At least, they start out that way. Is there anything more wonder ful than the faith and trust of an infant, often needing only the soft touch of a mother’s hand to bring contentment? And what is it but faith and trust that brings an in jured child running to mother or dad for comfort? Sure, it’s faith. But, how do you make it last? I need to know be cause my two-year-old is already losing faith in me. Once I had him wrapped around my thumb, very tightly. But. young as he is, I can tell he knows that I don’t know all the things I should. He used to come running to me with every little thing. Not now. He’^ gotten mighty independent. And, you know where I slipped up? In College — studied Journalism rather than Engineering. Sounds far fetched, but it’s true. Had I studied Engineering, it would be no problem at all to readjust the mechanism of one of those “Little Boy Blue Jet Bombers’* when it ran down. I might even understand the workings of these junior-size tanks that have as many gears as a $50 watch. But they leave me high and dry. My young son’s two favorite words once were, “Daddy, fix.’’ After several vain efforts on my part, he’s dropped the word “fix” from his vocabulary. His mother, apparently enjoying my helpless ness, has taught him a new phrase: “Tom broke. Daddy buy more." But faith. I have always heard, becomes the poor as well as the children.

Ifon^lfirafki, at 7:45 Tuns in GOURDS The gourd is among the oldest of cultivated plants. Things made from them have been found in the most ancient of tombs. And uten sils made from gourds are still used extensively among the more primitive peoples. Many of us can remember the drinking gourd that hung above the water bucket on the back porch or on a stake by the spring. And the expert fisherman used to have his prized gourd in which he kept his live bait. Mounted on poles, the gourd is still the favorite nesting place of the beautiful migrant martin. The old folks always had a clust er of such gourds hanging from a tall pole. The martins were here when the chickens were small, and they fought the hawks away. They chase crows and other predatory birds too that carry off pecans. In recent weeks I have had a number of inquiries about gourds. I won’t go into all about them here. But will say that there is a Farmers’ Bulletin 1849 entitled “Useful and Ornamental Gourds” that may be gotten from your congressman or senator. This tells all about them. There are many kinds. Gourds need something to run on. And they make good screens for unsightly places like old wood- piles, unsightly hog pens, sheds, fences, and the like. They do specially well around the lot, for stock won’t eat them, and the fertility helps. Folks ask me where they can get the seed, as most seedsmen don’t seem to handle them. I notice they are frequently carried in The Market Bulletin that our Commissioner of Agriculture, J. Roy Jones, gets out. COASTAL BERMUDA GRASS County Agent Gray of Darling ton says, “We have answered many questions about Coastal Bermuda since Dr. Lund of Clem son discussed it at our outlook meeting back in the winter. We have aided many in locating certi fied stolons for planting.” All counties have some of those certified seed patches grown last season from thfr -pure stock re ceived from the breeder. And the agents tell me there has been a lively demand for it for planting this spring. Your county agent has a pamph let telling about this promising new grass and he can likely point you to some pastures of it grow ing there in your county. The SCS men have also put out some of it with their cooperators, as have some of the agricultural teachers. TURKEY TALK Our turkey men Nesbit and Thaxton tell me there is fear of overproduction ‘ in turkey circles this year. Therefore, they urge ef ficiency at every turn with tur keys. And surely, that’s one way to improve one’s chances with any crop, grow it cheaper so there will be more left for you. Growing turkeys right is a long story. We have some very expert producers in this turkey business in this state. Most of them are joined together in the South Caro lina Turkey Federation. They meet several times a year. The mem bers and the experts from Clemson and elsewhere really discuss tur keys in detailed and practical ways. The work of this organiza tion surely has a lot to do with the fine work turkey growers in this state are doing. Turkey growing is a highly specialized business. Clemson has several up-to-date bulletins deal ing with different angles of the subject. Your county agent has them for you. PEST CONTROL Pest control has become a very important part of farming. In fact, without it we would soon go hungry and our rainment would be scant. It is estimated the crops of this state last year brought 341 million dollars, after insects and diseases had taken 75 million dollars worth of value from them. We spent 8 million dollars in fighting them, or the loss would surely have been much greater. Fighting all manner of insects and diseases that afflict our crops is a complex matter. The average farmer hasn’t time to keep up with it. But his county agent does. And there he gets his cues. m IKu nr I Mi If MrnmMi "H i :||| ' *.
