FARMS AND FOLKS

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-

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.

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.

YyN CONNELLY
T ATEST SURVEYS show that
' Arthur Godfrey suffered not
one ittle whit from his Bleyer-
LaRosa fiasco of October 19, which
is what we more or less expected
. . . 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 . . .
Fans insist King Arthur is a
wonderful old gent whose only
goal in life is to make futures
bright for struggling young artists
. A comparison with Eddie
Cantor is almost in order . . .
Eddie, too, is known for hi£ dis
covery of and kindness to stars
. . . Dinah Shore, Eddie Fisher,
Deanna Durbin, Bobby Breen and
Connie Russell would not have been
given a chance by Godfrey because,
obviously, they would have out
shone him, yet they outshone Can
tor at times and the more they did
so the happier Eddie became . . .
PLATTER CHATTER
COLUMBIA:—The Mariners have
two big hits in “Sweet Mama,
Tree Top Tail” and “I See the
Moon” but we hesitate to say so
. . . If the discs go over as they
should it’s possible the boys may
lose their humility and subsequent
ly their soft jobs—so use your
own discretion on these . . . Jerri
Adams does a fine job with “Moon
light in Vermont” backed by “Why
Tell a Lie”.
CAPITOL: — Comedian Jackie j
Gleason does one of his lush in
strumentals in “Mystery street”
backed by the beautiful “Golden
Violins”. . . Bill Dudley does well
with his own song, a winner called
“If I Cry”. . . Reverse has “The
Best Way Out.”

The author of “Living Without
Liquor” was charged recently with
his 32nd offense for drunkenness
in Los Angeles, Calif. There’s one
man who swallows what he writes
about instead of what he writes.
Scarcity breeds desire. If you
