GRAIN AND STORAGE
Grain for early grazing was best
planted back in late August and
September. Now is time to plant
that part intended principally for
harvesting. However, It can be
grazed some in late winter and
early spring without hurt usually.
With extremely short grazing
and skimpy feed crops the past
summer, we are going to ever
more need the present grazing and
grain crops. We can see now that
winter winds will whistle through
jnany an empty barn, while hungry
cattle are lowing in the bleak
outside. And unless there Is some
grazing across the fence, they will
be hard to carry through.
Recent dry falls and rather
cold winters have made old Ab-
ruzzi rye stand out. It grows quick
er and faster than the other sorts,
and seems to make more growth in
weather too cold for the rest. But
be sure you get genuine Abruzzi.
For there are other ryes not nearly
as good for winter grazing here.
And talking about grain; we
grow a lot of it now. And our
yields are up a lot too from where
they formerly were. We have live
stock, poultry, turkeys, etc., that
we market it through. That calls
for storage, safe storage, so we
can get loans on it, if needed. Or if
we plan to sell it, the* buyer
doesn't want a year’s supply at
once. So it’s storage we need now.
There is some good commercial
-storage, like the million bushel
elevators at Estill. And farmers at
places, like Florence, have banded
together and put in their own
cooperative storage. Then many
others have put in on-the-farm
storage recently. There is some
government loan help on that. Ask
your county agent about it. May
and June will be here before you
know it. Too late to worry about
safe storage then. Many farmers
have paid for metal bins with pro
fits from storing one or two crops
of grain.
A TEXAS STORY
I never go down in Texas but
that I hear a few good ones. On
my last trip, they were talking
about planting cotton. The county
agent said they had a few fellows
who always planted too early. (Wfe
have ’em here too.) He said they
worked out a way to save those
fellows some money. They just
don’t put any seed in-the planter
the first time the^ plant.
Maybe I told you about the
northern woman on a train down
there remarking about the buz
zards we saw sailing/over the dry
lands out there. A Texas lady in
the group said, “In Texas we call
those sparrows.”
And the man in the drought
area got uneasy a))out the quality
of water in his well. He sent a
sample of it off to be tested. The
report came back showing only 30
percent moisture in it.
At one place they hadn’t had
any appreciable rain in 4 years.
Now when they spe^c of a three
inch rain they mean the drops fell
three inches apart.
And so the Texas tales go, al
ways refreshing.
FARM COMPLICATIONS
Farming sure ' can’t be done
with a forked stick any more. Mod
ern machines and complicated
techniques enter at every turn
now.
Take peaches for instance.
Once the seed was planted on a
terrace. And the usable peaches

Bible Comment:
Christianity
Must Spread
Outside Home
QNE of the greatest problems
^ of present-day life and so
ciety Is that of the hone.
It Is constantly emphasized
that at the root of juvenile de
linquency is poor homelife, with
lack of parental, guidance and
control, and often serious de
linquencies In the parents them
selves. Nor are such parental
delinquencies confined to the
poor, illiterate and underpriv-
iieged.
Careless, self-indulgent and
undisciplined parents, rich and
poor alike, must bear their share
of responsibility, but there is an
all-too-common tendency to
blame parents for everything.
The finest home has to contend
with forces and influences out
side of the home that tend to
offset all that it can do, and
these outside influences have
youth for longer periods than
the home itself. O ■
A more serious factor, how
ever, is the low standards of
conduct that are so widely preva
lent today. We live in a so-
called Christian land, and all
our religious 'institutions try to
typify ’ wholesome ideals, evi
denced in character and conduct.
Unfortunately, without being
pessimistic about it, or disre
garding wholesome Influence of
all these institutions, we must
face the fact that a widespread
secularism, materialism and low
morality is all too evident. And
this debasement of ideals seems
to have increased in recent years-
If youth could be surrounded
by the Christian standards and
ideals outside, as well as inside
the home, our problems would
not be nearly so acute.
came there for many years. In
sects, diseases, and commercial re
quirements eventually broke that
up. New and better sorts came,
and chemicals protected them.
Now comes hydra -cooli ng.
Peaches are allowed to get tree
ripe, chilled, and kept that way to
distant markets. Irrigation too is
entering the picture, to insure the
size and quality that sells best.
But both of these new things,
hydra-cooling and irrigation, cost
considerably. But tj>ey also pay
well. I know two rather small
farmers in Spartanburg who got
together and provided both of
these things at the cost of one.
One put in the hydra-cooler and
thb other the irrigation equipment.
Then each used and benefited from
both.
A good many expensive farm
operations can. be handled that
way. Combining and haying, for
instance. Neighborliness and the
right attitudes are all that’s need
ed.
SAILORS’ PATRON . . . Being

TN RECENT years we Americans
have become more and more
concerned with ‘loyalty.” The word
wasn’t coined during World War
n, but it has been used more in
the f past ten years than in a prob
able hundred years before. In these
times, maybe it's wise, to be loy
alty-conscious. I can’t say; all I
know I read in the papers.
Yet, I’ve been amused at some
of our slightly disloyal citizens for
years. Don’t get me wrong. I
haven’t known any spies or sabo
teurs. I refer tq folks who aren’t
loyal to “the old home town.”
I met a million during the war.
Long did I labor undei* the impres
sion that I was probably the only
small town boy in the Marine
Corps. The others came from Chi
cago. Pittsburgh, New Orleans,
New Yoi;k. It worried me, ‘until I
just happened to notice that these
fellows -dot their mail from ham
lets and smaller cities 50 or '00
miles from the metropolis they
called “home.”
I still meet these disloyal citi
zens. An up-and-coming executive
or businessman telle me he’s from
a town of, let’s say 20,000 popula
tion. A life-long friend later whis
pers he’s actually from Junction
Switch, population 266, where he
was born, raised and educated.
The only time he ever spent in
the city he claims as home was
on Saturday nights.
The thing that peeves me, too, is
‘the realization that one of these
days, should this guy make his
mark in the world, he will also
make a million bucks from a book
about his early life in Junction
Switch.
It isn’t fair to the 199 loyal Junc
tion Switchers who have claimed
him all along.

BOYS
THAT WAY
By J. M.
ELEAZER
II IMII I lH
I was the youngest of three. A
sister was oldest, then a brother,
and me.
They tell me I was never mean
as a kid, but had one bad hkbit,
that I got several whippings for.
When we had. our kid scraps,
they being the older hid the ad*
vantage. They would make me mad
and I’d use the only weapoh I
knew of. I’d kick them in their
shins.
Now, with the soft childhood
shoes of today, that wouldn’t be so
bad. But we wore little brog&ns
then, hard stiff shoes that made
even a light kick rather nasty,
specially on the shin-bone.
Once pur parents were away for
the night. Late that afternoon we
got in some sort of scrap. I kick
ed a few shins. They double-
teamed and gave me i good beat;
ing. That made me madder and I
still wanted to hurt them. Since
I couldn’t kick their shins, I at
tempted to run away, knowing that
would eventually worry them.
I went and sat out at the wood-
pile awhile, as dusk was falling.
When they were not looking, I
slipped down behind the wild plum
bushes and hid. As it got darker, I
saw them looking around for me.
Then they called. There was no
wrath In their voices then. Soon
they were just about frantic. I let
them soak for awhile. Then it was
getting a bit too dark for my com
fort too. So I sneaked around to
the front, went upstairs, ahd to
bed. They heard me and were at
ease again.
Next morning the sky was
bright, and the birds were singing.
We were too. For, thanks be, kids
can s so soon forget. And they
didn’t even tell on me when our
parents returned. \
