Children have more faith — In
their parents, in the goodness of
human beings, in most everything.
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.

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.

want to buy the less expensive

The ermine is a member of the
