SHADE FOR HOGS . . . Many farmers need to provide shade for
their bogs, but do not want to go to great expense. The structure
above is inexpensive and adequate. It can be made from old
barrels, woven wire, and four posts. Straw or hay can be used to
cover wire. The four posts anchor the hog shade.

Labor Day Races At
Darlington Monday
DARLINGTON—The 75 starting
positions in the fourth annual
“Southern 500’’ mile race for late-
model strictly stock cars on Labor
Day, Monday, September 7, will be
filled in the four days of time
trials starting Tuesday, Sept. 1
and continuing through Friday.
The qualifying trials will be held
daily from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Nine of the top 10 drivers in
the Grand National Circuit point
standings heads a list of 60 en
tries filed before Monday’s dead
line for the 500-mile classic the
largest race in the world for stock
cars. A complete field of 75
drivers is anticipated to get the
starters green flag labor day in
quest of the $27,657.25 purse. All
drivers entering after -the dead
line will not receive credit for
points in the NASCAR national
standings.
Defending champion F o n t y
Flock of Decatur, Ga., and nation
al point leader Herb Thomas of
Olivia, N. C., will be seeking to
become the first two-time winner
of the event. Thomas rode off with
honors in 1951. Both Flock and
Thomas will be driving 1953 Hud
sons, unless the ’54 models are
available by race time.
The other high-ranking Grand
National drivers within striking
distance of the national champion
ship with a “Southern 500” vic
tory are: Dick Rathman, Daytona
Beach, Fla., 1953 Hudson; Lee
Petty, Randleman, N. C., 1953
Dodge; Defending champion Tim
Flock, Atlanta, Ga., 1953 Hudson;
Buck Baker, Charlotte, N. C., 1953
Oldsmobile; Joe Eubanks, Spar
tanburg, 1952 Hudson; Slick

Va., 1953 Chevrolet; Lloyd Hulet-
te, Cincinnati, Ohio, 1953 Buick;
Glenn Wood, Stuart, Va., 1953
Lincoln; Gober Sosebee, Atlanta,
Ga., 1953 Olds; Cotton Owens,
Spartanburg, 1953 Hudson; Ned
Jarret, Newton, N. C., 1951 Ford;
Otis Martin, Martinsville, Va.,
1953 Chrysler.
Speculation is mounting as to
what type automobile will win the
500-mile grind on the enlarged
mile and a. half track—one of the
finest automotive proving grounds
in the country. Three different
type cars have scored victories in
previous years. A 1950 Plymouth,
driven by Johnny Mantz, Long
Beach, Calif., captured the in
augural race. Thomas steered ’ a
Hudson to victory the following
year and Flock won in a 1952 Olds
last year. Thomas’ average speed
of 76.90 miles per hour is the
present track record.
Flock set the , tempo of the
speeds expected here Labor Day
when he averaged 115.68 m.p.h. in
a 1953 Hudson on a two-lap prac
tice run last week. Fonty has de
cided to switch his allegiance to
the Hudson this year. The car is
owned by Red Vogt of Atlanta, Ga.
Flock’s speed bettered the 115.14
m.p.h. registered by Buck Baker
in a ’53 Olds here July 4th.

the Newberry Soil Conservation
District, is giving his Coastal Ber
muda extra attention to increase
the size of his nursery patch.
Mr. Senn recently received
several bushels of stolons from
the Soil Conservation Nursery and
planted them in a small nursery
on his farm to produce sprigs for
field plantings. In order to speed
the* spread of the Bermuda, he
pulled off some of the runners and
planted them in small furrows.
The middle of each runner was
covered with each end left un
covered.
Mr. Senn reports a good sur
vival of runners planted in this
way.
A total of 240 bushes of Coastal
Bermuda stolons have been allot
ted to farmers in Newberry county
by the Soil Conservation Service
Nursery this summer. Other farm
ers who planted some of this grass
with sprigs received from “this
grass are: D. B. Sease, George
Young, H. O. Long, R. C. Neel,
Dave Waldrop, T. O. Stewart, S.

Is It Envy?
Although no one has taken the
trouble to explain, it has been wide
ly known tn golf circles for some
time that Lloyd Mangrnm does not
like Ben Hogan. This fact was
more than evident in Mangrnm’s
latest statement regarding Hogan.
Said Mangrnm: It makes me “a
little ill” to read all the publicity
on Hogan. “Sure he’s a good play
er but all that stuff about him be
ing the greatest golfer that ever
lifted r. cinb is a lot of bunk. Why,
if he played the tour with the rest
of ns he wouldn’t do any better
than a half dosen men.” Could it
be envy on Mangrum’s part? . .
Tom Fool’s eight length breeze In
the Wilson Mile added $16,350 to
his winnings and makes him the
tenth on the list of the world’s
money winning horses. He has now
earned $485,515 to displace Battle-

earned $474,727 in his racing ca-
“WORLD” GOLF CHAMP . . .
Golfing’s richest prize, $254100,
went to Lew Worsham, shown
grinning with joy, when he sank

final green in “World” meet at
Chicago's Tam O’Shanter Club.
Lew’s 278 score beat Chandler
Harper by one stroke.
