PAGE SIX THE NEWBERRY SUN THURSDAY, SEFTEJVLbttK y, SECRET ROMANCE By Priscilla Smith Botti /TpHE young men stood before delivery trucks belonging to Adams Drug Store. Tbey were •allege friends spending their sum- oner vacations working for a drug- glet In a distant city. Dan was as signed deliveries on the east side eg town and Fred toe west. Every- fUng had gone smoothly until Dan, eery suddenly, wanted to change sens with Fred. “Sure 1*11 change," Fred an swered, "but for Pete’s sake why? *Tm in a Jam,” Dan replied. *Test night when I enrolled in that evening typing class. I met a girl. Her name is Marcia Morgan and Sbe’s a college student learning typing too this summer.” "So it’s a girl! I might have Dan ignored his friend’s remark. "Remember how it was raining end I told you I got wet? Well, ast her. She arrived in a long sleek limousine driven by a uni- Jormed chauffeur. We became ac- geainted and when she asked what line of work I was in. I lied.” "You what?” **l told her I was a pharmacist ■t Adams Drug Store and intended going to school for advance study to the fall.” "Wait,” called Fred. 'TU take jour run, but for the life of me. I don’t get toe connection.” "The connection is this—Marcia lives at Estate of the Elms on the mst side.” "Well, why didn’t you say so in toe first place,” cried Fred as he jumped into Dan’s truck and drove tot Seeing Marcia walking the next night they attended class, he asked if he could escort her home. She readily accepted When they reached Estate of the Elms, she said they were having company, but not caring to visit, she slipped quietly in the back door—a habit •he continued all summer. One morning in early Septem ber Fred was stricken with a virus. Dan would gladly have changed places with him, rather than risk being seen on the east eide driving a delivery truck. To make matters worse, there was a delivery for Estate of the Elms. Fred coached him as best he could. ”Use the last driveway and pull up to the rear entrance. Ring the buzzer and the cutest little maid you ever saw will answer, but don’t ask her about Marcia. I've tried it. but she’s been well trained and won’t say boo.” Following Fred’s advice. Dan drove to the back door. As he stopped, he felt weak all over be cause he saw Marcia enter the door. The day was unseasonably chilly and she was wearing a light top. coat. Suddenly his carefully guarded secret ceased to matter. He decided to tell the truth and take his chances. Ringing the buzzer, he cheer fully called, “Delivery from Adams Drug Store. He smiled at the look of be wilderment which came over Mar cia’s face when rhe opened the door and saw him. Stepping inside, he forced a brave grin. “My apol ogies my dear for eight weeks of deception. I am not a pharmacist. I took this job as delivery boy to help pay my college expenses. I should have told you that first night, but seeing your car, your chauffeur—well. I couldn’t—” Marcia’s eyes began to dance, then she threw back her head and laughed until she cried. “To think,’’ she finally said, “all summer I’ve been afraid you might find out about me through that other de livery boy. ‘My car, my chauf feur’—they were only loaned to me because it was raining. You see Dan, I too am working my way through college.” And as Dan stood speechless, Marcia slipped off her coat, rove-’ling' the neat, trim, black and white uniform of a maid. FARMS AND FOLKS By J.

Those ' with irrigation don’t have to worry. They seed 'em in the dust. Then throw a shower on. And up they come. Then the stuff has made good growth when cold weather comes, and you have it all through the winter. This applies to both grazing for livestock and green stuff for the folks too. The turnip patch, and other win ter greens. Do you have ’em up yet? They should be. At times you have enough mois ture in the land to get ’em up. But late hot dry weather kills your ’stand. I knew a fellow once who protected his fall-sown greens there in his garden by scattering just a few cowpeas along at seed ing time. They come up readily. And their broad leaves would pro tect a lot of the little seedlings. Then later he would pull the peas out when things looked safe, or he’d just leave ’em and let frost take care of that. We know the value of green stuff for stock. And the dietitians tells us it is just as necessary for us. In recent years we have had best luck with rape and mustard for mixed greens. Lice and cold got our turnips. But rape and mustard pulled through. DROUGHT DID THIS Bob Little, SCS man of Bishop- ville, says; “Due to the extreme drought, requests for assistance in locating sources of water and de signs for irrigation systems have been far in excess of what we could service.” In mid July Clemson’s extension irrigation man, Herman Lynn, told me he was called to 6 farms that week to prospect for irrigation. Five of them had no adequate source of water and one did. He designed an irrigation system for the one, and for the others he out lined how some dams could store water for the future. Although we do have a rather heavy rainfall, water for irrigation is our great problem. For it is not here when we need it. And that calls for storage, all sorts of stor age. Storage takes time, time to build and tiine to fill. Remember, next summer is not far off. FARM FOLKS DWINDLE Our Dr. Rochester tells me 73 percent of the folks In this coun try farmed in 1870. 'Ey 1900 that had dropped to 50 percent And now it is only 15 percent! No wonder it dwindles. Last year that 15 percent onrthe frfrms received only 6 percent of the national income. Yet a lot of folks who do not understand are blam ing the farmers for the high cost of food and raiment! It’s processing, services, and transportation after it leaves the farm that takes most of your food and clothing dollar. So let’s not howl at the farmer. If he’s get ting so much, why are so many leaving his ranks? Never in history have so many utterly depended on so few for food and raiment as now. And our population experts say the farm percentage will continue to drop some yet.

ELEAZER Winters seeded long and hard when I was a kid. And the wind was often whistling through the bare cracks in our empty barn ere the robin left. The going for the critters was rather tough then. The corn pile usually lasted, but for roughage it was usually the corn shucks and chickweed pulled from the garden from then on out to grass. It was in late May and early bit concerned with that. For they ^june that our barnloft was re- punished. The oats and wheat both of these advanced steps in orcharding. And each had a won derful season with peaches. Neith er alone could have hardly afford ed both. And without them, they would have had a dismal season. Often advanced farm steps are like that. By planning and hard hitting, we can often do things we otherwise couldn’t. The old say ing, “Where there’s a will there is a way,” is still very true. Dur ing a pinch, night work is often necessary. Tobacco farmers well know what I’m talking about came in then. We cut it with a cradle and tied it by hand. It was thus shocked in the field for about a week to dry out good. Often rains came and messed it up. We’d have to tear the shocks apart and let it dry out again. We liked to haul it in from the field. It rode so good high up there on that carefully sjtacked load of bundles. We packed the loft to the rafters and awaited th^ coming of the thrasher for the wheat, and enough oats for seed. The rest we fed in the bundle, concentrate and roughage in one. We liked to play and hide up there in that grain. And that was the one season our chickens didn’t have to chase bugs for something to eat. They feasted on the gralh and soon eggs were in abundance. The wary rat too thrived on that seasonal abundance. And much of it had been reduced to smelly straw when it finally reach the trough. . 1 - Later in the season the fodder and hay came in.
