ELEAZER Clemson Extension information Specialist RAT BAIT EFFECTIVE County Agent Ezell of New berry says very few signs of rats or mice have been seen on co operating farms since their pois oning 'campaign last winter. And he says the folks want another one this fall. foods by enrichment. That means adding certain minerals and vita mins at milling time. This, you will recall, was worked up by Clemson’s Dr. Sease. Now he tells me a similar prodess has been perfected for enriching rice. These cereal foods are eaten „ , , . . . rather heavily in South Carolina. Science has surely worked out improvement of their quality the remedy for rats. Widespread is great step in improved nu- use .of this bait is best. For rats ^rRitm for the masses. 1 "** \ , TJ * V, V, 1 l Milk is another fine food that clean premises. But when a whole community hits ’em at the same time, you usually get some rather lasting results. And it takes an organized campaign to do that.

Adams, for the winter, spent the Easter weekend with his parents in Saluda, N. C. Miss Martha Counts of Savan nah, Georgia spent the Easter holi days with her mother, Mrs„ H. E. Counts, Sr. Mrs. J. B. Hunt of Spartanburg, spent the weekend with Mrs. A. B. Hunt. Mr. Hunt and* Misses Ja net and Joan Hunt, who had been in Prosperity for a week, returned with Mrs. Hunt. TRENCH SILOS AND STRAW County Agent Bob Bailey of Richland says quite a few of his farmers dug trench silos back in the slack months of winter for storing’ the lush clippings from spring and early summer pastures. Droughts have taught them the need for this. And another thing we are sure to see this year is the baling or stacking of more grain straw. For when drought strikes, as it has for the pdst four years, that stuff sure comes in good. Not only to tide over parched summer pas tures, but to keep the ribs of the cattle from showing when winter winds whistle through barns made bare by drought. Where mechanization has taken hold, both of these tasks are made easy. The overgrown pastures are clipped with a silage harvester, the clippings blown into a dump truck, and then jumped right into the trench silo and packed down by the truck itself. And the oat straw can be windrowed and got ten by a pick-up baler. We are getting well along with -cattle. A reserve of roughage'is a necessary insurance against hav ing to sacrifice cattle when droughts take current feed crops. The past winter was a good ex ample. Silage from spring's sur plus pasturage or straw that was burned or turned under ' would have served a farm well last win ter. This spring is the time to pro vide for that in the immediate fu ture. And if you don’t happen to need it this time, it Will keep. There will be.a time you will neeg is short in our average diet, the experts tell us. Young folks spec ially need it.

Your it. TURKEYS IN S. C. Gene Mathis, extension turkey specialist, tells me we grew 1,- 391,932 turkeys in South Carolina last year. This was 74,783 more than the year before. However, in 1953 there were 304 commercial turkey growers, whereas *in 1954 there were only 281. This is in accord with the usual pattern of things now. Mass pro duction is the trend of the times. With fewer and fewer folks on the farms, they are specializing and growing a lot more stuff per mtui. The growers have worked very close with the scientist in this With Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Ballen- turke y developmept. We have two turkey specialists, one stationed in Columbia and ojie- at York. The poultry farm at Clemson has done a lot of work with turkeys, and the State Livestock Sanitary Of fice at Pontiac works very closely with the industry on disease and insect detection and control. Chesterfield county led last year with 317,677 turkeys raised, and York was second with 250,900.

Also, 6,478 tobacco plant beds. This year's figure will likely far ex ceed that. More crop from the same acres by coil insect and disease control! It’s good business. * BOYS ARE THAT WAY It’s funny what ideas children sometimes get. For a dong time I thought my Aunt Missouri was named that because they went to a different Lutheran Church, one that be longed to the Missouri Synod. We boys were sitting on a log there in front of the country store one summer day about half asleep. Suddenly one of ’em said, “Well I be-dog.” We said, “What?” He had been looking at an old Coca Cola sign tacked there on the store and said he had always thought those words on it were “delicutions and refrigerating” in-, stead of “delicious and refreshing”. Not that he knew what they meant. But he had just always accepted them meaning something extremely good. He did know what “delicious arid refreshing” meant and was much gratified upon clearing that matter up. We really had a laugh about that Hearing the old folks talk so much about the Confederate War, and specially grandpa, I knew all about it, from our standpoint. Grandpa was deaf, very deaf, and no one could stop him when he started on the oft-told tales of whipping the very lard out of the Yankees on many a battle field. I gathered from it all that we real ly beat them into the dust, and I gloated with him over the great victory. Folks were really still living that war then and hating the Yankees with venomous, un quenched zeal. Raised in that atmosphere, imagine my utter consternation and bewilderment when I got to that point in my history hook that sort of reluctantly admitted that we sort of lost that war. I could not believe it at first. And it de pressed me a lot I had' to get assurance from parents before I would accept it. But my childish satisfaction was pacified a hit when grandpa told me, “Yes, but .they had four times as many men as we, and we got two or three of theirs for every one of ours.” That experience still stands as my greatest childhood delusion. slides to illustrate his address. On Sunday morning. Dr. J. P. McCallie, of Chattanooga, will speak on the subject, . "Forward With Christ In Fifty-five.” Fol lowing a brief business meeting and installation of officers, Mr. David W. Proffitt, of Maryville, Tennessee, will speak on the sub ject "Christianity Unlimited.” About five hundred delegates are expected for this conference, representing every U. S.
