THURSDAY, APRIL 12, 1956 THE NEWBERRY SUN PAGE THREE FARMS AND FOLKS By J. M. ELEAZER Clemson Extension Information Specialist ”0 IjJUg.j WATER, WATER! After a number of dry years, the water holes have filled in the Low country. But in the up state some of ’em contain but a puddle of water. Last summer I made a tour of Iowa. Fine corn was beginning to bum in late July. And, I under stand, the harvest was meager at places, especially in the south west. Word from there now tells of a dry winter and farmers still hauling hcusehold and stock wa ter. Water is becoming more and more of a critical item in much of the rainfall belt. Most states are enacting water laws. We were about the first one to start work towards that end. But it begins to look like we might be the last to finish it, as nothing has ma terialized yet. Summer is just ahead of us again. The need for water grows. Specifically for irrigation. In late winter I toured Florida and Cuba. Irrigation marked ev erything it touched. In fact I didn’t see much good of anything that wasn’t irrigated. But it takes water, heaps of it, to irrigate. And that’s what we don’t have yet at many places. But folks are trying to get it. I see ponds being built all over the state. According to county agents’ reports, we have 11,660 on December 1. And all available equipment is still busy building ’em as fast as possible. Many of these are just water holes for stock. Others are large for fish and recreation. While many are primarily to store irri gation water. I speak mostly of the farm as pects of water, for livestock and irrigation. But water has another critical side with us. And that is for towns and cities. They are not only growing fast, but their use of water per person is in creasing rapidly too. Surely we need a lot of long-range planning for the fullest use of our great water potential here. Delay will but tangle the situation we must some day unravel. IN THE COUNTIES County Agent O. W. Cain of Calhoun: “Most of our grain is being sprayed with 2,4-D to con trol weeds.” Bethea of Abbeville: “We are working towards the organiza tion of a rural fire department in the vicinity of Abbeville.” Bonnette of McCormick: “A heavy crop of wild onions has helped out all winter as grazing for beef cattle.” Berley of Richland:“ A short age of drinking water continues to be a serious problem on many farms of the county.” Bull of Abbeville: “A group of pepper growers were called in for discussion and the majority de cided they would not recommend growing pimientos for 1956.” 1 understand a cut in the contract price was the main reason. Huff of Hampton: “Looks like the melon acreage will be about the same as last year.” IRRIGATED PASTURE FOR SHEEP Seyeral years ago I saw hund reds of sheep on a few acres of irrigated pasture at Alliance, Nebraska, and I told you about it then. The other day I attended the Sheep Field Day the Clemson folks held down at the Wellman plant at Johnsonville. There they have carried from 800 to 1,000 sheep on 40 acres of year-around pasture! And in addition they cut many tons of excellent Coas tal Bermuda grass hay last sum mer when it got ahead of the sheep. They overseeded that with oats and barley last fall, got it up promptly with irrigation, and it has been lush all wrinter. It was up to the bellies of the sheep when we were there on March 8. They are getting all of that fine grazing with two things principally, plenty of fertilizer, specially nitrogen, and irrigation as needed. Many of our livestock growers could take a lesson from this. It costs something to have grazing like that, sure. But it costs more not to have it, if you have stock looking to you for something to eat. And there is no labor in feed ing that sort of stuff to them. They go get it, and scatter their fertility over it as they feed too. 12 SNOWBOUND Artist’s model Loot* Knight poses ss “harbinger of spring*' hi snowdrifts which paralysed New York City traffic. this week's^ patterns... •Y IRIS LAN!

When brought before the council in Jerusalem, Peter and John were forbidden to speak further in the name of Jesus. At the time, the high-priesthood was held by the Sadducees. They denied the resur rection of the dead and they espe cially desired to silence the apostles who were proclaiming that Jesus had risen. So the Sadducees took counsel together in the attempt to put an end to the wondrous record that was going the rounds. In the case of Peter and John, they realized that the two disciples had per formed a notable miracle that had had a profound effect among the people that none could deny. They decided to threaten the apostles and to forbid them to preach in the name of Jesus, and then to re lease the disciples. Peter and John declared they would listen to the voice of God rather than of men, and they said to the council. “We cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard.” Thus did they ex hibit a rare courage in defying the command of the council. The whole of the council sought to intimi date Peter and John but they failed utterly to silence the apos tles witnessing. May the apostles be a strong example unto us in the difficulties that mav best us at the present, le" ‘o firm allegiance to TV!

His car was overturned in a ditch. The intern riding the ambulance didn't 7 think Higgins had a chance. But he ordered the nurse to ready him for a transfusion. x , ^ Now you see her watching “a miracle." She sees an expressionless, near-dead man coming to life. His eyes are opening, his body stirring uneasily and the color is slowly coming back to his cheeks. • Every day thousands of people are given transfusions. Like Edward Higgins, they owe their lives to others who have answered the call for blood. Giving blood is easy, safe and painless ... so give blood now.
