COTTON HERE
My, w ehave seen change in cot
ton here in our time!
We have just harvested our
smallest acreage * since 1873, 716,-
000 acres in South Carolina.
Our greatest acreage was in
1918, 2,849,000 acres. Our greatest
productidn was in 1911, 1,649,000
bales. I well remember that year.
It brought very little, and stayed
in the field so long and blued up
so it was hardly worth picking.
One fellow down home was plow
ing up unpicked cotton next spring
to plant more. Said his only ex-
cfuse for planting it in 1912 was
to keep from losing his rows. Then
they' didn’t break land broadcast.
Just plowed out the old beds and
thus had their row* ready. Very
little rotation then. And the best
lands stayed in cotton until they
wore out.
It is eatimated we will make
465,000 bales this year, for an av
erage of 312 pounds of lint per
acre.
Cotton east of the Mississippi
River has declined over fifty per
cent in the past 25 years, while
west of it acreage and production
have gone up enormously. And
that trend is still under way. Look
at this year, we even planted con
siderably under our allotment.
That means we lose further acre
age in future allotments when this
year is figured in. While on the
other hand, the west grows every
acre they are permitted. Thus, the
future holds an increasing per
centage of the cotton acreage for
them, when allotments are being
made on past history.
We are lead to wonder just how
nearly cotton will go from our
midst. This year we only planted
just slightly over a fourth as much
as we did 44 years ago. Those who
figure on such things feel that
our cotton acreage has reached
close to the point where it will be
stabilized. It has fast gone from
the ill-adapted places and is now
mostly concentrated on the acre
ages where mechanization can
apply.
With fewer and fewer folks on
the farms, each one had to cover
more acres. And they are doing it.
A prime reason for this, it takes
more acre sto provide a suitable
standard of living for^ the average
fellow now. •
Change, change, it is constant!
CORN IN COLLETON
Assistant County Agent White
of Colleton tells me they are har
vesting a record corn crop there.
Much of it is being hogged down.
I was on a county _farm tour
with them down there several
years ago in late June. They then
had one of the finest corn pros-
tfects on record. But rains were
scant after that, and that fine
prospect parched ayrtay. But this
time the all-important; showers
came, and promising prospects did
not turn out to be disappoint
ments.
Water’s the vital thing, when
we do everything* else. It takes it
to make all of our other efforts
pay off. Some are beginning to
get it at critical times from irri
gation. A great frontier lies
there.
SOYBEANS
My, what a crop of soybeans we
have!
The acreage runs deep into the
thousands, and they are just about
all good.
Farmers are planting several
sorts, so as to extend the harvest.
County Agent McComb of Orange
burg says the Lee variety comes
first in ripening. It is followed in
a week or more by the Jackson.
And the Jackson is followed in a
week or more by the other stand
ard varieties, principally the JEW-
45, . the Clemson Non-shatter-4,
and CNS-24.
It wil be noted that the last

three varieties mentioned were
bred by John Wannamaker of St.
Matthews. He gave us our first
adapted, non - shattering, high-
yielding soybeans suitable for
crushing. Nor has he finished in
that field. I passed there in the
early fall and he was out there in
his plots selecting and tagging
the more promising sorts in his
breeding rows.
In a very few years, these new
soybeans have become a major
crop in South Carolina. We get a
money crop from them following
grain. We rogue the fields with
hogs following the combines. And
then we have that rich residue to
turn under. A three-way crop for
sure.
BOYS ARE
THAT WAY
By J. M. ELEAZER
As kids we heard a fiddle could
be made from a corn stalk. And we
never ceased to try.
The idea was to select about a
three foot piece of corn stalk that
had a rather long joint at one
end. With a slender knife blade
we’d run .it under a section of the
hard outer fiber of the corn stalk,
running the knife from joint to
joint. Then we’d insert a stick
about the size of a match under
it and push it back almost to one
of the joints. Then another similar
stick was inserted and pushed
back nearly to the other joint
This gave a tight piece, of fiber
there that we split into several
shreds. These the fiddle strings.
Then we made a similar one for
a bow. Resin was rubbed on the
“strings” of both bow and fiddle.
Then it was ready to play. We’d
rub and fix and adjust and try and
try. All we ever got out of it was
a few puny squeaks. But we never
lost faith. For we n<ad heard it
could be done. And we believed it
could.
The foibles of childhood!
But they develop youngsters in
to men whose ideas later shape
the world.
REV. ROBERT H. HARPER
J*s*s Teaches Hose to Live.
Lesson foe November 13: Luke 6:
27-28.
Golden Text 6: 31.
In the Sermon on the Mount,
Jesus taught men how to live so
as to gain the best in life, for
. themselves and for others. His
teaching ran counter to many re
ceived notions of conduct. Em
phasis was placed not upon doing
what ought not to be done but in
doing what ought to be done. In
many instances, this was directly
opposed to what men had ap
proved.
Men were bidden to love their
enemies, to give unto the needy,
to be merciful in their dealings
with others, to judge men in love
and not in harsh and uncharitable
thought
Jesus showed that there is a re
ciprocity of thought and opinion,
as there is in the deeds of men.
He bade men not to judge others,
lest they be judged. The law of
reciprocity has been declared and
has been found to be in operation
since the dawn at time. It is set
forth again and again. It begins
with the ancient law of murder,
“Who so sheddeth man’s blood,
by 8 hall his blood be shed,*’
and it is found at intervals and
under differing circumstances
through the ages. We have the
common statement, “Curses like
fowls fly home to roost," and Mr.
Emerson’s words, “Curses always
return upon the head of him who
imprecates them.’’
It is a cheering truth that the
good a man does in sincerity oi
heart and purpose will return upon
his own head and his good deeds
be rewarded by and by. But we
are to be good, first of all, be
cause God is good and desires us
to be good.

Khf'jfirBE ydd^rk wondered,
Avl why in this day and
too—
time,
with our colleges and educational
institutions overfilling their cam
puses, with degrees as common as
high school diplomas in the old
days — why aren't we getting
enough doctors, scientists, chem
ists, industrial engineers, etc.?
I don’t think you have to look
very far to find the answer. The
promising young man who might
have discovered a force more
powerful than the atom can prob
ably be seen chasing a football on
your Sunday afternoon television
screen. A limber giant with the
fingers and agility needed for great
surgery work probably chases a
nmnll round ball in the outfields
of the major leagues. Among our
champions in the many profes
sional sports lies an abundance of
hidden talents and suppressed
abilities in other fields.
The reasons, too, are just as
obvious. Read your sports pages.
Ralph Kiner earned half a mil
lion dollars in 10 years of base
ball ... in 1954 Casey Stengel;
signed a two-year contract which,
with bonuses, could net him about
$100,000 a year . . . Tony Trabert
signed a pro tennis contract which
offered him $75,000 for less than a
year and a half . . . Three heavy
weight boxing champions earned
.over $2,000,000 in ring combat
But the great financial rewards
are not to be accepted as the
greatest lure offered by profes
sional sports. There is the love
of competition, of the “games,"
and probably most important oi
all, the satisfaction of doing whal
one likes to do best of alL
Let our educators and indus
trialists figure some way to up
pay scales in the fields where
we’re short on talent . . . and ai
the same time develop an interest
in these fields among our new gen
eration.
