HARPER No Man Indispensable W HEN the writer commented upon the loss of Kitchener to the English people and the Allied cause, a British captain who was in our country during the drive for Liberty bonds during the first world war said, “No man is indis pensable.” These words have often been remembered in the days since. No man is indispensable to a great cause. The iron-visaged Kitchener went down into the North Sea, but others arose in his place. And in any great cause, we may look for others to take the place of those who do their part and pass away. The cause is greater than any who engage in it and He who orders the cause will raise up other work men. Let none think that the cause entirely depends upon him. On one occasion, the prophet was made to know that there were seven thou sand in Israel who had not bowed the knee to Baal. They who do well their part leave a great heritage of assur ance and courage to strengthen thou who remain. Elijah flamed heavenward in a chariot of fire and a younger man caught his falling mantle and continued the prophet’s work. So let us take up the mantle of those who are indis pensable until God calls them. Sometime ago we spoke of fa miliar odors that came to us from boyhood. From Arkansas came a letter from J. S. Knox, who finished Clemson in 1911, adding others to the list that I had forgotten. Said he read my stuff in the Tugalo Tribune of Westminster, his home newspaper. “That fra grance that comes from the pan when sorghum molasses is be ing made!” And I might add sugarcane too. “Muscadines rip ening on the vine in the fall. And cotton has a pleasant aro ma when first picked,’* he adds. “Even the hog pen does not smell bad when you think of the good things that come from a hog properly butchered and cur ed on the farm,” he says. And now other such memor ies come to me. Kraut a-makin’ in the barrel is sweet perfume to a Dutchman’s nose. (At home every farm had that). And chit terlings cooking for supper. Some will not allow them in their kitchen. But to one who is initaited, that odor just serves to whet the appetite, as they simmer slowly all day there on the stove. The odor of the first ripe peach in May and apple in June. Even though there was usually a worm, the aroma was mouth-watering. And come with me to the bar becue in August! The odor from those browning shotes, as the basting was applied, is still one of earth’s most stempting odors to me. We can’t leave out the cotton seed oil mill either. For rare old country ham a-fryin’ can’t beat" that odor, when the seed are cooking. i t ^ WIDE, W ONDERFUL WORLD BY FRANKLIN J.

Its covered bridge was the scene of the first battle of the Amer ican Revolution, April 19, 1775, when a hundred Yninutemen, un der Captain Minot, fired “the shot heard round the world.” • * • Comparatively few' bird watch ers have the opportunity to ob serve the depredations of the Con dor, a very large South American vulturine bird of prey. Condors, some of the largest with a wing spread of 11 feet, attack old hor ses, cows and smaller domestic animals. Rarely do they attack man. They can be caught with a lasso while gorging themselves, even though the condor seems to have the most powerful eyesight of all birds. WHITAKER FUNERAL HOME FARMS AND FOLKS By J. M. ELEAZER Clemson Extension Information Specialist TIMBER FACTS C. W. Hall, exetnsion forester, calls attention to some very en couraging facts about our timber situation in South Carolina. Recent information in the Tim ber Resource Review, complied by the U. S. Forest Service, state, and private foresters, shows that we are now growing wood faster that we are cutting It. In fact, for 1953, according to this sur vey, we grew about a third more than we cut! Taking care of young trees accounts for a lot of that. This is quite a significant turn things have taken. For before our present forestry awakening we were cutting timber for a number of years faster than it was growing. While our woodland situation has improved, Mr. Hall points out that we still have much to do along this line. A fourth of our woodland area is poorly stocked or not stocked at all with trees, and well over a million acres are in need of tree planting. The main improvements in woodland management contribut ing to the improvement noted are fire control, selective cuttings, improvement thinnings, and tree planting where needed. South Carolina and Alabama are the only Southern states having com plete fire protection to all of its woodlands. Although vast im provement has been noted, we still have too many fires, when 7,000 fires swept over 185,000 acres of woodland the past year, according to our State Forestry Commission. But folks are coop erating better with their fire wardens and fixes have been greatly reduced. Timber as a crop! That’s the way we are beginning to look at it. And we study its promotion and management, not just cut it, as in the past. MAKE A WILL “What Will Happen to You? Property,” is the subject of a leaf let by Dr. M. C. Rochester, Clem son extension economist. -It is free from your county agent. It tells in layman language just how property wil^be divided by law if there is no will. If the law’s di vision doesn’t suit you, then the will is the way. A sample will is given in the pamphlet, and Dr. Rochester suggests seeing a law yer for working out the details of any will that*s made. WE NEED GRASS The government forecast is for a 45 percent increase in the South Carolina calf crop this year over the ten-year 1945-54 average. We are the fastest growing state with cattle. But we had so far to go. This growth calls for grass, and plenty of it. Our grass men, Woodle and Turner, often ask the question, “Are your cattle getting ahead of your grazing?” And that’s a mighty important question. They point out that we should always strive to have more grass than the cattle we have can eat. Then we can cut the surplus off, thus improving what growth is to fol low, and make hay or silage for lean times that often come during droughts and the cold of winter. ELECTRONIC COOKING “Electronic” looks like a big word when applied to cooking. Yet in a few years it might be commonplace. For remember tele vision was a strange word not many years ago. An electronic stove was demon strated at Clemsdn‘s recent Farm and Home Week by Misses Janie McDill and Ruby Craven, state home demonstration specialists. It sends microwaves through the food, cooking it in a fraction of the time usually taken. And foods thus cooked retain all of their qua lity and nutritive values, we were told. 934 MAIN ST.

Of course, we’re not all saving for the same things, and we all save different amounts each month, but the important thing is ... we all have the sav- ing habit. “I’ve been saving at the South Carolina National Bank for years. First I saved up money for a down payment on a new home. Then I started putting money away to send my daughter to school. This saving fund also comes in handy for any emergencies that come up. “My wife saves something every week, too. She’s planning to buy some new furniture and redecorate our home. Now that South Carolina National is going to pay 2 1-2 per cent interest on her savings, she’ll be able to buy those things she wants just that much faster. “And my daughter ... what do you think she’s A saving for? She wants a new bicycle. I guess I could afford to buy her one but I think it much more important that she get the savings habit early in life. And, that’s just what she has done. I don’t think she fully' appreciates yet the fact that her money will earn 2 1-2 per cent interest at the South Carolina National, but she knows that it won’t be long before she’ll have that new bike.
