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.

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

a backward child meets with ec
static welcome, and yet practical
means o f stimulating them
through variation of mental activ
ity may be overlooked. 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-

quiring use of the hands and of
the Imagination. 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.
