FARMS AND FOLKS
By J. M. ELEAZER
Ciemson Extension Information Specialist
GRAIN STORAGE
Increased grainfarming, and the
need for keepin g ifcfor livestock
feed throughout the year, is call
ing for more and more safe stor
age. Large commercial storage
has come at places and we will
likely have more of that. And on
the farm storage is a need too in
many places. At places I see that
coming fast too.
In Hampton I've noted a lot of
metal bin farm storage now for
some years. And it's growing
there, according to County Agent
Thon^pson, He tells me 10 farmers
built 88,500 bushels of such stor
age capacity there the past year
' That's permanent construction,
steel on concrete.
Labor is such a big item that
we need to build for permanence
new, whether it's grain storage,
a pair of outside stp"®, or a fence.
JASPER FARM MARKET
County Agent Tate of Jasper
tells me their Marketing Commit
tee plans to have their County
Farmers’ Market ready for hand
ling snap beans, cucumbers, toma
toes and watermelons this year.
Marketing is surely one of the
biggest farm problems of today.
Barnwell built one at Blackville
last year this time and County
Agent Shelley said it served a
great purpose there on cucum-
bers, cantaloupes, and water
melons.
Growing good stuff and har
vesting and putting it on the mar
ket is a big part of the marketing
job. For good products are usually
easy to sell. But poor stuff is al
most always disappointing when
anyone tries to sell it.
Quality products need to be our
constant aim, says J. E. Young
blood, our marketing man. And
that starts with the crop you se
lect, the seed you use, the land
you put it on, your fertilization,
insect and disease control, har
vesting and handling it right, and
delivering it to the market shed
lilott-it should be. With new crops,
a fellow dees not know all of
that. Your county agent and
marketing men can be helpful to
y°Jfi vit&Athose things. Try to un
derstand what you are going in-
tp be?9r k e trying a new crop, spec
ially truck.
TOUGH MEAT
Research studies show that in
heritance has something to do
with the toughness of meat, Inay-
t>e something like 50 percent.
Other factors affecting tender-
yiess include age, management
practices, sex and fatness.
Selection and breeding will
likely be used a lot in the future
"to give us naturally tenderer meats.
And, from the work already done,
Scientists are sure a lot can be
done in that direction.
ed to the things the family likes
best, mulched, and watered as
needed can soon leave a hundred
or so dollars in your pocket that
Would otherwise have to go for
fresh vegetables from the store.
And, if you are like me, you'll have
a lot of fun messing with that
garden too. But one caution is
needed. Don’t make it too big!
Most folks get too ambitious at
this season, as that spring urge
gets into their bones to plant
things. And they spread all out in
planting a garden. Soon the grass
and heat of summer come and they
tire. The result is, grass soon
consumes the area and you are
liable to get bit if you venture
out there. A small clean producing
garden’s the thing.

WORLD OUTDOORS
VV;
ITS QUALITY NOW
South Carolina's percentage
growth with cattle the past 7
years has been the greatest of
any state. Now it is for us to
learn and improve our know-how.
County Agent Grainger of Clar
endon says the size of their herds
didn't change much the past year.
^‘But the quality and number of
5good beef produced has Increas
ed right along as a result of im
proved breeding, culling and feed
ing practice's, he says:
.ADD TO YEAR'S INCOME
One way we can add to this
year’s income is by saving on the
rfood bill. And this can be done by
growing a good all-season garden
rthis time.
In recent years folks have neg
lected the home garden, orchard,
truck patches, farm flock, the
Tamily cow, etc.
Now is gardening time. Even
a small garden made fertile, plant-

Befose you choose your gear,

fishermen know only one thrill—

BOYS ARE
THAT WAY
By J. M. ELEAZER
Early recollection carrifes me
back to the peddlers that trudged
through the Stone Hills on foot.
They were always newcomers to
this country, or “foreigners”, as
we called them.
They would come by heme sev
eral times a year. Each carried
two enormous canvas covered tel
ecope valises. They would come
several months apart. They spoke
very broken English, carried all
s its of fancy work, silk garments,
linens, and the like. We kids were
scared of ‘em. But we were thrilled
to stand sort of behind our moth
er’s full skirt and see the magic
things he pulled out of those val
ises. With wide-eyed wonder, I
watched as he unloaded his treas
ure. I wondered how he would
ever get all that stuff back in
em!
He could not be easily turned
off and insisted on showing hi*
wares. He would spread them all
over the room there. We kids lik'
ed the bright gawdy things he had
and would nudge our mother, tid
ing to make her buy them. We
usually bought something, sort
of felt hurt if we didn’t after he
had gone to all of that trouble.
Then he would pack everything
up, after giving us a handkerchief
or napkin, if we had bought much
He would hook the straps secure
ly and then buckle the harness
on the valises good. With a great
heave, he raised the connecting
harness to his shoulder, and you
could hear the buckles squeak as
they took on their load. With one
large valise bulging with goods
in front of him and ihe other
hanging from his back, he would
trudge on down the road with a
burden suitable for an ox. I al
ways wondered where they stay
ed at night. Think they must have
slept out somewhere. They always
looked pale and undernourished
Those fellows sure made it the
hard way. They were rather new
immigrants, usually alone in this
new country, earning enough pen
nies to send back to the Old
Country for passage for their
family. Many of them later open
ed stores and grew into merchant
princes in to whs bqth big and
small.

WRITES EASTLAND ON
FORCE BILLS
The action of the Constitutional
Rights subcommittee of the Sen
ate Judiciary Committee in ap
proving a so-called civil rights
bill has caused me great concern.
I have written a letter to Sena
tor Eastland of Mississippi, chair
man of the Senate Judiciary Com
mittee, urging him to call new
hearings on the bills by the full
Committee. I pointed out that the
bill reported favorably by the sub
committee would severely restrict
the rights of individuals and the
States, i ;
In my opinion, the holding of
further hearings on the bills is
essential and necessary. The vote
in the subcommittee to approve
the proposals was only 4 to 2.
SPLIT ON TRIAL BY JURY
On the question of making it
possible to deny the right of trial
by jury in civil cases when the
United States Department of
Justice enters the case, the vote
was 3 to 3. Actually, therefore,
the subcommittee was split ex
actly in half on this vital ques
tion.
I do not believe the American
people want to see the Senate of
the United States or even its Ju
diciary Committe—approve a law
to deny the right of trial by jury.
This is a fundamental right* guar
anteed to every American by the
Constitution.
OBJECTS TO ALL
PROVISIONS
All of the provisions of the
civil rights bill approved by the
subcommittee are objectionable
and obnoxious to me. I am strong
ly opposing the denial of the
right to trial by jury because I
consider it to be a blow at a basic
principle on which this nation was
founded.
lam confident that Senator
Eastland will not lightly pass
over the objections which have
been voiced to the so-called civil
rights bHls. But I wanted him to
know how South Carolinians feel
about the bills.
Also, I would like for the full
Judiciary Committee to have the
opportunity to hear the views of
some South Carolinians. Those
who appeared before the sub
committee did a magnificent job.
FDIC RECOGNIZES RIGHT OF
STATE
During the past week, the Sen
ate has been considering a bill
dealing with banking laws.
One of the problems that came
up in connection with this legis
lation was whether federal auth
orities, such as the Comptroller
of the Currency, the Federal Re
serve Board, or the Federal De
posit Insurance Corporation,
should have authority over merg
ers of purely State banks.
I was able to secure a letter
from the General Counsel of the
FDIC.
/ ‘T wish to assure you on behalf
of I he Corporation,” he said, “that
it will not consent to any transac
tion, under this section o;' the
law, involving a State bank,
without the prior approval of the
State banking authority, if such
approval is required by State
law.” I am including this letter in
the Congressional Record as proof
of this recognition of the right of
the States.
VETERANS HEARINGS
CONTINUE
This past week I have been
holding hearings as chairman of
the Veterans Affairs subcommit
tee. The bills under consideration
propose to extend to veterans of
peace-time service various bene
fits now received under the G. I.
Bill of Rights by Korean War
veterans.
Those who have testified in
clude: Veterans Administration
officials, Defense Department of
ficials, General Hershey of Se
lective Service, Senator Case of
South Dakota and Senator Morse
of Oregon.
The hearings will probably con
tinue for another month before
the subcommittee begins to con
sider whether legislation is need
ed.
STUDIES AUTO MARKET
PRACTICES
I have also been busy with the
Auto Marketing Practices sub-
corrmictee hearings. We are con*
cinuing to study financing prac
tices of the credit companies to
determine if legislation is needed
to protect the public more ade
quately on credit and insurance
charges.

who buys a ticket will receive an
interesting guide book which is
filled with lovely pictures and de
scriptions of the homes, gardens,

dition to the guidebook, they will
receive a map and an itinerary so
that they may proceed through
the tour without complication in
locating these interesting places.
It will not be difficult to locate
Smeltzer Hall which ia on. the
Newberry College campus facing
College Street. Smeltzer Hall was
the first building of Newberry Col
lege which was chartered on De
cember 20* 1856. The college was
to be supported by the South
Carolina Lutheran Synod, and the
first elected president was Dr.
Theophilus Stork, D. D.
Upon the outbreak of the War
Between the States, the hall waa
used as a Confederate Hospital.
After the fall of the Confederacy,
a regiment of Union soldiers were
quartered here, and the building
was sorely abused.
In 2904 this original college
building was made into a dormi
tory for men, and the dormitory
was named Smeltzer Hall in
memory of President Smeltzer
who had been devoted to the col
lege during his lifetime.
Smeltzer Hall was not remod
eled for a dormitory for women
until 1928. Since then it has been
a home for the women students
except for an interlude during
World War II when a Navy V-12
Training Unit and Commanding
Officer were housed there.
This historic old pink brick
building of Colonial style is sit
uated in a beautiful setting of
handsoipe old trees with a lovely
curved driveway leading to the
entrance from College Street: The
interior which is very attractive

George’s Iris. Most Newberrians
are quite familiar with a tiny lit
tle garden at 1608 Caldwell street
which belong to George B. Ear-
hardt. This garden, which is pack
ed in every nook and cranny with
the newest, loveliest and most col
orful types of iris available, was
started about seventeen years ago
when Mr. Earhardt, » printer by
trade, planted a few iris roots in
his yard. Boon the beautiful iris
became the star of the pllace as
more and more new varieties were
added. At present this garden
boasts some two hundred varie
ties including most of tl^e new
1957 iris introduction such as Gob
den Blaze, Paper Doll, May Megie^
Taholahy and others which f Will
bloom this spring. • .'i
Like roses, irises have been k
part of the city’s historical and
legendary heritage. They are es
pecially useful in the flower bor
der, in the rock garden and in
association with pools and
streams. Because of their delicate
texture and sparking hues it isi
appropriate that they should have
been named in honor of the God
dess of the Rainbow. Mr. Eat 1 -
hardt has said that the iris is pos
sibly the only hardy plant in the
world that flowers in all of the
“primary” colors; that is red, yel
low and blue. All other colors are
merely mixtures and blende of
these primary colors; hence the
infinite and amazing tints, tones,
shades, and ’ combinations that
make iris truly a goddess of tlie
flower world.
