IPAGE SIX *la- •' FARMS AND FOLKS By J. M. ELEAZER Clemsoii Extension Information Specialist ISach season has its special taag. I particularly like this one on the farm—fall. As the sleep of winter died aw- UT. warmth and life came back to tilll and hedge. And then it was spring. It had much to rave about »nd revel in, as I oft’ do in season. Then came the long days of growth and summer, as the cica da droned his solitary tune. The Alchemy of sun, water, and air jMK>n built a fort of food and fi bre. Now' it ripans in the field, And living things have another .Joase. This is the begihing of fall, Jjie time of the harvest. I like most things about it ex- oept the approaching death that -winter brings. The wild aster a- - purpling in the old field, the Anow of another harvest that hast «ome to cotton, beans that have 4Sxied on the bush, and fodder that Sa golden on the stalk, these, aAd myriads of others, mark fall with tmlue, meaningful value. Soon now the crib will bulge and the roof will be stuffed. The cellar will be stocked and the pantry will be filled. The hog will be fattened and the steer will be pold. The hay will be harvested And the hams w'ill be cured. The pardon and the field will be plow- *Jd and the winter things planted. The tree will redden and the grass Will bronze. All in preparation for the dead season of winter that follows. Fall stands out with~color, bril- liant color, against the drab dead- jaess of winter that frost brings. JUtd then the earth is at rest. Yes 'Tr—for a spell, until the miracle of Spring calls forth life again. Then the &rand symphony starts over •with spring. Summer develops it «And fall ends it. Just a bit of trivia. COTTON Change, change, the constancy of it! In 1918 we had our greatest acreage of cotton in South Caro lina, 2,£49,000 acres. This year we .bare 726,000 acres! That’s the smallest since 1873. Thus our cot* ton acreage has shrunk to about a fourth. Our biggest crop of cotton was in 1911. Then we made 1,649,000 bales in South Carolina. Last year we made 501,000 bales. New crop and livestock incomes have come. Cotton is still the leading crop, but not the king it once was. An<l that leaves us bet ter off, with our risks scattered and labor distributed. ON THE FIRING LINE County Agefnt Bowen of Sum ter says, “This year will really separate those who poisoned boll weevils and those who didn’t. A thorough poisoning program is really paying big dividends this year.” McCord of Georgetown: ‘The corn crop is the best in many years, making up for the several lean ones we have had.” Jackson of Williamsburg: ’’The four MH-30 sucker control dem onstrations on tobacco proved suc cessful.” And Johnston of Horry reports similar results. King of Marion says: “This is the kind of crop year that makes a county agent feel good.” (And just about everybody els^ too, J. C.) Yes, we had water, and look! Give the average farmer that and good crops are his. He can pretty well handle other things. That’s what’s encouraging irrigation so. For so often the water does not come, and drought leave us emp ty handed. Ray DuBose of Florence: “I prepared twelve radio and one TV program this month.” And just think, that on top of a multitude of other duties! COTTON CLEAN-UP In some fields the cotton is about picked and stalks could be destroyed now. That is one angle of boll weevil control we don’t follow very well. And it has prov ed effective where generally prac ticed. I’ve told you of their rigorous clean up law down in the valley countries of Texas, where cotton production has come back so. And REV. ROBERT H. HARPER Renewed AUegian to the Law. Lesson for September 25: Ezekiel 20: 19-20; Nehemiah 9: 1-3; 10-32. 35 37 39. Golden Text: Ezekiel 20: 19. In this lesson, we have several passages, dealing with the sins of the people of Judah and calling upon them to bring forth fruits *oi repentance. Beginning with a call from Jeho vah to walk in his ways and keep his commandments, we d^ en con * sider the great fast that was held in Jerusalem. There was a large assemblage of the people, and a quarter of the time was given tc the reading and expounding of the Lord’s word and a quarter was given to confession of sin. And there were certain ordi nances set for the people in order that their religious life should be better regulated and their duties attended to in a right way. The amount of their offering to Jeho vah was fixed and other things connected with their worship were enjoined. Above all, they resolved “not to forsake the house of our God.” # Let us realize that, though we live under grace and are not bound by the ceremonial observ ances of Old Testament days we are bound to keep the law of God in all things. We are to establish the law through our faith in Christ, as we learn that “Love is the ful filling of the law.” yields are climbing steadily over there as a result. This year they are getting a good bale to the acre. It would pay us to, give more attention to this vulnerable spot of the w'eevil. For he must eat until frost sends him into hiberna tion or die. And we had rather he do the latter. they have the pink bollworm too. Every vestige of cotton growth must be destroyed by September 1. Their season is earlier than ours. And if a grower doesn’t get his stalks out of the way satis factorily to the inspectors, the county comes in, does it, and charges it against his land. This has brought such good re sults that the Mexicans have ad opted it on the other side of the Rio Grande. And their average How Much Are You Worth ? You’re probably worth more than anything else in the world ... to your family. And you’re probably worth a great deal as a good citizen of our commun ity. t , But wfe’re thinking in financial terms when we ask, “How much are •you wo^th? ,, We don , t mean to overemphasize dollars.. • . but dollars have a way of being among our very best friends. Your worth in dollars includes lots of things . . . your home if you own it . . . your car . . . your clothing . . . your furniture and equipment . . the amount in your checking account . . . and the amount you have saved. It’s the amount you have saved that you can count on when you really need it. It’s the amount you have saved that is your Best Friend when times are tough. That’s when you discover that saving money was one of the best things you ever did. If you haven’t learned how to save regularly you have missed one of the greatest lessons of life. But if you have, and if you really practice it, you’re getting ready for an Opportunity that may make the difference between Peace and Turmoil in your remaining years.

Here are some suggestions which may lead you to think of others. Leave out any part of a task which you can to save time and energy Here are some exam ples: placing shirts on hangers rather than folding if space per mits, rack drying instead of towel drying for dishes; using a big measure instead of smaller oqe; and making a bed in one trip , around it rather than severaL Combine any task you can. Make one operation in place of two of •ome of these: serve food in bak ing Hi«h *n which it was cooked; fold pillow cases as you iron; cut biscuits with knife instead of ctft- ter; and remove clothes from dry er while damp to save dampening. Eliminate tasks which you can such as washing walls, shades woodwork ami drapes by using a vacuum cleaner attachment often enough. Use a furniture wax to both clean . and polish furniture in place of 1 two operations. ■iSfi FOR HOME FINANCING! □ TO BUY □ TO BUILD □ TO REPAIR □ TO REMODEL □ TO REFINANCE N ' "Save Where Hundreds Save Millions BUILDING and LOAN ASSOCIATION PINCKNEY N.
