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.

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.

The 1955 Pontiac is getting a royal welcome. “It’s
hot,” they’re saying, ‘'the hot car of the year.”
And no wonder! With its Vogue Tyro-Tone styling
and Strato-Streak V-8 engine, Pontiac wraps up
more beauty, luxury, size and power than a like
amount of money ever bought before. The price is
near the lowest, but the car is way out front in
everything that makes an automobile grea
The reason lies in the achievement General
Motors is now celebrating—the vast experience
gained in building 50 million cars. Research expe
rience that uncovers what you want and
Design experience that creates new trends. Engi
neering experience producing more doUar-for-
dollar quality year after year.
