FARMS AND FOLKS
By J. M. ELEAZER
Clemson Extension Information Specialist
rrs ALL ABOUT WATER
Following the fourth dry sum-
aier in succession, interest in irri-
jgntion “has grown to major propor
tions. I find that everywhere I
^5 and over the whole Southeast.
Listen to what a few County
Agents say:
Jake Willis of Chesterfield:
^Farmers in all parts of the coun
ty are thinking seriously about ir-
Hgation.” He showed me a 24-inch
tnlsation well on L. C. Reed’s
tmrmi.
J. L*. King of Dorchester:
^Abont 100 farmers inspected the
irrigated .crops on J. "W. Gruber’s
g^rm near Grover on the farm
Benr early in July. They were im
pressed with the corn crop, which
Is the best ever seen in this sec
tion, despite the extended
Anmgbt.” (And I could add that
It was very fine corn there amid
isoorched desolation.)
J. C. King of Marion: “This
year has made Marion county
fiurmers irrigation conscious. Dur-
Jng late June and in July 16 farm
ers Irrigated tobacco, three irri
gated pastures, and two irrigated
earn. Three new irrigation systems
were bought, two farmers dug
toads, and requests for assistance
fat selecting pond sites exceeded
"9Q. Current interest indicates that
at least eight new irrigation sys
tems will be installed before the
tobacco season and that
than 50 pounds will be dug.”
• County Agent Bowen of Sumter
said It was "Irrigation everywhere
f tarn.” And he showed me a 24-
faeh irrigation well that Glenn
Towery was putting down.
Remember, next summer won’t
be long in coming. Are you any
better prepared to avert drought
than during the past 4 years it
has taken its mighty toll over
most of the state? Clemson’s Her
man Lynn and your SCS man can
help you survey your prospects.
CATTLE BACK-RUBBERS
The first simple home-made
contraption for oiling the backs
of cattle to keep flies off I saw
was on C. P. Key’s place, in Col
leton, a few years ago. It consisted
of an old piece of steel cable
strung between two trees. It was
heavily wrapped with burlap.
Poison in oil was poured on this
every few days. The cattle soon
learned to go under it and rub
their backs on it. Plans for mak
ing and using this cattle back
scratcher will be found in Ex
tension Circular 392 at your
county agent’s office. A piece of
old heavy chain works as well or
better than the cable.
THE FARMER’S SHARE
Some interesting figures were
shown in the Farm Bureau’s ex
hibit at Clemson’s recent Farm
and Home Week. They show the
fallacy of those who accuse the
farmer of being the main cause of
the high cost of living.
For instance, the farmer gets
but 3c out of a 26c loaf of bread.
He gets 2c for the corn that goes
into that 20c can of corn, 2%c for
the tobacco that goes into that
24c pack of cigarettes, 11c out
of that 39c a half pound of bacon
brings, and 30c of the $4.00 you
pay for a fairly good cotton shirt.
So you see, as is often pointed

["I REMEMBER"'
BY THE OLD TIMERS
From Joe Vire, Monticello, Ken
tucky: I remember when the fire
wood run low I would drive up old
Buck and Berry, throw a yoke
across their necks, take a chain
and ax and hike to the hills.
Later on when I wanted to take
my best girl to’ church, I would
hook Old Dobbin to the buggy and
away we would go.
After a while we got married.
Three boys arrived, three years
apart, and the buggy Wgas too amall.
so we bought a Model Tee and all
piled in and away we went.
Now. as we near the 80s. we just
sit on the front porch and watch
the world go by in V 8s and hear
the planes roar overhead. We have
witnessed changes from ox-cart to
airplane.
• * •
From Mrs. Martin Madison, Spo
kane, Washington: I remember
189? . . . that was the year I lost
my job with a Pullman, Washing
ton mercantile company that went
broke after farmers lost their
crops.
I went to Colfax, Washington, in
search of another job. My girl
friend and I went to the Palouse
River to watch the log drive come
in. I thought it would be fun to
take a walk out on the logs . .
slipped and fell between the logs
the logs were heavy and water
icy . my friend screamed ... a
young hunter passing nearby ran to
the rescue, diving deep under the
logs to bring me to safety.
PRIZE WINNING PARTNER
By Brad Monroe
out here, the farmer could give
his stuff away, as he often al
most does, and still it wouldn’t
make much difference in thd price
of most things. It is the packing,
transportation, services, and mar
gins added after it leaves the farm
that adds up so.
NO WONDER
I visited County Agent Gray of
Darlington in July. He said, “All
you hear is irrigation.”
No wonder. We saw parched
fields everywhere we went, except
the few places where irrigation
had blessed the land with plenty.
Oases in a dese#t, that’s what ir
rigated fields looked like over
South Carolina this year.
I saw a real oasis once. It was
atop a high rocky ridge in the dry
lands of Mexico. For hours on
end, the road wound across a hot,
dry, and uninviting cactus coun
try. At the top of a long gradual
rise, in a rugged outcropping of
rock, we saw a welcome clump of
greenery ahead. It invited a stop,
and most cars did. There, coining
from a crevasse in the rock, a
cool spring trickled out. An im
penetrable fence of thorny bush
kept the wild animals out of die
little pool that f formed there. The
run-off was carried to the out
side, through a trough cut in a
small pole, where it spilled into
an ancient mahogany trough hewn
from a great log. Indians and
animals from afar came there for
water, life giving water. An oasis.
We have ’em too. There will be
more.
know your Stole
J OHNNY and Jerry walked hast
ily away-from the railroad sta
tion and made their way up a nar
row, dark street that ran parallel
to the main one. They knew well
enough the reception accorded
vagrants by the town police, but
they had to eaL And 'eating was
much more likely in a small town
than H was in the open country.
Jerry took the lead being the
brains of the pair, and because his
partner knew from past experience
that when there was food to be
gotten no one could get it more
skillfully. Proceeding unobserved
for several blocks they turned into
a wider street. Then suddenly,
Johnny was yanked bodily to the
protection of a thick' hedge.
“What th’—*’, he started and
.then he heard voices. He peered
through the branches and gasped.
“Holy Smoke! Didja see that? Pi
rates n* knights n’ Indians.”
His partner grunted. VYa sap.
It’s a party. A masquerade.”
“With plenty to eat,” Johnny
moaned.
Jerry grabbed his arm. “How
would ya like some of that fancy
grub?”
“I’d like it fine but those people
ain’t good for a hand-out.”
“No? Listen. It’s a cinch. They’ll
think we’re in costume with our
beards and-all. Get it?”
’ Johnny shook his head. “They’d
get wise to me sure. I’ll stay out
here and keep a lookout.”
“Okay. I’ll sneak some grub out
the window to you and scram out
of there. So long.”
Johnny watched his pal walk
boldly up to the front door, knock,
and when it was opened, wave his
hand airily at a bored maid and
pass into the house.
“Some crust,” Johnny muttered.
Feeping to the shadows, he crossed
the lawn and reached an open win
dow. He could see Jerry at the re
freshment table drinking punch
and casting sidelong glances at
the sandwiches and cake. It took
quite a while because the food was
so popular, but finally Jerry seemed
to have gathered enough. He
strolled toward the open window
and gazed out into the night.
Johnny hissed up at him. “Pass
it down.” He grabbed the food as
it was dropped to him and dove
back into the shadows. Any mo
ment he expected Jerry to join him
but the minutes passed and he
didn’t come. He made his way
back to the window and peered
in.
“Good gosh,” he gasped. “They
got him.” Sure enough. The only
two men who had not been in cos
tume had Jerry firmly by the arms
and were leading him toward the
center of the room. He saw one
man raise his arm and call for
quiet. That was enough for Johnny.
He decided to go while the going
was good.
A disquieting thought suddenly
entered his rather slow mind. If he
hopped the next freight out of
town and left Jerry in the lurch,
his not always ample diet would
become even less ample. What
Jerry lacked in ambition he made
up for in ability to detect free food
,with all the skill of a hound sniffing
out rabbits. Gn second thought,
Johnny decided, he’d lurk around
town for a couple of days.
“Hey,” somebody called and
Johnny choked on a mouthful.
The voice came again. “Wait.
It’s me. Jerry. Where’s my grub?”
Johnny sighed with relief. “How
did you get away? I thought you
were headed for the pokey.”
“Naw. They didn’t catch on.
What about those sandwiches? Did
you save me any?”
“Here. But what about those
guys that grabbed you?”
“Oh, them. They were judges.”
“Was it one of them that gave
us ten days last time?”
“Not that kind of judge, you
dummy. They gave me first prize
because my costume was the most
re-realistic.”
“What’d they give you? Huh?
What was it? Dough?” /
“No dough. They gave me a
’lectric razor.”
Rev. Rabert H. Harper
Growing in Christum Loot.
Lrsson for Srptrmbrr 19: Mntthru
J: 43-48; f John 4: 11-19.
Goldm Text: Colossumt 3: 14.
' Jesus told his hearers that they
had heard by them of old time that
men should love their neighbors
and hate their enemies, but he
would give them a higher law,
that they should love their enemies
and pray for them that despitefully
used them and persecuted them.
Thus did he condemn a perverted
law and give them the higher law
of love.
Without this higher law jof love,
Christians would be no more and
do no more thqn others and would
be entitled to no reward for good
deeds. In order to grow in Chris
tian love, men must become like
God and be as perfect In their de
gree in the matter of love as God
Is' himself.
In the first Epistle of Jphn, we
find the writer setting before men
the high reason for their striving
toward perfect love. They must
love because God first loved them:
And by the Spirit of God dwelling
in them through faith, they may
attain unto a love that will bear
testimony to the fact that the Fa
ther hath sent his Son to be the
Savior of the world.
And with the love of God In the
heart, there will be no fear. and
nothing that will destroy the good.
For the love of God will bring men
into constant communion with him.

Sports Afield
(By TED KESTING)
For something that’s supposed
to be recreation, our field sports
are hedged in with an awful lot
of restrictions. It’s all too easy
to break a law wittingly or un
wittingly each time you go afield.
The beef is that the laws on
the statute books are too complex
and too many, are becoming more
complex and more numerous each
year, and are sometimes foolish
to the point of absurdity.
Here’s the situation: You buy
a license and get a leaflet con
taining a summary of the laws.
There is nothing wrong with this.
The summary ordinarily tells you
what is in season and whfen, out
lines a few major restrictions on
how game or fish can be taken,
and that’s all.
But now let’s say you get curi
ous about some point of law that
puzzles you, and you ask for one
of the larger booklets to "clari
fy” th6 laws. Man, you’re just ask
ing for confusion according to Bill
Wolf, who recently undertook a
study of game laws for Sports
Afield magazine.
When these publications are
complete reprints of statutes af-
fecting wildlife, they make sense
only to the legal mind and are
useful only to officials who must
deal with violators. When these
publications are summaries of
state statutes, they serve only to
annoy because they outline care
fully what you may not do and
seldom give a summary of what
you may do. }
Now you can’t convict a man of
any crime unless the law states
specifically what that crim§ is.
So it is necessary to say in the
laws themselves what "thou shalt
not.” But is it necessary to con
found the average sportsman with
this legalese?
tf the legal method of taking
fish and game is put forth clear
ly for public distribution, why
enumerate all the illegal methods?
It is just a waste of space; in
fact, the "thou shalt not” sections
of many codes are a complete
course on taking game by non
sporting methods, many of which
would not even occur to the aver
age law-breaker.
The least that we hunters and
fishermen with nonlegai minds
can ask is that when we buy our
licenses, our states will furnish
us a booklet telling us—in sim
ple English—only what is legal.
We can just assume anything else
is illegal.
In 1895 there were four motor
vehicles registered in the United
States.
