Paysinger, Distributor TINKER McCOY By James D. Harsh T INKER McCOY was quick to remember the face of Buck Waters on the “wanted” poster in front of Sheriff Mace Collins’ office. A violent hate took hold of the giant blacksmith. He re membered the lean drifter with the tight lips and the pigeon-toed walk from a scuffle up Flint Ridge some four months past. Tinker was remembering how Buck had gunned his best friend, Clay Man ners. Clay had stood with his hands in his pockets and had taken the lead without having a chance to draw. Toward nightfall a light rain, kicked up by an unusual wind, set the air and ground cool. He turned to go inside and close up shop when he felt the cold barrel of a .45 jammed against his back. Then the man spoke and Tinker remem bered Buck Waters’ whiney voice. “Don’t turn around or I’ll phig you,” he moved deeper into the shadows. “My horse throwed a shoe and she’s foot sore.” Buck was breathing hard like he was scared of something he couldn’t see. “I’ll be needing a new shoe. And make it snappy!” “One dollar, my friend,” Tinker said after ne had driven the last nail into place. “It’s on the house when I’m hold ing the gun, stupid.” Buck said. Then he turned and topped his horse. He rode out of town fast, like he was running from the. devil. Tonight the ground was damp and there was only the faint sound of the horse’s hooves hitting against the sodden earth. Sunlight came early to Clear Creek. By the time the rays of light had fully spread over the country Tinker was in the back room of' the sheriff’s office. He shook the sleep from Mace Col lins. “Had a customer last night, Mace.” The sheriff was still half asleep. “It was Buck Waters.” “Tarnation, man, where is he?” Collins was on his feet and al ready pulling on his< boots. “I reckon he’s somewhere be tween here and the Lobos range. If we ride this morning I figure we can hunt him down.” “There’s a heap of range be tween here and the Lobos,” Mace Collins said. “You should of grabbed him last night.” “Not when he’s holding a .45 like a hot coal. I remember what he did to Clay,” Tinker said. “Just follow me.” i f' Sheriff Collins followed Tinker without asking any more questions. Toward mid afternoon, after mak ing the river crossing, they climbed up a narrow trail. “This is about the end of the trail, Mace.” “Well, if you ask me, I see noth ing but . . .” Then Mace saw the blue line of smoke rising above the brush. “Well, what do you know. Waters?” He asked placing his hand along his gun belt. “I figure as much,” replied Tink er dismounting and moving closer to the smoke, the sheriff close be hind. When Tinker crashed the door , of the shack Buck Waters was sprawled on the cot. his gun belt strapped across the chair on the other side of the room. Big Tink er lunged, thinking all the time what a foolish spot for Buck to leave his only means of protection. Tinker's fist landed squarely against Bucks face and the fight was over. The three rode back to town and the sheriff was saying, “Got to take my hat off to you. Tinker. I guess a big man’s got a big brain.” “You can thank Waters for ev erything, Mace. Last night when he told me to take the lead out I just figured I’d leave the lead in, so to speak. I put a much heavier shoe on the horse’s right front hoof, and made the heels a little longer than the other three. In the ground that had just been soaked it stood out from the rest of the shoes. Then I just tracked him down until we came to the shack. Can’t see that it took too much brains, Mace. It just took a feeling of hatred for a no good sidewinder and a few tricks of the trade.” FARMS AND FOLKS By J. M. ELEAZER Clemaon Extenalon Information Special let MORE FROM LESS Our population is increasing In this country by 7000 a day. But the number of farmers is decreas ing by 1000 a day. Yet we 1 still grow plenty of stuff to fedd and clothe the folks, export a lot and often build up surpluses that hurt. That hardly makes sense. Yet it is true. A tribute to the effi ciency of the American farm. Look on the world map. The United States is small. You can cover it with a hand. Yet earth’s greatest abundance comes from that little area. Efficiency on tne farms! We have a marked degree of tthat. Yet there are miles of room for im provement yet. Once we just ex tended the fields onto new lands to get the growing needs. There are very few frontiers left there. Now it must come from what we have, by increased yields, if ab undance is to linger here. As time goes on, science is more and more in the saddle .with us. Let the plant breeder or the ex periment station find out some thing new. It is not long in get ting demonstrated in the field by the County Agents. And from there it Is soon a part of farm routine, and we move on to new conquests that science brings. And that’s how fewer and fewer American farmers are constantly coming up with greater and great er total productions of food and fiber. Yes, with science in the saddle, that can be done. And we have no where nearly reached the limits yet. Look at supplementary irri gation! There lies a whole new world for us to conquer here in the rainfall belt. I tell you of farmer-experiehce with It often. In that undeveloped potential lies the hope for fulfillment of a goodly portion of our growing needs for generations to come. Farmers are beginning to embrace it right along, experiments are pointing the way, and the outlook there is good. THE WIND I was crossing the street in down town Columbia the other day. A gust of wind took my hat for a ride. I ran after it a piece, and it just kept tantalizingly a- head of me. Eventually it came to rest. As I stooped to pick it up another gust took it a bit further and it landed in the swirling ac cumulation of debris in an open alley. Wind is a mystery. It had been a still day. I wondered where that gust had come from. And, yes, where it went. You can feel it but -you can't see it. Then, on another Spring day, it was very still and hot. I saw the clouds drifting in from the West. A dark funnel formed and I could see a tapering tail whipping to wards earth. It touched along a few miles from where I stood. In a few minutes I was there and saw the havoc that the tornado had wrought to farms and villages —killing several people and doing great damage to crops and build- inges. I wondered then, and still do. Where did that whirling wind get its irrestible force from? It had laid its wake of havoc through dense swamps and fertile farm lands for many miles before it reached our section. What cons tantly renewed its power? Written explanations don’t quite seem to satisfy me. Guess I’m just too dense to get it. Invisible power, irresistible, on the loose, a terri fying thing! It goes. And all is serene again. Where did it go? Yes, and where did it come from? ROOT KNOT Has your garden got to where it won’t grow vegetables on ac count of root knot. Many have. We used to have to abandon them when that happened and put the garden somewhere else. But not so now. Science has developed materials with which we can treat the soil and kill nematodes out of It. At first it was so expensive as to be used only on gardens. But now It has gone to the field. On tobacco lands it hts found its greatest use. ■County Agent King of Marion told me the farmers there used it by the carload the past season, and our tobacco agent, J. M. Lewis says about half of the tobacco land in the state was treated against root knot back in early spring. The cost has come from $40 per they are treating some sweet pota- acre down tto $12 and $15. And to land too. King told me. Our man Hugh Bowers is testing that out on sweet potatoes.

Manta1 and Social Hyjlana Soolaty Puman Onlraralty Offloaa Oraafrrllla, South Carolina PARENTS AND THE RETARDED CHILD What can parents do about the “slow” child, having detected htr deficiency early? This calls for ahnost insuperable courage, and jet sentimentality, fear, or un willingness to admit the limitations of a child can be fatal to his fu ture i development. Over-protec tion can only cripple him further. Often parents bury their feel ings inside, refusing to talk about the child, pretending thdt the problem doesn’t exist. They should talk of it freely to each other, get ting the load off their chests and supporting each other in their in terest in and plans for the child. But such talk must never be in the presence of the child no mat ter how unaware he may seem. Such statements as “poor little thing; never will have good sense,” will be remembered by the child, as he will “catch” the pity ing attitude if it is shown. Such feelings may result in serious emotional hurt, and in unmanage able resentment and bitterness later. FOOD HABITS Most retarded children need bxt tra nutrition even when they ap pear strong, since they tend to de plete energy more rapidly than other children, and since build ing resistence to illness is a vital factor in their continued develop ment. The family physician should be consulted as to special dietary needs. What is needed is not quan tity so much as quality. An over loaded digestive tract leads to obesity, common among retarded children, antjl contributes to men tal sluggishness. Appetite control can be attained by regular feeding cf small portions of nutritious foods, with no food of any kind given between meals. The retard ed ch)ld should be placed on solid foods as nearly as possible at the natural time for such a transition, because if permitted to go beyond that period he may resist learn ing to chew. Peace of mind and patience at meal times are even more essential to this child than the average. PLAY ACTIVITY Any sign of mental alertness in MISS JAPAN . . .

The object of his attention should be chang ed occasionally, and there should be periods without any toy so that he may develop powers of general observation and awareness. Those who work intensively with retarded children feel that some forms of play which are wonder ful for average children should be omitted or postponed. The out standing example is play with dolls. The problem arises out of the tendency for play with dolls to become obsessional and exclu sive. All the emotions come to center upon the doll and the child feels insecure and unhappy with out it. Satisfied, he has little in terest in exploring other means of entertaining himself and furth er growth is thwarted. These authorities feel that the earliest play for a backward child should be manipulative, re- 4th of July BARBECUE AT STAND TO THE REAR OF LAYTON BROS.

For the first three years block building, sand, and clay construction should fol low the usual babyhood activities of feeling, touching, and shaking beads and rattles. Toy animals can be added, although the child may be inclined to become exclu sive with them too, and dolls can be cautiously introduced after a variety of activities and skills have been established. Just as with -^the average child, sex play should be ignored or other pleasurable activities intro duced to distract him. Correction here simply makes a problem of a natural, and harmless pastime. Of particular importance is the tendency to uneven development. The child’s physical development may be too rapid for the mental powers of control to keep up. Again, the mental capabilities may seem to spurt ahead and he tries to do things 'that incomplete physical development prohibits. Parental awareness and guid ance are necessary, and yet the child must be kept from thinking of the parents as guiding him. He needs love and affection Just as any other child, but no more than that. Sentimental indulgence is not good for the physically or men tally handicapped child. He should learn from the beginning that temper tantrums and other “fits” do not produce the results he desires. Completely ignoring him on such occasions will convince him that this is a useless way of behaving. Punishment confines misbehavior as a way of getting attention. Every effort is aimed at build ing into his physical end emotional structure two traits necessary to any degree of accomplishment in daily living — self-control and self-discipline.
