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.
I know quite a number of our

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.
