l"I REMEMBER'
SV THE OID TIMERS
LA BELLE BARDOT . . . Brigitte
Bardot, 20, French singer, dancer
and actress, practices her ballet
lessons in London film studio
where she is currently starring.
From Myra Merry, Hudson,
Wisconsin: I remember the* mak
ing of soap as a spring job. My
father had placed two barrels on
an open bench and during the
winter we had filled them with
hardwood ashes.
When freezing nights were over
father carried water and threw
it on the ashes. The water seeped
slowly through the ashes and
entered the contaiiners in the form
of lye.
The lye was mixed with grease
and boiled in a large black kettle
to make soap which proved very
efficient for washing and cleaning
but which was very hard on the
hands. ,
Lye had another use—in the
making of hominy. The best ears
of corn were selected, shelled and
winnowed, placed in a large metal
pail and covered with water—
about three times as much water
as corn, and a half cup of lye was
then added. With three days stir
ring, the corn swelled to about
three times the usual size and the
outer covering slipped off.
It required several washings, but
hominy was very good when fried
in ham grease.

Told By Recruiter
T'.ns pprin'T approximately 8.000
Yoivn ^ women v ill be graduated
from tho his.h schools of South

for advanced education beyond
high school many of them will en
roll -in colleges and other schools

FARMS AND FOLKS
By J. M. ELEAZER
Clemson Extension Information Specialist
Total sales in 1965 amounted to
$97,551,000, compared with $93,-
184,000 in 1954. Sales in the last
sixteen weeks of 1956 set a Com
pany record for that pariod. Con
sumer products sold under Ken
dall trade names accounted for
more than half of total 1955 vol
ume.
Net earnings last year of $3.64
per common share after preferred
dividends compared with $4.07 in
1954, based on the average num
ber of shares outstanding in each
year. Pre-tax earnings of $8,058,-
000 were $312,000 higher in 1956
than Ih the year before.
The Company started 1956 with
the largest backlog of orders since
1953, Mr. Higgins said. He noted
that there has been continued
price strength in textile markets
and that new products and mark
ets hold promise. Also, initial ef
fects of programs started last
year, including the new finishing
plant at Bethune, and the newly-
acquired Andrews-Alderfer foam-
fabric plant at Akron, Ohio, will
be felt in 1956. The company’s
management looks forward with
greater confidence in the outlook
than they have had in the past
two years.
COASTAL'S USES GROW
Coastal Bermuda grass has al
ready shown it has no equal as a
producer of good grazing, silage,
and hay, all three.
Now comes another use in
which our turkey specialist, Chas.
Risher, says it excells. That is as
a grazing for turkeys. Several
growers, he says, told him it
would carry turkeys like nothing
else they have tried.. And good,
green grazing is a right big item
in growing turke’ys, I understand,
in this grass, according to Tur
ner and Woodle.
To those who already have it,
remember Coastal likes fertility,
specially nitrogen. It has shown
time and again that it can use
vety heavy applications, and use
thorn profitably.
Like one county agent told me,
he said first determine how much
forage you want from it, then
fertilize accordingly.
ARLINGTON 'SERICEA
ArTtogton is a rather new strain
of sericea lespedeza. It has more
leaves and a finer stem, and is
thus beter for grazing, according
to County Agent Willis of Ches
terfield. He tells me they have a
good supply of pure seed of it.
It its aeeded In the spring.
COTTON SEED
The weather last fall ruined
most of ’em in the low country.
But in the upstate the seed turn
ed out very good, according to Bob
Garrison, our certified seed man.
If you have trouble finding good
ones, the county agents in the
upeountry counties could likely
put you in touch with sources.
Certified ones are your best bet.
CHANGE
Hogs are changing, too. Yes.
the demand is for less fat and
more lean. And the breeders are
giving us that sort. Last summer
when I rode two days with those
Russians out in Iowa we saw that
lean type hog everywhere we went
—and we begin to see it over S.
C. too.
Last year I saw a good batch
of them in the cooler of Green
wood Packing plant. Our former
livestock specialist, J. R. Haw
kins of Lykesland, produced them.
And the Greenwood firm paid a
premium for them too. Said they
could cut more choice lean cuts
out of them, so t hey could af
ford to pay a premium.
Iowa State college has found,
they can produce the lean type
hog just as cheap as the fat one.
And, since the world doesn’t want
all of that fat, why produce it?
They are -using a lot of lean type
blood, such as Landrace and
Yorkshire, in the crosses to get
these hogs with a lot of lean on
them. And our popular breeds are
shaping their breeding in that di
rection too.
4-H REACHES ALL
4-H Club work is designed to
reach all farm youngsters. One
might ask if it is doing it. We
have a lot of tenants. Is it reach
ing their children?
My observation has been that
it is.
Look at the State 4-H Sweet
Potato Champions from Darling
ton county last year, 6 of them.
Three were from sharecropping
families and the other three from
families of farm owners. And I’ve
noted this many times before.
OUR HIGHWAYS
I travel all parts of South Car
olina. And, in doing so, 1 seldom
hit dirt. We have a marvelous
highway system. This is a small
State. Yet our paved roads would
reach around the earth! Yes, we
have over 25,000 miles of them.
And others are surfaced constant
ly. No state where I’ve been has
better roads, and few as good.

In 37-county test last year, FTE bodsted aver
age cotton yield $12.00 an acre - more than
$10.00 over the extra cost involved.
Grow more cotton per acre! Ask your dealer for

The Fort Watson Indian Mound
in Clarendon County was the
scene of a notable American Rev
olutionary victory. The British
had built a stockade on top of
the 50-foot-high, 800-foot-around
mound and the Americans were
repulsed until they erected a
timber tower in the nearby forest
and from it raked the Britishers
into surrender in a single day.
