LAYING BY CORN RIGHT
County Agent McCord
Georgetown says:
“It was interesting to note that
a great majority of farmers laid-
by their corn when it was about
knee high and made a heavy ap
plication of nitrogen.”
This is a part of the now wide
ly practiced “5-Point Clemson
Plan” for making corn. Late
plowing used to hurt a lot of
corn. Good stand and plenty of
nitrogen enable the com to shade
the ground and hold gress down
early, thus getting away from
late cultivations that break roots
and damage the com.
SHEEP SHEARING
IN SUMTER
The county agents of Sumter
trained a team of 4-H club boys
to shear sheep. Then they assist
ed each flock owner in shearing
his. They report wool yields of 8
to 9 pounds per sheep, and prices
ranging from 46 to 51 cents a
pound for it at the Johnsonville
plant.
I’m sure that natural resist
ance to change has dwindled in
our time. In fact I see a lot of
our elder men leading in the field
of soil building and saving. They
serve effectively as soil conser
vation district supervisors and as
demonstrators of the new things
of science the county agents are
constantly carrying from the ex
perimental plots to the field.
Change, change, the constancy
of it!
Realizing more and more the
truth of that is working miracles
in field, pasture, and woodland
where a few years ago secure
wedlock to cotton forbade need
ed change.

HOGS IN DORCHESTER—
A SUCCESS STORY
Dorchester has made a mark
with hogs. So I have to keep tell
ing you of it.
County Agent King tells me
they made their largest weekly
shipment on May 21, a total of
826 head that brought $29,687.40.
And their combined weekly ship
ments for May totaled 2,558 hogs
for 248 farmers that brought
$86,323.79.
This has several important
angles. First, Dorchester county
hadn’t shipped any hogs to
amount to anything when former
County Agent Meares started
demonstration feeding there 20
years ago. And back then we only
had hogs to sell in the fall and
winter, never in the late spring,
when prices are usually a little
better. But look now. They’ve
shifted their heaviest movement
to hit what is usually the best
market. But they also have ’em
every other week in the year.
These are high quality hogs too,
very few failing to grade top.
Shows what an old cotton coun
ty can do when it masters another
of our many adaptations.
SAYS KING OF MARION
“The Marion county4-lt rally
was attended by over 600 mem
bers, local leaders, and guests..
“Irrigation became rather gen
eral during the latter part of
May, especially on tobacco. Eight
new irrigation systems were
bought during the month, making
a total of 52 now in the county.
“Our three rural fire depart
ments continue to operate satis
factorily.”
On this latter item,/they have
two units in Marion that cover
areas around there, and one at
Mullins that covers a populous
rural area. The coming of rural
telephones has helped the effec
tiveness of these rural fire de
partments. King tells me they
have saved a lot of farm proper
ty in Marion county. It certain
ly looks like those communities
should have a better rate, when
they go to this expense to lower
their fire hazards.
FLENOY PAYNE

Commissioner at Clarksdale, Mississippi,

A young man asked: “Grand-
pap, I guess you’ve seen a lot of
changes in your time?”
To which Grandpap answered:
“Yep, Bud, and I was again ev
ery one of ’em.”
My own granddad once asked
what two of my uncles (his sons)
thought of running some rows
straight down the hill. They said
they didn’t like it at all. To
which he answered, “The land is
mine. I’ll run ’em any way I
please.”

L ester rajmsey could have
saved himself considerable
mental agitation, if on that first
day, three weeks ago while con
versing with her across the de
partment store counter, he had
told her who he really was.
Walking down an aisle that morn
ing, seeking the tie display, he
glanced to his left. Standing back
of a counter was a girl holding an
atomizer. She had it aimed direct
ly at him, and she was smiling.
Lester paused. Perhaps he didn't
need a tie, after all, maybe a
bottle of perfume would fill the
bUL He stepped over, facing her.
4 'Where on top of this did world
did you learn to smile like that?”
he asked.
“You don’t learn to smile,”
she answered. “You just do it.”
“Anyway, Fd like to take a few
lessons. When may I begin?”
“The day I open my studio, FIX
list you as my first pupO.”
That was the beginning. He the
son of a multi-millionaire, she a
poor working girl who would con
sider him just another {dayboy.
Somehow, someway he must
place himself on her leveL
“Does the store furnish its help
with a coffee-break?”
“It does,” she replied. “That is
the reason I am bade of this
counter.**
“Eh? I don't understand.”
“The regular girl is taking her’s,
when she returns. I’ll take mine.”
Lester glanced at his wrist
watch.
“This is a strange coincidence,’*
he said. Fm on my coffee break.
In fact, I was on my way to the
store’s lunch room when I acci
dently stopped here.”
“I never drink mine here,” she
said. *They charge a dime. I
know a little place where we can
get one for a nickle.”
“That’s the one for my money.”
Yes, that was the beginning;
several times they met at the
little lunch room, and added
nickle hot-dogs to their menu;
During one of these dates, she
informed him that she had left
the store and had accepted em
ployment aa a parlor maid with
a wealthy family. She had Sat
urday afternoons off, so it was
arranged that he should meet her
and they would drive into the
country
Lester realized it would never
do to use his own private car, a
special job. It would cause her to
suspect
He visited a used car lot and
purchased a jalopy.
He drove to a pretentious home
in the swanky part of town. She
climbed in beside him, he stepped
on the starter, the contraption
shuddered, shook as he threw it
into gear, then leaped forward like
h sprinter leaving the starting
block.
On their return trip, a tire blew
out He had neglected getting a
spare.
Being interested solely in each
other, they had failed to notice
a black cloud coming overhead
from the Southwest A flash of
lightning, a thunderous roar and
the rains came. The car wouldn’t
afford shelter, no top. At the side
of the road was an abandoned
farm house. They rushed for it
and mounted the creaking porch.
The setting was perfect; win,
lose or draw, it was time she
knew the truth.
“Edith,” he said, for the mo
ment he had forgotten her sur
name. “I have mislead you ter
ribly. I am the son of L. P. Ram
sey, multi-millionaire.”
“Then, the breaks are even. L
too, have deceived you. I am the
daughter of a man who controls
a few millions himself; E. J.
Whorton, chain-store executive.”
“I know a minister who guaran
tee’s his work.”
“Does he put it in writing?”
“He does. Then we sign it.”
“I write a legible hand.”
' The leaky old porch dripped
water onto them. But, it didn’t
dampen their ardor, for all was
even-Stephen as they went into
each other’s arms.
