Generalissimo Chians Kai-Shek (left) and Premier Chen Cheng (right) were elected by Republic of China’s national assembly to serve as president and vice-president. FARMS AND FOLKS By J. M. ELEAZER Clemson Extension information Specialist I LIKE— The barnyard at sunset, with the farmer about his chores, and the critters headed there for the i Bight; The feel and sound of power, as a great airliner takes off, pressing against your back with the power that will hurl it and you across the continent between meals; A -field of growing corn after the shower, a silent symphony of growth there that smells like a watermellon; Spring, a dead world awakening, with power and life at every turn; The might and meaning of a great train, nose to the rails, swift ly carrying a great cargo; The humble man in the field, as he follows the furrow, and places his faith in the soil; The majesty of the ocean, the one thing in which man hasn’t made a dent; A 'moonlit night, when you can see wild things on the prowl; ''Resting cattle, in the cool shade of a grassy lowland; And the odor of country ham afryin’, as night draws on. LEAVE PLENTY COTTON Cotton is struggling to get up at many places. After a good stand is gotten, we often hurt it. Reason ably think cotton makes more, and every skip is a loss, Clemson’s Sam Williams points out. Three stalks per hill 8 to 12 inches apart is about right, according tc| both ex periment and experience. With delinted seed dropped or otherwise properly distributed in the drill, some do not thin it at all. That is widely practiced out West. The slogan is, “A Bale or More in ‘54,” you know. That is, cotton per acre. GRAIN SORGHUM Grain sorghum following grain has grow>n into a useful crop on many a farm. It has similar uses and feed value to corn. It stands drought a lot better and out-yields corn. And, as stated above, it makes well following grain, where corn won’t. The dwarfy types, best suited to combining are Caprock, Plainsman, Martin’s, and Midland, according to tests at Clemson. And the high- growing sorts, best suited for for age and silage, are Hegari and Atlas. In Newberry they have found the mature grain good grazing for turkeys, as have beef cattle grow ers at places. And after combin ing, there is a lot of roughage there that cattle can clean up. It seems I notice more grain- sorghum acreage in Saluda than elsewhere. County Agent Kearse tells me the folks like it there and the acreage is on the up. V. W. Lewiis, livestock agent for the ACL Railroad, writes: “Since 1915, I have paid regular visits to Texas and have been interested in noting that with one-third our rainfall, a great deal of feed is made there with grain sorghums.” It is surely a crop worthy of wider planting here. It fits right in with our grain, livestock, and poultry development. DRY WATER I heard many tales of the drought when I was out in West IMPORTANT NOTICE: Daylight Saving Time commences in many areas on April 25. As a result, most of your favorite television programs will be on WJBF-TV ONE HOUR EARLIER.

Detective Schedule Subject to Last-Minute Changes and Corrections. From M. D. Merry, Hudson, Wis consin: It was my fortune while living in Montana to meet an aged miner, who told me many stories of his mining life. He had gone to California at the time of the gold rush in 1848. . Being disappointed, he and a party of twenty treked overland to Southwestern Montana, where it was reported that gold could be picked up on the hills. They made their camp at what later became Bannack. Results were satisfactory, except for large brown rats, fearless things, which scampered across tables at meal time and crawled into beds at night. They decided the only remedy was cats, so two men took the wag on they had bought in California and started for the settlement in Idaho They had no trouble get ting cats, but their wagon upset on the way back and they lost half of their load. On arriving in Bannack. they were hailed with delight. An auc tion was held and the cats were < paid for in gold dust, bringing a nice profit to the promoters. • • • From Mrs. George W. Burden, Saginaw, Michigan: I remember as a young girl during the depression. I hated milk. My two nephews and I would secretly make coffee and drink it with milk so we would not have to lie when asked if we were drinking our milk. Grown folks didn’t think so. but we chil dren knew how hard it was for mother to keep our tummies filled during depression BOYS ARE THAT WAY By J. M. ELEAZER About this time of year, the bark of hickory was slipping. We used to make whistles of, as kids. We’d get a fast growing hick ory sprout about an inch across and without limlbs. We’d pound it lightly a while to loosen the bark up, but not hard enough to break or bruise it. Then we’d cut it in the shape of a whistle, notch and all, and about 6 or 8 inches long. The core of wood could then be pushed out. Two short pieces of the core would be cut off. With one we’d stop up the bottom end, and from the other we made the stopper with air vent for the mouthpiece of the whistle. Those whistles would blow good for a. little while until they start ed drying out. Then they would crack, and the jig wtas up. So the hickory whistles didn’t last long, nor the season for making ’em either. For soon the bark stuck hard and wouldn’t slip. Then we went back to our cane- brake down across the creek in Mr. Bill’s bottom. There the canes grew large, and we dragged them the several miles home by the armfuls. With these canes we not only made whistles of all sorts, both single and double, but water squirters and pop guns galore. Next week I’ll tell you about them, and, oh, yes, how we found that treasure house of large canes down there in that forbidden realm. Texas a while back. One fellow said his well got so low that he thought he had bet ter have the water tested. The report came back, showing onlj’ 30 percent moisture in it. Another fellow said when they spoke of a 3-inch rain they meant the drops fell 3 inches apart. I WAS SURPRISED I had a good visit with County Agent Miliken at Dallas, Texas, in February. He told me some sur prising things. One was. “The mule-operated parts of plantations c. RS By LYN CONNELLY /COMBINE Art Linkletter’s fond- ness for meeting people with his great curiosity and you have the reason why he makes his daily CBS radio “House Party” seem like as much fun for him as it is for the listeners . . Every day he gets the chance to meet a dozen or so strangers and ask them all sorts of questions—about them selves. their jobs, their families and their neighbors In addi tion. four young boys and girls come from various Los Angeles public schools every day to chat with Linkletter - “Sure, I like talking with peo ple,” Linkletter admits, “but best of all I enjoy talking with those four young people” . Linklet ter confesses that he’s not always sure how the youngsters will an swer even the simplest of ques tions. but he says that’s what makes that part of the program the most fun for him . “I hope radio broadcasting will always be a source of entertainment—for me, I mean,” he says. "So long as it’s as much fun as it is talking with people. I never want to quit” Well, we must admit Art does a hangup job with one glaring exception-r he ridicules names to a point of discomfort not only for the person in question but for the whole audi ence Do wish he’d take 'it easy. PLATTER CHATTER COLUMBIA: — Frankie Laine’s latest is a double-side hit that ought to sell well . . . "Long Dis tance Love” is backed by "The Kid’s Last Fight”. . .

Re verse has "Brave Man.” Rev. Robert H. Harper Ahijah Foresees a Divided King dom. Lesson for April 25: I Kings 11: 28-18 Golden Text: I Kings 11: 38. Under the study of the Northern Kingdom and Its Prophets, we have today the story of how Ahijah, a prophet, foresaw the division of the kingdom after the accession of Rhehoboam, son of Solomon, and strengthened the mind of Jeroboam to be the leader in the revolution against the house of David. . But Jeroboam needed little to encourage him in the design of wresting the greater part of the kingdom away. Evidently he had nurtured the plan of leading a revolution and of becoming the head of the revolting tribes. But the matter was held in abeyance until the death of Solomon. When the great King was dead, the time seemed opportune to begin the work of revolt. The divine judgment had fallen upon the house of David because of the idolatry that had been al lowed to flourish in the country, 1 and Jeroboam was warned against apostasy and counselled to walk aprightly in the fear of Jehovah, with the promise that the Lord would prosper him in the Kingdom of Israel which he was to establish. Thus we find tkat the promises of God are conditioned upon obedi ence to the Lord’s commands, and must be accepted in the spirit cf one who undertakes to live accord ing to God’s will.

Lewis Strauss, chairman of Atomic Energy Commission, reports on great power of H-bomb as revealed in recent Pacific tests. are still the most profitable.” And he went on to say that the scarcity of labor is all that ever drove them to mechanized farming on the great cotton plantations around Dallas. But. as he pointed out, the machine was a life saver.
