fc&re hilltop when the thunders
are rolling overhead is particular
Jy dangerous.
Tne experts tell us high charges
of electricity build up in thunder
beads. When pressure gets to the
breaking point, it strikes out at
the nearest object to the earth
And if that’s you on a mule, or
you standing or riding in an open
field, or a lone tree under which
you are standing, it’s just too
had.
WHAT WILL BECOME OF
YOUR PROPERTY
Our Dr. Rochester raises the
Question, “What will become of
your property at your death?"
Then he points out that you
have the privilege of determining
that beforehand in a will. But
about half of the folks neglect the
making of a will. Then a long,
and often costly, process of set*
fling the estate, according to law,
Is the only way out.
Information leaflet entitled,
"What Will Happen To Your Prop
erty?" tells about this and carries
a model of a simple will. It is
free from your county or home
agent or from Ciemson.
WORE CAPITAL NOW
Dr. Rochester tells me the av
erage amount of money invested
per farm worker has multiplied
lour times since 1940. Then it was
$3600; now it is $14,000!
Costs are up. But that doesn’t
anything like account for* this.
Mechanization has enabled the
worker to cover so much more
ground. It takes a lot more cap
ital to back him up now.
Change, change, the constancy
of it!
TOBACCO PENALTY
The penalty on overplanting to
bacco this year was increased
from 50 to 75 per cent of the prev
ious year’s average price. That
will be about 39 cents a pound
tax. On top of that, overplanted
acreage will not be used in figur
ing future allotments.
The tobacco folks have sure
forfeited their program with teeth
Overplanted acreage can’t profit a
grower now. When they say con
trol they really meant it.
There is one oase I know of
where a big group of farmers
largely control their own destiny.
Tbey can and do keep their pro
duction well in line with demand.
And the years have been good to
■them since they’ve been doing
this.
WATER MEAN6 LIFE
I read where in the half cen
tury up to 1962 the United States
•pent $£174,633,749 in reclaiming
6,713,015 acres of farm land from
western deserts and dry ranges.
That averages $321 per acre. The
cost of reclaiming this land means
principally making water for ir
rigation available to it. To date,
understand, about 25 per cent
of that has been paid back.
The act under which this was
done applied only to 17 western
states until last year. Then it was
extended to include all states.
Even here in the rainfall belt,
where scads of folks are already
on the land trying to make a liv
ing from it, we have great need
for insuring water to them, such
as makes life possible on western
dry lands. For recurring droughts
have kept most of our folks poor.
It looks like good business to ex
tend the privilege of insured wa
ter to them where they are, if
we can spend billions developing
dry lands onto which we have to
move uprooted people from other
areas.

BY TK£ OLD TIMERS
From Arthur O. Johnson, Palat-
jm, Florida: I remember 70 yean
ago, before the invention of refrig
eration, I lived in a saw mill vil
lage six miles from Montague.
Michigan. •
Roads were rough and sandy,
transportation was by carriage or
wagons and fresh meat was ped
dled semi-weekly by butchers of
slaughter house men using a spring
wagon with a large box in the rear
having doors at the end and a hook
over the door on which was sus
pended a scale to wfeigh meats.
Our family having been a regu
lar customer of the peddler. I was
allowed to ride on top of the meat
box from neighbor to neighbor.
One day something frightened the
horse drawing the wagon while I
was sitting on top of the box; the
horse started to run, I fell over
backwards. I caught my hand cm
the hook used for* the scale, the
skin being torn from wrist to knuck
les. Of course, a doctor came from
Montague to close the wound, but
I still carry a long scar to remem-*
ber the event.
From Mrs. Minnie Gallagher, Cal
houn, Illinois: I remember when
my mother would take boards and
make a platform, raising one end
to make lye. She would use a bar
rel with both ends out, put straw
in the bottom and then fill it full
of ' wood ashes, pouring water on
them until the lye started to run.
She would fill a big iron kettle,
then take all the cracklin’s from
butchering and old grease and boil
it down to make a fine soap, enough
to do for a year. It was cut in
cakes and put in wooden boxes to
dry.

?:
VTEWCOMER5 to Carlile aroused
•L v great interest and speculation
ran high over this unusual new
couple. Carlile, population three
hundred was a friendly community
and did not like the feeling of
unease they had aroused.
Don Bell and his wife resembled
die average couple'and would have
created no unusual interest had it
not been for their child. She was
definitely Chinese. Therein lie the
source of /discomfort — the town’s
first meeting was a mixed mar
riage.
Uhlike other towns where social
acceptanW was judged by the rich.
Carlile’s acceptance group occupied
chairs in the General Store. Here
most *of the towns business was
decided. The old timers and those
accepted of the new gathered daily
to iron out any problems.
Don Bell had been in tor sup
plies and had committed his first
social blunder by ignoring the as
sembled group. He had purchased
his supplies and left, he and Ms
Utile glil.
Phones rang throughout town as
the news spread quickly. Fortu
nately Carlile was in the midst of
Its annual Centennial and did not
have too much time to devote at
tention to the couple.
Helen Jacobs of the planning
committee suggested they ask Mrs.
Bell for a donation. A step in the
right direction. If he refused, they
would know she preferred solitude
Her reaction would deckle her
future status. >
Sue Bell’s reaction on receipt of
the invitation would haVe delighted
the senders. Turning to Don, she
asked,
“What shall I donate?”
•T don’t know. Honey. These are
big affairs. How about some Chi
nese pastries. They’d be novel.”
No word leaked ou + as to what
her offering would be and appre
hension ran high for several days.
Came the big day. significant iq
two respects, the Centennial and
meeting of the new neighbors. The
men had talked to Don and liked
him, so it remained tor the wives
to accept the newcomers. Today
Would tell the tale.
Many had gathered and festivi
ties were under way before a sta
tion wagon pulled up and the Bells
arrived. Out stepped Merry Bell,
black hair and sparkling eyes, the
eyes telling of ancestry. She re
sembled a doll in ruffled blue pina
fore. Her Mother came next tiny
and dainty as the child. Her soft
voice could be heard directing her
husband.
The crowd noted die full station
wagon. Slim, who knew Don better
than the rest, came forward to
help. Helen Jacobs stepped forth
saying, “I’m Helen Jacobs. We’ve
kept a booth tor you but doubt
its large enough for all , those
packages."
"Please call me Sue." The young
woman spoke hesitantly. "I hope
it will please. There are Chinese
pastries, silk scarves and figu
rines." She opened a box tor all
to see.
Helen stared in amazement.
"Goodness, w^ didn’t expect you
to stock a booth all by yourself.
These are priceless and beautifuL”
A murmur of agreement was
heard. They surged forwarded to
help. Sue’s booth took on the at
mosphere of China. Her popularity
was soon evident Carlile took her
to their hearts. Her soft tones
stood out amidst the harsh western
voices. Her tales of China and the
significance «i the scarves and
idols held her audience spellbound
tor hours on end.
Full realization of their accept
ance dawned on the Bells when
Merry came running to them, hold
ing a large doll—first prize for
prettiest child. Don standing near-,
by felt a warm glow within him
self. Carlile made up for all pre
vious suffered slights. He had
come home. Sue smiled through
happy tears and her neighbors were
never to know she had parted with
he*' treasured keepsakes.
