FARMS AND FOLKS
By J. M. ELEAZER

SYDUP MAKING
In this changing world, the art
of syrup making has about gone
from our farms.
It hasn’t been long since sorghum
patches were found on most farms
of the mid and up-state. And
syrup mill was active in practical
ly every community.
But now all of that has changed.
Last fall I saw only one cane mill
operating. And it had just made a
little sorghum syrup for that man.
I stopped to see if I could get
some. He said what little he had
to spare was taken by folks who
had stopped by as I had, almost
before the stuff got cold.
The past fall I rode a lot over
our Lowcountry. Up to a few
years ago you would seldom be
out of sight of green sugarcane
patches there at that season. This
time I saw one patch, only one.
And nowhere did I happen to see
sugarcane syrup being made.
Now I know more is still being
made than I saw, for I didn’t
travel every road. But the point
is, a practice that was once com
mon is now very rare.
I happened to stop by a crossr
roads store in the Upcountry. Saw
a lone unlabeled half-gallon jar
there on the shelf. Asked and
found it was sorghum syrup. I got
it. The man said it was the last
of 71 gallons he had made. He
sold it quick at $3 a gallon.
I know there is a lot of labor
and trouble connected with • syrup
making. But it does look like more
folks would find it Worth while
to make some at that price. It was
50c a good many years ago.
The tendency of the times is
towards specialization, with less
of the live-at-home we once knew.
Each produces what he can best,
and he buys the rest. I’m not argu
ing it one way or the other, but
just reporting what I see.
PAID FOR IT
I’ve been telling you along
about the 12 acres of land Olin
Helms of Lancaster has been ir
rigating there below-his pond by
gravity. He got a small sprinkler
system last summer, County Agent
Cannon tells me, and it paid for
itself there on truck the first
year. He also made 147.2 bushels
of corn
summer.

Wallace’s Farmer says; "Lin
coln was greqi, not because he
was born in a log cabin, but be
cause he was able to get out of it.'
And; "A marriage license is like
a deer hunting license. Each en
titles you to just one, no more."
Also; "In the past 50 years the
use of wheat has dropped from 230
pounds to 140 pounds per person."
It takes a lot of stuff to run
this country. Look at bags, for
instance. Over 600 million are used
each year just to carry livestock
and poultry feed to the farms in.
Insects! Man, there are a lot of
'em. I’m told that as many as 200
million can live well on one acre
of land. And Wallace's Farmer
says 4 tons of aphids (lice) have
been found on an acre of alfalfa.

A CHRISTMAS story in January
—or it really happened to me:
As usual, 1954 Christmas buying
was put off around my house until
tiie last minute. Time was short
indeed when I contacted Santa
concerning file toy tractor he was
to bring my young son. Other
matters pressing at the time,
Santa and I put the unassembled
toy in the garage until Christmas
Eve.
On the night before Christmas,
we slipped out quietly, with screw
driver, to put the machine to
gether. We opened the box. Alas!
of the tractor was missing!
Santa and I were in a dither.
It was nine o’clock. What to do?
What to do? We hopped into the
tamily's four wheel sleigh for a
tour of the toy shops. All were
closed. We searched and searched.
Only after almost giving up did
we locate a similar, but more
costly tractor—at an all-night fill
ing station. Santa paid the price
and we took the machine home,
where he gently placed-it beneath
the tree.
The story could have had an
unhappy ending. There might have
been no tractor beneath the tree
on Christmas mom —- or Santa
might have been stuck with a
half a tractor. Neither happened.
The first tractor to the toy shop
for a refund. So all ended well.
However, there is a moral to
the story: Shop early, then check
carefully what you buy to see if
it is all there.
And, also a warning. If it’s not
all there, take it back at once.
The place where Santa obtained a
refund on the incomplete tractor
burned to the ground the very
next day after he returned the toy.

many fish there in that boundless

migrating south for the winter. At
other times there are nowhere
near that many fish there.

FLY CONTROL
County Agent Mason of Berkley
told me they got good results from
their fly control demonstration
last summer. The extension ser
vice put on these demonstrations
in all counties. The agents report
ed uniformly good results.
The fly season will be here
again before long. Your county
agent has the details for killing
them. ".V.
As a kid, I was frightfully afraid
of the dark.
But at home it never bothered
me. For I went to sleep before
the lamp was blown out and was
then all right until day.
Once my mother was in the hos
pital, and they sent us to grand
ma’s. I liked it down there. But
before that we had always gone'
back home at night. But this time
we had to stay. We slept in a shed
room in which the window didn’t
have a sash. So the shutter was
pulled tight shut and latched at
night. And that made it black
dark in there. Not even a star nor
faint beam from the moon could
be seen in that void of utter black
ness.
1 couldn’t go to sleep promptly,
as usual. And soon there was
snoring in the adjoining room. I
could see all sorts of monsters
in that room, and I felt like the
oppressive darkness would choke
me. I’d open my eyes, and theu
shut them. It made no difference.
I wanted someone else to wake
up. But was scared to speak out
and wake them.
It seems I stewed in that broth
for endless hours, until at long
last, blessed sleep overcame me.
I’d then sleep late. But Hie wel
comed light of day was marred
every time the dismal thought of
approaching night came upon me.
That went on for about 10 days.
