0—Can yon tell me how much money the United States has paid oat
in foreign aid funds during the post-war period.
A According to reliable sources grants paid out from July 1, 1945 to
June 30, 1955 total $41,842,000,000. There is $8.7 billion unexpended,
as of June 30, 1955 and $2.7 billions available for fiscal 1956, less
returns on grants up to June 30, 1955 date of $1.4 billions, making
a total of $51,752 billions. In addition there are loans made and
authorized totalling some $16.8 billions, less collections of $3.3
billions, which added to the grants makes a total of some $65.1
billion in net aid in both grants and loans.
C Is the 64th Congress doing anything about river water pollution?
A -Yes, there is a bill, H. R. 9540, introduced by Congressman John
Blatnik, of Minnesota, which cleared the House Public Works
Committee with a favorable report Tfee Blatnik bill would extend
and greatly strengthen existing Federal water pollution control
law which expires June 30, 1956. Unless the Blatnik bill is passed,
or the present law extended, the Federal government will be with
out any Federal water pollution controL
Q—Why does the U. S. Chamber of Commerce oppose any Government
operation of a business venture such as manufacturing army
uniforms or shoes for servicemen?
A—The U. S. C. of C-, has taken the position that when Uncle Sam
runs a business that private citizens could run just as well, he is
adding unnecessarily to the cost of government, and further, losing
revenue from taxes which would be collected if the business were
operated by private industry.

FARMS AND FOLKS
By J. M. ELEAZER
Clemson Extension Information Specialist
CORN CHAMPIONS
A number of states in this area
have com contests. I happen to
have reports of two before me.
Last year the North Carolina
Champion made 149.83 bushels
per acre and the one up in Dela
ware 126.3 bushels.' Our high man
was C. W. Josey of Lee county
with 192.4 bushels. And our low
est man in state or district win
nings made 149.1 bushels, and
166 of our contestants made over
100 bushels per acre.
Our state average yield has
doubled since the 5-Point Clemson
Plan for increasing com yield
was formulated and this contest
started about 10 years ago. Only
two of those 5 points still apply
this late in the season. They
are: “Fertilizze Liberally,” which
has already been done with the
possible exception of the liberal
side dressings of nitrogen, and
“Practice Early, shallow Cultiva
tion.” Late plowing of com often
does more harm than good.
Next year carry out all i 5
points. Your county agent has
them.
ABOUT USING INSECTICIDES
Our Food and Drug Administra
tion has this to say:
“Use agricultural dusts and
sprays only on:
1. The crops specified,
2. At the time specified*,and
3. In the amounts specified on
the label,” s
With the power-packed new
^materials we have now, this is
very important. For those things
can hurt folk too, if we don’t use
’em right. The label on the pack
age is your safeguard.
IMPROVED COTTON
There has truly been a revolu
tion in the cotton patch in South
Carolina. Once we grew close to
3 million acres. This year our al
lotment is about a fourth of that.
But, on our limited acres, we are
doing a better job. County Agent
Cain of Calhoun tells me their
14 contestants averaged 902
pounds of lint per acre last year.
And Morgan of Oconee showed
me the average their 24 contest
ants made, 903 pounds of lint per
acre.
That’s almost 2 bales per acre
these contestnats averaged'. And
over 99 percent of ft was inch
staple or better, according to our
Sam Williams, who handles the
contest.
A number of counties averaged
a bale per acre last year. We can
well remember when a bale per
acre was an accomplishment that
few farmers could brag about.
We are farming less of most
things. And there are fewer
farmers. But they are doing a far
better jom on the acres they do
tend. Yes, they are applying more
that science offers. That’s what
makes the county agents such a
busy man. I started in that work
back in the fall of 1917, when you
had to hunt your way around.
Now there’s a beaten path to his
door.
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
This widespread movement tow
ards rural commuhity develop
ment begins to bear noticeable
results in all parts of the state.
Looks like it is just what was
needed by the rural community,
in this time of such great change,
when it looked like maybe it was
doomed.
I visited the Ora community in
Laurens the other night with
County Agent Cannon. No signs
of community decay there. On
the other hand, I never saw a
liver one. Fine folks, good farms,
and the best of fellowship!
And back in the late winter I
told you about visitin'# the Sweet
water Community, with County
Agent Lloyd of Edgefield, when
their state award was presented.
One of their leaders, D. T. Mathis,
summed up this whole idea of
community development when he
said: “A gift of $100,000 to buiW
anything we needed wouldn’t
have done near as much good as
we were able to accomplish with
our own means and spirit.” Theirs
was not a ri«h community at all.
In fact it was about average. But
they had what it takes, that “spir
it” Mr. MJathis spoke of. And they
won the state prize, offered by
“Progressive Farmer” for great
est community improvement. Lib
eral district prizes are also offer
ed this year by suppliers of rural
electricity. s.
BOYS ARE
THAT WAY
By J. M, ELEAZER
The dish devine to us in the
Stone Hills of the Dutch Fork
was “a family blackberry pie.”
Last week I told you of our
cow getting killed, which was
tragedy for sure at any time, but
specially when blackberries were
just coming in.
We’d make those pies the usual
way. Only we didn’t put any su
gar in them then. After dinner
they’d cool. Just before supper
we’d cut the top crust out and
take all of the cooked berries out.
We’d rake some of that thick
yellow cream off of the milk that,
had clabbered down in the cel
lar. That’s the only way we knew
to get the cream from the milk,
nature’s way, just let it rise.
And with that thick clabber therp
under it, you could get it off
clean in out sheet that you could
drag off of the tilted crock. This
cream with sugar was mashed
into, the cooked berries until it
all had a sort of uniform orchid
color.
Half of that delightful filling
was poured in the crust, the top
part placed on it, and then* the
balance of the berry-cream mix
ture pounred in. It usually over
ran the sides a bit. But that didn’t
matter at all, for the dish was
large.
I’ve eaten all sorts of good
stuff. But boys and girls, I’ve
never eaten anything that topped

Webers Honored
In Cameron
(The following article is from
a recent issue of the Orangeburg
Times & Democrat.)
The four churches of Cameron
joined together Wednesday eve-'
ning, June 13 at the Lutheran
Church of the Resurrection to
welcome the new Lutheran pastor
and wife, the Rev. Harry Weber
and Mrs. Weber.
Taking part in the welcome
services were the Rev. Ralph
Vosburg, of the Cameron Baptist
church, the Rev. Lyn Corbett of
the Cameron Southern Methodist
church, and the Rev. Wilbert
Waters of the Cameron Metho
dist church. A short response
was given by the %v. Weber. A
large number of people enjoyed
the reception that followed in the
Sunday School rooms. Punch and
cookies were served by the ladies
of the Lutheran churcch.
that. So, quite naturally, our
cow getting killed right at the
beginning of the blackberry sea
son hit us hard.
Neighbors always helped out
in cases like that. But that wasn’t
like having your own makin’s,
and havin’ ’em in abundance, like
two times a day milking’ of a
good cow can provide.
The killing of that cow was a
tragedy of the first magnitude
for us. Not only did it deal our
blackberry pies a mortal blow for
the season, but it took our daily
dish of curd from our supper
table, cool clabber that we liked
so from our dinner table, and.
butter and cream from every
table.
Yes, it was rather poor getting
along then in the Stone Hills
without the products of the cow.
We found a heifer. She it long ;
ast came in. But not until after
a whole summer of blackberry
jies was lost. Lost, yes, never to i
be reclaimed. ,

"I REMEMBER”
BY THE OLD TIMERS
From Pool Morgan, Loo Angeles.
Collf.: Almost fifty years ago I
was o young boy down on the
term. Port of my dolly chores
woe to chop and saw wood each
day (enough for the following day).
I had my choice, could do It be
fore or after school — most al
ways did it after schooL A kid
with a sharp ax could chop a lot
of wood.
During a snow I had to shovel a .
path to the chicken house, pig.
pen, corn crib and the little lone
ly vine covered house.
I would get all slicked up for
school, with a school bag over my
shoulder and shoe box filled with
real good food and an apple or
pear. Only rich kids ate oranges
<now, here in California, with or
anges plentiful, I never see kids
eating one) . . . there were other
chores, like gathering and clean
ing eggs and taking them to the
country store to* exchange for
groceries from a list that Mom
had made. Every few weeks the
chicken house had to be cleaned
and white-washed . . . Saturday?
you were handed a black stick
of stove polish and rags to polish
and clean the kitchen stove . . .
when finished you were as black
as the Gold Dust Twins.
Kids did not have much time to
play but did enjoy going fishing
or hunting every time they were
free from the many, many chores
around a farm . . . but in the
evening by the fireplace there was
plenty of fun playing checkers,
dominoes. Old Maids, etc.
Then with a candle in a holder
in one hand and a not brick
wrapped in a newspaper off you
went to bed to dream of tomorrow.
