Rearden of Edgefield, whose beautiful model car won first in the Senior Division (ages 16 through 19). Each received a cash award of $150. This year the Guild is celebrating its Silver Anniversary* ' Pond Building Is Increasing Farmers cooperating with eight soil conservation districts in Soil Conservation Service Area No. 2 in South Carolina built 346 ponds during the first six months of this year. During the first six months of 1954 they built 270 ponds. This indicates that Interest in water conservation is increasing. Ponds built during the first half of this Exhibit Tent Be Constructed For Farm-Home Week CLEM SON—Plans are now be ing completed for displays to be placed in the huge exhibit tent to be erected on Bowman Field dur ing the annual Farm and Home Week, August 15-19. G. H. Stewart, leader, Clemson Agricultural Engineering Exten sion Work, and chairman of the Farm and Home Week exhibit tent committee, says 'that prospects point to the largest .and most va ried display in the tent in the history of Farm and Home Week. He says that reservations have already been made for practically all of the space in a tent 460 feet long and 50 feet wide, which was the size of last year’s tentT Appli cations continue to come in and Mr. Stewart has asked that all who expect to ask for space let him know not later than July 24 so that arrangements may be made for a tent sufficiently large to care for all exhibits. Because of the cost in the erection .and maintenance of the tent, a nomi nal charge is made for space. A wide variety of exhibits which cannot be shown in the .open on Bowman Field will be on display under the tent. The exhibits will include farm and home equip ment, electric appliances, labor- saving devices, home furnishings, seeds, fertilizers, insecticides, and other items Which contribute to satisfactory farm and home life. No livestock will be exhibited in the tent. In many instances, demonstra- PAGE THREE Prosperity News . MRS. B. T.

During the 20 intervening years interest in soil and water conservation has rap idly increased. The law resulted, in part, from experimental work on soil erosion started in 1928 at 10 experiment stations. Th« need for saving the soil was further dramatized by 175 demon stration projects in the nation’# m^jor soil areas and by work of several hundred Civilian Conserv ation Corps camps. Many conservation practices were tried by cooperating farm ers. Those which proved most beneficial and practical have been used since. SCS activities are based on the preamble of the Soil Conservation Act passed 20 years ago: “It is hereby recognized,” the preamble reads, “that the wast age of soil and moisture resour ces on the agriculture, ' grazing and forest lands of this nation is a menace to national welfare and that it is hereby declared to be the policy of Congress to provide permanently for the control and prevention of soil erosion.” When the 1935 act became law the State governments were en couraged to enact legislation to provide a means of carrying oh the soil and water conservation programs to fit local needs, to en courage local participation and to provide for local administration. Today, all States, territories and insular possessions of the United States have soil conservation dis trict laws. There are 2650 soil conservation districts. South Car housing the exhibits, the tent, will be used for holding an informal reception for campus people and visitors on the opening night. BOYS THAT WAY By J. M.

The chair for the bride-elect was marked with a white satin ribbon bow. She was given a tube- drrose corsage. High score prizes were awarded to Miss Julia Curry of Brunswick, Georgia and Rich ard Counts. The bride-elect was presented a piece of china in her chqsen pattern. The hostess, assisted by Mrs. W. L.

Mrs. Fletcher McWalters, of Strings were scarce. We always’ picked up what we found, spec- Corpus Christi, Texas, has been tally if they were bright colored. Some of the hoys j ust stuffed them in their' pockets, in a sort of tangled way, with other things. But I always wound mine around my hand and tied them like a plow line. Then they didn’t get tangled and knot up. Boys have.a lot of uses for strings. I usually had an Indian arrow head or two in my pockets. Y6u could find one Occasionally in a cultivated field after a rain, and we always had an eye out for them> Then a fishhook or two im bedded in a cork stopper was always there. And a slingshot and a few extra pieces of pliable lea ther cut from the tongue or side of an old shoe. They were used as the piece to hold the rock in the slingshot, you know. We always managed to find some scraps of lead somewhere. And we usually had some of that in our pockets. We’d use it to mark on the barn and for sink ers on our fishing lines. A few assorted rocks of varied hues, that looked like bird eggs, were treasured too and carried in our pockets. A couple of whistles SCO’s. Thus we see that in two dec ades much progress has been made. The 346 ponds built during the first half of this year are in SCDs as follows: Lancaster 84; Cherokee 56; Fair- field 50; Newberry 50; Catawba 49; Chester 28; Spartanburg 23, and Union six. \ These same districts report 731 acres of irrigation water manage ment during the first half of this year as compared to 370 acres during the first half of last year. Farmers are not only storing wa ter but are using it for irrigation, stock watering, fish production. .. , . , , , made from canes that grew on ohna ,s completely covered by 44j the creek were there one of high pitch and one low pitch. We dried the peelings from the few oranges we had. A piece of that was carried and we chewed bits of it as long as it lasted. And sassafrass roots too. Wire was a scarcity in our times, specially small pliable wire. When we found a piece, it was wound and carried visiting Mrs. Corrie K. MicWaters and Mrs. H. E. Counts on Sunday were Mr. and Mrs. J.
