FARMS AND FOLKS

INCREASED COSTS
County Agent Linder of Lee
says a review of their 1956 5-acre
cotton demonstration records
shows an increased cost of pro
duction. And that was likely true
■with all crops. Crop^ have been
upward for some years, while
prices have tended downward for
farm products generally.
This sure puts a squeeze on the
farmer and calls for his best ef
forts at efficient production. That
calls for proper preparation of
the land to facilitate getting good
stands from the best quality seed
obtainable. It calls for liberal
fertilization, as that has advanc
ed less than other elements of cost
going into a crop. It also calls for
insect and disease control, and
careful harvesting and market
ing.
We are hopeful the farm pro
gram will mean more to farmers
in this area than it did the past
year. It came too late for much
participation here, While the
Corn Belt was able to participate
heavily.
MEAT TYPE HOGS
Growers of all breeds of hogs
are working towards type that
carry more lean and less fat. That
is in conformity with the need
that has developed along through
the years. Vegetable fats are tak
ing the place of a lot of lard. So
we do not need so much lard, but
we do need the good lean meat.
This new type hog was in evi-
< dence at our fairs last fall. All
breeds are working towards it.
At the Orangeburg fair they had
a sale of Landrace hogs. That’s
the lean ham and bacon type hog
the Dutch have developed and
built a reputation for. It and
Yorkshire are being used consid
erably in this country in crosses
to get better butcher hogs. Coun
ty Agent Grainger of Clarendon
tells me 6 of their farmers at
tended that sale and bought
Landrace breeding stock.
PLANTING PINES
A total of 67 4-H Club members
in Abbeville county are each set
ting out 1,000 pine seedlings this
winter, according to County Ag
ent Bull. And Tuten of Edge-
field tells me 24 of his 4-H’ers
are doing likewise:
The West Virginia Pulp and
Paper company furnished 750,000
pine seedlings for this purpose
and they were taken promptly by
the 4-H’ers. Thus 750 of them
are starting small forests of their
own this winter. As fast as pines
grow here, these youngsters will
likely live to make the complete
harvest from these plantings. It
will begin with pulpwood in 15 to
20 years. Then poles in another
5 to 10 years. And after that
will start the systematic harvest
of sawtimber as needed. Our
forester, Bill Barker, tells me
these 4-H pines are being plant
ed in 35 counties this winter.
A similar number of trees were
furnished the FFA boys, and I
understand they were enthusias
tically received too and are being
tically received too and are being
1,000 trees each.

youth. This practical work with
pines, together with the other
forestry training they get, is
making real tree farmers for the
future. And that’s in tune with
our natural land adaptation, as
these are tree lands primarily. We
cut trees from them whfen crops
were first put there.

BY LYN CONNELLY
ALTHOUGH rugged Jim Bowie
generally is considered as
American as Yankee Doodle, the
famed outdoorsman and inventor
of the Bowie knife is played on
ABC-TV by South African-born
Scott Forbes, the son of an Eng
lish-French physician and an
American mother of Pennsylvania
Dutch descent . . . When three,
Scott and his parents moved to
the States and he attended grade j
and high school in Manhattan . . .
His knowledge of horsemanship
and outdoor lore came largely
from spending summer vacations
with relatives on an Alabama cat
tle farm . . . When Scott was 16,
he moved with his family to Eng
land and later joined the RAF.
While with the Royal Air Force,
Scott decided to become an actor
. . . After participating in several
stage shows, he continued acting
afterwards by entering an actors’
school in England . . . His profes
sional debut on the English stage
led to several European movie
roles, which in turn led to a num
ber of Broadway shows when he
returned to the U.S.
In 1955, after appearing in sev
eral dramatic televisipn shows
originating from New York, Scott
moved to Los Angeles with his
wife . . . While working in Manhat
tan TV, he had met Jeanne Moody,
a former “Miss Alabama,” and
they were married in December
1954 . . . The bosky six footer Is
ambidextrous, an attribute which
helped win him the Jim Bowie
role . - . Louis Edelman, producer
of the series, spotted him one day
skillfully switching his racket
from right to left hand during a
game . . . Recalling that Bowie
also had been ambidextrous, Edel
man worked out a deal with Scott.
The Forbes' occupy a modest
home in Hollywood, own a cocker
spaniel named “Cricket” and a
parakeet named “Humphrey” . . .
Both hi-fi fans, they own a large
record collection, with Mozart and
Broadway shows predominating.

AIL OVER TOWN I
The first show to come to our
Dutch Fork school was in a
covered wagon in 1902. I’ve
been telling you about it here
for the past three weeks. It
left us in a state of mental tur
moil and confusion. We were
not ready for the innovations it
brought. Up to then the old
folks could exlain to our satis
faction the things we saw and
heard in our rugged hills and
valleys. But this show had
brought things we did not un
derstand, nor could the old folks
quite explain.
That slight of hand, for in
stance, how did that man get a
large white rabbit out of Cous
in George’s wool hat? And he
pulled a silver dollar out of
Cousin Mel’s ear! He borrowed
a clean white handkerchief from
Mr. Jesse, burned a hole in it
right before our eyes, put it in
his magic tube, and it came
out whole and unburned! AU
of these things puzzled us. And
the explanation of one of the
older folks just had to be taken,
in the absence of any other ex
planation of what we had seen
with our very eyes. That fel
low was just a “conjure man”,
he said.
The talking machine! Well,
we had the remedy for that. In
the semi-darkness, there was a
woman under that table with
her head in that contraption,
and the music came from a mu
sic-box in there, like we had
seen before.
Now we come to local reac
tions to the most wonderful
thing of all that we had seen.
That was the moving picture!
We could dig up neither fact
nor fancy as to how that fellow
almost scared the daylights out
of us with a full-fledged train'
running right into our faces
there from a bed-sheet hung on
the wall!
After we kids had discussed
it to and from school, families
had talked about it at the din
ner table, and it had been dis
cussed for days down at the
blacksmith shop, no one had a
suitable explanation for the
phenomenon we had seen. At
last someone asked the resepet-
ed sage of the community. And
he put an end to our smaller
speculations when he answered,
“I’ll be tarnation if I know how
that contraption worked.” And
that left us in a fog for sure.

EXCELSIOk
AMID the ice and snow of winter
■^A-is a good time to read again
the story of a youth who through
an Alpine village passed, bearing
a banner with the strange device,
“Excelsior!” He was later found
on the highest height, cold and
dead, but he still grasped in his
hand of ice a banner with the
strange device, “Excelsior!”
Whether in winter or in summer,
in spring 6r autumn, amid what
ever toils and difficulties, let us
never be satisfied with less than
the best. Let us consecrate our*
selves to the doing of our tasks
well, whatever they may be. At
the last day, when the King shall
come in his glory and all the holy
angels with him, he shall sit on
the throne of his glory and of the
nations gathered before him he
shall judge every man according
bo his ability. And the man’s abili
ty in certain things will fit him to
do yet other great things. Where
as he has ruled over ten cities, he
will be appointed to rule over
twenty cities.
The man of one talent who shall
be cass into outer darkness where
all opportunity shall be withdrawn,
shall not be so dealt with because
he has had only one talent but be
cause he ha£ not used what he
had. Do well your part, that you
may one day hear the King say to
you, “Well done, good and profit
able servant.”
