T HAT controversial redhead,
Arthur Godfrey, has a mighty
strange method of choosing the
people he “discovers” For
instance, Eddie Fisher had been
discovered by Eddie Cantor and
starred on the latter’s radio show
for some time . . . He had a rec
ord contract and was doing quite
well when he appeared on God
frey’s “Talent Scouts” show, win
ning handily . . . Since then, he
has been automatically dubbed a
“Godfrey discovery” . . . Which
should burn Cantor.
Then there’s the case of talent
ed Pat Boone . . . He, too, had
two gold records (signifying disks
that sell 1,000,000 copies) and was
going great guns when he was
given a spot on the regular show
... He appeared between classes
at Columbia and soon moved on
to Hollywood to make a movie,
something the moguls there had
been attempting to interest him
in for over a year Gong before
Godfrey) . . . Yet there are such
trashy stories appearing in na
tional magazines as “will Pat
Boone get along without Godfrey?”
The question is—will Godfrey get
along without Pat Boone? ? ?
PLATTER CHATTER
MEKCUKY:—The rook ’■ roll
fad has taken such a hold on the
record market that there seems
to be success for only exponents
of this frantic rhythm ... But
Ralph Harterie, master of the
instrumentals (remember his ter
rific “Caravan” and “Skoklaah??”
should crack the barrier with his
new waxing, a real weird-type
song that’s good to charm snakes
by . . . It’s called “Shish-Kebab”
and it’s an Armenian folk dance
dolled up with a bongo beat . . .
This stacks up big . . . Ralph sub
mits to the current rage on the
flip side in “Bop A Doo, Bop A
Doo.”

of the popular “Mangos” • • •

R ETURNING to a favorite fish
ing stream after an absence of
several years can quite often be a
disillusioning experience. The deep
hole where you always managed
to catch a “big one” is no more.
It has been filled in with mud or
sand and the waters are slowly
beginning to cut a new channel.
Familiar landmarks about the
stream, rocks, fallen trees and
brush piles, are no more. And
what’s more, even the fish seem
to have disappeared.
What happened to your favorite
stream? There are a number of
possibilities, but the most likely
answer is pollution. Manufactur
ing waste carelessly dumped into
rivers and streams takes a high
toll of fish population in many
sections of our country. In addi
tion, careless land management
practices allow tons of valuable top
soil to be washed Into streams
by erosion.
Fish need clean, clear water if
they are to survive and prosper.
They are able to reproduce more
juccessfully and grow much fast
er in clear water. When mud or
slit invades the stream not only
does it affect the reproduction rate
but as well it cuts down the avail
able food supply. Clean water con
tains thousands of microscopic or
ganism upon which the small fish
feed—but like the fish, these or
ganisms have difficulty growing
or reproducing in muddy waters.
Legislation, education and a de
sire on the part of industry to co
operate as much as possible has
made chemical pollution of
streams the exception rather than
the rule. But, this type of accident
al stream poisoning will bring
howls of protest from fishermen
who will idly stand by and watch
an equally deadly type of pollution
—form land erosion — ruin their
stream and kill off the fish just as
'.ri-oughly and methodically.

The American Trucking Asso
ciations has just published a fact-
filled “Trucking Trends” booklet,
that tells a lot about those trucks
and trailers you see on your high
ways these days.
For example, it points out that
the 9.9 million private and for-hire
trucks and trailers operating in the
U. S. in 1955 paid $1.9 billion in
special federal, state and local mo
tor vehicle taxes — exclusive of
property and income taxes.
The 1956 taxes will top the $2
billion mark, the booklet says.
Truck and trailer taxes in 1957,
and the years to follow, will in
crease even more sharply as the re
sult of the new highway program.
These figures include state reg
istration, gasoline, motor carrier,
trailer and miscellaneous fees, fed
eral automotive excise taxes, spe
cial city and county taxes, and
bridge, tunnel, ferry and road tolls.
As compared with 1954, the
1955 total was ^p $193 millions.
America’s trucks and trailers,
which comprise about 16 percent of
he vehicles registered, paid 33 per
cent of the 1955 state and local
highway user taxes.
Intercity ton miles hauled by
trucks and trailers went from 215
•o 226 billions and rural vehicles
niles were up from 68 to 70 bil-
•ions.
The average wage paid to high-
vay transportation employees in
1955 rose t<» $5130, almost $300
Higher than the previous year’s
iverage. The average 1955 wage
:or all private industry was $3856.
The AT A also reported the truck
ing industry spent in 1955 over
$34 billions — about ^i 2 °f th®
nation’s gross national product—
for wages, fuel, equipment, other

FARMS AND FOLKS
By J. M. ELEAZER
Clemson Extension Information Specialist
EASY FLOWERS
Day lilies! .
Do you have any? They are
among our easiest flowers to
grow. And they now come in var
ious sizes and colors. They can
be transplanted almost any time.
But spring is best. Once planted,
you will have them with little at
tention required. Although they
respond to reasonable attention
with more and finer flowers.
Day lilies are very drought re
sistant. And the cluster increases.
Every few years you can take
them up, extend your planting, if
desired, and share plants with
neighbors.
TURKISH TOBACCO
Don Matheson and G. D. But
ler. in charge of our field demon
strations of growing aromatic
Turkish tobacco, tells me of in
creased interest in this crop in
practically all up-state counties
where they are working with it.
The Clemson Experiment Sta
tion is dong extensive work on im
proving the variety and perfect
ing an easier and more effective
way of curing this new crop.
There are few new crops like this
we can turn to without competing
with other producing areas some
where in this country. But with
this crop, we import millions of
pounds of it and grow none ex
cept the little now being produced
in these demonstration plantings
in several states of this area.
Thisr work was started here by
our former tobacco specialist, H.
A. McGee, in cooperation with
Duke University and our large to
bacco companies. And this crop
now shows promise as a needed
money crop for family farms in
the upper Piedmont area.
PLANTING COASTAL
“Our grass planting machine
has been running continuously on
Coastal Bermuda,” reports Coun
ty Agent Bailey of Richland. And
Rogers of Allendale reports simi
lar activity Other agents too tell
me of a constantly expanding ac
reage of this great grass. It is a
three-way grass, beating all
others for grazing, hay and silage.
CHANGE IN SALUDA
This is from a recent monthly
report of County Agent Craven
of Saluda:
“Dairying has become big busi
ness in this county in the past
eight years This year will see
the smallest acreage of cotton
planted in the history of the coun
ty”
When I was county agent there
from 1918 to 1923 just about all
of their best land was in cotton.
Last summer I rode for 7 miles
along a main highway there and
didn’t see a field of cotton. Grass
and pines graced the lands cotton
used to claim. It was good grass
and good treesj each a major crop
there now
Far fewer folks on the farms
now But, with this new agricul
ture, less are needed.
Change, change, boy we have
it fchcr© l
VANISHING WORKSTOCK
Workstock is dwindling here.
But going even faster elsewhere.
Look at the great farming state
of Iowa. Fifty years ago it had
1,507,796 horses and mules. Now
it has only 81,000! And most of
these are used here and there for
chores around the place and as
relics, just for old-time sake. I

Chocolate Cereal Dessert Shells
Easy Culinary Treat
The word “cereal?* is derived from the picturesque Roman cere
monies known as “the cerealia” celebrated in mid-April in honor
of Ceres, Goddess of Grain. Today Hie Fourth Annual Spring Cereal
and Milk Festival is celebrated in April. This festival is sponsored
by the breakfast cereal and dairy industries to promote the food
value of cereal and milk.
“You never outgrow your need for cereal and milk.” The cereal
and milk serving provides top-quality protein, quickly available
food energy, essential B-complex vitamins, and important minerals.
An average serving of cereal and milk costs less than five cents.
Penny for penny, few indeed are the foods which, for such small
cost, can make such a contribution to the satisfaction of daily
nutritional requirements.
Desserts are but one of the many ingredient uses of cereal and
milk. Chocolate Oven-toasted Rice Cereal Dessert Shells are easy
to make. When wrapped and stored in a moistureproof container
they keep well up to seven days. Busy homemakers can make them
ahead of the serving day.
Chocolate Oven-Toasted Rice Cereal Dessert Shells
% cup light corn 1 (6 ounces) package semi-sweet
syrup chocolate pieces
% teaspoon 3 cups oven-toasted rice cereal or
salt pre-sweetened rice cereal
Combine corn syrup and salt in large fry pan. Bring syrup to
simmering point over low heat, stirring constantly. Remove from
heat. Add chocolate pieces; stir until chocolate is melted. Add
cereal; stir carefully until cereal is chocolate coated. Cool slightly.
Shape into 8 round, fluffy tart shells or nests 3 Vi inches in
diameter on buttered baking sheet. Cool shells at room tempera
ture. Top with one of the following: a scoop of vanilla, strawberry,
or ’-ntter pecan ice cream; or, orange, lime, or lemon sherbet.

That’s where most of our mules
used to come from. I didn’t see
a single mule colt! So it looks
like most of the remaining work-

’em. For their replacements just
aren’t being raised. Even on small
farms, a cub tractor usually re
