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

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.

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.

I F YOUR household duties get
boring, try making a game out
of it and see how you can sim
plify your work. 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.
