1 9S6i ‘s AHvnaaad ‘Avasanni THE NEWBERRY SUN PAGE THREE MEN LIKE CHEESE CAKE * By Evelyn Witter Twin Willows Farm. Rural Route 2, Calico Rock. Dear Beth: This here letter is to thank you lor the wedding present Sure was nice. You asked me in your letter how’s it come I finally landed Wil lie Mahew. To tell you the honest truth cheese cake did it lor me. The way I got on to this way ol copping a fella will interest you because maybe you cnn get you a fella the same way. It all started while I was rid ing the bus up to the County seat. You know I used to go to the city for Uncle Horace all the time. Uncle Horace was always so busy farming his big place he never wanted to take time to go to the hank with all his money and im portant papers and such, so Td go lor him. Well, I was riding along mind- fag my business and setting look- hag out the window dreaming of Willie. The woman next to me was reading a big town newspaper. She didn’t seem to want to talk Bone. So I thought I’d take a look and see what was more interest ing than chewing the fat with an other woman. Then I saw this big headline * saying, “Movie Stars Agree Men Like Cheese Cake.’’ That got me thinking about Wil lie again. I got thinking if them movie stars all thought men liked cheese cake it must be so. Why most of them's had lots of hus bands, and I only wanted one. Willie. When I got to home I klabbered me some milk, and gathered the freshest eggs and bought lemons and everything like the book said and I baked a cheese cake. I got Maw to take it to Willie’s Maw. She looked at it kind of fun ny, never having seem the like. But she took it anyway and thanked Maw kindly I waited for Willie to come rush ing right over that night. Got all dressed up and put on lots of “Night for Love” perfume. Well, I used the whole quarter’s worth, and waited and waited. 'Till nine. Then I knew it wasn’t any use to wait no more. I’d of given up then and there, but I kept thinking about them headlines and how the movie queens came right out and told about cheese cake. The next cake I took to Willie myself—personally. I went over at milking time when I was sure he’d be in the barn. He hardly said nothing to me what with get ting the hay down and setting up the milking machine. I left the cake on the rafter and went home and waited for Willie. He didn’t come at all. It was terrible dis couraging. But every Saturday when I and Maw did the baking I’d bake Wil lie a cheese cake like them stars and take it to him at the barn. Well our courting went on this same way for quite a spell. I knew them movie girls wouldn’t have papers print anything that they couldn’t prove, so I kept on. I figured real smart like, if I do say so myself, that when Willie got used to them cakes our love affair would be in the bag so to speak. So I kept baking and giv ing. He kept taking and paying no heed. About that time Uncle Horace took pneumonia and died. He’d of been here today if he’d of quit working long enough to change his wet clothes. Well, the day it got in the pa per about his dying and leaving me all his money, Willie came calling All dressed up in spanking new overalls and his hair combed “Corey,” he says, “I’ve got a hankering for some of your fine cheese cake.” He s making me a fine husband Yo uj friend, Cora Mahew FARMS AND FOLKS By J.

It hasn’t been long since a mule and a mam largely accounted for farm production. And neither cost much then. But not so now. Farming has become big business, when it comes to investment and annual expenses. USDA figures say in vestments range from $7000 per farm worker on the small farms of the Southeast to $70,000 per farm worker on the vast wheat lands of the Northwest. The aver age investment per farm worker in the whole country is $20,000 or about twice the investment in dustry has per worker. Now, with an investment like that going along with the agri cultural worker, fair prices and good yields become necessary, if he is to stay in business. And we need to remember, the farmer’s business is everybody’s business, in that we all require food and raiment. COASTAL BERMUDA Good reports continue to com© fron? our Coastal Bermuda plant ings. Down on Buckfield plantation, in Hampton county, they have an extensive cattle development pro ject under way, including both growing beef cattle and finishing them out in the feedlot for mar ket. They are developing a lot of pastures that they irrigate as needed. They are trying out var ious grasses and clovers. Their first patch of Coastal Bermuda grass had its second season’s growth the past summer. Mason Gatson, the manager, tells me he grazed 21 yearlings weighing a- bout 600 pounds each on the four and a fraction acres for 35 days last summer and also made two cuttings of hay that weighed up 24 tons. And wheir I was there af ter frost he still had a lot of dry grazing there he was cutting off with cattle. He said: ”We certainly like the looks of this Coastal,” and they have put out a lot more of it. Our grass man, Woodle, tells me early in the spring is the best time to sprig this grass. And that’s not far off new. County Agents can put you in touch with good local seed sources.

We also • wide seleetioa of MARKING DEVICES for and private Colleton a bit the past summer, cleared 147 acres of flatwooda land in Berkley and planted it to rice. They threw the usual con tour banks up through and around it, preparatory to pumping the water on it at the right time. But county Agent Mason tells me they pumped very little water on it as rainfall proved sufficient. On those tight soils, the rain fall accumulated there and stood on the rice properly to make ,the crop. And a pretty good crop it was, averaging 50 bushels of good rice per acre. This, along with their other rice, was milled and enriched at I their Walterboro plant. Mason I tells me it sold readily and they could have handled more. He says ' the acreage will be increased if | they can get the necessary allot- , memt. Berkley has a lot of land of that sort, as do many oi the 1 low country counties. I often speak of our undevelop ed potentials. We really have ’em here in this part of the southeast. Out yonder in the future, when this country needs a lot more food and fibre, these great poten tials will serve us well. We can grow just about every importamt crop except citrus. No other area in this country can say that. In fact, in other regions what they can grow is rather limited. The wide range of our adaptations is a mighty fort. We need to ap preciate that and exploit it more. Yes, the Almighty just emptied the hag when He got here. - TREATING TIMBER County Agent Grainger was tell ing me of the timber treating plant B. G. Alderman has down there in Clarendon. He treats Jboth lumber and fence posts. He will sell the treated product to you or he will treat yours on a custom basis. Green pine post are treated by the vaccum method that gives full penetration and long life. Labor is the big item in build ing things today, whether its a fence or a building. By using treated timbers, you only have one labor expense In many years. And the poor quality of most timber today makes this treating them important. Once we had . heart lumber that would last. Now J it won’t, unless it is treated. Grainger said farmers were sure making use of the Alderman plant. Building for permanance there. WIDE, WONDERFUL By FRANKLIN J. MEINE Editor, The American Peoples Encyclopedia. “Sulfur and molasses” and “fire and brimstone” seem to go togeth er like ham and eggs. Yet you would never say, “brimstone *nd molasses” or “fire and sulfur.” Sulfur and brimstone mean the same thing. It’s a yellow, brittle, non-metallic element found abun dantly in nature. In ancient times sulfur was used in fumigation, as a bleaching agent for cloth, and as a pigment in paint. The Chi nese used sulfur about 500 B.C. in making gunpowder. Farmers have perhaps even more interest in owls and hawks than members of birdwatching organizations. The two birds feed principally upon rodents. In s serious outbreak of meadow mice in Nevada, the birds of prey, ir one month’s time, destroyed more than 1^ million of these much feared pests. Birds are man’s chief allies in his war against insects and rodents. It has been shown that one single species, the tree sparrow, in Iowa consumes in one year more than 875 tons of weed seeds. The members of this bird family are estimated to save farm ers of the United States about 90 million dollars a year through their destruction - of weed seeds and noxious insects. HOPE FOR PEACE . . .
