IRRIGATION IN MARION
Listen to County Agent King of
Marion:
"Many new irrigation systems
Trere put in this year. Most far
mers are depending on dug ponds
sta a source of irrigation water.
Over 100 ponds have been dug the
past year, and we already had a
good many. Also, many farmers
are supplementing the ponds with
amall wells.”
BROWN SWISS CATTLE
Oconee got a substantial start
with Brown Swiss dairy cattle a
good many years ago. It was de
signed to ultimately furnish white
milk for the making of the fam
ous Clemson blue mold cheese
that’s ripened in the old Stump-
house Mountain tunnel back there
in the mountains.
Since then the thing has grown
constantly. It was several years
ago that County Agent Morgan an
nounced they then had a good
Brown Swiss bull in walking dis
tance of every farm in the county.
Now they announce their first
Brown Swiss heifer sale for this
fall. It is to be preceded by two
junior Brown Swiss shows and a
county-wide dairy calf show.
These rugged high milk produc
ing cattle were selected early toy
Cldlnson as being well suited to
that near-mountain area. And they
produce rich white milk, well
suited to the making of this blue
mold type of oheese.

POLE BARNS
Clemson has designed pole barns
of various sorts. These are struc
tures without the usual floors or
foundations. Treated poles are
set in the ground and form the
rigid skeleton of the building.
I saw my first one of the larger
sort of these recently while with
County Agent Rogers of Florence
on Hollie Lloyd’s farm. His is
$2x75 feet, with the high part off-
center for hay storage and the
low.gide is open for cattle shelter
and feeding. Regular creosoted
light poles were used and set five
feet in the ground 13 and 15 feet
apart. Holes for these were drill
ed by their local electric co-op
erative in a few minutes.
Our engineer, W. A. Jones, who
designed and assisted with it,
tells me the cost of construction
amounted to about 50c per square
loot for the 3,900 feet of floor
apace in this barn. It is covered
In Horry they send many to
bacco soil samples to Clemson
each spring for testing. County
Agent Johnston tells me a large
percentage of them show too high
a pH for best quality tobacco pro
duction.
Tobacco likes a slightly acid soil
—something we have been trying
to get away from for most crops.
Watermelons too, and Irish pota
toes ,also like this sort of soil.
But other common crops benefit
ff-om a rather light pH.
Their common remedy is to
keep lime materials off their to
bacco lands and use fertilizers
that carry an acid reaction to the
soil. And in late years they have
found some of their irrigation
water contains too much lime
and chlorine for their tobacco. So
now they are having Clemson
test it too.

In late summer our winter-cur
ed meat supply had about given
out or become rancid. And frying
chickens had grown out of that
stage. For then we set the eggs
under hens. And spring was the
time for that. During hot weather
lice and mites were too bad for
the setting hen, chicks were hard
to raise then too, and matured
scrawny as cold weather ap
proached.
To bridge that fall gap between
meats in the Stone Hills, we had
beef clubs in late summer and fall
when I was coming up.
Eight large families or 16 small
ones banded together in beef
“Beef Clubs.” They killed a fatted
beef on Friday afternoons, taking
turns. Someone from each family
would get his clean white sack
after dinner and go by horseback
or buggy to the appointed place.
1 would help with the butcher-
. Most folks wouldn’t let the
s go along, for they’d bother
be ip the way.
mt they always let me go and
I looked forward to it. I’d get
high in a loft or up in the hay
and watch them axe the
barling. Sometimes it would
ve its head and there was a
esome sight.
Once up at Mr. Kire Amick’s I
stepped over in the trough, get
ting up out of the way, and didn’t
see a razor-sharp axe lying in
there with the blade up. It shaved
the peeling pff the back of my
heel and the blood eased through.
Cousin Paul was there, saw it,
peeled of fthe back of my heel
peeled off the back of my heel
plug, slapped it over the cut, and
tied it up with my handkerchief.
I was all right then, and enjoyed
the proceedings from there on,
which I will tell you about next
week.
A RIGHT refreshing thing hap
pened in our office a couple of
days ago. A smiling youngster of
not more than 10 or 11 year* came
in and politely asked if he could
sweep the floor, wash windows or
perform some other task in ex
change for “show fare.”
This brought pleasant summer
time memories of long ago when
we kids would mow a monstrous
lawn for 11 cents, (“show fare” in
those days), or rake bushels of
leaves for a nickel or a dime, both
powerful spending agents , of the
time.
Many of today’s children wouldn’t
bother to give you the time of day
for less than 15 cents and a
number (whose parents are too
poor to provide allowances) aren’t
above standing on a street corner
and giving out with a “Say, buddy,
I need three cents to get into the
movie,” until they get enough
pennies to make up the price of
admission.
The youngster willing to ex
change a few minutes work for a
few cents is as scarce today as s
redcap in a busy train station or
a shoe shine boy in a small town
barbershop, ha this modern world
even grownups are too busy sell
ing goods to sell “service.”
It seems the “odd-jobs”' man
who could fix a window screen,
spade a garden, rake a lawii, or
plant flowers disappeared into a
defense plant several years ago
and hasn't been seen since.
Nowadays when you need some
thing done that you have neither
the talent nor the time to do for
yourself, it generally stays undone
until you get out and hire someone
to do the job. Nobody brings serv
ice to the doorstep. Some folks
just make it available and you
have to go out and get it.

REY. ROBERT H. HARPER
Tbs Exiles in Babylon.
Lesson for August 7: Psalms 137:
1-6; Daniel 3: 13-18.
Golden Text: Daniel 3: 17-18.
“By the rivers of Babylon,” the
exiled poet wrote of loyalty to God
and to Judah. For in Babylon the
exiles were asked to sing a song
of Zion for the entertainment of
their masters. And the poet refused
to sing the Lord’s song in a strange
land and he hanged his harp in
the willows that grew along the
streams.
There was nothing wrong in sing
ing the Lord’s song in a strange
land, with the right purpose in
view in the worship of God. But
the poet refused to sing the song
for the entertainment and mirth oT
those who held them captives.
As the poet refused to dishonor
the Lord’s song, there were others
of the exiles who would not dis
honor God by worshipping the
image 'of himself that Nebuchad
nezzar had set up. And the king
ordered Shadrach, Meshach, and
Abednego to be cast in a fiery
furnace. But God intervened to
save the young men from a hor
rible death.
Thus did they maintain their
loyalty when they were threatened
with terrible death. Likewise many
of the exiles were true to their
way of life, in a strange land, as
they stood firm against a worldly
policy to compromise with things
that were evil.
On the east side of Columbia’s
State House plaza stands the
Spaniah-American War monu
ment, erected in 1941 by the state
and her citizens in honor of par
ticipants in the war with Spain,
the Philippine insurrection and
the China relief expedition.
In South Carolina, whose
'sons are heroes in war and peace,
the United States Brewers Foun
dation works constantly to en
courage maintenance of whole
some conditions wherever beer
and ale are sold. As in other
states, the program calls for close
cooperation between law-enforce
ment officials nnd beer licensees
throughout South Carolina.
