The Little League
Little League baseball has gained
wide popularity in the past few
years. Originating in the east, it
has spread to all parts of the coun
try—and the 1953 season is said
t« be the best on record, with more
teams and youngsters participating
than ever before. The ’53 season
came to a close with the Little
League World Series at Williams
port, Pa. Birmingham won the se
ries with their star pitcher allow
ing only two hits in the final game

Native Dancer has added two stake
races to his record since the last
report in this column, making his
record 18 victories in 19 starts . . .
A fickle filly named Helicopter,
Who won only four of 21 starts last
year, won the Hambletonian. She
was driven by Harry Harvey, 29,
the youngest winning driver in the
classic’s history. The purse of $63,-
126 was also the biggest in Hamble
tonian history.

BOYS ARE
THAT WAY
By J. M. ELEAZER
In the old one-teacher country
schools they generally had men as
teachers. For that was a man-
sized job. Kids went late theij,
for few, if any, went off to col
lege. We had ’em in ours all the
way from 6 to 21 years of age.
Those men were stern discipli
narians, and their tough hickory
switch always stood up there in
the corner back of them. It was
not there just for ornamental pur
poses either. When school turned
out at four, if a name or two was
read out to remain, we knew what
that meant. And we could hear
the victim yelling out when their
turns came, as we walked away
down the path. Often the chastised
one would catch up with laughing
and saying he yelled so loud the
teacher must have thought he was
killing him. Yet it hadn’t hurt a
bit. For it took a real sure enough
switching to hurt much through
those tough homemade jeans
pants we wore. *
We were never switched much
at home. But we used that same
tactic there. By yelling like all
forty we felt we could get sym
pathy. Or at least a lighter beat
ing, which was true. They didn't
want the neighbors to hear and
would quit early so we’d shut up.
In the realm of child rearing
now, many folks do not believe in
corporal punishment. But, having
been a boy, I believe there is a
time in most kids’ lives when
reason, persuasion, nor anything
else works very well. It is then
that the primative fear of being
hurt is about all that matters. Or
at least it now appears to me that
this is about all that kept us from
going plumb wild.

DACKING a lunch f Consider it
* carefully when you plan the con
tents of the lunch box. as well as
how they’ll look and taste several
hours later!
Hit the spot with something hot
by putting soup into s thermos
bottle, or, for variety, some hot
cocoa or coffee. Use a wide funnel
to make bottle filling easy.
Most lunch box foods are soft,
so pack something which is crisp
and nibbly. Choose from celery,
radishes, green pepper or cucum
ber strips, lettuce, pickles, crack
ers or a handful of peanuts.
Soggy lettuce doesn’t taste good
in sandwiches. Why not pack it sep
arately in a plastic container or

My, the ups and downs of truck
farming!
Last year I saw acres of trucks
lined up at the potato packing
sheds of the Low Country, begging
for potatoes, and taking every
thing without question that look
ed like a potato. That was a joyful
experience, to see the world real
ly wanting what the farmer had.
During the potato harvest this
year I went back down there. Few
trucks were there, and they were
rather indifferent as to potatoes.
Only the choicest tubers sold at
all. And beautiful B grade potatoes
were moving very slow at 50 cents
a 100 pounds. The sack cost 15 of
that and the other 35c went for
washing and grading. In that
case, the farmer got exactly noth
ing for growing, digging, and haul
ing them to market.
On top of that, late cold and
drought had greatly cut the local
potato crop. And Irish potatoes
for 1953 became a sad story along
our Coastal Country.
But let’s walk over to the sheds
there that were grading and pack
ing two other truck crops that
came off at the same time as the
potatoes. Cukes were selling as
high as $10 a bushel and tomatoes
almost as high. But the joker in
that was, the same late cold, ex
cessive May heat, and drought had
cut their production to a mere
trickle. However, a few folks had
brought the kindly benediction of
the man-made shower to their
acres. And theirs was a golden
harvest. Yes, irrigation had saved
'em.
I well remember when the flu
scourage of the winter of 1917-18
hit. Funeral homes could hardly
handle the business and doctors
wore themselves out. Florists
could nothing like supply the de
mand for flowers, and many
graves were lightly marked in this
respect. My mother had a short
row of 'chrysanthemums in the
garden. She sold $38 worth of
fldwers from it to a Columbia
florist. That was an unheard-of
windfall of money back then. Next
year she planted a long row, and
could not sell a flower.
And so it goes. That’s one good
thing about cotton. It will keep
forever. And the price always
comes back. But in the past it
has been our only crop. We had
to sell it, no matter what the
market was. But, thanks be, that’s
changing. With the diversification
that’s growing, more and more
farmers can run their farms with
something else, leaving cotton the
“clean surplus” that Henry Grady
dreamed about in his day.
GOODBYE FLIES
That is, if they don’t develop
immunity, as they did after a
while to DDT.
County agents and farmers alike
sing the praises of some of the
new fly killers. Listen to County
Agent King of Dorchester:
“Demonstrations in. the control
of house flies in dairy barns with
TEPP bait have given the most
striking and remarkable results
of any demonstrations ever con
ducted by the agent. Demonstra
tions were conducted in all dairies
in the county. By the use of this
bait on empty feed sacks in feed
rooms, flies were killed by shovel-
fulls.”
Your county agent has the de
tails for killing flies on animals
and in buildings.
COUNTY AGENT GRAINGER
OF CLARENDON SAYS:
“Even though cattle prices have
declined greatly from an all-time
high, our down-to-earth, full-time
growers are, as a general rule,
maintaining the size of their
herds, with a few increases here
and there. Those who grew into
the business on a sound, practical
basis, and who developed their
grazing along with their cattle,
will likely continue to find grow
ing cattle profitable.”
much daylight shining through the
cracks in the cribs and bins of
the state. And, my, what mean
ing all of that has in terms of
beef cattle, dairying, hogs, turk
eys, and poultry in the state^ The
plant breeders have given us bet-
j ter sorts. The county agents dem
onstrate ’em in the field, applying
better methods. They are adopted.
And there we go! '

This year we averaged 31
bushels of oats per acre in South
Carolina. That’s 50 percent above
what it averaged 20 years ago.
This year we averaged 19.5
bushels of wheat per acre. The
year before it was 20. That’s twice
what we averaged 20 years ago.
Not only have our yields of
grain gone up drastically, but our
acreage is away up too. Now
folks, when we up both yield and
acreage a lot, you won’t see so

W hy just look and sigh—and pass
up so much real automobile?
Why—when this big and beautiful new
Buick Special delivers for the surpris
ingly low price shown here?
Could be you’re one of those folks who
still don’t believe that the price of a
Buick really is just a few dollars more
than that of the so-called "low-priced”
cars.
So here we show our car and price to
prove it.
But beyond that—what you get in this
great Buick, for so small a step-up in
what you pay, is plenty.
More power. Fireball 8 power. The
highest horsepower and compression
ratio ever placed in a Buick Special.
More room. Real six-passenger room
—even by man-size measurement.
More comfort. The solid comfort of
Buick’s Million Dollar Ride—with coil
spring cushioning on all four wheels,
wide-tread stability, torque-tube
steadiness.
More pleasure. The pleasure of high
visibility, of luxurious fabrics and fit
tings, of superbly easy handling—and
the deep satisfaction of bossing a big
and able and stunningly styled auto
mobile that does you proud wherever
you go.
Why not drop in on us and see things
for yourself?
That way you’ll also learn about the
long list of "extras” you get at no extra
cost in this spirited new 1953 Buick
Special—things that most other cars of
similar price charge for as extras. Can
you make it this week?
