ELEAZER Clemson Extension Information Specialist IRRIGATION IN MARION AND HORRY Irrigation is making fastest beadway on tdbacco. When I was with County Agent King of Mar lon in early May it was dry. We saw irrigation running in a num ber of fields on our rounds. And, we dropped by an equipment deal er there. They were working over time getting out 9 irrigation sys tems they had sold that day. He said he laid awake at night back In the late winter and early spring when it was raining for he had 9200,000 stocked in irrigation equipment there in his warehouse. But when the first four week’s drought of the season hit in April and early May, that stock faded away in a little while and he had to order a lot more. King said they were checking the water in a lot of their wells and ponds. They were fearful that some of it had enough chlorine and lime* in it to call for cautious use on tobacco. And down in Horry,! found Ag ent Johnston and those working on the same problem. Most of tbe samples of water they had sent to Clemson for analysis showed e- nough chlorine to call for caution on tobacco. They want about 25 pounds of chlorine per acre under tobacco and they get that in their special fertilizer mixtures. Then an additional amount in ir rigation water could be hurtful to the quality of the tobacco. Benefits from irrigation on to bacco hare proved so great that folks will likely learn to leave some of the needed chlorine out of their tobacco mixtures where the crop is to (be irrigated with water containing chlorine. 0 Our tobacco specialist, J. M. Lewis, tells me this whole mat ter needs to be watched and the right thing done. GOOD FARMERS McCallum Brothers of Dillon are real farmers. They had ten tractors in the field, and twenty metal bins for grain storage. • They use the pre-merge chemi cal treatment to keep weeds and grass out of their cotton and soy beans, and said they’d hate to try to farm now without it. Army worms got in their grain the past spring. County Agent Livingston said Toxaphene really cleaned them up. Those fellows live very close to acience. I’ve never been to their farm but that I saw the very lat est things being done, and done right!. “Done right!” Those two words carry a lot of meaning. So often we see expensive farm practices being done so contrary to directions that we know little if any good is being accomplished. If it’s a machine, folks, direc tions for efficient operation come with it. It it’s a remedy, direc tions come with it. Those direc tions, faithfully followed, form the only channel of assurance you have for results from your ef forts and expense. To take the findings of science or of the inventor and then dis regard their carefully worked out directions for effective use ^ fol ly indeed. We had often as well be out playing in the sand. As, for instance, I’ve seen folks dus ting cotton away up in the day, when the poison rose from the field with the heat and drifted away rather than settle on it, as it does during the early hours. Study directions. They are not written lightly. The scientist works them out very carefully to make his idea plain and his in vention work. Disregard them, and you had as well disregard the remedy, ok* whatever it is. SHEEP THEN AND NOW The census shows we had 285,- 551 sheep in South Carolina away back in 1850. By 1880 the number had dropped to 118,889. And in the good year 1955 they had dwindled to a mere 4000. Now, Iboy, that’s a change for you! But change is constant, rem ember. And now we see signs of sheep coming back. The vast woolen mills have oome and are still coming. One of these promotes sheep, with the cooperation of Clemson. And' county agents are organizing 4-H sheep clubs here and there. (You will recall, a new emphasis on corn, hogs, beef cattle, dairying, and poultry was started here in similar manner, by 4-H taking the lead and growing up a lot of farmers with the know-how.) Gus DuRant tells me adult far mers too are putting in sheep. Our sheep more than doubled the past year! Miss Dorothy Anelle Ruff Bride of Newberry Lawyer BOYS ARE THAT WAY By J. M. ELEAZER Last week I told you of the horseshoe nail we boys always had in j the treasures carried in our pockets in the Stone Hills of the Dutch Fork as kids. It was for a nut pick, and there is none better. A collection of other things was standard with us too. We always had some sort of knife. But they were easy to lose, and cost a lot in our money. So often a boy was without one and felt awful droopy and dejected. For he just wasn’t equipped for operation then, and had to borrow often. And we didn’t like to loan our knives much. I recall the one I got once, ordered off and got it from J. Lynn. That was a little mail or der house away out yonder some where,, far from our frontier in the Stone Hills, a sort of magic place. And this one had a chain on it!* My, that was grand, and the envy of boys thereabouts. That chain was not only shiny and (beautiful, but it added se curity to that knife. I was coming down the mulberry tree there be low our place one day. I jumped the. last six feet. That chain got caught on a limb and broke, as my tough overall suspender where it was attached, would not yield. Now that was a small calamity that loomed large to me. I went to my mother, as usual, feeling like all was lost. She got a piece of tough linen thread out of her sewing basket and tied it as se curely as it was before. Life then took on a different hue, and 1 went on down to the creek with the Other kids, rejoicing. Next week we’ll look further into the mysteries of a country boy’s pockets. Miss Dorothy Anelle Ruff dau ghter of Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Nolan Ruff of Newberry, became the bride of Walter Th*omas Lake son of Mr. and Mrs. Edwin O. Lake of Newberry, June 26 at 8:30 p.m. at Ldbanon Methodist church with Rev. R. M. DuBose and Dr. Thomas F. Suber officiating in the double ring ceremony. Miss Frances McDowell, pianist and W.

Bridesmaids were Mrs. Harvey Jordan, sister of the bride, Mrs. Andy Snelgrove of Spartanburg, and Miss Mollie Anne Matthews of Lake City. Their dresses and bouquets were identical to those of the honor attendant. Marsha Kay and Debbie Ruff, nieces of the bride, Vere flower girls. They wore white ruffled dresses. Rickey Jordan, nephew of the bride, carried the rings on a white pillow. The bride, given in marriage by her brother, Earl Ruff, wore a dress of Chantilly lace over French imported tulle and taffeta. The scalloped neckline was edged with pearl seeds. The bottom of the lace skirt was scalloped at ballerina length over a nylon net duster making the dress floor- length. The sleeves came to a point over the wrist. Tiny cover ed buttons adorned the dress from neckline to the waist in the back. Her fingertip length veil was of imported illusion, falling from a crown cap made of similar ma terial to that of her dress and was edged with seed pearls. Her bouquet was of white carnations centered with a white orchid. Her only ornament was a pearl neck lace, a gift of the groom. Andy Snelgrove served as best man. The bride’s mother wore a pink lace dress with a rosebud corsage. The groom’s mother wore a navy lace dress with a rosebud corsage.

Ezekiel came of a priestly family and he was probably brought up in Jerusalem. He was taken to Baby lon in the first deportation of the Jews, occuring during the reign of Jehoiachin. In Babylon he dwelt with Jewish families living along the Chebar, one of the canals of the low-lying country. He was evi dently highly regarded by the Jew ish people there. It was in the fifth year of Jehoia- chin’s banishment that the word of the Lord came unto EzekieL His message was one of hope, but it was punctuated by stern emphases upon the duties of the people in their exile. Ezekiel served as pastor to his people in their life in a strange land, but he was no easy-going, indulgent leader. He was stern and uncomprising in dealing with the people and their problems. It was true that the fathers had “eaten sour grapes*' and that the chil dren’s teeth were set on edge in consequence, that the fathers had brought untold disaster upon their children, but the faithful prophet bade the children to know that the “soul that sinneth, it shall die,” that every man is responsible for his own dealings. Ezekiel’s doc trine of personal responsibility and accountability must be realized by every individual, in his own sphere of life. t/m ^7I\^ s\ GOOD BUT DEFEATED 4 “What shall I do to inherit eternal HM?”—Luke 18:18. That is at some time or other the yearning cry of eyery human heart. The young lawyer who came to Jesus asking that question already hod the answer, according to worldly standards. HE WAS RICH. He had houses and lands and.all the material wealth that heart could wish. Haw many men sell their souls .for it! HE WAS YOUNG. He had the treasure that Ponce cfc Leon squander* ed a fortune to obtain, and that millions of aging people would “die for." ^ . ■. •. . .: -, ^ HE WAS A RULER. He had the acclaim of the throng, who eagerly bung on his pronouncements, qnd to whom his word .was law. Men still sacrifice all for the pride and power of it! s '§ HE WAS GOOD. All the Common dments he had “kept from his youth up.” Yet the rich young ruler bad a sense of lack. He hod not found the ultimate satisfaction, that absolute assurance whidrhe desired.^ Christ was quick to sense the trouble. He knew that men’s motives deteVmine their ends. He saw before Him a young man who worshiped his possessions, his every thought, word and'deed motivated by his riches. Boldly the Master colled upon him to forsake it all and put Him upon the throne of his heart. Unwilling to forsake his false gods, the young man went away hopeless. Shall we, too, search in vain for “eter nal life” because we ere u^ willing to pay the price of full surrender—to put Jesus first in our lives? ///, i % h r '•* v •v V 2 \ F r Eptffig Automotive Service, Inc. —Jobbers— Delco AC General Motors PHONE 924 FREEZER FOOD SERVICE 1006 Main St. Phone 897 Western Auto Assoc.
