FARMS AND FOLKS
. By J. M. ELEAZER
Clemson Extension Information Spoolallst
Irrigation sure paid where used
right last year.
At the Georgia Experiment Sta
tion they made 742 pounds of seed
cotton per acre without it and
2534 pounds of seed cotton per
acre with irrigation. For the past
four years their average gain from
irrigation has been 657 pounds of
seed cotton.
Clemson’s Lynn had an irriga-
tiph test with cotton on the farm
of Stewart Laney of Chesterfield
county. Two irrigations there,
totaling 3 inches of water, on
July 2 and 9 gave over three times
as much cotton as where it was
not Irrigated there in a large uni
form field The five acres irrigat
ed made 10,560 pounds of seed
cotton, while the unirrigated 5
acres by It made 3,375 pounds of
seed cotton.
On the W. D. Willis farm in
Florence county, irrigated sweet
potatoes made 127 bushels of No.
1 potatoes against 63 bushels
made without it. Those potatoes
netted $5.75 per bushel. Thus ir
rigation made him $368 per acre
additional in potatoes.
And so the story goes.
Yes, last year was a very dry
one. But our average of about
6 droughts a year hardly ever
lets a crop get by without a need
for more water.
And, folks, this thing is spread
ing. I know the county agent
out at Springfield, Missouri. He
writes me, ‘Tt is unbelievable
some of the things we are getting
from irrigation. Three tons of
hay per acre in 5 weeks from seed
ing, over 100 bushels of corn, and
wonderful grazing all summer
through.” I plan to go out there
and rid® with him in July. Will
be telling you about it.
IMPROVE MAIL BOX
The colored home demonsrta-
tion agent of Union county re
ports good results from their
campaign to “Improve Your Mall
Box.” Home demonstration wo
men and 4-H clubsters took part
in it.
I see signs of that at other
places over the state too. Neat
name plates on the boxes, and
flowers growing around them;
these are some of the things I’ve
noticed.
8ERICEA LESPEDEZA
Clifford Smith, down in New
berry county, has built his farm
up to a show place of good grass
land farming since he finished
Clemson in 1928.
He has a large herd of fine Jer
sey cattle and also a beef cattle
herd. Says they work all right
on the same farm. He always
plans for plenty of lush grazing
for his dairy herd. And when you
have that, you will always have
areas that get tough and need
cutting off, or low-grade rough-
ages not suited to high-producing
dairy cattle, but OK for beef cat
tle, he says.
In addition to grazing, he also
feeds hay . and silage most of the
time. And he has jnst about all of
the types of grazing that are in
the book. In showing us his
[1 REMEMBER”
BY THE OLD TIMERS
From Mrs. Clara Mattingly,
Louisville, Ky.: I remember when
ice cream was sold from wagons
(horse drawn) along the streets of
Louisville. It was in bulk and we
would take a bowl to the wagon and
get it filled for a quarter. Also,
the waffle man would drive along
the street, making and selling hot
waffles, generously sprinkled with
sugar and cinnamon; or just plain
powdered sugar. The waffle man
had a stove in the wagon on which
he cooked the waffles. And I re
member, too, when men and boys
would rise and give women a seat
in public conveyances.
mmm
From C. O- James, Columbia,
Louisiana: I well remember when
mother made father’s pants, as
well as the boys’, without a pat
tern. She sewed the suspenders,
without an adjustment, to the pants
in one length. I also remember
when coffee mills were so scarce
that if one family In a settlement
owned one, it was made available
to the entire community.
sericea lespedeza, he said: “Here
is the most underrated plant we
have. And it is the poor man’s
irrigation.” Then he told of how
it carried his stock during the
record drought of last summer. He
said it had to be managed right.
And by that, he said, “Don’t let
it get tough.” If your cattle can’t
keep it down, get* the mowing ma
chine out and make hay.
He believes in fertilizer to all
crops. “Tell him to use 600 pounds
and he’ll use 800,” says County
Agent Ezell.
On an early spring day, I know
of no more beautiful avenue than
the main street of Manning, com
ing in from Sumter. The great
oaks, draped with wisteria, arch
the wide street. The substantial
old southern homes are placed
far enough apart back to give
them individuality and wide yards,
in which a profusion of azaleas,
camellia^, and dogwood bloom.
And not only that, but in those
homes live a kindly and cultured
people that you don’t find just
anywhere.

BOYS ARE
THAT WAY
By J. M. ELEAZER
They were never stilts to us.
They were “Tom Walkers.” And
we didn’t know what a stilt wfes.
We cut them from the dogwood
Cured, they were tougher and
stronger and the stub of a limb
left for the foot wouldn’t spli
off easy,
valued ’em.
But for us, Tom Walkers were
playthings for the spring, sum
mer, and fall. Never for the winter.
For we had shoes on then. And
they would ruin your shoes at the
instep. So our folks really read
the law to us about that We
couldn’t get by with it .either. For
they left their unmistakable marks
on a shoe.
We would run races on them
And walk through briers, thorns,
and water with ’em. That was
fun for sure.
We tried tying the handles to
our legs so our hands would be
free. We thought that’d be fun.
Like riding a bike without hold
ing the handlebars, you know. But
that never worked for us. We’d
fall off. Or the things would slip
from our feet when we raised
them to take a step. It took that
pull on the walker by the hand
to keep it secure against the foot.
We got proficient in walking
on those things. We should. For
hours on end, we walked no other
way. We often had high ones.
Some we had to get on from the
cellar or well sheds. But they
were rather unwieldy and we
didn't use them much. The^ sort
we liked .best and could really
cavort around on were a foot to
8 inches high.
We liked short handles best
too. Some of the kids used long
handles, doubling their forearms
back and holding them by the top.
But the best way was to keep your
arms straight down, gripping the
handles. In that way .you could
keep them pulled tight against
your feet and control them best.
Most of us have high insteps
still. I wonder if those Tom
Walkers didn’t have something to
do with that. For they sure press
ed up right at that spot.

CUBEE ADJUSTS
Last week we were telling you
of Cubee, an eleven year old boy
who was committed to a state hos
tile foot wouldn’t split!pital, supposedly a mental de-
We cured ’em, ana]ficient .arid incorrigible. An un
derstanding minister studying
counseling in the hospital had
won his friendship, and gained
permission to take him down town
alone in spite of the fact that
he was “a run-a-way.”
They went to the general store
and the minister said, “I’d like to
set us up. You name it while I
decide what I want.” "What can
1 have?” “Any one thing you
want.” “Anything in the whole
store?”—his eyes wide with mix
ed distrust and desire. He began
as for things to be handed tb him
for examination—a toy gun, cow
boy suit, box of cigars, carton of
beer—all the while “eyeing” the
minister, as the latter clutched
the only fifty cents he had. After
twety minutes of choosig, Cubee
said, “One of them ice cream
cones . . . and Mister, can he put
two scoops on?”
Broken Home
As a child of two the father
lad deserted Cubee and his mother.
He tried to love her hut she was
litter and often cruel, chasing him
nto the woods when the men came;
men he hated with murderous in
tent, even as he hated the desert-
rig father. But then, maybe dad
eft because mother was bad.
Inquiring of neighbors he learn
ed of the mill where the dad
worked and went there, sleeping
n culverts at night. When he saw
his dad at a distance he was
overwhelmed with joyous anticipa
tion, only to be “cussed and sock
ed for running away,” and told
that “Mary” and he didn’t have
room for a kid. Cubee was placed
on the bus without so much as a
kind word or a meal.

They then become permanent
residents of an institution for the
mentally deficient, unloaded on
the state hospital because of no
other available space, or become
inmates of a penitentiary.
South Carolina Needs
There is a tremendous need for
continued research in this field,
but already we know far more
than is being applied in either
private or state institutions.
The past General Assembly ap
propriated a quarter of a million
dollars for construction of a unit
of the State Training School for
Neg^o mental deficients, a project
long since due. Now it remains
to build and staff this school for
adequate care and training. Some
additional funds have been made
available for enlarging the white
unit at Clinton.
Religious and private groups
have been slow in developing
facilities for the retarted child.
South Carolina well could support
one or more such private facilities.
This Society has little interest in
mere custody, but would be very
interested in seeing a progressive
school established by private
persons, and would aid in finding:
a staff. It would be a paying
business, since many parents
could afford adequate care and
training for children who are too
retarded to remain at home, at
least until they develop further.
For people of average finances
some religious or service group
must provide facilities, or It re
mains a function solely of the
state. Only an interested public
will see these youngsters saved'
for lives of usefulness and enjoy
ment

From that day at six years of
age, he had refused to respond
positively to any adult gesture,
had hated every woman as a
symbol of his despised mother and
had fantasied killing every man
who had authority over him. Un-
oved and rejected from the be
ginning, and repeatedly hurt, he
could only build a shell about him
self and from within its walls
fight back at anyone who came
near.
Is Loved—Can Love
Now that he had experienced
loving acceptance, gradually he
became trusting of others. The
minister and social worker of the
hospital found a splendid farm
couple whose only child had died,
and arranged for a visit So
fascinated was Cubee with the
animals, the freedom, the loving
care, that he wanted to stay. They
begged for him, and after careful
study a trial placement was ar
ranged. Under their tutelage soon
he was able to enter school only
slightly behind children of his
own age.
We tell you this story to intro
duce the subject of “retarded
children,” about which a great
deal needs to be said. Facilities
are so few and inadequate that
many children, such as this one
for emotional reasons and others
who are retarded for physical rea
sons, go undetected and unaided
until it is too late.

Judge Pontiac purely from the standpoint of quality and it*s
hard to believe that It is actually a low-priced car. Certainly it’s as
distinctively styled as any car on the road—and its beauty carries
through into its luxurious, roomy Body by Fisher. Performance-
wise, Pontiac is second to none, with power to spare that whisks
you through city traffic or cruises with remarkable economy. And
Pontiac is a big car, with a long, 122-inch wheelbase.
But Pontiac’s outstanding feature is its price—a. price so low that
if you can'afford any new car you can afford a Pontiac. Come in and
get the facts that prove that dollar for dollar you can’t beat a Pontiac!
