COASTAL BERMUDA GRASS
I have yet to find a county agent
who does not think well of the
certified Coastal Bermuda grass
demonstration plantings that were
made in all counties last spring.
You recall, Clemson got all of the
certified stock the Tifton Experi
ment Station could spare last win
ter. With this, local seed areas
were started in every county. So
now we have good clean runners
available in every county for
plantings this fall and winter.
Many of these plantings made
phenomenal growth, despite ‘the
dry summer they encountered.
Some few jvere not taken care of
properly and didn’t do much. But
there are enough outstanding suc-
cessess to indicate we have a good
thing in this new grass. Although
only planted last April, many of
ink it Over!
A GENERATION or two
ago, the average layman
cringed from talking to an
insurance salesman, because he
felt that the only benefit to be
derived from insurance would
be realised at his death. He felt
he was being asked to remain
“poor" all of his life, in order
to die “rich."
The reputation of insurance
has certainly changed since that
time, and rightly so. No longer
is it true that even half of in
surance benefits are paid ns
death benefits. The fact is that
in 1952 56* of every dollar paid
in benefits by all companies was
S aid as living benefits to policy-
olders, in the form of en
dowments, disability payments,
annuity payments, surrender
values or dividends.
At a coneequence, the intelli
gent layman now welcomes an
insurance salesman as a friend
and counsellor, and any insur
ance salesman worth his salt,
searches for and honestly tries
to supply his prospects’ needs,
instead of selling him the pol
icy which pays the highest
commission,
PRESIDE!
CAPITAL LIFE INSURANCE
COMPANY
‘Founded on Faith—Dedicated to Service”
COLUMBIA, S. C.
the areas covered the ground knee
deep the past summer, furnishing
both good grazing and good hay
yields.
County Agent Cain' of Calhoun
rssisted in judging the Coastal
Bermuda plantings there that
were entered in the contest spon
sored by their Soil Conservation
District Supervisors. He says,
“Even though they were all set
out only last spring, quite a few
runners 8 feet long were found,
even under our dry conditions."
RICE BIRDS
Rice is being revived along the
rivers of our Low Country. County
Agent Alford ot Colleton tells me
there was something over 2,000
acres of it grown there the past
summer, with yields from 18 to 75
bushels per acre.
With the return of rice, the rice
birds have come back too, myriads
of ’em. They had to employ all
manner of means to try to keep
them out during the few critical
weeks that they do their damage.
Rifles, shotguns, and airplanes
were used to scare them away.
And they even tried dropping fire
crackers from planes. And with it
all, the birds were quite a pro
blem.
ESTILL LEADS
There is special vitality and
virulence in the agriculture and
leadership down at Estill.
Having some of the finest lands
in the state, they make good use
of ’em with a diverse agriculture.
Modern diversified farming calls
for a lot of storage, safe storage.
This is specially so when a lot of
grain', corn, soy beans and the like
are coming along.
On this all-important matter of
safe storage, Estill leads by a wide
margin.
Harper and Bowers have one of
the finest grain elevators in the
entire country there. The capacity
is over 700,000 bushels. And these
great concrete towers have been
kept filled from the very start.
And they have had to turn away
grain that was seeking storage,
drying and cleaning.
County Agent Thompson tells
me that Otis Crapse there Is put
ting in a 13,500-bushel grain dry
ing and storage outfit. And A. O.
Bush, also of Estill, is erecting
four concrete stave bins with a
capacity of 10,000 bushels of grain
and an adjacent drying unit.
So, hats off to the dynamic
spirit of Estill! Those folks are
doing right much towards develop-
it

GRAIN SORGHUM IN LEXING
TON
County Agent Evans of Lexing
ton says they had a lot more grain
sorghum than ever the past sum
mer. It stood there through the
drought, curled up, and waited for
the rains, while corn was ruining.
Late moisture came, most fields of
sorghum came out satisfactorily,
and “the heads were large and
heavy,” he says. “This good yield
of grain sorghum is badly needed
to supplement the short corn crop
of the county," according to
Evans.
Saluda, Newberry, and some
other counties have seen their
grain sorghum acreage grow, too in
recent years. It is a crop we need,
for it lends itself to mechaniza
tion and can be planted following
grain, where corn can't. It is the
equal of corn as a feed, and will
usually make more than corn un
der the same conditions. The, dwarf
varieties stand well and make
good grazing on out into the win
ter.
BOYS ARE
THAT WAY
By J. M. ELEAZER
As kids, out at lay-by days in
August, we had to go about 6
miles through the Dutch Fork to
Cousin Jake Haltiwanger’s for
singing lessons.
We boys didn’t like that,
thought it was sissy, had to dress
up, and it took us away from our
wilder routine of play through the
hills and vales around home. They
were always new and inviting to
us. For each day brought its
change to the paths and trails we
traveled in our back country. An£
we didn’t like to have our routine
messed up with those singing les
sons.
But they were law, and we had
to go, for about two weeks.
We were just a bunch of kin-
nery around there, and all the kids
went together, in a twq-seated
surry, with a fringe around the
top. It belonged to Cousin Chari.
The mule that pulled it alternated
around.
Old Hate was a big and ornery
mule that Cousin Perry had used
to a dray in Columbia. She got the
“swinnic,” whatever that is, on the
cobblestones of Columbia, and
they thought it would do her good
to send her up in the country a
while.
She was a big mule, and had a
mouth as tough as whit-leather.
She just about did as she pleased,
paing little attention to the reins
and bit. And her hide was about
as tough as her mouth. Such
lashes as we kids could give her
hardly caused her to even switch
her tail, and she walked on leisure
ly as she liked.

LOW WATER BRIDGE . , . The bridge above was designed by agri
cultural engineers for farms that have streams that are difficult to
cross. Such a bridge will work in most ravines and lasts Indefinitely.
One day it was old Kate’s turn
to take us to singing. By pulling
hard on the right rein, Miller, the
largest boy, could steer her to
take the right forks in the dim
woods road. And when we got to
Cousin Jake’s, he stopped her by
several of us pulling as hard as we
could on one rein and steering her
head into a large tree. There she
stopped and we kids got off from
all over that surry, about 10 or 12
of us.
I’ll have to wait until next week
to tell you what happened on the
way back home, for I don’t have
room left here.

The Keep Green campaign to protect forests from fire getj
devoted and powerful support from press, radio and television.
Intelligent reporting by America's newspapers, broadcasters and
telecasters has made millions of citizens more aware of their personal
responsibility for protecting woodlands from fire. At the same time
it has given the public a better understanding of the importance of
cooperating with the tree farmers who are growing timber crops
for tomorrow. For this far-sighted, continuing service, the forest
industries salute their friends—the newspapers, radio and television
stations of the United States. Their service in behalf of forest protec
tion and wise woodland management is in the American tradition.
