AID FOR CROP DISASTER AREAS
To help alleviate the effects of the freeze to fruit and
vegetable crops in South Carolina, the U. S. Department
of Agriculture has declared producers over the entire state
elligible for emergency loans. But this is not enough, and
I am trying to secure legislation to go further. Our farm
operators and workers need additional acreage in other crops
that can still be planted.
During the past week, I joined Senator Richard Russell
(D-SC) and several other Southern Senators in co-spon
soring a bill that would authorize the Secretary of Agricul
ture to accomplish this. It provides that no crop quota would
be increased more than 500,000 acres or three per cent of
the national quota as already determined for the year.
The Secretary would be authorized to increase allotments
for the farm operator when he determines that the normal
production from the farmer’s crops is insufficient to provide
a livelihood for him and his workers. The acreage would
be increased to enable the operator to produce sufficient
agricultural commodities to continue farming operations.
The bill covers disasters caused by drought, flood, hail,
frost, freeze, wind, insect infestation, plant disease, or
other natural cause.
The additional acreage alloted under this bill would be in

addition to county, state, and national allotments for the
year and would not count in establishing future allotments.
Senator Russell and I have urged speedy action on the
measure so it can be of some benefit to our farmers this
year when it is most needed. /
YELLOW GRITS POURS IN
More than a year’s supply of yellow hominy grits has
been sent to Jean and me since I mentioned the scarcity
here in Washington. We have so much now that we’ve de
cided to teach Washingtonians and other legislators to like
them.
We’re turning some of our generous supply to the Senate
dining room with instructions to serve some to all Senators
and visitors. Maybe yellow grits will not be so scarce in
the nation’s capital after this.
S. C. FESTIVAL PARTICIPANTS WIN
South Carolinians participating in the Cherry Blossom
Festival have walked off with top honors again this year.
The Myrtle Beach float won the grand prize, Winyah High
of Georgetown captured first place among bands in the
parade, and Spartanburg High won third prize in band com
petition earlier in the day. » S
Pretty Suzzane Young of Greenwood, our State’s Cherry
Blossom princess, did our State proud. She received hearty
applause when she passed the reviewing stand atop the
Myrtle Beach float.
It was my pleasure to call their achievements to the
attention of the Senate on Friday.
In addition to these prize winners, bands from Conway,
Honea Path, Bishopville, Union, Lancaster, Darlington,
Hartsville, Beaufort (two), York, Lake City, Pickens, West
minister, Greenwood, and Summerville turned in outstand
ing performances in the Thursday night parade in the
nation’s capital.
“A wilderness area may be de
fined as a country of solitude
where Nature is at its best, a
country free from destruction
wrought by man and the sights
and sounds of modern civilization.
In few regions of the world are
found such varied and priceless
retreats and masterpieces of Na
ture as lie along the crests of the
Appalachian Mountains in our
East, and the Cascade, Sierra
Nevada and Sierra Madre Moun
tains in our West” So claims
Col. Townsend Whelen, camping
editor of Sports Afield magazine.
“Along the trails that traverse
these, the lovers of the unspoiled
outdoors can wander, pitch their
little camps and open up their
sleeping bags under pine trees, in
view of gorgeous peaks, in crisp
air, in solitude and silence except
for the singing of the birds,, the
tinkling of running water, and the
swish and hum of wind through
the trees.” And all this is free to
all of us, with no taint of com
mercialism, no license, no guides
charge. Our only .obligation is
to’ keep this country clean and
unharmed.
The Appalachian Trail is a
footpath extending for 2,050 miles
from Mount Oglethorpe in Georgia
to Mount Katahdin in Maine. It
crosses the wilderness areas along
the crests v of the Great Smokey,
Blue Ridge, Allegheny and Catskill
Mountains, through the Berkshire
Hills, the Green and White
Mountains, and finally the lake
and mountain country of Maine.
This trail is a volunteer recre
ational project. It is supervised
and maintained by the Appa
lachian Trail Conference with
headquarters at 1916 Sunderland
Place, N. W., Washington 6, D.
C. On receipt of 35 cents in c6in
the Conference will mail a
pamphlet, “Suggestions for Ap
palachian Trail Users,” whicfh
gives other information anfl lists

jump.
The girls junior division will

The Pacific Crest Trailway ex
tends from Canada to Mexico for
a total of about 2,156 miles, pass
ing through many national forests
and parks, and skirting the most
famous mountains—Ranier, Adams,
Hood, Shasta and W r hitney. It
passes through Sequioa and Yose-
mite Parks. It has been built and
is maintained by the U. S. Forest
Service and the National Parks
Service.
It is not a trail for picnic
parties; it is a wilderness trail
way for expert backpackers — a
‘true nature trail”. To publicize
it the Pacific Crest Trail System
Conference was organized' with
headquarters at Pasadena, Calif.
The Sierra Club, 1050 Mills Tow
er, San Francisco 4, has done
much to bring public attention
to the trail. Both publish numerous
bulletins and books on the "trail.
