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

BIG BUSINESS
My, we have seen change in
our time!
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.

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.
