CRABGRASS, A DOUBLE PEST
Crabgrass is about the worst
pest we have in cultivated crops.
And we regard it mainly in that
role. But, I want to tell you, for
the cotton grower, it has another
very bothersome aspect. And
that’s in the picked seed cotton
itself.
This is specially so where me
chanical picking is used. For some
of the strands of crabgrass are
sure to get in with the cotton.
And the gin people have had ut
most difficulty in trying to de
velop cleaners to get it out. The
gin saws it, and parts of its
fiber gets in with the lint cotton
causing endless trouble in the
| spinning process.
The cotton harvest is only about
a month off. Do everything you
can to keep that late grass out
of your crop. Skippy cotton is
worse for it than where you have
a good stand. If you have much
grass, it will make your cotton
so it can’t be effectively harvest-
led with a mechanical picker. And
you’ll have to caution and watch
After the hand pickers mighty
close.
And, as our Sam Williams sug
gests, then be careful in handling
the picked cotton in the field that
you dbn’t get grass in it.
WATCH SOYBEANS FOR
BUGS NOW
August hnd early September are
the times to expect bug outbreaks
on soybeans our Carl Nettles re
minds. The armyworm and the
corn earworm are the main two.
The remedy is the same for both,
30 per cent DDT. And 20 percent
toxaphene can also be used on the
Armyworm.
Unless you keep a rather keen
watchout, both of these pests can
get the jump on you. And they
are both hard to kill when they
get up the same size, and too
they have done a lot of damage
by then .
The armyworms are most likely
to start on beans that have a lot
of grass in them. So it would
specially pay to watch such spots.
The corn earworms are hard to
detect at first.' You’ll find the tiny
worms feeding on the buds and
tender seed pods. Their main feed
ing is on the tender beans there
in the pods, and their workis
not so easily noticed as that of
the armyworm that eats the foil-
age* Yet they can be equally as
destructive. For you will think
you have beans there and there’s
nothing but hulls and forage.
We have a lot of soybeans in
South Carolina. A n< ^ year we
have a lot of new growers. Folks,
watch for these two worms in ’em
and protect your crop, if needed,
in time. If you forget what to
use, ask your county agent.
SCARCE MANURE
With the going of workstock
and the building of a livestock
industry mainly on grazing and
the self-harvest of crops, very
little manure is accumulated in
lots and stables anymore. Folks
around villages and towns who
could once get a load for flowers,
lawn, or garden, now find it all
but impossible. Some high grade
manures like dried poultry and
sheep manure is put up in sacks
under brands and sold at fancy
prices, as plant foods go.
I know a fellow in Sumter who'
borrowed a truck and went to a
friend’s farm down in Bamberg to
get a load of compost to start
shrubbery and lawn on a new place
with. Not that there isn’t still
some of that vital item of soil
fertility in Sumter, bu|t it is
scarce there, as elsewhere, and
that fellow had to go to where
he had a friend to get it.
Now the manure is scattered on
the land by the livestock, where,
handled right, it does its gooil
without calling for all that labor
needed in the old way to get it
back out on the land. But the
home gardener and town man is
going to have to look elsewhere
for his organic fertility. In the
field there is a way to get it, as
pointed out above, from livestock
droppings, and from crop residues
turned under. We do a lot of that
where grain is grown, its refuse
turned under, soybeans seeded
there, and theh their rich residues
turned under too.

FINAL FATE OF CIVIL RIGHTS
BILL UNDETERMINED
The final fate of the so-called
civil rights bill has not yet been
determined, but whatever happens
now, the teeth have been pulled
from the original bill v which came
to the Senate from the House of
Representatives.
I stated-in the Senate on Aug
ust 6 in opposition to passage of
the bill that:
‘*The so-called civil rights bill
should have been entitled a bill
to empower the Attorney General
to deprive certain citizens of their
right to trial by jury. Also, it
should have been labelled as an
implement intended to be used
to force integration of the races
in the public schools.”
I am thankful there were enough
members of the Senate who con
sidered the facts, as we presented
them in debate, and helped us
Southerners to pull out the sharp
est teeth.
AMENDMENTS CUT POWER
OF BILL
The amendments which we en
acted greatly reduced the power
which would have been placed in
the hands of the Attorney Gen-,
eral. Authority was removed from
the bill for use of military forces
in cases of alleged civil rights
violations. The Commission to
study Civil rights matters was
required to report to Congress
as well as to the President. Mem
bers of the proposed Commission
were made subject to confirmation
by the Senate.
Other amendments narrowed and
more adequately defined the powers
of federal judges in contempt?
proceedings.
All of these amendments have
vastly ameliorated the original
obnoxiousness of H. R.^6127. How
ever, nothing could entirely re
move my objections to the bill
except its defeat. The bill was
submitted to the American peo
ple as a right-to-vote bill, when
actually it was a force bill. .
ONLY 18 VOTED AGAINST BILL
Eighteen of us voted against
the bill when it was finally ap
proved by the Senate. However,
there were 72 Senators who voted
for the bill in its watered-down
form.
Now the bill, as passed by the
Senate, must be taken up by the
House of Representatives. Several
courses might be followed by the
House. If a majority of the House
should vote to accept the bill as
amended by the Senate, it would
then be sent to the President for
his consideration. Either he would
have to sign the bill or veto it.
Although , there has been some
talk that the President might veto
the bill unless the jury trial
amendment is weakened, I would
be surprised if he did.
In the event the House of Rep
resentatives does not approve the
bill passed by the Senate, it will
ask for a conference with the
Senate on the bill. Then mem
bers of both the House and Sen
ate would be appointed to try to
reach an agreement on it. They
would be limited to making a re
port between the extreme bill
passed by the House and the more
moderate bill approved by the
Senate. They could not make
changes outside those limits.
CONFERENCE WOULD HAVE
THREE CHOICES
Members of a conference com
mittee could make one of three
recommendations to the House
and Senate: They could recom
mend that the House accept the
Senate amendments; they could
recommend that the Senate re
cede from its amendments and ac
cept the House version; or they
could recommend changes in the
Senate amendments and that both
houses accept a version different
from the one they passed.
It is likely that a conference
committee would recommend the
third course I have described.
Then the question in each house
would be whether to accept the
report of the conference commit
tee.
AGREEMENT WOULD BE
DIFFICULT
However, there is much discus
sion here as to whether a confer
ence committee could ever agree
on changes in the Senate amend
ments which would be acceptable
to a majority of the members of
both houses.
You will recall that 51 Senators
voted for the jury trial amend-’
ment and 42 voted against it. Any
change in this amendment would
cause several members of the
Senate to face a difficult decis
ion. But the House passed its ex
treme version of the bill by a ma
jority of two to one. Because of
that, many House members might
want to demand a much stronger
bill that the Senate passed.

WISE, UNACCEPTABLE”

Senators who voted against the

Childhood’s memories lead to
the woodpile that lay back of
every house.
It was important in our lives,
and absolutely essential. It al
ways had a gnarled chopping
block. That was usually an old
log or large piece of wood with
such a bad knot in it you couldn’t
work it up for. the fireplace. It
was on this that you lay smaller
pieces of wood to be worked up
with the axe for fireplace or cook-
stove.
Chips of wood and pieces of
bark naturally accumulated so
thick there that weeds did not come
through. On that block too is
where we chopped the heads of
poultry off when being killed for
the table. They would bounce and
jump around there a few seconds
but wouldn’t get dirty there in
the chips.
Those chips served the useful
purpose as kindling for our fires.
Yes, there they were a mixture of
tyardwood splinters, chips, and bark
and of pine too, some of its bits
being rich with pitch. You could
ball up a piece of paper, scatter
those chips over it, lay your wood
on. light it, and soon have a good
fire going in fireplace or stove.
But they had to be dry. So when
they were, we’d pick up baskets
full and puUem under the house.
And gourds usually grew out
there around the woodpile too. I
don’t remember they’d just volun
teer there each year. No attention
at all was paid to them, us never
planting them. But nothing much
bothers a gourd vine and some of
them always gained a hold and
overran the outer areas there be
fore frost. Then the mature gourds
lay all around. We did nothing
much with them except as an
occasional repleacement of the one
used as a dipper down at the spring
or those hung on poles for martins
to nest in.

The answer is, because the plan is easily under
stood. With each payment made on your loan, both
principal and interest reduces. You know exactly how
many installments you will have to make to retire the
loan both as to principal and interest.
The interest rate is reasonable, and is amortized
monthly—that is—your interest is calculated on the re
ducing balance. ’
You can be sure of debt-free home ownership if you
finance your home here.
Loans made for New construction, Refinancing ex
isting mortgages which are burdensome, Repairs to
existing construction, Complete Remodeling or for
any purpose.
A few minutes will show you how our plan will save
you money over a period of years.
