THURSDAY, JANUARY 20, 1955 FARMS AND FOLKS By J. M. ELEAZER ClemfcoA Extension Information Specialist iii '.A FORTUMATE FACT The great drought last sum mer drew just about all of the moisture from the soil and sub soil to the surface and evaporated it away. That left a lot of plant food the ground water contained there on the surface. As Clemson’s Hugh Woodle pointed out at the time, heavy rains following the great drought would sure take a lot of fertility away. For the dry clay won’t take water fast Eventually rain did come in late November and early December, about S inches at Clemson. It came very gradually, primed the dry soil, and continued its gradual fall, with every bit going; in. Thus the fertility Woodle was talking about was largely carried back into the soil and saved. And grasses felt it and greened up quick before hard weather finally came. GOOD CORN MEAL I kow of no common product that varies more in quality than corn meal. You recall the sort your family used to get from the select corn you shucked, shelled by hand so as to leave out all damaged grains, and took to the old mill down on the creek. Corn bread and other things from that carried the true aroma and taste of the corn. It’s hard to find that sort of meal now. I don't know if it’s the sort of corn they use, how it is ■i ■ * 1 \ I V- • . i ■ fl ■V j al Estate LOAN TO BUILD.

After trying all around, wfe found a little mill away back near the mountains that still puts out meal that'tastes like it used to. And corn bread made from it is really something to eat. A lot of mighty good things can be made from good corn meal. And it’s one of the cheapest of foods. As a better balanced food, nutritionists tell us, it was vastly improved some years ago when Dr. Lease of Clemson worked out our present method of enriching it. County and home agents carried on educational work about this, a law was passed requiring it, and other states and several countries have follow our lead In this. A WATCH FOB Back in the 10’s and 20’s every man, specially young men, with a watch had a fob. That wae before wrist watches came. That fob was a little metal shield or something dangling from the watch on a leather band. And it was what you pulled the watch out of your pock- etwith. Some also had the watch tied with a chain or piece of raw- hide to a suspender button or belt loop for added safety. I don’t believe I’ve seen a watch fob in over 25 years. Don’t imagine they are even made any more. Change, change, the constancy of it. IRRIGATED BEANS Last summer was awful dry in Kentucky, as here. They had an experiment with snap beans. The irrigated part made 487 bushels per acre. The unirrigated part made no beans at alL Dr. Barnes, at our truck station near Charleston, tells me he has seen as little as one irrigation at a critical time make the difference between a good truck crop and one at all there. . SAFETY With all the mechanical gadgets we now have, “Safety” has taken on new meaning. Most farm ma chines you get have a list of safety suggestions with them. We will do well to study them. For many ma chines can be killers if you don’t know their danger points. And good roads and high pow ered cars, many hazards lie there. Our highway folks and civic bodies and other groups of individuals are working hard to make our highways safer. And they are get- ing results too. Since 1940 our car mileage has more than* doubled. Yet our highway death rate has been cut more than half!. But we still have a long way to go. Practi cally all highway accidents are man-made. And that means we can do something about them. But pre venting them, like with farm ac cidents, is everyone’s problem. We all need to carry safety in our minds. Then many of us will prac tice it and live, longer? .

From birth to age 18. After that our children move out into the influences of a world for which we have tried to prepare them. All we would do to justify their faith in us, and our hope for them, must be done while they need us. If we fail them once, we cannot go back again into their lives at that point to repair the damage. /• . . , ct * ''•*! The cost today of rearing a child from birth to age 18 is $11,641 in the average income family—$53.89 a month. What the mother contributes to the home in labor and management is not included. How much would it cost if the father had to hire someone to do for his children all the mother does, in case of her death? How much time could a mother devote to her children if she had to earn her living and theirs, if their father died prematurely? A SAVINGS ACCOUNT can’t replace parents. But it does help either one of them, alone, to do the job of both. OPEN ONE TODAY. , ^ <■» 1 >-« NEWBERRY Savings & Loan Ass 1223 College Street JOHN F.
