ELEAZER Clemson Extension Information Specialist TOMORROW This is released for the last day of the year. My, how short this one has been! If time moves on at this speed, we’ll use up our remaining cal endars quick. Tomorrow is all we have. Now it brings a new year. Are we ready for it? This swiftly moving time calls for planning, if we are to get things done. Farm planning! No vocation calls for more, doubt if any other one calls for as much. For farming is a multitudinous thing. A good farmer has to be all sorts of a man. The vagaries of nature, the whims of man, the economics of the world, they all bear intimately on his business. And he must plan and project it all with these imponderables in mind. As a reward or public recogni tion, Clemson has been awarding plaques to a few farm families over the state who have done well in executing their farm and home plans. Many farm families are making seasonal progress in writing out their plans into practical form on their farm and in and around their homes. They are prospects for fu ture “Balanced Farming Awards” from Clemson. County and home agents help work out the practical plans and also assist, as needed along, in developing and carrying them out- You might ask what is “Bal anced Farming” anyway? It is simply the best possible use of everything you have there, land and folks. It aims at hold ing and building the soil and mak ing diverse abundance, suited to your needs, come from your part of the good earth. And, surely, that should .be the aim of every husbandman of the soil. Farm planning! Yes, that car ries the promise of better tomor row! BEST POTATO SHOW The 4-H sweet potato exhibit of 150 one-hushel hampers at the Florence fair in late October “was the best agricultural display ever put on in this state,” according to District Agent J. T. Lazar, as quoted by Bob Martin in his news feature on that subject. This 4-H project was started 8 years ago, with the aid of spon soring firms interested in the com mercial development of the sweet potato. The highest yield of quality potatoes has been the aim from the start. And that remark able exhibit of 150 busheh baskets of fine sweets by the boys at the Florence fair indcates the pro- IV'' this week's n >/ patte ^ BY AUDREY LANE rns V meej 2485 SIZES 10 • 20 gress that has been made. Those potatoes were sold at the close of the fair and brought twice the current market price of the usual number one potatoes. This project is Carried right on to the terminal markets when, later, the winning youngsters pool their cured stock and accompany it to one of the big 'markets up East. Growing, showing, and marketing ’em, the youngsters get the whole story. WATER I’ve been out at parched places, in the Far West where it practi cally never rains. Saw clouds there at times that looked like rain to me. 6ut an old-timer said, “Bud, no one ever tries to predict rain until he has been here a hundred years. And then he's got better sense.” Looks like the clouds would just forget sometime and rain there anyway. Life and greenery ut there, as as elsewhere, follow the water. At places I’ve seen them bringing it several hundred miles. Where mountains get in its way, they tunnel right on through. Where valleys bother, they build aqua- ducts across them. And where they run into a dead end with it, they pump it up hundreds of feet to a new level, from which it flows on to the appointed spot. With diversification of both farm and industry here, we are be ginning to value water more. And at places we already feel the pinch of its scarcity. Good, feesh water in abundance is getting to be* one of the world’s most critical items. Water is life to farm and factory. Ours is a pro blem of conserving it. The Al mighty sends plenty of it here to us. But most of it runs away be fore we can use it. Then later we need it, critically. Surely we can work out economical means of detaining more of it for future use. Our legislature is consider ing laws to govern the beneficial use of our great water resource. We have a long rocky road ahead on that. ’.TH€; STARS BOYS ARE THAT WAY By J. M. ELEAZER SINCLAIR GASOLINE City Filling Station Strother C. Paysinger, Distributor He was raised on a bottle, and never weaned. Just changed the content of the bottle as he grew up. We kids were deathly afraid of him when on a drunken tear, as he frequently Vas. One Christmas eve we heard him coming. His whooping and yelling, and the clatter of the bug gy wheels and horse’s hoofs on the rocky road was unmistakable. Before we could get away and hide, he swished up in our yard and jerked the foaming horse to a sudden stop. This upset him and he fell forward across the dash board, catching to the singletree. With a few vile oaths at the horse, he righted himself, and then called us kids out to the buggy. I had been scared before. But never quite that bad. He pulled an old sack from under the seat. Had about a half bushel of cans of sardines in it. He gave each of us one. Then he got out of the buggy, staggered to the back of it, raised the boot, and it was plumb full of coconuts. He gave each of us one of them. Said, “Kids, these is yourn.” He then climbed back in the buggy, gave the horse a resound ing whack with the whip, and bare ly missed the corner of our lot fence as he swirled around the curve on his way home in the deep woods. We later learned he was to have bought some Christmas things for the family with the money from their last remnant of cotton. But theirs was just sardines and coco nuts that Christmas. Yes, and liquor enough to ruin it for them and make a beast of him. 2609 No. 2485 to eat In sites 10, 12, 14, 10, 18, 20. hi -e IQ: y ds. of 54-In. (Longer enetb jacket included!)

One can’t help but wonder what the redhead has that com mands such a loyal foDowing . . . He ridicules his cast, his double entendre is often in poor taste (any other performer using pre cisely the same lines would have his scalp sought by the public), his only talent is a gift of gab and a penffhant for reading joke» that listeners send in—and yet it would seem that he could commit an actual murder on the air and the whole country would decide with him that he was justified . . .

Eddie, too, is known for hi£ dis covery of and kindness to stars . . .
