V„ Carolina Remnant Shop Our changing agriculture calls for new community service and custom work arrangements. I see these things coming everywhere I go. Heavy equipment for lowland clearing, where pastures are to go, are at work in most counties. Pond building too is calling for most of them. Few if any of these outfits are just on the owner’s farm. Some are .owned by the counties and some are privately owned. But they are kept busy doing custom work for neighbors ^all around. Combines too lend themselves to custom work. And some of them move from south to north with the harvest. Out in Greenwood county, J. J. Griffin has put in a modern seed cleaning, feed grinding, and feed mixing plant for custom work. County Agent Garvin tells me Mr. Griffin has conferred with the livestock and poultry folks at Clemson, secured their recommen dations and formulas for mixed feeds, and is in position to grind and mix feeds for farmers from the ingredients they have, and add what’s needed to balance them out. This is .in line with develop ments in the field now. We are growing a lot more grain. And we wonder where we can store it and sell it. Bins were already about full with old grain when the recent crop came off. We are also getting well along into the cattle business. But most of our cattle are sold from grass. Here and there I see a farmer who has found feeding out some of those cattle to be the best possible market for that exti^a feed he is growing. Selling feeder cattle and grain are similar.

But the fellow who does the finishing usually has a better chance. So, in this case, we can com bine two of those raw products, feeder cattle and grain, on a good many farms where we have both. The result then is a product that is more finished. Instead of havt ing two raw products for sale, we then have one finished product And that finished, grain fed steer usually brings enough more to pay for his keep and a profit on the operation.

SAVE THE LIVERS Heard my old friend and one of the best farmers I’ve ever known, Ryan White of Sumter county, had been ailing. So back in the early summer I went by to see him. Sure enough, that pain in his hip had about ruined the socket. So the doctor had put him in a new swivel Joint. With one of steel now, what will he be doing, for he has always been about the work- ingest man yon ever saw. He works a good sized mechan ized farm by himself! Yes, that’s so, except for an occasional day laborer he picks up. A fine grain crop was almost ready for the harvest when I was there, and he had just finished a cracker-jack concrete block grain storage barn astride a little hill there that gave him a natural body-height floor to load grain from at each end. He only has 10 acres of culti vated crop, and that is corn. A neighbor. Bill Brown, came and laid it by for him while he was in the hospital. And it carried the promise of a bumper yield. Hogs, beef cattle, and grain are his money crops. His 83 clean Hampshires were sold to Harvin Packing Company the past spring. They reported to him that they didn’t lose a single liver ffom parasites. Growing hogs on clean land accounted for that. His hogs ire farrowed on clean grazing, and they are harvesting their feed in clean fields all the time. They never see an old dirty lot, where hogs get so infested with para sites, both internal and external. And a healthy hog that can really make efficient use of feed. Most hogs from the Southeast are so infested with internal para sites that few livers are saved, the packers tell me. But Ryan’^ ex perience, and that of others who follow Clemson’s sanitary plan, get good fast-growing top hogs of^ 200 pounds in 6 months or little less. And those parasite free porkers make cheaper gains too, plus cleaner carcasses and usable livers. Those lost livers on most hogs are your loss, Mr. Farmer. And they also carry a sluggish hog that doesn’t make the cheapest gains for you. County agents can outline to you the full practical sanitary plan for raising hogs, if you are interested. By TED KESTING Early this year we read about the return of the Dust Bowl. Head lines shouted the loss of crops, livestock and farm lands. But only a few little news stories told what had happened to wildlife. So Sports Afield magazine sent Arthur Carhart to investigate. His report was heartbreaking. Here's just one example: On March 10 in northeastern Colorado there was a 20-aci*e pond that sheltered a con siderable number of ducks. On March 11 there was a wind storm. On March 12 that pond had com pletely vanished. Dead ducks lay in windrows, so close together one had to step with caution or tread on carcasses. Examination of birds showed nostrils sealed by a hard plug of earth mixed with mucas. Birds died with mouths open, tongues and beaks coated with caked dust. Their windpipes were clogged with mud. A hundred miles north of that little lake were found dead ante lope suffocated in the same way. Carhart found pigeons, kangaroo rats, larks and other songbirds, cottontails and jack rabbits, phea sants, geese, bobwhites, scaled quail and other ground-nesting birds—smothered in dirt. Why is what happened to wild life in the Dust Bowl, perhaps far from where you live, important to you? Just this. Drought cannot be prevented. But its impact can be minimized by sound conservation measures. Too many sportsmen never Have grasped the .full ifliportance of fundamental conservation in wild life maintenance and production. They campaign for fnore fish hatcheries, more bird farms, and miss the primary and indispens able needs for keeping fish and game resources. The maintenance of wildlife ulti mately rests on sound, basic con servation of soil and water. If we misuse or abuse soil and water we bring destruction to wildlife hab itat. Right in your neighborhood there may be watersheds skinned by destructive lumbering; some body may be draining swamp lands BY EDNA MILES rpms fall, slickers for teen agers have taken on a brand- new look in a black-and-white herringbone tweed effect. Same waterproof oilskin, same com plete rainy weather protection, but now the coat’s pretty enough to wear on fair days, too. Budget-priced so that it can be. paid for from a teener’s allow ance, the new slicker is worn with a matching head-hugging cloche. It’s done in a lightweight cloth that supplies supple tex ture and strength without weight. Color is in the coating, which is applied many times to make the fine percale sheeting completely waterproof. This year, the slicker comes in classic yellow, bright red, pastel pink, sky blue and navy and in cludes sizes for everyone in the family. Trim is in form of brass hook- and-eye fasteners plus a black corduroy-lined collar. In the 1920’s, the vtell-loved slicker cracked and became tacky in no time at all. The 1954 sUck«r jvon’t do this, because machine oiling creates a uniform coating that keeps the fabric plidble and soft. ; : iiii, wp • ■;P< \ w- [if, £ % I Pll PS' pislll * „ fH I is 111 mm ■M:. ’rtiM 111 IB ! ~ ii Keen far a teen Is ibis herringbone-tweed slicker, with corduroy collar and matching cloche.

Christian giving Is an indispen sable part of Christian living. Nc man can be sincere in his Christian life if he is not willing to give unto God that which is due. Paul was concerned In raising a collection for the poor saints in Jerusalem and he was urgent in emphazing the responsibility of converts to ward the needs that were brought to their attention. The apostle laid down a plan that anticipated by nearly' two thousand years the every-mezpber canvass and the weekly bringing of, contributions to the church. Upon the first day of the week, he wrote, Christians should lay aside the part of their earnings that should be consecrated unto God. Paul cited the example of a gen erous giving by the Macedonian Christians, who had given above all that he expected of them, and more, beyond all that he thought was their ability to give. He also revealed the secret of their gen* erous giving—they first gave their own selves unto God. When a man gives himself to God, there.is noth ing that he will withhold from God. But Paul, in urging the Cor inthians to give freely, also cited the greater example of the Lord Jesus who was rich but surren- J dered his kingly glory and became I poor that men might be rich. !>•* # • • • • •’# • • be * fee .j • ••••*•*••♦*•••••••••< ••••••••••»..••»••••• i> • • •••••••••••••«'••••< fa **#•• «••«**•••••* k • • .»•••••••••••«•• ••••*•••••a••••••• K • e.e ••••••••••••••••••** i * • • •% *j • • • •••eeoeeeeeeeeeeet »•••••*•«•••«••••••••« Aaeeee*.#*....*.***.** ••••••#•«•••«•••••••• *•••••••••••••••••••••I »•.••••••••••••••*••••* ••••#••*•*• j e e e e-e ee _ |e V* • • • • • • • a e # • a• • |i« ••••••••••••••••••#•••«•.< »•*tfc-.••••••••••••••••< ■ • •«•••••••••< % • • ee • • • • a • 4 .•■li • • •••«••« • • •••«.•< \e e 4e e e-e erne . * »•••*emet Te e a I __ feeeC Jfe erne* la aeea4 »#•••« I a a • • • _ _ raaaeaai F a e m m e e e e e et ‘ » • « a a aj mg % * K • HfsIIp WM Aug. 3 r x . ^.
