Neels Have Balanced Farm Operation
The Richard E. Neel Family is
typical of many rural families in
Newberry County. That is to say
they work and plan together to
achieve a more balanced farm and
home life.
Mr. and Mrs. Neel have been
married for Ifi years. They have
one child, a little girl 3 years of
age.
The farm consists of about 500
acres of well managed farm land.
In addition to the farm, Mr. Neel
and his brother operate a rural
store and a sawmill.
* A 35 cow grade A dairy on the
farm is an outgrowth of ’cream
sales that were begun in 1940.
Sour cream was sold for 4 years,
class C milk was delivered on a
Borden Company milk route for
4 year, and grade A milk has been
sold for the past 5 years.
Four brood sows are kept for
farm and market meat production.
In order to balance labor and
increase farm income the produc
tion of broilers was begun in 1949
producing 10,000 and has grown
to a capacity of 56,000 during
1953.
Approximately 100 acres of im
proved pastures along with other
grading crops are used for cattle.
In order to further balance the
farm the remaining land is used
for cotton, corn, small grains and
timber.
A little over two years ago the
Neels built a modern 3 bedroom
brick home near the modest one in
which they were living.
Mr. Neel sawed all lumber.

hardwood flooring, etc. for the
house at his mill except for the
doors and windows. He swapped
green lumber for these.
As you drive into the farm you
note an attractive lawn which has
been planted for the winter as
well as for the summer. Drives
are conviently located to get to
the barns, chicken houses, and
tenant houses. Mr. A. E. Schillet-
ter and the County Farm and
Home Agents planned with Mr.
and Mrs. Neel for these and also
the walks. Miss Margaret Martin,
Extension Service Food Produc
tion and Conservation Specialist,
worked with them on the founda
tion plantings. These are mainly
hollies and nandena. Mixed with
them are arbividars, roses, ca
mellias, gardenias and 2 boxwoods.
By rooting and using what she
had at the former home she has
spent only $37.00 for shrubs. She
has let her home grounds be a
demonstration for those in the
community. Already one pruning
demonstration has been conduct
ed by Miss Mlartin on the shrub-
ery. Mrs. Neel says that the fam
ily and neighbors have come just
to see how she has planted her
shrubbery.

TACK BAILEY, whose ambition
is to make every woman in
America “Queen” for every day,
revealed five rules recently which,
if followed by contestants, would
lead them to crown, robes and the
prizes and thrills which come with
being “Queen for a Day” . . .
“First,” Jack says, “a woman must
sincerely and simply establish a
needful wish to be granted if she
is named Queen . . . She might
fool me, but she never can fool
those other women in the audience
and their applause decides who
wins . . Secondly, she must not
be too concerned with self, but to
All a need of a husband, children
or friends.
“She must hold emotions in check
as much as is possible ... If she
can’t help breaking down, the audi
ence will understand, but other
women turn away from a contest
ant they think is ‘staging’ a scene
. . . She must be warmly natural
and, lastly, she must not ‘over
dress’ nor ‘dress down’ as though
in a costume picture about needy
women . . . Follow those five, and
you’re Queen for a Day!”

Anderson’s w
you can see into the spacious din
ing room. There is only an arch
between the two. A big picture
window gives plenty of light in
the living room. Through the win
dow a beautiful forest scene can
be seen.
From the living room also one
can go into, the central hall and
then to the two bedrooms, den,
bathroom, and kitchen. One bed
room is in the attic. (This has not
been completed and is used for
storage.) Just off from the mast
er bedroom is a half bath.
The kitchen can be reached
easily from thet^ dining room. In
the kitchen you see about 30 ft.
cabinet space and also a nice large
pantry. Mrs. Neel says that she
uses regularly these labor saving
pieces of equipment: washing ma
chine, vacuum cleaner, pressure
cooker, and sauce pan, iron,
electric perculator, electric waxer
and buffer. Back of this is a small
dinette where the family eats and
a glassed back porch.
Some of the next big things
they hope to get is a central heat
ing plant, a power mower and
new furniture for the living and
dining rooms.
Even though they raise only
broilers and sell milk to a large
concern, Mrs. Neel has 30 hens
and extra butter. Excess products
are sold.
Up until the new home was built
the Neels had a garden, about an
acre in size and canned over 500
qts. vegetables, fruits, and meats.
They have access to a deep
freeze at the store.
Just recently they have pur
chased a television. Other family
recreation includes church and
Community get togethers. They
have an outdoor fireplace which
they will use a great deal more
when the little girl is a little old
er.
The entire family is active in
the local Presbyterian church and
Sunday School. Mrs. Neel belongs
to the women of the church, a
circle, and Sunday school. She has
been both chairman and vice-
chairman of her church, circle. She
attends all study groups.
She has been a member of the
local Home Demonstration Club
for over 12' years and bolds the
following offices: vice president of
the club and health chairman.
While health chairman she helped
to secure services of sanitarian
to test water supplies of the neigh
bors and clinics for community.
Mr. Neel besides being active in
the church is a member of the
Farm Bureau, Woodmen of the
World, and County Agricultural
Committee.
Mr, Neel’s relations with farm
labor is clearly revealed by the
fact that colored share croppers
have.remained on the farm over a
long period of years. One family
has been- with him for twenty
years and other families have been
on his farm from 12 to 15 years.
This family has been selected to
work for the Balanced Farm
Award and has been actively en
rolled in this for two or more
years.

Jesus and the Samariums.
Lesson for January 24: John 4:
27-42.
Golden Text: John 4: 42.
It is said that the Jews of our
Lord’s time, when going from Jeru
salem to Galilee, usually traveled
east of the Jordan so as to avoid
passing through cursed Samaria.
But Jesus, with his disciples, on the
occasion of which the lesson tells,
took the road through Samaria. Did
he do this that he might meet the
woman at the well? Perhaps about
noon, Jesus and the disciples
reached Jacob’s well near the city
of Sychar. And Jesus rested there
wl^jje the disciples went away to
buy food.
After the woman of Samaria had
come to the well to draw water
arid was amazed at the words of
the wondrous Stranger she had
met there, she left her waterpot
unfilled and hastened back to the
city to tell the men of her experi
ence. “Is not this the Christ?” she
asked them.
The forgotten waterpot, left at
the well, is eloquent of the change
of heart and new direction of de
sires that will come to one who
finds Jesus on the road of life.
The woman hastened back to the
city to tell the wondrous news and
to invite men to see the Christ for
themselves. There is a good lesson
in that for us. Finding Christ for
ourselves, let us be eager to bring
others to know him. A good man,
speaking of his conversion, said he
knew it was genuine because he
wanted to bring others to Christ.

Mrs. F. Scott Elliott Leads Program
On Life And Works Of Carl Sandburg
The regular monthly meeting
of the woman’s club of Newberry
was held January 14, at the home
of Mrs. H. B. Senn. In the absence
of Mrs. S. C. Griffith, the presi
dent, the meeting was presided
over by Mrs. P. H. Monroe who
conducted a short business meet
ing.
Mrs. A. J. Bowers, a member of
the program committee, presented
Mrs. F. Scott Elliott as the speak
er for the afternoon. Mrs. Elliott,
in discussing Carl Sandburg, the
distinguished American writer,
confined her remarks chiefly to the
Poems of the Midwest and to his
latest book, the autobiographical
Always the Young Strangers.
In discussing the Poems of the
Midwest, she said that in 1913
some one brought to the editor of
Poetry Magazine, a little batch of
typewritten sheets of poetry, say
ing a man named Carl Sandburg
had written them. As the editor
read them a conviction of their
beauty and power swept over her,
so in March 1913, she published
them in her magazine. In 1916
they were published by Henry
Holt and company as the Chicago
Poems. In 1918 another volume
entitled Cornhuskers was also
published. In 1946 these two vol
umes were published under the
title of The Poems of The Mid
west. Carl Van Doren considered
these poems “a direct answer to
Walt Whitman’s hope for a demo
cratic poetry that would express a
distinctly American speech.” It
has been said that no other writer
in American literature has ever
panned in the pebbles of common
speech and come up with more
nuggets. He has a great gift for
listening to the speech of the com
mon people.
Mrs. Elliott read a few of his
poems including “Fog,” “Chicago”
The bridegroom is the young
est son of Mrs. I. C. Layton and
the late Mr. Layton of Newberry.
He is a graduate of Newberry
High school and is now a senior
at Newberry College. He is also
employed at Bergen Clothing Co.
Mr. and Mrs. Layton are re
siding at 1105 Speers St.
Out-of-down guests included
Mrs. W. P. Hall and Miss Ann
Hall of Greenwood, Mrs. R. L.
Richey, Mrs. W. R. Richey and
Mrs. Hilton Timms, all of Ware
Shoals; also Mr. and Mrs. John
W. Padgett of Atlanta.
and “Prairie.”
Always The Young Strangers
was published, January 6, 1953, on
the author’s 75th birthday. This
book, a delightful memoir of his
youth, 1878-1898, may be called a
classic of the Middle West. It is
uniquely American.
Mrs. Elliott told of her visit in
1946 to Galesburg, Illinois, the set
ting for the book and the birth
place of the distinguished author.
His father and mother came to
this prairie city in 1870, emi
grants fresh from Sweden. In 1946
the original birthplace was re
stored, and In 1948, the state of
Illinois established, as its special
gift to it. The Lincoln Room. In
1940 Carl Sandburg won the Pulit
zer Prize for his four volume bio
graphy: Lincoln: The War Years.
Mrs. Elliott displayed a copy of
Life Magazine, Feb. 23, 1953, in
which Carl Sandburg writes a per
sonal story entitled “I Went Back
to Galesburg.” He, as poet, novel
ist, biographer, guitar player, and
distinguished raconteur has lived
76 years about as richly as any
one could. He has spent much of
his time transferring to American
Literature those ' heritages that
have made the nation great.
He fipds much quiet beauty in
the hills of North Carolina where
he lives in the beautiful home
built in 1833 by Confederate Secre
tary of the Treasury, Christopher
Memminger, located at Flat Rock.
