That’s what we called the batches of makin’s from a hog we took to neighbors at sunset the day we butchered. Neighborliness prevailed in the Stone Hills of the Dutch Fork where I came up. Each family grew about three hogs. Two were medium size, and one was large for the lard. We usually killed one of the smaller ones about Thanks giving and the other just before Christmas for the company that always came. Then the big one would be salted down during a cold spell in January. Butchering was always a big day, specially for us kids. For they let us stay home from school that day. We got up earlier than usual then. And the fires around the teaming pots cast an errie glow down across the gar den, through the orchard, and around the house in the dark and frosty pre-dawn. A neighbor or two always came to help. It took just about all of those/ short days to complete the job. i about a hog was used, from the tongue, brains, and chitter lings to the heart and the tail. Aine we kids spoke in ad vance for the bladder, using it for the only balloon we knew. Sauage and liver pudding, seasoned as I’ve never tasted it elsewhere, were made. Scrapple (puddin’ mush, as we call ed it) was made with rich broth left from cooking the liver, head, and trimmings for pudding.. The fat was ground and cooked out for lard. During the day, wje kids would get sli vers of loin and cook ’em on a wire held over the glowing embers. All in all, it was a.big day for us, though a rather dreaded one for those who had to do the work. Everything was finished about dusk. Then 4 or 5 pans of “fresh” were fixed for neighbors and we kids took it to them. Thus the day ended, and a group of farm families ha things to grease the pan ith for a while. They sort of ro tated it, and about each week one would butcher. A BIG CHECK FOR YOU to C hr‘* t,nOS a***. .00 T>OV Otv e jvdt e& atv - i-Y itf- w.

ELEAZER Clemson Extension Information Specialist IRRIGATION ON COTTON Clemson’s director of extension, George B. Nutt, reported on “Irrigation of Cotton in the Rain Belt” at the cotton mechanization conference in Texas back in September. He quoted figures from Arkansas showing they irrigated well over 100,000 acre of cotton in 1954. And this year shows another big increase. ' Now, look at that state’s yield. Last year they averaged 380 pounds of lint. This year the estimate is 438 pounds, or practically a bale per acre on a little over twice the acreage we plant. Riding across that state during the growing season I jieard irrigation pumps humming by many a promising cotton field. Mr. Nutt said Mississippi irrigated over 100,000 acres last year, and more than that this year. South Carolina’s ir rigated acreage of crops in 19^4 was 23,866, according to county agent reports. At Clemson he showed, nine years of irrigation on corn “have paid, and paid well, on eight of the nine years.” A survey of results from experiments in six Southeastern states over a period of years showed an average gain of 601 pounds of seed cotton per acre from irrigation. “The key to most proposed irrigation projects is the availability of water,” according to Director Nutt. And that should by all means be determined first. Then there are many other problems connected with it, like when to irri gate, weed control in irrigated cotton, soil characteristics affecting rate of irrigation, adaptation .of cotton varieties for irrigation, fertilizer experiments with and wthout ir rigation, development of sources of water, field layout, im proving equipment, economics, and so on. As to the future of irrigation here, he quoted Ivan D. Wood, veteran USDA extension engineer, “irrigation is here to stay.” And Mr. Nutt concluded, “History indicates that once irrigation becomes established in an area, it never dis appears.” PRUNING AND TRANSPLANTING TIME Winter is the usual time for pruning and transplanting trees and shrubs. Although some pruning is often done at other seasons. Light prunings then often help in properly shaping shrubs and trees and enable you to do less heavy winter pruning. Those things that shed their leaves in the fall are best transplanted as soon after the first killing frost as possible. Even though their tops are dormant during the following months of winter, their roots grow and they get set well in the new soil before spring. Later transplantings lose this advantage. The evergreens transplant best in late winter, just before spring growth starts. They require better attention after tranplanting than the other group. They should be watered as needed, and in some instances out in the open they will need some shading at first. The scuppernong is one thing that often bleeds when cut. The folks here at Clemson tell me this can be greatly lessen ed by pruning this type grape as soon after frost as possible and before Christmas at the latest. Our Roy Ferree tells me that light bleeding doesn’t sem to hurt these vines nor their crop the followting summer. Your county agent can advise you about any special questions along these line. NEW COURSE AT CLEMSON Industrial Management is a new major course that was started at Clemson in September. Over 225 boys are 'taking it. About half of these are freshmen and the others are transfer students from other fields. This department is in charge of Dr. Wallace Trevillian. It is felt that Clemson is a logical place for a coure like this because of the many excellent supporting facilities and courses already existing in the Schools of Apts and Sciences Engineering, Textiles and Agriculture. And the large num ber of students taking it the first year is proof of the need. The vast industrial growth taking place in the state opens opportunities for folks trained in business management.
