M. ELEAZER — Ciemson Extension Information Specialist 'ij ^sgg fi OUT THERE ON THE LAND ‘ I ■ ' j, ’ • . a . ; •. Down in Clarendon, County Agent Grainger says, ‘This county has produced about 19,000 bales of cotton in 1954 as compared with 37,000 last year.” Drought was the difference. Even on cotton, we often pay for irrigation, whether we have it or not. And listen to McCord in George- town: “In spite of this being the driest of the 5 dry years in suc cession, we have some good Coast al Bermuda pastures. Some of these were started this year and produced two good cuttings of much needed hay, while others gave grazing rightf on through the great drought.” And Bowen of Sumter: "Despite the drought, we have had a num ber of excellent Coastal Bermuda, demonstrations where no irriga tion was used and the grass has received practically no moisture from rain.” I. Abrams of Marlboro: “Twenty- four mechanical cotton pickets are busily engaged in helping harvest our cotton crop. Good cotton samples has resulted from me chanically picked cotton.” Now King of Marion: “Irrigation continues to be a major topic of discussion among farmers. Twelve farm ponds and one well were completed this month. Eleven ir rigating systems are now' owned by 9 farmers. About 6 .additional ones will be purchased before next crop season.” THE WILD GEESE RETURN As usual, the wild geesa have come back to the Gaddy pond at Ansonville, N. C. Mrs. Gaddy wrote me the first 9 came on September 27. pig flights started arriving on the first cold weather in early October. And on the full moon that followed they started pouring in. Now thousands are there. These beautiful wild have learned through the years to treasure that safe haven. When I spent several hours there last winter viewing the strange sight, they even came up and ate corn from my hand. There and back is not over 7 a day’s trip from anywhere in South Carolina. Ansonville is 8 miles above Wadesboro, N. C. And Wadesboro is 18 miles from Chest erfield and about 50 from Lan caster. Ciemson started a similar refuge for \Hld ducks ond geese two years ago. Both are responding to good treatment there and are coming in increasing numbers to Lake Issa- queena. They come to both of these refuges along on full moon in October and leave on full moon in March for their northern sum mer feeding and breeding grounds. HE HAD TO BE SHOWN I like the story of the old fellow I heard about. He wasn’t much for new-fangled things. But eventual ly he sold his mules and got a tractor. But it was two years after that before he cut down a shade tree out there in the field. LOWEST COST NOT ALWAYS BEST You know the farmer who has * the lowest unit cost of production does not always make the most money. I now have in mind one of our Coastal Bermuda demonstra tions. The heavy fertilized part & creatures made hay at a fertilizer cost of about $9 a ton. The lightly fer tilized part made hay at a fertili zer cost of about $8 a ton. But the heavy fertilized part made twice as many tons. So when profits per acre were figured up, he made a lot more profit from the heavily fertilized Bermuda. After you put everything else into the making of a crop, it’s poor economy to fall down oh the soil fertility item that can make it all pay off best. And soil building, water conservation, erosion con trol, etc., all enter into that, along with fertilizers. IRRIGATION GROWTH Not many years ago I visited the High Plains of Texas when the early irrigation wells were being put down. Now they have 20,000 such wells that cost $100,000,000. These bring crop insurance through irrigation now to 2,000,000 acres of land. Ten years ago a very small per centage of the nation’s cotton crop was grown under irrigation. Now about half of it is. Not nearly half of the acreage. But close to half the production. For the irrigated cotton there, here, and everywhere makes so much more. Rev. Robert H. Harper Gofs Abtmdmru for Mms’t Need. Lesson for November 21: Pselms 104: 1-5/ 10-14, 24, 33. Golden Text : PsMms 24 : 1. In the Thanksgiving season we may well think ci. the fact that God is the great Creator and the Sustainer cd meat and of all things that he has made. Hie lesson brings the thought of the personal God whose wisdom is seen in all things in his universe. As was the writer of the book of Job, the Psalmist was impressed and awed by the wonders of creation and the order ly ongoing of things on the earth. Consider the sequence of the sea sons and the manner in which life is sustained for every living thing, from the least wild creature of the forest and plain to the man who is the crowning work of creation. The present writer admired the gor geous flowers in a florist’s place on St. Charles Avenue in New Orleans and remarked upon the great de velopment of certain kinds in re cent years. The florist said, “We can only get out of them what God put into them.** In developing beau tiful flowers from inferior forms, we can only do so by cooperation with the laws of their own growth, as fixed by the great Creator. Let us trust God to sustain us, as he sustained men in the ages gone with the manifold blessings of things around them. The har vest of the field is being added to by the treasures hid in the earth. And let us hope that uranium and other elements will not be used to destroy men but to minister to the arts of peace. Jesus enlarges the thought of God by teaching that God is our Father who will not turn a deaf ear to our cry.
