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

this hunting season that opene
Sept. 15. They ask hunters to
save the right wings of all of the
doves they kill ’for study to de

warden has all of the particulars
and will be glad to work with you
on this.
Our game authorities report
that the local dove population is
now higher than it has been for

is good or not depends upon how
many migratory birds come in,

THAT WAY
By J. 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.
In South Carolina, state of
many historical “firsts”, the

As in other states, the program
calls for close cooperation be

and beer licensees throughout
South Carolina.

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.

McBirde Gives Tips
On Vet Insurance
Three tips on how to save time
and money when paying National
Service Life" Insurance premiums
were listed today by William W.
McBride, Manoger of the South
Carolina Regional Office of the
Veterans Administration.
Most important, said McBride,
is to pay premiums when due. He
added:

$75.00 to $255.00 depending on the
deceased wage earner’s average
monthly earnings under Social
Security.
QUESTION: I believe I am
eligible to claim my.Social Secur
ity benefits but don’t need them
as much now as I may later. May
I let/ them build up?
ANSWER: No, the amount
doesn’t build up, as you say, by
not'claiming them. We suggest
you see us soon for full informa
tion.
QUESTION: I heard your rep
resentative say on the radio that
a self-employed individual loses
not a good idea to pay premiums
late. Many times a veteran will
slip up and over ride the grace
period allowing the policy to
lapse.”
‘Second, a vetetan can save him-

report?
ANSWER: Yes, and receive full
credit toward future Social bene
fits, provided your report is filed
with your local Director of In
ternal Revenue within two years,
two months and 15 days after
the close of your taxable year.
self and his Government time and
money by 4 paying NSLI premium*
•on a quarterly, seml-annnal or an
nual basis instead of paying?
premiums each month.
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.
