LOVE FINDS A HOME

rose shrilly. “It doesn’t mat-
to you that I hate this place.
I-hate living out here away

Steve looked at Anne for a long
moment, then walked out of the

Anne watched Steve’s retreating
figure until it reached the orchard.
then she wearily turned toward
tee bedroom. Low rolling thunder
made her whirl about, and run to
the window.
A strong north wind veered to
ward the orchard. Anne’s heart
began to beat furiously as she
watched. If the wind would de
stroy again, the way it had last
year—maybe Steve would listen to
reason, then. The wind shook the
trees in a frenzy of destruction.
One by one the branches bent
down, until the tips kissed the
sodden earth beneath them. For
a breathless moment they lay
there, then, slowly at first, inch
by inch, they battled their way up,
until, with one final effort, they
snapped upright.
Anne moaned, then turned de
feated steps toward the bedroom
again. Her last hope was gone.
Now Steve—Steve! A sudden wave
of terror swept over Anne. He had
been out there in teat storm. He
might be hurt—”
The door flew open, and a mo
ment later she was in Steve’s arms.
“Did tee storm frighten you,
darling?? Steve asked anxiously.
“No. but you—are you all right?”
“I got a little wet, teat’s all.”
Steve grinned. “But I did a lot of
hinking out there. Nothing is more
mportant than your happiness.
You can write Linda teat it’s O.K.
We’ll go to the city—”
The city. Bright lights, theaters,
concerts. Anne waited for the feei
ng of elation, but nothing hap
pened. She began to laugh softly.
The theater? Concerts? What could
compare with tee drama she had
; ust witnessed? And the birds and
the crickets and the frogs, they
made the sweetest music—.
“Anne, sweetheart, what’s
wrong?”
“Why. nothing dear,” Anne
aughed. “Come let’s see what the
storm has done to our orchard.
And later, Steve, we’ll write Linda
that our home is not for sale. And
never will be.” she concluded as
Steve’s lips met hers.

PASTURE IRRIGATION
It is quite evident that we
have a lot to learn about irriga
tion. In an overwhelming number
of instances it has paid, paid
handsomely in most cases.
But now and then we find one
where it didn’t. Experiment and
'experienoe will eventually find
out why.
On a creek-bott )m pasture, the
Tennessee Experiment Station got
an increase of milk value averag
ing $115.53 per acre for each of the
past two dry years on a Ladino-
alfalfa-orchard grass pasture. But
here at Clemson irrigation did not
pay on those same two years on
an old Bermuda sod, according to
the Dairy Department.
During the past three very dry
years I have visited Hannah
Brothers’ dairy farm in Abbeville
several times with County Agent
Bull. They had an abundance of
succulent grazing every time,
wfaile pastures all around them
had been changed by drought into
just exercising grounds.
Live and learn, that’s what we
are doing with irrigation.
HIGH YIELDS
With .overproduction of many
crops facing us, one might wonder
why shoot for highest possible
yields.

Poor farming is not the remedy
for any of our ills. Costs are high.
About all we can do is lower unit
costs by getting a lot of stuff per
acre.
Farmers surely need to study
the prospective demand for their
stuff and then try to produce ac
cordingly. And, if less stuff is
needed, acreage reduction is in
order, not sloppy farming.
The greatest possible economic
production of quality stuff per
acre must surely be our aim al
ways. Otherwise the abundance we
have known wil not continue.
IRRIGATION FOR SWEET PO
TATOES
A few years ago I told you here
*of the good results Rutledge Con
nor, Jr., had gotten from irrigat
ing sweet potatoes.
Last year Ed Gulledge at
Wedgefield set out 80 acres in the
dry dust and irrigated them right
away and clear on through—4
times in all. There he housed 287
bushels per acre.
He also set 60 additional acres
that he could not irrigate. There
he had to wait for moisture that
came naturally, like others in the
community did. From these he
housed a bare 100 bushels per
acre, and there were twice as
many cracked ones as in the ir
rigated fields, he said.
With irrigation, you can set the
plants when you are ready, re
gardless of drought, and get a
good stand. And then, with it, you
can keep ’em growing. This holds
for tobacco too.
FOOD NEEDS
The experts figure that our
population in this country is in
creasing by one every 12 seconds.
It is also figured that it takes
about 1,600 pounds of food a year
per person. That takes in what
we eat and normal wastage. There
fore, that means we need 5 times
that, or 4 tons of additional food
in this country every miinute of
the day and night. That’s 240 tons
an hour, or 3,360 additional tons
of food needed every day, if each
is to continue to eat as he had.
And, folks, for a year that adds up
to 1,226,400 tons of new food need
ed for our increased population.
It is fortunate for us that our
scientific agriculture is able to
mear^rt up to such a growing
need. Not only do we measure up
to it, but we are plagued by sur
pluses at times. But small sur
pluses are necessary or a part of
the game. For when you plant a
crop you can’t say just how much
you are going to make, like with
automobiles or milk bottles. With
weather, insect, and disease haz
ards to run, our food acreage must
play safe. And when the seasons
smile, there is a bit too much.
And there is where the govern
ment comes in to safeguard the
whole price from collapsing.
Now that saves the farmer. But
that isn't all. It saves you and me
too from possible hunger and
higher prices a bit later. For a
broke farmer can’t grow_the stuff
we really need. So, after all, we
all have a stake in price supports.
They do not insure the farmer a
profit, but merely protect him
from disaster.
In Baltimore, Md., a boy sat on
a chair, discovering to his dis
may that a 9-weeks-old baby got
there first. Does that qualify him
as an experienced baby-sitter?
