FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 1953 THE NEWBERRY SUN PAGE THREE Cashmere Sweaters, Elegant Yet Practical Velvet flowers with jeweled centers are ap- pliqued on this pure white cashmere cardigan. Stems and leaves are embroidered. Little buds add a dainty note to the decoration which goes all around the sweater top. The cardigan is shown with a pullover, also in pure cashmere. BY EDNA MILES T HE cashmere sweater, like mink and diamonds, I’en- erally can be regarded as a luxury. And yet, like many fine things, it’s a sound, long- range investment. It wears beautifully, rarely goes out of style and always carries its own air of distinction. It is, then, well worth the money. This season, cashmere sweaters by Hadley have been given beads or flowers for evening wear. Or, if you like, you can add your own trimming for a single wearing. The new cashmeres have fine detailing which includes: little ribbed collars, crocheted edgings and turtle neck. tops. Some have wide scoop necks for evening wear and some are in whitp, red, or soft blue. Others appear in the classic blacks, neutral beiges, and whites. The Hadley cash meres are mothproofed in a proc ess that makes them resist in roads of salt water or even per spiration. In choosing your cashmere, pick one that best suits your way of life. If your choice happens to be the classic pullover or cardigan, you can change it by using bright accessories, scarves, gay flowers, or new costume jewelry This delightful pure cashmere evening sweater has a new scoop neckline with crochet-trim and ribbed cuffs on the brief sleeves. It packs beauti fully and can be a dancing-costume topper to go with a cocktail or evening skirt. The wide, lovely neckline makes a perfect frame for jewelry. FARMS AND FOLKS By J. M. ELEAZER Clemson Extension Information Specialist LESPEDEZA PLANTING TIME Annual lespedeza is seeded on grain now, February and early March, at 40 pounds per acre. This has proven to be about the best general hay crop to ever come our way. It is also good for graz ing and as a money crop for seed. Drought often cuts it short, but it will respond strongly to irrigation during dry summers. Lespedeza sencea is sown on a well prepared firm seedbed in March or April at the rate of 25 pounds of scarified seed per acre. After becoming established, it is about our best drought-resistant plant. It makes good hay ahd grazing when not allowed to get tough. And it is also a good seed crop. Plantings of it live on for years. Lespedeza bicolor is a shrub, planted mainly on field and wood land borders as bird feed and cover. County agents distribute thousands of its seedlings each winter to 4-H club boys for plant ing on their home farms. The state fish and game department produces the seedlings thus dis tributed. The lespedezas, three sorts, are becoming more and more appreci ated as valuable additions to the crops of the average farm. All are legumes that not only hold the soil but build it, in addition to their other values. 4-H CAMP IMPROVEMENT In 1951 the 4-H clubs of the state set a goal of $50,000 to be raised by the different county groups for use in making needed improvements at the two state 4-H club camps at Camp Long and Camp Cooper. To date the young sters and their leaders have raised and sent to the state 4-H club of fice at Clemson a total of $27,- 036.71. Sixteen counties have com pleted their allotments, and the others are making substantial pro gress on theirs, according to L. O. Clayton, state 4-H club agent. The boys and girls, with their leaders in the counties, work out various means for raising their quotas to this fund. The county and home agents in a number of cases report that these efforts have increased interest in group activities in their counties. And camp supervisors report a better attitude of the campers toward camp property, which they have helped secure through their coun ty efforts. FARM DOLLARS “Nothing is so constant as change.” I often quote that, for it has so much meaning. The source of our farm income is no exception. It changes too. In 1925 we got 69.4 percent of our farm income from cotton lint and seed. By 1950 this had chang ed to 33.2 percent. But during this time our farm income from TRIM OLD BRUSHES . .

Cotton is needed in done just the reverse. Their per centage of our farm income rose from 10.4 in 1925 to 23.5 percent in 1950, according to our- Dr. Ro chester. Cotton is still a great crop here. But our average farm business is in far better shape by not being so strongly dependent upon it now. And it is being helped to an in creasing extent by one of the saf est and surest of farm enterprises, livestock and poultry. History shows that crop farming alone is very hazardous. But add livestock in some form best suited to the individual farm and you have a safer farm program there. Not only for the present, but for the future too. For livestock in its varied forms not only adds another money crop, but it carries the elements of permanence gpd soil fertility that crop farming alone does not. One money crop has made phenomenal growth in our farm income, and that is tobacco. In 1925 we got about 12 million dol lars from it. In 1950 we got al most 82 million dollars from tobac co. Change is not always for the good. But ours in agricultural in come in recent years has surely been all to the good. And in all of this the 4-H club youngsters have played a major part. Their prize winning hogs, dairy cattle, beef cattle, and poultry have mark ed the way at many a fair and in many a county. COTTON PRICES My friend and classmate, Hugh Agnew, president of our state Farm Bureau, says the price of cotton for the past 14 years has averaged 35 percent higher in May than in October. We force most of it on the market as we gin it. That depress- I bounced out of bed and into the shower. I proceeded to give forth with my usual rendition of Road to Mandalay. A few minutes later, back in the bedroom, I heard someone at the back door talking to the wife. “I came just as soon as I could, dearie,” Miss Fannie, our nosey neighbor, was saying to the wife. “I don’t understand,” says the wife. *T could hear you screaming all the way to my house,” says Miss Fanny. “Some men are just nat urally mean in the morning.” “Oh-h-h,” says the wife, with .growing understanding. “I wouldn’t stand for it,” says Miss Fanny. “It’s not the beating, so much,” says the wife, “as it is his chasing me with the butcher knife.” “Now stop that,” I screamed from the bedroom and dashed to the kitchen. ‘Til have you know I never beat my wife,” I says to Miss Fanny. “She’s got a perverse sense of humor.” Miss Fanny looked me up and down and let go with a wonderful ‘wolf whistle’ for a lady of sixty. “My, what a man,” says she. I realize I’m only wearing my shorts and dash for safety. There was a lot of jabber from the kitchen and I heard Miss Fan ny say, "You just call me, dearie, the next time he starts beating you. I’ll fix him.” The back door slammed and I sneaked back to the kitchen. “Now look here,” says I. “My what a man!” the wife shouts. I retreated from the kitchen and the house to the office, going the long way around so I wouldn’t have to pass Miss Fanny’s house. The wife has called twice today. All she’ll say is, “My what a man!” What can a guy do with a wife like that? steady flow all the year through. Then out in the spring, when the fall marketings are about used up, up goes the price to pull out the bales that have been stored. It’s a pity more farmers couldn’t take advantage of the peaks in cotton prices. BOYS ARE THAT WAY By J. M. ELEAZER Last Week I told about the torture of shod feet at Sunday School when I was a boy. Sunday School was over in an hour. But just imagine how long an hour would be if you were standing on a hot stove. For burning feet, that had been free all week, in tight shoes on Sunday were a lot like that. When Sunday School was over, we had 15 minutes before church services started. I lit out for the woods then, sat on an old log, and rested my bare feet on a large flint rock that stayed cool there beneath the great oaks. My, how soothing that was! One Sunday, enjoying that bliss, I recalled the additional hour of COWGIRL . . . Fringed suede sunsuit and calfskin boots laced with rawhide fit Joan Hugg for vacation in Tucson, Arizona. pain that was to follow. I had an idea. I would go down across the road to Cousin Martha’s house, draw a bucket of her cool water, and pour some of it down in my shoes. I thought that would keep the fire from starting up again in them. That cool water felt good at first, and I walked back up the hill with hopes right. The bell was ringing for the service to start, and I went right on in. Walking up that hill had started my “dogs” warming up and expanding a bit. And, at the same time, I think the water caused the shoes to shrink a bit. Anyway, I was soon in mis ery again. And it became .worse than before. Because what had been a dry torture before now had steam added. The center of the pain was that seam that came in the bottom of my foot, as usual. I thought surely I’d have to leave church or cry out with pain right then and there. But I knew that both of those were unthinkable. So I sweated it out, and was the first to leave just as the preacher pro nounced the last word of the bene diction. I didn’t give it the usual little courtesy of a genteel pause before grabbing my hat and hit ting it for the door. No, sir, I was escaping from a fire that felt like it Was about to consume me from the ground up. I ran at first, upon getting out in the clear.

Folks, no relief that has ever come' to me has quite equaled that to my feet in a mud puddle there in the ditch by the path to wards home. The result of that day at Sunday School and Church was a blister on one heel and a long one under the center of each foot where that cruel crease form ed in my calloused sole that day. Next Sunday I couldn’t wear shoes. So got out of going to Sunday School and Church, which made the whole experience not add up to a complete loss. now with PAGE GAGE takes the guesswork out of page-end typing!

But it made a lot of noise. Muffling that noise — and still getting rid of exhaust gases as fast as they come from the cylinders — has stumped the automobile people for years. Now, Buick engineers have racked up another “first.” They have come up with a muffler of supreme quiet and zero power loss- first time in history. Television treat—the BUICK CIRCUS HOUR—every fourth Tuesday. It is called a dynamic flow muffler. And it is one of many advances that make the great 1953 Buick Roadmaster even greater. For this automobile — the greatest Buick in fifty great years—has a bril liant new V8 Engine that can turn up 188 hp. And every one of its horse* powers can be delivered as usable power — since none is restricted in muffler passage.
