USING OUR TIME
Someone has figured out just
jjKmt how a fellow who lives 70
yean spends his time.
To start with, he figures 20
yean of it will be used sleeping
and 20 working. Then 7 years will
be consumed in walking and at
outdoor sports. And the same
amount at Movies and other
amusements, like radio and tele-
vJakm.
Fire years will be used up shav
ing and dressing, 2.5 eating and
aitting at the table, and 2.5 smok
ing and chewing gum. Two years
wrUl be spent playing cards and
other games, 3 years waiting for
someone, and one year at the
telephone.
Another fellow told me he fig
ured it this way; he would spend
a third of his life in bed. There
fore he wanted a comfortable bed.
He traveled, and would therefore
q»end a third of his life in a car.
So he wanted a good car. Those
were his two main requirements, a
good bed and a good car. Then he
figured he’d feel all right messing
around the balance of the time.
Some say the farmer works
moi'e than a third of his time. And
I think some do. But not many
folks put in more than an aver
age of 8 productive hours- of work
on an average.
Work, play, and sleep, about a
third of our time normally goes to
each. So each is really important
while on this sojourn here. Where
many farm folks fall down on this
Is in fruitful and relaxing play.
Cards, shuffleboard, checkers,
horseshoes, dominoes, croquet, and
the like. Nothing is better than
games to get the family close to
gether and build interests of all
there in and around the home.
4-H teaches a lot of this in the
Clubs and at summer camps.
EARLY PLANTING
Any time a Texan gets up, he
generally has at least one good
story. I was at a belt-wide cotton
meeting in Arkansas. A man from
Texas was talking about the ten
dency to plant too early.. He said
some folks just would. So they
worked out a way these fellows
can save some money. They just
don’t put any seed in the plant
ers the first time or two they
plant.
I knew exactly what he was
talking about.
We have a few early planters
everywhere. In the county where
I was county agent a long time.
We had a fellow that always
planted some cotton in February.
I recall only one time he got by
with it. And then the little sick
ly, sore-shinned, ’possnm-eared
stuff never looked like anything
until warm weather came. And
then he had a ragged stand left
that didn’t make as much as early
April plantings. And he had to
w r ork it that much longer.
Mr. D. R. Coker once told me
that April 10 was their signal to
start the cotton planters there at
Hartsville. They spent the time
up to then getting the land in per
fect shape, getting the fertilizer
down and mixed in the soil, and
letting the beds settle a bit too
if possible.

Not many stretches of our At
lantic coastline are still much
the way they were when first
sighted by white men—-wild and
primitive, the home ‘of fighting
game fish and migratory water-
fowl. One of the few such “age
less” sections is the region off
North Carolina known as the Out
er Banks. This area has nqw been
set aside and preserved for all
time as our nation’s first national
seashore.
We have many national parks,
but the Cape Hatteras National
Seashore is the first effort to keep
intact and unspoiled a bit of coast
to remind Americans what the
New r World used to look like. The
area runs along the coast for about
70 miles and will contain 28,500

acres.
Nags Head . . . Walebone . . .
Oregon Inlet . . . the sands of Hat
teras . . . Ocracoke—these are hal
lowed names to surf casters and
big-game anglers. To the hunting
fraternity they mean ducks and
geese that follow the Atlantic fly
way.
News that the region is being
turned into a national seashore
may come as a shock to them—all
this will be lost to them forever!
But that isn’t true. In fact claims
Bill Wolf ''in an article In Sports
Afield magazine, turning the Hat
teras country into a national sea
shore occurred just in time to keep
this sportsman’s paradise more or
less as it was.

In the last 15 years some dis
tressing changes have taken place
there—the extension of “civiliza
tion.” But now modern develop
ments will be restricted to specific
areas around the few existing
towns in the 70-mile stretch.' The
rest of the area will be kept as it
is, except for a few bathing beach
es and campsites that the National
Park Service will provide and
maintain. Fishing and hunting
will continue almost unchanged.
You can reach the new na
tional seashore by highway, by
air (there is a good land strip
near Manteo on Roanoke Island),
by the Inland Waterway, or by
ferry to Ocracoke. The National
Park Service is constructing, or
will construct, parking areas to
give access to the beach from the
paved highway. Camping sites,
hiking trails, and swimming
beaches eventually will be includ
ed, and boating and sailing will be
encouraged. AH the. rest will be
preserved as a wilderness area.

experiment stations too shows that
it does not pay to plant cotton too
early. For cotton is a warm weath
er plant. And it’s no use fooling
with it until the soil warms up.
We can well spend that time get
ting the seed-bed in perfect con
dition, as Mr. Coker suggested.
And there is a best time to plant
all crops.
BUTCHERIN' TIME
One thing I always liked about
winter is butchering time.
Late years have seen less of it
on the farms than of yore. There
are many reasons, good reasons,
for that. But, according to my
notion, there is one awfully good
reason why we should do some
butchering, And that is a COUN
TRY HAM!
In ail the realm of meats, to me
none touches or comes near a
good country ham. It is tops, by
far. And it's a pity that fewer and
fewer folks get a hold ^f it any
more. Many have lost the art of
curing good hams. Fred Heitfer
son of Ninety Six is making a
business out of it. You can cure
’em too. Just follow directions in
Clemson’ Extension Bulletin 77,
Pork for Carolina Farms.” It’s
free at your county agent’s of
