BOYS ARE THAT WAY
“A mess of fresh.”
Ever hear that?
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

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.
