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.

The Courage of the Early Chris
tians.
Lesson for April 15: Acts 4: 13-20,
29-31.
Golden Text: Acts 5: 29.
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

Ever used a handy basket for carrying cleaning products from
room to room? It keeps everything in one place arid saves steps,
especially when you are oh a.Spring housecleaning spree. Today,
many cleaning products are packed in sparkling glass containers to
keep them pure and always at full strength when you are ready to
use them. Because the contents are easy to see at a glance, you always
know how much of the product you have on hand and how soon you
need to add it to the shopping list. What is so frustrating as a task
half finished because you ran out of cleaner?
Pack your cleaners—glass bottles and glass jars—in a basket *Tid
carry them all over the house in one container. Cloths can be kept
clean and usable in a glass jar with a tight fitting lid. The jar is
u andy to carry and can be kept right on the shelf with the other
mg materials.

T wenty minutes before this picture was taken, a mnn
named Edward Higgins was lying unconscious on
Route 17, New York. 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.
