IM SPSRIT. 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.

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

milk flow when the pasture wad j curd had firmed in a* great
dead. And burr clover came
early in the orchard. 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.

whey and gave it to cats, chick

thick cream stirred in, a little

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

left.
