree of
erosion.
The Soil Conservation Service
has assisted 108 P & MA part
icipants in planning and applying
permanent type soil conservation
practices on their farms.
During the year farmers co-
operators with the District have
treated 3510 acres of grazing land
bringing the total to 18,516 acres.
In addition 6000 acres were re
seeded to annual and perennial
grazing crops, thus bringing New
berry County into the upper
brackets of grassland farming.
Water disposal areas seeded
during 1952 bring the total estab
lished to 98 out of 135 which have
been planned.

Goals Announced
For S. C. Crops
CLEM SON, Jan. 5—Notice of
the 1953 acreage and production
goals for spring-seeded crops for
the nation and for South Caro
lina as recently announced by the
secretary of agriculture has been
received here from the office of
R. W. Hamilton, chairman. South
Carolina Agricultural Mobilization
Committee, Columbia.
The South Carolina acreage and
production goals for 1963 as an
nounced are: Cotton, 910,000 acres,
569,000 bales; corn, 1,350,000 acres,
28,847,000 bushels; oats, 75,000
acres, 16,972,000 bushels; soy
beans for beans 100,000 acres, 1,-
187,000 bushels; tame hay, 550,-
000' acres^ 4§JL',000 tons; grain
sorghums, 5,000 acres, 88,000 bush
els; all sorghums, 20,000 acres;
and rice, 4,000 acres, 75,000 cwt.
The state cotton acreage goal
is 168,000 acres less than the
state’s 5-year annual average plant
ed acreage of 1,078,000 acres for
the years 1947-51 which was the
goal recommended by the State
Agricultural Mobilization Commit
tee.
The national cotton acreage and
production goal as announced for
1953 is 22.8 million acres and 13
million bales. This acreage is only
about 86 percent of the 1952 plant
ed acreage and if adopted will
mean a reduction of about one
acre out of each 8 acres planted
last year. In announcing this
goal Secretary Brannon pointed
out that in arriving at a national
goal consideration was given to
the current and indicated supply
and demand for cotton.
He explains that on this basis
a production of 13 million bales
appears adequate to take care of
expected consumption and ex
ports in 1953-64. He says this level
of production will make available
a supply of cotton for meeting
foreseeable domestic and expert
demands for cotton and should
provide an adequate carryover. He
adds that better uses can be made
of land, labor, and other resources
than that of producing surplus
supplies of cotton.
The announcement calls atten
tion to the fact that prices for the
1953 cotton crop will be sup
ported at 90 percent of parity as
of the beginning of the market
ing year August 1, 1953.

Y OUR child’s birthday party is always a memorable event.
Probably you’d like to spend a great deal each year in
order to have things iust right. And most likely, your
budget won’t allow it.
Without a large expenditure, you can have party acces
sories with a custom look. To make place mats, napkins and
bibs, you need only some drill or other sturdy fabric and
several packages of the new adhesive denim patches that
can be ironed onto the fabric. (These will withstand fre
quent launderings.) ^ .
You’ll want to work out your own contrasting color
schemes, of course. For four place mats and four napkins,
you’ll need one and one-eighth yards of fabric. Begin by
cutting out four rectangles 20 by 13 inches and four 10-inch
squares.
Fringe each edge of each piece by pulling threads so that
you get a one-half-inch fringe. A row of machine stitching
around the inside edge of the fringe will keep it from fraying
when it’s laundered.
^ Now, trace your child’s favorite animals onto the denim
patches and cut them out. Place the cut-out figures on the
mats and napkins and iron into place.
For the bibs, make a pattern from brown wrapping paper
for each bib. You can do this by tracing around a bib you
already have on hand.
Bind the edges of the bib with narrow bias tape which
you can buy in the five-and-ten. Stitch it around the edges
of the bib on the right side, then turn it to the wrong side
and hem. Continue the bias strip at the neckline to niake
These c*y circus ficnres look bright and pretty on place mats and
napkins for a birthday party. Decorative cut-outs are made from
new adhesive patches in bright-colored denim. They are ironed on,,
will adhere perfectly and will launder indefinitely.

BOYS ARE
THAT WAY
By J. M. ELEAZER
Cats are mine, and dogs my
brother’s.
I told you about my cats last
week.
My brother loved to hunt. I
didn’t. Think I was pust too
lazy to do all of that walking.
I’d a lot rather sit on the creek
bank in the shade and fis-h. Or
just lie on my back down in the
pasture, behind a cedar tree, and
watch the buzzards soaring on
high, wishing all the time I could
do that.
He liked all sorts of hunting,
but specially bird hunting. And
he could kill ’em too. Some of
our older cousins and uncles also
liked to hunt, were good shots,
and he could hold his own wjth
any of ’^m.
The only sort of dogs he ever
kept was bird dogs. It was hard
to feed ’em. Our folks were very
frugal people, there were few
scrapes left from the table, and
they went into the kitchen slop for
the pigs. That was all kept in an
old wooden candy bucket that
caught all of the greasy dish
water, scrapings from the pots,
and meager scraps from the table.
Nothing was wasted. It all went
in that bucket that iu turn pro
duced the hog or two that we in
turn ate the following year.
In the fall my brother gleaned
the corn fields, picking up the
nubbins that were left. These fur
nished meal for making dog bread.
But even the corn was often
scarce, and the going got rough
for his dogs. One year everyone
made a very poor corn crop. So
they left very little in the field.
His dogs got mighty thin that
winter. We had made a wagon
load of pumpknis in the corn
field down on the creek. These
were stored in a stable. When
his corn gave , out, he thought
about those pumpkins. He cooked
them in the washpot, mixing in a
little corn meal and greasy dish
water he stole from the hogs to
season it a little, and fed it to his
dogs.
I can still see those old thin
dogs smelling at it and balking at
that dish at first. But they would
stand and fidget around a bit
until they saw nothing else was
forthcoming. Then they would sort
of bare their teeth, so it wouldn’t
touch their mouth much, and gulp
It down. Evidently there wasn’t
much substance in it, but It did
keep their ribs from caving in
until better times came.
