'.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

ground, or what.
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? .

The Years Between
And Accomplishment
I
These are the short and precious years that belong to ns as parents.
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.
