ELEAZER Clemson Extension Information Specialist PAGE SEVEIf SILOS IN RICHLAND “More silage was put in trench and pit silos the past spring than ever before,” says County Agent Bailey of Richland. Following the * dry summer, those farmers are now sitting pretty. For in most cases the sum mer did not yield much forage. Over the state generally, I note an increase in the making of sil age. Once it was made from corn practically all-together. But now a lot of it is made from grass, yes, the clippings from pastures and from grain. And that’s a lot safer than hay, as Bob Bailey points out. Rains will often come and ruin such succulent hays before they can be cured and housed. But for silage : that stuff can be put in even during a rain. If seasons are right, we can have grazing all the time. But too many things can happen to mar that for a cattleman to try to get along without some stored feed. If you are not prepared to irrigate, drought often takes the grazing you planned to have. Army worms sometimes feet i n it and clean it up before you hardly know it. Such things make it necessary that the cattleman, whether beef or dairy, have some stored feed. And, as our man Cushman points out, silage now is our cheapest stored feed. If you have never made silage, your county agent could help you plan, for it. SUMTER TOUR Sumter county had a memorable farm tour back in the summer. It was a “Better Farm Living Tour.” Over 300 folks joined Couu- 1Agent Bowen and those and ' made the rounds to their four families who received Clemson’s “Better Farm Living” awards for the year. Those were the families of W. T. Atkinson, J. M. Edens, John Pate, and Ed Gulledge. On each of these farms they saw im proved farm and home practices on every side. I was county agent there a long time and know those folks intimately. They are masters of the art of bearing down on the land and making it fruit with the satisfactions of good living. And all of them have built what they have. They dug it out of the ground. Their children were o> are prominent in 4-H club work and they in anything for their community betterment. May their sort increase. FALL TOMATOES N SPARTAN BURG. BEANS IN PICKENS. APPLES AND FALL TRUCK IN OCONEE County Agent Martin tells me they have about 4,000 acres of fall tomatoes in Spartanburg. When I rode through the upper part of that county, they were sel dom out of sight. Extremely dry weather gave them a lot of trou ble, but eventual rains came to know your Sfofej boost the crop. The little irriga tion they had looked mighty good. I talked with several growers. They were all hoping to get fixed for some irrigation soon. Dr. Garrison got spectacular re sults this fall with irrigation on tomatoes at Clemson. I’ll give you his figures on that soon. Fall tomatoes is just another promising truck crop for the near mountain area. In late summer and fall mos^t -of the gardens and truck patches of the Low Coun try have spent themselves and dried up. But the Up Country, and specially on up in the cool moun tain valleys, they can usually grow fine truck until frost. Pickens county is getting into snap beans in a rather big way in some of its mountain coves, according to County Agent wSod. And pimento peppers are promising on the red hills too, he says, as they are also in a number of counties in this area. With more and more folks to feed, new food growing areas are being constantly needed. And in this Up Country there are many frontiers in that line. I sat with the county agents and specialists from Clemson some years ago when that fall tomato deal was first launched in the Spartanburg area. Now it begins to bear fruit. County Agent Morgan of Oconee tells me that they plan to grow fall and early winter vegetables in the Long Creek area and process them for market through their cooperative apple marketing facil ity up there. • DOVE STUDY Our Wildlife Resources Depart ment* is continuing its dove stud this hunting season that opene Sept. 15.

ELEAZER In a sea battle off Charleston harbor on February 16, 1864, the 50-foot submarine Hunley with a torpedo lashed to her bow sank the Federal steam sloop Housatonic. Manned by a crew of nine, the Hunley was the first submarine to be used success fully in naval warfare in all the world.

United States Brewers Foundation South Carolina Div., Columbia, S.C. The first woman teacher we had at our old one-teacher school away back in the Stone Hills was when I was about 8 jand had been in school 2 years. I thought she was the prettiest and nicest thing I had ever seen. Her gentle nature was so different to the stern, rod-wielding men we had before that it stood out like pleasant sunshine.. She boarded near our house, so walked our path home. I was a bit bashful, but used to walk along near her a lot. She was friendly, and would talk and laugh with us. She was the first teacher the older students could remem ber that they were not afraid of. And she had no problems of discipline, for we liked her. One day, late in the school year, I was walking with her, and the other kids had fallen behind. Her slipper string became untied. Hav ing an armful of books and papers, she put her foot on a rock and asked me to tie it for her! Now, folks, I’ve had my normal share of thrills in life the same as you. And I count back through them no was I write. But in golden memory, none stand out anywhere near this crowning even that hap pened back there on a pine ridge in the Stone Hills of the Dutch Fork a half century ago. For, for me then, thht was surely the gold en slipper that my princess was wearing. And to be able to touch it was glory indeed! Yes, glory that set every nerve in my body to tingling. Every emotion in my soul to soaring. And every reach of my imagination to building air castles of granduer. What a thrill! The other kids never teased me. However, I was too happy to even think of that danger then. I think they too liked her so much they just didn’t think of doing t .t.

McBride said that by writing or visiting any VA office, a vetera© can learn just how much money he can save on his premiums by this method, in addition to th* monthly costs of stamps and checks or money orders. “There is less chance of tha veteran lapsing his GI insurance policy if he pays his premiums on quarterly, semi-annual or an nual basis,” said McBride. Third, McBride said, never send cash through the mail. He said Veterans should always use a check or monev order made pay able to the Veterans Administra tion in mailing premiums to the VA district office holding the vet erans’ insurance records. For South Carolina veterans, the ad dress is 441-449 West Peachtree St., Atlanta 3, Ga. By using check or money order, the veteran-policy holder not only insures the safety of his mopey but has a record of the payment.
