NOT YEAR^ By Fran Pachter •Tp HE Military Academy and -*■ Cyril Gunther were synonymouf with one another as both had been closely associated for thirty years. He had been in on its birth from idea form to actual being. Through the long years of struggle, when a handful of boys had been their mainstay, he along with four other teachers had given up their salaries on many occasions to help defray expenses. « Interest in the Academy had to be fostered and parents sold on the idea that their school was the right one for then- boys. Look ing back, Cyril wondered at their daring, but the worth of their plan lay before him. From one building it had grown to be an edifice that stretched the span of the land. From nonentity it! had grown to a spot high on the list of accredited schools. From original four teachers its staff now numbered almost one hun dred, all well trained and versa tile. Cyril was the last of the orig inal four left, they had been lucky as death had claimed them. He was being forced out by age and retire ment. Sixty-five! Funny, Cyril thought. At the time the age limit had been set up, it had seemed a long way off. Now it loomed with all the swiftness of a monster. He felt old and a bit frightened. Old Cy, they called him. He*jd known that, but hadn’t paid any attention to it till 4 now. Aloftg with his nickname had been coupled the adjectives of old fashioned, quaint, all symbolic of aging. Cy felt righteous indigna tion take hold. The young up starts! He had molded many a fine lad from raw material into success. Many had been panty waists, mama’s babies, now grown, who embraced titles of prominence. Had all that been for naught? Didn’t that mean anything? He boiled over with resentment at being east aside like an old shoe. Putting in a long distance call, he made connections with Gen. 3rmsby, and acquainted him with the situation. A smile wreathed his face at the General's answer. A few more calls went out via the lines and after each one, Cy’s face wore a beam of victory. The faculty was blissfully un aware of Cy’s extra curricular activities. Along with their teach ing duties they were busily planning a testimonial dinner in Cy’s honor. Suddenly the school atmos phere tensed as it always did when something unusual was about to happen. An avalanche of calls flooded the telephone lines, all protesting Cy’s retirement. A drop to school enrollment seemed eminent if Cy left. If they had not been so engrossed to precedent, they would have noticed that Cy’s face wore a sly,' pleased expres sion. His step was springier and years dropped from his face. Forced by the pressure of pa rental demands, a new resolution was adopted, age was not to be the prime consideration govern ing retirement, future require ments to be health and ability of the party. Cy was called, to and their deci sion announced. He did not by a single word or gesture give away his part to the change of rules. He readily agreed to stay on, find ing it hard to hide his secret satis faction over the outcome of his strategy. Plans went ahead for the dinner, but it was to be just an honorary one. Cy awoke tired the morning of his dinner. He spent a busy day but did not show up on time for the dinner. They found him on a day bed to his study. Beside him lay a diary on whose pages lay proof of his actions. Cy had won and lost a victory that day.

ELEAZER • • Clemson Extension Information Specialist PINES AS A CROP Trees, pine trees, are fast as suming the stature of a crop here. Once we did nothing but cut ’em, and then stick fire to what was left. But now we protect and plant ’em. And they not only tie the land down and improve it, but they are a paying money crop. County Agent Garvin of Green wood tells of an improvement cutting in a stand of 18-year- old planted loblolly pines. Eight and a fourth cords o f pulpwood thinnings were taken out per acre and 20 cords, comprising the best trees, were left to grow into poles and sawtimber. WATCH OUT, BOYS! County Agent Martin of Spar tanburg tells me 660 head of cat tle and 180 hogs came to their spring Blue Ridge Fat Stock Show and Sale. Four-H club girls won grand championships with both cattle' and hogs. Look out, boys! And a lot more of you were in that competition too than girls. IRRIGATING COTTON Irrigation on cotton paid at Clemson even last year, which was one of the best cotton years we’ve had in the upcountry in a long time. Counties up - in here averaged a bale or more per acre on all of their cotton for a record yield. Irrigated cotton at Clemson in 1955 made 357 additional pounds of seed cotton per acre, ^he year before, which was really dry ir rigation gave an increase of 1,- 212 pounds, and the year before, a moderately dry one, the in-* crease was 655 pounds of seed cotton per acre. First consideration about irri gation is, do you have the water? Your county agent and SCS men can help you determine that. We normally have about 22 inches of rain April-September, the growing season of cotton. Us ually at least a fourth of that runs off, maybe more. This leaves about 16 inches to make a cotton crop during a normal "or average season. And experiment and ex perience show this will make a fair crop of cotton. But not a maximum one. For that, at least 20 inches of rain fairly evenly distributed is needed here. There fore, on a normal season, we fall about 4 inches short of enough water for a maximum crop of cot ton. And on the many years we don’t have anything like normal rainfall during the cotton-grow ing season, the crop is really cut by insufficient water. And there’s where irrigation comes in. It irons out the spots that hurt. HOME CANNING Have you gotten rusty on home canning ? * Has the cost of living revived your interest in putting up as much of your food as • you - can economically ? If so, you’ll likely be interested in a copy of Clemson’s revised Extension Bulletin H2, Canning of Fruits Vegetables, and Meats in South Carolina.” Yodr home agent has it for you. COTTON USE Figures recently summarized by our Paul Williamson show we are using about as much cotton per person as ever in this coun try. Our increased use of fibers has come with synthetics. And their use continues to increase. Last year we averaged using 26.5 pounds of cotton and 11.2 pounds of synthetics. And wool about holds its own, 3 to 4 pounds per person, while silk is negligible. There is just no satisfactory substitute for .cotton in making a lot of things. Rut the synthetic products serve many purposes well, syid some better than cot ton. And some of them also compete with wool in warmthi BOYS ARE THAT WAY By J. M. ELEAZER We were largely raised on the products of the cow, garden and orchard. They formed the strong trinity of our fort in the Stone Hills of the Dutch Fork. Among these, the cow. was the most indispensable, For her prod ucts would not keep, like can ning, drying, pickling, brining, and-preserving from garden and orchard. These*' things were soft*''of in terdependent. We enriched the garden and ^orchard from the cow’s droppings.

There we staked the cow, after she had cleaned up the honeysuckle vine, on hedge and ditchbank after frost. The finest cow we ever had was a large Holstein. Boy, that critter could sure pour the mil!: out the back if we poured the feed in the front. We had to get larger milk jars to keep it in down in the cellar. And there was no skimping with it then. We drank all of the milk we could hold, sweet buttermilk, and clabber. *• One thing we ate a lot, special ly in the summertime, when the milk would sour and clabber quick. That was what we called curd. You might know it as cot tage cheese. We never- knew, that name then. Each morning the clobber that- had formed was poured in a white flour sack and hung on the bajk. porch to drip. We caught they whey and gave it to cats, chick ens, or pigs. By supper time that heart-shaped lump in the corner of the bag. Chopped up, with thick cream stirred in, a little salt and pepper, and we had a dish divine. I don’t recall a bit qf it ever being left. Ip fact we all liked it so, it had to be sort of allowanced around. Once we had a visitor that lik ed it too, all too well for us kids. We thought she took more than, her share. And I know we gave her many a dirty look, as sh£ dipped deep into that curd dish. But we were forbidden to speak of it. We were glad when she left.
