FARMS AND FOLKS By J. M. ELEAZER Clemson Extension Information Specialist CORN WAS “FIRING” Something bad was happening to corn at many places over the state in late July and early August. Folks said “it was fir ing up.” And it was. But that’s just another name for starvation, starving for water! At many a place over the state corn grew off fine in the spring. There was the early promise of a bumper harvest. But, alas, as so often happens, one of our six aver age yearly droughts struck it. Then many a promising field of corn took on a sickly cast. It perished for water there on the very home stretch. And now, this winter daylight will be showing through the cracks of many a crib. Livestock will be whining and squealing for the food that is not there. And hard farm dollars will have to be spent for the things that drought took. Among his othter tribulations, the average farmer usually spends at least half of his time yearning for rain. Rain! The kindly bene diction that only comes in the gentle showers that fall. The Al mighty sends enough water to every acre here to make a bumper crop. But, in his wisdom, he doesn’t make it hit every crop just right. Man is supposed to use his ingenuity in “subduing the earth.” And here and there in the rainfall belt, and specially here in South Carolina, we see folks conserving a bit of that heavenly^ water and using it to rescue their threatened crops when drought strikes. In our progress .with irrigation here, we naturally have more of it this year than before. I’ll be tell ing you of results a lot later on, when the county agents get the yields from their demonstrations. FROZEN BREAD Bread keeps well in a freezer. We’ve tried it. After days or weeks it comes out about as fresh as it went in. Clemson’s Van Bladicom sug gests that ladies freeze the loaves from which they plan to make those fancy party sandwiches that have no crust. Frozen, you can trim the crust off easily and evenly. KILLING FLIES With some of the new poisons, folks really have flies on the jump now. Unless they succeed in de veloping resistance to them, as they did DDT a few years after it had given such good results, we really have that fly problem about licked. Farmers and county agents tell me of good results every where I go. “It really gets ’em, and kills them right now,” is the usual remark. Howard Rawl of Lexington county had talked with Clemson’s Carl Nettles about this problem before he finished here last June. Then out in the summer Mr. Net tles furnished him some of the know your State I The Confederate Relic Room located in South Carolina's State House is filled with guns, uni forms, flags and other memen toes of the Confederacy and earlier wars in which men of the state participated. Open to the public everyday except Sunday, the Room welcomes thousands of visitors yearly. In the historically-rich state of South Carolina, the United States Brewers Foundation Div ision Office works constantly to encourage maintenance of whole some conditions wherever beer and ale are sold. As in other states, the program calls for close co operation between law-enforce ment officers and beer licensees throughout South Carolina. Beer belongs . . . enjoy it. United States Brewers Foundation South Carolinp Div., Columbia, S.C i>oo*: The beverage of moderation new poison, Dilan, to try out against flies. Howard reports, “satisfactory results” from its use. Mr. Rawl then tells of a very practical way in which he had killed flies with another of the ap proved poisons, TEPP. He mixed it with molases, as directed, and soaked old sacks in it. Then he hung these up at suitable places. After noting results he said, “Once the flies light on the bag, they are killed almost instantly.” Full details for handling these poisons in killing flies are avail able there in your county from your county agent. REAL TIMBER Back in the summer I stood in one of the redwood forests in northern California for a long time, just marveling at those gaints that stood all around me. A forest ranger happened to be there. I asked him how many board feet of lumber they con tained. He pointed to one they had scaled sometime ago so they would answer such questions. It had 230,000 board feet in it! That stand we were in there had some thing ovfcr one million board feet per acre. The tallest one there w r as 364 feet, and it was 200 feet up to its first limb. They run to well over 20 feet across the stump and weigh over 2,000 tons. Cutting them is quite a problem, as their great weight often breaks them all up when they fall. They occur along the northern California coast area in a belt about 25 miles wide and 450 miles long. Vast areas have been wantonly cut. But over a million acres of virgin red woods remain. Out of this, 65,- 000 acres are preserved in public parks. The redwoods! The greatest sight I’ve ever beheld. \V Iss BY HELEN HALE T AKE it easy while the weather la warm in preparing your meals, and you’ll probably come out better in providing your family with wholesome meals they’ll be glad to eat Here are some sug gestions.

The old tumbled-down house was still there when we were kids. But broom straw had sprung up all over the field around the house and virgin pine timber grew in the woods. One fall my mother sent Zeke and me back there to cut her some broom straw. Although we didn’t like the work involved, we liked to go back in that lonely wild erness. We followed the little-used path that led through the woodland and into the opening where the straw grew. But before we cut a stalk of straw, we had to explore the place first. We saw the evidence of many rabbits, and their paths led through the tall broomsedge. Following one, it led to a gnarled old apple tree there? on a terrace bank. Its late -apples had finished falling, and there were some good ones on the ground that the rab bits hadn’t found. We ate first. Then each of us cut a large bundle of broom straw. We tied it with bullice vines, good and secure, so we could tote it. Then we returned to the old ap ple tree and picked up about a i peck apiece. Most of them had | rotten spots on ’em. But still there was a lot of good eatin’ in ’em. We tied our overall suspenders around our waists like a belt, and then filled our shorts with apples until we stood away out just above the waist. Shouldering the straw then, we were off on the trek home. We took a short-cut home and ran across a honey locust tree loaded with their coveted pods. We looked them over carefully. But they were just not ripe enough to eat. So we just mark* ed the spot in memory and return ed later foi- many a feast. Call us for your dry cleaning needs.
