Many times she had imagined herself married to daddy, as any little girl does unless forbidden. Susan’s mother had played along, permitting herself to be called daughter. Gradually it dawned up on the little girl that the marriage of her parents was permanent, and that make-believe could not dissolve it. For several days she had been irritable and increasingly unco operative. Little brother got too much of mother’s time, and since daddy was away too much for her to have enough of ^ his attention, she resented the special considera tion mother got when he was home. Mother replied, “Now, that’s an idea! Do you think you would really like to marry him?” “Yes, you surely picked a good husband. He can carpenter and do every thing.” They continued talking of his attributes until Susan felt safe enough to proceed. “And that’s really the only way I could ever marry him Isn’t it?” After a brief pause the mother replied, “When would you like this to happen?” Jumping up and down with glee she explained, “Oh mother, you can die right now if you want to.” Drop Dead Did you ever hear a nicer way to say “Why don’t you drop dead?” Many parents would have been horror stricken, and by their atti tude would have driven the bad feelings under ground to fester and to grow. This one replied, "And what would you do if you were married to daddy?” “Oh, we’d go on a picnic and have fun!” The reactions which could have caused further inner pain to a child feeling somewhat threatened l REMEMBER BY TKZ OLD TIMERS From Mrs. Stanley Narbert, Lumberport, W. Va : I remember my grandmother’s “spare” room. The floor was covered with straw matting, so cool and peaceful look ing. Also, Grandmother’s treasured “toilet set,” consisting of a large water pitcher, decorated with im mense red and yellow roses, and a wash bowl to match. • • • From Mr. Iirtand Reas, Cohun- bas, O.: I remember back in 1901 when my father and mother moved from Wayne County, West Vir ginia. in wagons. We arrived at Branchland which was the end of the wagon traiL From there we loaded the furniture on a push boat and moved up-river to Midkiff, W. Va.. which, at that time, was called the mouth of Nine-Mile Creek. The next seven miles to our home we moved by horseback. • • • From Mrs. N. D. Parker, Hughes Springs: I remember when women had to beat dirt from clothes when they washed. We had a “battling block” and a smooth battling stick Children came in handy for this chore. Neighbprs for almost a mile around always knew when it was washday. We used home-made soap made from meat scraps. - • • • From Mrs. Sarah DeLong, Cin cinnati, O: I remember when I was 14 years old. Sam Jones, a great evangelist of the time, held meet ings near our home. Many people were converted. At one of them a lady asked to see him in private and he consented. When he walked into the room he picked up a coat and put ft across her shoulders. She was amazed Than he ex plained that before they started to talk he didn’t want any tempta tions. The lady was wearing a “plunging” neckline dress. Today's styles are not se new altar aft. were turned into an occasion for growth for child and parent in dividually, and in their relation ship to each other, as they now turned to planning the first spring picnic for the whole family, of which mother was to be a very Altai part. Emotional Temoeratures Misbehavior is to inner emo tional stress as a temperature Is to an infection in the body. The infection” behind misbehavior is accumulated bad feelings, feelings that would be relatively harmless if Expressed one by one, but which multiply and grow when buried inside, creating a veritable powder keg of tension. The child pushes these feel ings down inside because of the fear of punishment, or, worse still, because of the terror of being re jected. Any child has aggressions and hostilities growing out of his being smaller than others, whether or not he is mistreated. 1 In fact, if the parents are really good he may hesitate all the more to ex press bad feelings lest they be hurt. When the tension level reaches a certain point. It comes out either in overflowing driblets of mis behavior, or in an emotional ex plosion. In case of the former he may become physically ill, lone his appetite, fail to sleep, or any of a number of other “problems” may develop. Having sensed the “tempera ture,” this mother was alert to the opportunity of spotting the source of difficulty, and of drain ing of? ard socializing the cor' rupting feaings. Understanding love took over, healed the injury, and tnen expressed itself in a right relationship to each other. A good home permits the ex pression inwards of bad feelings as one of the rights of each of its equal members. Next week . . Children.” ’Handicapped Bible Comment: The Explanation Of the Apostle Paul's Conversion TJOW sudden are conversions? It is doubtful that Paul’s conversion was as sudden as it seems to be. In his persecuting zeal, Paul was traveling toward Damascus after leaving the scene of Steph an's martyrdom. For some strange reason he had not been active in that murder but had simply kept watch over the gar ments of those who stoned Stephan to death. The sight of that good man, praying for the forgiveness of his murderers and calling upon Jesus to receive his spirit must have left an impression on Paul which he could not erase. The first effect would be to make him more intense in his persecution of the Christians, kicking against the pricks of conscience and trying to stifle his doubU by becoming all the more furious in his hostility to ward the Christians. But when he was stopped on the road to Damascus, and saw the vision and heard the voice, he knew what it all meant. This was the moment when the light burst through and illuminated his souL But there had been a long period of prep aration in the years of religious education and growth. There was.another period of immedi ate preparation which is seen in the various doubts which arose in his mind as he saw the calm heroism and faith of those he was persecuting. The word "Jesus” had a new meaning for Paul as he heard the voice say: “I am Jesus, whom thou persecutest.” Paul is not the only man to experience this moment of drama in his life. Sincere men have been won over to beliefs which they were studying so that they would be better fitted to attack those beliefs. Much is possible when men are sincere and in earnest. But there is little hope for the man who is too apathetic to have any convictions at all. FARMS AND FOLKS By J. M. ELEAZER Clemaon Extension Information Specialist SOIL TESTING In modern farming, the soil test has an important place. Clemson’s laboratory has been expanded and made strictly up to date. The personnel has been In creased to give farmers of the state the best possible service in this. • County agents and others take soil samples in fields where crops haven’t been doing just right, or fields the farmer wants to know more about before going to the ex pense of putting certain crops there. These are properly taken, properly marked and packed, and sent to Clemson for testing. Tfce leport they get back gives them a good idea then of any shortages or excesses that should be cor rected for the intended crop. The past winter County Agent Johnson of Horry sent many samples from tobacco fields of that county. Most of them show ed soils too sweet for best tobacco production. So he got fertilizer mixers to compound some acid forming tobacco mixtures for them on th°?e lands. The agents over the state have similar tests made for most fields now on which they place crop and grazing demonstrations. This Is specially true with pastures. It costs a good bit to put a pasture in properly. An accurate soil test will help In warding off fail ures and 'insuring success. County agents can show anyone how to take a representative soil sample for testing. NEW LAND Orangeburg has had 5,000 acres of new tillable land added to its total in the past five years. This was reclaimed from the rich swamps by the two land-clearing outfits their Pasture Development Commission has. County Agent McComb Is secretary of this group, and he tells me their two big bull dozer outfits are booked about a year ahead with work. And there are nine privately owned machines working there too. In addition to land clearing for pastures, they are building ponds too, for both fish and Irrigation. 19 having already been bqilt. AROMATIC ACREAGE UP The aromatic or Turkish tobac co acreage in Oconee county has more than doubled this year, ac cording to County Agent Morgan. I asked our man, Don Matheson, In charge of that new crop up there, what accounted for that. He said it was due to a revolutionary saving they and Clemson had worked out on- curing it. Up to now, curing has been the bottle neck. In fact, it was so tedious that a family could grow only a small patch of this high-priced to bacco. The old way was to string the small leaves and cure them in Jhe sun. The new method uses heat and the leaves do not have to be strung. Don kept accurate records on this with his demon strators last year. And they were able to cut harvesting labor to less than a fourth. This year he and G. D. Butler of Greenville, assistant county agents who handle this tobacco work over the upper Piedmont section, have taken on all of the demonstrations they can well handle. During the summer, county agents and agricultural teachers plan to take groups of farmers to see these demon strations so that by next year a greater number can go ahead grow Ing it. Up to the time we start ed working with this type of to bacco in this section, in coopera tion with Duke University and the tobacco companies, all of it had to be imported. It is a necessary part of what goes into the Ameri can cigarette, adding aroma and burning quality. We import close to 100 million pounds of it a year. And it’s worth close to a dollar a pound. So, In this tobacco Clem son sees the possibility of a great new >money crop for the Piedmont area, where it is best suited. Last year our total production bn these demonstrations averaged 91 cents a pound. And a market for it has been established at Anderson. , Clemson’s J. A. Martin Is doing experimental work with the crop here at the college and the need ed breeding work to improve the varieties. BOYS ARE THAT WAY Did I ever tell you about that devilish old mule knocking .the beehive over? It is one of my most indelible memories. It was about the seventh inning of our ball game on Saturday after noon there back of Mr. Ed Shealy’s place at White Rock. Bill Metze had just knocked a needed home run for our side that got lost deep in left field under Mr. Ed’s po tato. vines. There was a wild scene of joy as he trotted across the plate. Just as the crowd was quiet ing down, we heard a great com motion among the mules and horses hitched in Mr. John Rich ardson’s grove about 300 yards up from there. At first we thought they were celebrating Bill’s home run too. But, alas, they weren’t. A mule had been hitched to a limb of an oak tree there near Mr. John’s house. Bending the limb, he had reached across the pick et fence and tilted a beehive over! Right thqn pandemonium broke loose up there. Some of the crit ters had been unhitched from carts, wagons, and buggies. Others hadn’t. But it made little dif ference. Such a neighing, whin nying, kicking, and cavorting you never heard! And mixed in with it all war the occasional crashing of a pair of shafts or vehicle being wrapped around a tree, as the tormented animals fled in all di* rections. One mule was tied se curely with an inch “grass rope” that he could not break. He al most hung himself before his own er got there to cut him loose. They forgot all about the lost ball then, could not find It later, and the game was over, for that^ was the only one they had. We all ran up there to see what the commotion was all about. I hid behind a tree to watch the show, while the older boys waded into the melee to try to rescue their possessions. Soon a mad buzzing bee zoomed around my head and popped me on the ear. That was all for me. I lit out, describing a wide circle down through Rev. Ballentlne’s cane patch. A few of the other small boys followed me. .But they couldn’t keep up. They ‘didn’t* have the urge I had, and tho few inad bees that followed ns were back there with them. Down the path I heard one yell. “Ouch, he got me!” And that boy soon caught up with me. We ran about a mile to Cousin Paul's spring. There we sat down and cooled off. My ear felt numb, was hot to the hand, and .twice its usual size. I don’t think that ball game eve? counted in the records. UN TRUCE WUHam K. CHIEF . Li. Gem. head of UN “Haul me up!
