FARMS AND FOLKS

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!

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

son of Mr. and Mrs. Edwin O.

The bride, given in marriage by
her brother, Earl Ruff, wore a

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

terial to that of her dress and
was edged with seed pearls. Her
bouquet was of white carnations

lace, a gift of the groom.

Goldom Text: ExtkM 18: 10.
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.

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?
