ELEAZER Clemson Extension Information Specialist BEAUTIFY SOUTH CAROLINA A delightful letter came from a lady of Abbeville. She points out that South Carolina is getting a lot of due publicity and is grow ing fast. But We have a lot of ugly and eroded spots by the road sides. and here and there old abandoned and tumbling- down houses to mar the landscape. How much more cheerful the scene would be if owners would do something about these sigps of decay, she points out. Fix up and paint some of the fences, too, she urges. And of roadside parks she speaks, after having seen them and used them on a trip last summer. “Oh, if South' Carolina had them too.” /, If we all would just pick up trash and beautify a bit, what a beautiful State we would have. Planting crepe myrtles along the highways, she urges, to make life more beautiful for those who have to travel much. She will be glad to know that our State is building roadside parks now. They are marked on the new highway mapi I notice there are 8 between Oconee state park and the state line. And Quite a few dotted at other strategic places over the state. I too have traveled quite a bit in recent years and used these pleasant roadside spots in other states to stop, picnic, and rest. Some states mark them ‘Picnic Area Blank Miles Ahead.” Then you can be prepared to stop before you run by it. Maintenance is essential. That’s why they click when the highway department put them in. have known local groups to put them in. But lack of maintenance soon caused them to fall into de cay and become snakey places. GETTING INFORMATION OUT In this day and time ,almost every day brings something new on the farm front. It is the job of the county agent to %et that out to his farmers. This is done in various ways. Practically all of our agents have weekly newspa per columns. They have radio and television programs, and they hold many meetings. Talking about. radio, County Agent Rogers of Florence tells me they have 12 15-minute pro grams a week. Now, folks that's three hours a week on the air. And they don’t just get on and gab either. Each program takes time to prepare. But their job is to reach the folks. And it pays, just like when they sit dawn and prepare their weekly newspaper columns.

C. 24 HOUR SERVICE Telephone 3 11 editorial folks over the country who have been sent for a year or more to many different countries of the world to help them set up a system for getting • information out to their folks. S<Sme countries have up-to-date research work and results. But their weakness has been getting it out to the farms. It slumbers in musty re ports and sees little of the light of day out in the fields where it could mean something. And these fellows tell me there are still oth er countries that don’t have the Information to start with. America’s agricultural greatness is largely attributable to the speed with which the findings of science are carried to the farm. FEEDER CALF SALES COMING Louis Cato, our livestock spec ialist, tells me the following feed er calf sales have been arranged for the early fall: September 20 York; September 21 Winnsboro; September 22 at Greenwood; September 23 Ooum- bla; September 24 Greenville; September 27 Walterboro; Sep tember 28 Lydia; and September 30 at Orangeburg. Many of our cattle growers are not equipped <to feed their young cattle out and they go from grass to the sale at that time. But more of our folks are beginning to feed their cattle and get the extaa pro fit that usually comes from a lit tle grain feeding. The local mar kets usually get sort of glutted with grass cattle in the fall when so many are being sold. Feeding these out on grain for 60 to 100 days usually pays. SHEEP For those of our time it is hard to realize we were once a rather important sheep state. Away back in 1850 the census shows us to have had 28$,551 sheep in South Carolina. ! They dwindled to practically nothing in our thne, about 4000 head in the whole state. I often speak of change, change, the constancy of change. And this ^applies to just about every thing, including sheep. For they too now show signs of coming back. We have, for the first time 4-H sheep clubs being start' Clemson is working with the b woolen mill at Johnsonville in conducting a sheep experiment or demonstration. CoqAty agents take farmers there to see it and they are impressed. Our man Gus DuRant told me the other day he had orders for over 300 ewes from interested farmers. That order a- lone will ‘almost double Ahe state’s sheep population. BOYS ARE THAT WAY By J. M. ELEAZER Last week I told you a bit about Colonel Frick’s drug store, that haven of delight at Chapin when I was a kid in the Stone Hills of the Dutch Fork. Now a little more. He had a black clock there on the counter with a slot in top. This clock had no blanks. You put your nickle in. It would strike and out would come a check. 'The check then paid for a 5 cent pur chase of any sort. Every now and then the clock would strike twice when you put your nickle in and ouf would drop two 5 cent checks. And on rare occasions. it would give three. But never a blank. Merchandis ing was sure honest then. Well, several of ns kids made a study of that fascinating clock. Soon we learned its cycle or sec ret. On the sixth nickle it would always- glye two, except on rare .Occasions, and then it would give three checks on the eighth nickle. We used this knowledge to great profit after that. We’d usually have our baths, put on clean overalls and shirt and. go to Chapin on Saturday af ternoons. And Just about every body else did too. So that clock at Colpnel Frick's drug store was kept busy. We’d sit around non chalantly and keep a count As soon as 5 nickles had been put in, if the customer finished there and walked away, we’d move in and drop our nickle. Usually two checks would cofne but and we had doubled, our purchasing pow er. But alas, sometimes the clock only gonged once.' Then we knew the second nickel from that would get 3 for sure. And we wouldn’t let anyone else in. Three of us had already pooled the 3 nickles we had to spend that day and we promptly fed the other two in. The last one always brought 3 strikes of the clock and 3 checks worth a nickle each. Each got his one check to spend as he saw fit. We had a mutual agreement on what we’d get with 1 the extra ones. And that was di vided equally out behind the store. Thus we three country boys had our first experience in high finance. And we thus muTti- plied our nickles for some years. But there was no accumulation of wealth from this fruitful opera tion. For we ate the whole pro ceeds up right that afternoon.
