FARMS AND FOLKS

FISH BAITS
Clemson gets several hundred
requests a year from fishermen
over k the state wanting information
about live baits. They are answer
ed with copies of Fishery Leaflet
28, of the U. S. Fish and Wildlife
Service, entitled “Fish Baits—
Their. Collection, Care, Prepara
tion, and Propagation’. Your coun
ty agent usually has a few copies
on hand. But if he is out, you can
get them from us here at Clemson.
The fish-bait business has grown
a lot in recent years. The old way
of running down grasshoppers,
crawling around on the straw
hunting crickets, and digging for
worms doesn’t appeal to the mod
ern fisherman much. In fact, dur
ing the past four dry years, these
sources of bait all but dried up.
Now many of the confirmed fish
ermen grow their own bait. And
quite a few make a business out of
it.
NATURE PROVIDES
When the storm king blows,
great trees often go down, while
a slender weed will sometimes
stand.
I saw this after the great storm
Hazel laid waste to our beaches.
Not a house nor piece of furnish
ing was left on a long section of
front beach there. Even the light
poles were gone. Yet I saw a few
heads of sea oats after the storm
still dipping to the breeze right
there in the middle of it on a dune
that wasn’t washed away.
That sea oats was native there.
So was a lone palmetto I saw at
another place. But those houses,
light poles, stores, amusement
parks and the like were not attun
ed iby nature to the storm. So they
were swept away, leaving the fra
gile and graceful sea oats there on
the dune. And the stately palmetto
stood erect and alone where houses
had been.
Nature’s adaptations, wonderful!
SCUPPERNONGS AND CREPE
MYRTLES
Two plants typically southern,
crepe myrtles and scuppernongs!
Both are easy to grow here. One
supplies long-time beauty. The
other, delightful fruit in the fall.
Now is the time to set ’em out.
They can be gotten from nur
series. Or likely from a neighbor,
where a sprout has come of vine
taken root. Crepe myrtles grow
readily from cuttings made now.
And the muscadine type of grapes
is reproduced by layering the
vines.
Both of these are hearty plants
and respond well to a little atten
tion. Surely no southern home

RISING COSTS AND THE
REMEDY
Money saved for a “rainy day”
won’t buy much of an umbrella
now.
And on the farm, where we once
needed cents and dimes, it takes
dollars now.
Yes, when a fellow gets his
crops laid by now, he has his for
tune staked out* there in the fields.
The average man employs enough
of the developed know-how to
make a pretty good crop. And he
usually makes it, IF HE GETS
THE WATER!
We are fast beginning to look
into that last item. Water conser
vation for use has become the
livest of farm subjects in South
Carolina. County agents are hold
ing irrigation schools. At the
morning session the experts dis
cuss the whole wide range of wa
ter conservation and use. Then in
the afternoons the group gets out
J on a tour where pond (building, ir-
Our daily mixed freight and pas
senger train got to Columbia at
11 a.m. and left at 5 p.m. from the
crossing down on Gervals Street.
There was no semblance of a de
pot. We usually went down about
4 to be sure and be there in plenty
of time. The coach was always
waiting. And when it was cold, old
“Rabbit”, the porter, had the
stoves red hot.
One afternoon I saw our magis
trate, Mr. Tom Raught, coming
down Gervais Street pushing one
of those old side-arm cotton plant
ers, with his bundles in the hop
per. They put it in the baggage
car. Up near where I was to get
off, the railroad passed right
through his farm, with his house
bitting back up there on the hill.
They stopped right there by his
field road, put the planter off for
him, and as we chugged on up the
road I saw him pushing the cottoh
planter full of bundles up through
his field to the house.
Once my father went to town
with me, as we had right much
shopping to do. One of the things
we got was our first of those little
sheet iron heaters, “trash burn
ers” we called ’em. It was light
and held about two bushels. So we
just carried it. As we shopped we
put the bundles in it.
That afternoon Mr.. John Mc
Cain, the conductor, saw us com
ing with that stove. To have a lit
tle fun he said, “Hey there, what
you going to do with that stove?
You can’t put it in there. It’s not
baggage.” To which my father re
plied, “The dickens it ain't. Man,
look, this is my suitcase.” And he
showed it to him, full of packages.
More about our train next week.
rigation in operation, etc., are
seen.
Experiment stations In this and
other Southeastern states have
multiplied their efforts towards
getting the answers about efficient
water use on crops. The SCS men,
Clemson engineers, and county
agents are up to their ears in
servicing calls to farms relative
to irrigation. /
So, at long last, onr greatest un
developed production potential,
supplementary irrigation, is begin
ning to come firmly into the farm
picture. It carries a measure of
yield insurance that onr harvests
haven't had before. And when that
is done we will be in far better
position to cope with modem ex
penses that show little if any signs
of lessening.
We get business by going after
it, but #e keep it by delivering
what we promised.
