BEY. ROBERT H. 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.

Concord, Mass., has been
termed “The American Town.”
Even today its population is less
than 9,000, but it was the home of
such writers as Emerson, the Al-
cotts, Thoreau and Hawthorne.
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.

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.

“2y 2 PER CENT INTEREST AT

has made our whole family
SAVINGS MINDED!
“Yes sir, we’re a ‘saving’ family. 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. '
“If you’d like to see YOUR dreams come true,
I recommend that you get the savings habit,
just as we have done. And believe me, there’s no
better place to save than at South Carolina Nat
ional Bank.”
