Phone 68 Newberry Students At ‘Little Ashram , Newberry College had the larg est group of Lutheran students in attendance at the “Little Ash ram’’ held at Lutheridge, Arden, N.

ELEAZER Clemson Extension Information Specialist FIFTEEN TIMES! Last summer Will Henderson of Greenwood county upped his corn yield a bit over 15 times by irriga tion. William Hannah of Abbe ville did likewise. Will had a 12 acre uniform field that he planted thiCK and fertiliz ed well. The season turned off very dry. He reached half way down the rows with sprinkler ir rigation. Otherwise all of that corn was handled the same. From the irrigated 6 acres he harvested 129 bushels per acre. The other 6 acres averaged 8.2 bushels of very sorry nubbins per acre. This corn yield was check ed by County Agent Garvin of Greenwood and then rechecked by County Agents Bull and Bethea of Abbeville. Last year over 700 farmers par ticipated in the State Corn Con test. All were shooting for a big yield. Good varieties and latest methods were applied. Thick spacings and liberal fertilization built prospects for good yields. But, alas, it was a very dry sum mer. Needed showers did not come at most places. Less thati a dozen of those farmers employ ed the latest thing in farming here, supplementary irrigation. They all qualified for the State 100 Bushel Corn Club. And out of that small group came 6 of the 8 state and district winners. And the two winners who did not ir rigate told me they hoped to get local showers right at the critical time. Otherwise, theirs would have burned up too. Yes, crop insurance! That’s what we can make out of this thing we call supplementary irri gation. But, let’s remember, to make it pay, we must put plenty of stalks and fertility there for it to work with. COTTON REMINDERS A weeder or rotary hoe breaks the crust, kills young grass, and helps young cotton that’s struggl ing to get out of the ground. . Thrips is a very small insect that often hurts or destroys cot ton stands in the up-country in May and early June. The insect is hard to see. But its work is not. It first causes the silvering of the underside of the leaves and then they crinkle or “pos sum-ear” up. The remedy is dusting or spraying with any of the recommended boll Weevil poi sons. Don’t destroy your full stand of cotton by over chopping. Both experiment and experience prove that it pays to leave a lot of stalks on the land. Clemson’s new circu lar on the subject says 3 stalks to the hill, 8 to 12 inches apart, is about right. That Circular 367 carries latest dope on producing cotton, including complete de tails about insect control. It is free from your county egent. SAFETY In a Greenville police depart ment safety broadcast I heard a good rewrite of an old saying. It was, “Drive Carefully. Children are to be seen, n6t hurt.” And on the farm, with mechani zation growing so, we have new dangers too. Read the rule book that comes with each new ma chine. And obey the v safety warnings, if you would live loug and not be crippled. Our extension / farm machinery man, M. C. McKenzie, tells me he often sees safety guards on farm machines removed entirely or dangling dangerously in place. The manufacturer didn’t put those ‘ things on the machine just for fun. Maybe there is a hidden danger there you do not see or appreciate. We know the main danger that a mule carried. And we stayed away from his heels. But we know very little «yet about the danger points of the machine that has replaced so many of the mules. And the result is that some fqlks get hurt by the machine, when it was not at all necessary. The wise man will learn the danger points of a machine and avoid and respect them. That way he will live longer. BOUNTY ON LOCAL CORN Once we imported much of our corn from the West. But little of that is done now. And District Agent J. T. Lazar points out a little-thought-of reason why we should increase our emphasis on growing corn here. There is a 40c a bushel freight differential in our favor by growing our needs. For that’s what it costs to bring western corn here. Warns Of Spring Fever Pedestrians The Motor Transportation As sociation of South Carolina drivers were cautioned today by their president, Mr. W. W. Akers, Jr., to beware of the pedestrian suffering from spring fever. “Spring fever causes pedestrians to act in unpredictable ways,” Mr. Akers said. -"The smitten person may dart across an intersection, while an amber or even red light stares at him—or he may stroll into the path of an oncoming car unconsciously.” Mf 7W Kjtxtmg By TED RESTING I’m tired of photographs of grin ning anglers holding up strings of dead fish. So I asked Ormal Sprungman, one of this country’s outstanding wildlife cameramen, for some new angles on filming fish. The most difficult shot for shut ter-clicking sportsmen is a leaping fish. From Sprungman I learked that you must bring a freshly- hooked fish to the surface as quickly as possible. You focus at the point where the line cuts the water, and release the shutter as soon as the fish starts his up ward climb. If you delay until he is already freewheeling in open air, you’ll probably catch only the final splash. I’ve found that getting one good leaping fish picture in a dozen tries is a tough day’s work* and worth all of the patience and per severance you can muster. The surprise element is ever present, for you will never know what you have captured until the negative Is developed. Once you have succeeded in filming leaping fish all by them selves, try branching out to work both fish and fisherman in the same scene of action. Because of the large lens opening and fast shutter speed—usually 1/500 to 1/1000 second is necessary to freeze the leap—both angler and fish must be approximately in the same plane. In other words, if the fish leaps between the camera and fisherman, and focus Is sharp on the fish, chances are the ang ler will be out of focus. And vice versa. Another ambitious project is to try filming close-ups in color or black-and-white of the various species of fish you can catch. On the bigger lunkers, come in close for striking head portraits show ing the bulging eyes and powerful jaws. If you want to brighten up your outdoor fishing scenes, use a yel low filter with black-and-white film to enhance any clouds in the sky and give your prints more snap. v • And watch your backgrounds. Contrast a light subject with a dark background, and dark against light. Mottled backdrops of trees and rocks are confusing; shooting from a low angle will silhouette your subject nicely against the sky. BOYS ARE THAT WAY No one else is quite like a pal of boyhood. And we had ’em for sure in the Stone Hills where I came up. Yes, folks meant a lot then. For that’s about all we had. The rest was the untamed and rugged hills and vales forming the V made there by the confluence of the two rivers, Broad and Saluda. We always had us’ two or three special buddies, some white and some black. And they didn't change much, except when one moved away across the creek or somewhere. But that was very seldom, as the Dutch Worker stay ed pretty well to his brier patch. .1 believe I recall with fondest memory fny favorite Colored play mates. Most kids were rather good then, but they were geniune- ly so. They would do anything for us and we for them. They have largely drifted from my know ledge and gone from the Fork. I’d Sure like to see Zeke (my favor ite) and Chlke, and Fawly, and Green. And then there was Hen ry. He was from a large family. One day I asked him where they all slept. He said, “Us got 5 beds. a cradle, and a crotch (meaning cot).” And then among my white bud dies was, first and foremost, Mar vin. He later lived in Columbia, did all right, and died a few years ago.. My, the happy hours, weeks, and years we had together during the carefree days of boyhood! I could write a book about me dnd Zeke and Marvin. And then there were Mike and Wilbur and Jack and Case, and Harold and Louie too, who came to' our school from across the creek. If we could get together now, I’ll bet we woifld never quit talking. In the after years we make new friends as we go along, adult friends. And they too are good. But they are never quite like those we had back in our shirttail days, when we swam naked in the creek, feasted on the wild bounty of the woods, beat out of every thing we could that resembled work, and suffered together with starched blouses and shoes on at church on Sundays.
