ELEAZER BEAUTY ON ICE . , . Screen actress Barbara Nichols tries to escape effects of Los Angeles' heat wave by coddling np to sev eral ice The first soft drink to come to our Stone Hills of the Dutch Fork was Iron Brew. It dates back to my earlies recollection. Must have been about 1900. It came in bottles with rubber stoppers that latched on with a metal fixture. You could drink part of it, turn the latch down with stopper in place and it would reseal. , We liked that stuff. But it didn’t last long. It lost out to a drink we liked better, “Cream Soda.” That was my favorite for a long time. And when it dis appeared. I didn’t see it again for perhaps 40 years, until of late I saw it again. It still tasted good. I think it has some other name now, but is the same thing. Along in there the first Coca Cola came. It was shipped up from Columbia to White Rock in about 6 dozen heavy wooden cases with tops that locked on as they do now. At first we drank it as it was, for there was no artificial ice in the Stone Hills. The country store at the foot of the hill there be low our house kept it in tubs of cool water on Saturdays, when most folks were likely to be in. That with a wet burlap sack over the protruding bottles made a sort of iceless refrigera tor from the cooling effecjt of evaporation. At times he’d put it in a bucket and let it down in the well to cool. But as things advanced, we did in the Fork too. And ice started coming to White Rock and Chapin on the noon train on S&turdays. It came in sacks with sawdust around it. A few chunks of that in an old wooden tub and covered with burlap, those drinks were a treat for sure, the first cold things we had ever had in the summer time. We kids liked to hold our thumbs over the mouth of the bottle, shake it, and let it spray into our mouths. S6on that strength would die out, and we had just a little of the drink and a lot of foam left. But it was good to the very last and we sipped that bottle long. FARMS AND FOLKS By J. M. ELEAZER Clemson Extension Information Specialist MORE PEOPLE The farmer is largely in the feeding and clothing . business. That is, feeding and clothing earth’s growing millions. Our country is now the fastest growing one. Births are much fas ter than deaths. Every 12 seconds, day and night, our net population increases by one. Tliat’s 5 a min ute, 200 an hour, 7,200 a day, 216,- 000 a month, and 2,628,000 a year! Our population is now over 170 million. Fifty years ago it was just half that. The number of farmers has been going down, drastically^of late. Yet farm know-how has advanced so we still make more food and fiber than markets will take at a living price for the farmer. And the government has to come in and try to help in varied ways. As it is, the many who handle, transport, and merchandise farm products usually get their fixed charges and mark-ups. The farm er alone is the cushion that has to take just about all of the shocks. And many of these often squeeze just about all of the profits out of his operation. Profits are not all he frequently foregoes. Stag gering losses too are all too com mon for the good health *>f this basic industry, agriculture. Surely, before long we will reach that happy point where dwindling farthers will no longer be reduc ing more than our growing pop- lation needs. And that will be a good day. But the uncertainties of the season make a pretty good backlog of food and fiber desir able. However, they should not be allowed to choke the producer. TRUCK CROPS TO THE PEE DEE In the wake of heavy cuts in tobacco and cotton acreages, the Pee Dee area has organized for a serious swing with truck, the county agent tells me. County Agent Gray of Darling ton says over 300 growers are working/'tbgether there for mark eting watermelons, cucumbers, to- Summer Session • At Opportunity School, Columbia The South Carolina Opportunity School, West Columbia, where ad ults go back to classrooms for a “second chance” in education, will hold its summer session June 17- July 13. State-operated and tax-support ed, the Opportunity School is open to persons who seek to resume elementary or high school studies interrupted during youth. Courses lead toward to acquisition of a high school certificate. The program is particularly de signed for persons needing basic education in grades one through 12; students working toward high school certificates; veterans who found themselves handicapped in military service by lack 'of educa tion; high school graduates wish ing residential experience; and “senior citizens” desiring to par ticipate in special workshops. In addition to basic subjects, the school also offers courses in ceramics, shop, home economics, typing, world affairs (discussion). The Speech and Hearing Cor rection Program of the State De partment of Education, under the supervision of Jesse Agnew, will again hold four one-week insti tutes for children, accompanied by parent, concurrently with the Op portunity School summer school. Articulation, stuttering, hard of hearing, and special problems will matoes, and peppers. Bowen of Sumter tells me they have 790 acres of early tomatoes being centrally marketed. And Linder of Lee reports they have 250 acres of tomatoes. Jackson of Williamsburg tells of varied truck crops there, as does Johnston of Horry, Willis of Chesterfield, Tate of Jasper, and Rogers of Flor ence, where a new market has been constructed. Much local plan ning and help from Clemson Specialists went into all of this. WEED CONTROL IN THE PIEDMONT With more and more grain, weeds offer a greater threat. But, thanks to science we need no long er have our grain fields hogged up by weeds. For spraying at the right time will get the most troub lesome ones, like mustard, thistle and others. County Agent McCarley of Ker shaw says 10 new spray machines were purchased in the county last spring for weed control in grain and pastures. Cannon of Laurens reports simi lar increased activity against weeds. Ezell of Newberry says, “Early weed control on permanent pas tures and small grain has be come a common practice.” And Cochran of Union tells me of a farm tour to see successful weed control there back in the spring. Clemson’s Ernest Turner says, “Weeds are easiest killed in the small or seedling stage. And that has the added advantage of pre venting reseeding." Get full details for fighting weeds from your county agent and from free publications there in his office. EARLY MELONS County Agent Shelley told me they started planting watermel ons the week of March 11 in Barnwell. That’s early. Guess I had better be getting down that way. Some of ’em might be get ting red inside. be dealt with. “Life Begin at Sixty,” “Litera ture for Senior Citizens,” and “Know Your State,” are subjects to be explored in workshops for “senior citizens.” Another special feature, an “Office Practice Workshop,” is open to any office worker, and especially sought are recent high school graduates who want to pre pare further for a career. A play school will provide for the children while mothers are at tending the classes. A special Red Cross Nursing Course (girls), and swimming and first aid (boys) will also be avail able for students in the regular session. Cost of the summer session is small.
