AND LOAN ASSOCIATION
OF KKWBSRR Y
for Spring Finery
BY EDNA MILES
O NE fashion idea that’s taking an important hold for
spring is the knitted look. This means that dresses,
basic suits, even cravats, are knitted, crocheted, or hand-
woven.
Designer Ann Fleischer has done a whole group of these fashions
on a knitted theme, even combining them with classic cashmeres
in some instances. She has used monotone or multicolored tweed-
ribbon colars, cuffs and belts on cashmere sweaters and matched
this trim to woven-ribbon skirts and jackets.
A skirt of hand-woven ribbon in a red, white, and blue check
was shown with three versions of the navy cashmere top. One black
cashmere with three-quarter-length sleeves and scoop neckline kept
company with a black, hand-knitted silk skirt dotted with large,
hand-knitted poppies.
For the first time linen yarn is crocheted in an Irish lace pattern
and cut into a dress-top worn with a matching hand-loomed linen
skirt. For a hand-knitted sweater-dress, the designer uses dusty
pink, flame, and wine for a triangular top and pairs it with a skirt
in solid wine.
The hand-woven ribbon material has been adapted to men’s
cravats. Women like Jo buy ties that match their own dresses and
give them to their husbands. These have banded details or solid
stripes.
«
Ann Fleischer designs an elegant hand-woven ribbon-tie, in ■" ►
white, with a contrasting hand worked on a slant. This is one
of the cravats she shows with her tailored knits for husband and
wife style harmony. The dress combines a cashmere pullover and
hand-woven black and white ribbon-skirt, collar and cuffs.

FARMS AND FOLKS

SOIL ON FIRE
While I was with County Agent
King of Marion, back in the early
winter, the muck soil of Catfish
Swamp was on fire at places.
And when the wind was right,
they had to close the main high
way out towards Florence several
times, the smoke was so bad.
Upon leaving there, I stopped
to see this strange phenomenon
good. That muck soil is just about
all organic matter. It seldom gets
dry or it wouldn’t be there. But
they have had several rather dry
years and the swamp has been
drained. So it was burning, and
there seemed to be no stopping it
Even a good rain has no effect on
it, as it burns deep. Flooding is
about all that will eventualy stop
it, they tod me. I saw many trees
that had been undermined and
they tumbled into the holes that
were left.
Much of that great swamp has
been drained, cleared, and put to
pasture. And fine pastures they
are, hundreds of acres of ’em.
And some of that land is farmed
in crops. But in all operations
there during dry times, they have
to be very careful about fire. A
cigarette stump will readily start
it, and it eats slowly down and
under the surface, that might even
be a bit damp from dew or rain.
You dig in and think you have it.
But in all likelihood it will soon
start smoking at another pace.
Strange for this part of the
county. Florida has a good hit
of that sort of land. It is their
valued winter vegetable lands
mostly, infinitely rich, but also
subject to burning. But they do
food irrigation on most of it, and
in that way they can put fires out.
That land is like a cushion when
you walk on it. Irrigated fall
sown grazing on some of that in
Marion was very fine, otherwise
it wouldn’t have come up.
CORN MEAL
At the Clemson House and at
the Oregon Hotel in Greenwood
ate corn-meal turkey dressing
that was wonderfully good. Won
der why we can’t have more of
that sort? Much of it we get
around is sticky, glue^ stuff you
can hardly eat, and if you do it
gives you the heart burn.
Good corn mea 1 is the makin’
for a lot of good eatin'. I’ve eaten
corn bread that was better to me
than pound cake. While made by
other cooks It is only fit for the
dogs that finally get it.
And corn meal souffle! Oh, boy,
there you have a delight that’s al
so good for the stomach. The only
public place I ever saw it served
was at the Fort Sumter Hotel in
Charleston. It was passed around
free, but usually gave out before
it got to me.
That was a time that corn meal
had a sort of health stigma at
tached to It. Back during the
hard times of corn meal and white
meat, we had a Ibt of pellagra
caused by eating little else. But in
recent times we are getting some
of that lean meat too. And we
have learned from the home eco
nomist about food values that we
can grow or get with the means
we have.
We still eat a lot of corn pro
ducts, both meal and grits. But
they too have been vastly im
proved as foods. Clemson worked
out simple and inexpensive means
for adding the health minerals
and vitamins that corn lacks, at
milling time. And now we have
"enriched” products from corn.
Several other states in the heavy
coTn-product eating area have
adopted laws similar to ours about
enrichment.
What we need now is a lot more
folks who can make those very
fine things out of corn products,
principally meal, for we see that
messed up a lot more often than
grits.
THE GARDEN NOW
The winds of March will soon
subside. It will be the beginning
of growth time then. Have you
prepared your garden for that?
Many things should be already
planted, and now is the time for
others. And then a little later
is the time to put the seed or
plants of frost-tender things out.
Remember, the general outlook
is for the things we have to buy
to be a bit higher and the things
we have to sell will likely be a
little lower. We have to catch up
that slack somewhere. If you’ve
been in a grocery store lately you
will realize what a good garden
can be made to mean.
BOYS ARE
THAT WAY
By J. M. ELEAZER
Last week we talked here about
how we used to grease the axles
of our wagons and buggies, first
using fresh pine resin and then
later axle grease.
I will remember those early
axle grease boxes. They were
about 6 inches in diameter and
about 3 Inches deep, made of thin
wood veneer sides and solid wood
top and bottom. They were about
like our present 1 pound coffee
cans, but made entirely of wood.
The grease was thick and yel
low, but got black after it was
worked up on the axle. It was
usually kept on a ledge above the
gear-room door. It resembled
cheese, and the tales persisted in
the stone hills of folks eating it
at first, before they knew what It
was. The little box it came In
looked just like the larger ones
that cheese still comes in.
Our longest trips in buggy or
wagon were to Columbia, 20 long
miles away. A day was taken each
way. And we never failed to take
the axle grease along. For after
that practically all day trip, the
axes needed greasing again before
the return trip was undertaken.
To keep from having to lift and
also get our hands and clothes
dirty, we carried a short piece of
board with a notch sawed from
one end of it to use to raise the
wheels up so we could take ’em
off and grease the axles. That
board was several inches higher
than the axle. We would place
the notched part against the axle,
pull the shafts or tongue of the
vehicle, and up the axle would
be raised on the board. We stop
ped with it on dead center, and
^there It held the wheel off the
ground for the greasing operation.
Everybody had some such board
that was kept at a certain place
down at the barn and it found
constant use at axle greasing time.
An industrious neighbor made him
a sort of jack with a block, up
right, and lever that he hoisted
his wheels with at greasing time.
That was better, for it wouldn’t let
the vehicle run off the prop, as
ours sometime did. You then had
to lift a dirty axle from the ground
and clean off all of the grit.
