THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 1957 THE NEWBERRY SUN PAGE THREE FARMS AND FOLKS By J. M. ELEAZER Ciemson Extension Information Specialist FARM EFFICIENCY Wallace’s Farmer remarks: '‘Production per farm worker is up 50 ; percent in the past ten years. In industry it is up 35 per cent. But they got paid for it.” How true! It really sometimes looks like the farmer’s efficiency is the means of his undoing. Yet about the most necessary thing there is is the food and fiber he grows. And it does seem a pity, when he provides these es sentials well, he usually has to suffer. Most other groups can produce pretty accurately to fill the need, just enough to hold their price in line. They will shut down a while, if necessary, to hold their ground. Now, we know, the farm er can’t do that, for various reas ons. One of which is the weather. Even the gentle, life-giving shower on the dry land can hurt the faiyner in his pocketbook. Note the early summer headline in a Chicago paper, “Showers Send Wheat Prices Down.” In aj sense, farming is every body’s business. For that which we eat and wear comes mainly from there. Most other groups get a measure of protection through tariffs, wage guarantees, federal grants or ‘write-offs,” etc. With that they are aided in keep ing up their American standard of living. Now, the farm programs are aimed at giving the man who farms something of the sort too. For just about every survey shows his buying power needs some sort of “unearned” dollar too. / EARLY FALL GRAZING PAYS Have you seeded any fall and winter grazing yet? Unless you get it in and up early, you won’t usually have much until spring. For we must get it well-rooted and established before cold weath er femes and largely puts a stop to such growth. It’s often so dry in the late sum mer and early fall that we can’t do much getting grazing in and up. Here’s where irrigation comes in so igood. For you can seed it in the dust, from which it would not otherwise come up, and shoot a little water to it' and have it up in a jiffy. And then it’s ready to shout when the first shower or iadditional irrigation hits it. If you are not established in this winter grazing, ask your county agent or successful neigh bors what seedings are best for your area. We have both advant ages and disadvantages for live stock here. One of our greatest advantages that we need to push hard is the long growing season that cattle can graze. But that aeasori alone does not give it to us. We must plan, plant, fertilize, and manage grazing right to cash in from it. Yes, our advantages for live stock at least put us on an equal footing with other regions; many think they put us ahead. But we have to fully develop them before they count. In every county there are some who have already learn- -ed how to do that. The county agents and other agency workers will likely be conducting tours to see this. Let’s join ’em and learn. For growing grazing is rather new with us. We must master it. Then our cattle business will look bet ter and better. LAURENS PASTURES AND PEPPERS With good spring and early sum mer rains, County Agent Cannon -tells me Laurens had fine early pastures this time. Some cut hay from them and many others just let the long shaggy growth accu mulate there for winter and times of drought. During recent dry weather there this sure came in good. Farmers there also grew 180 acres of pimiento peppers on con tract for a Georgia firm too. National Guard Officers State Convention The National Guard Association of South Carolina will meet in general conference at the Jeffer son Hotel in Columbia on Septem ber 14-15, it was announced to day by Colonel Robert W.

Watkins, director of the South Carolina Opportunity School for adults, today announced the school’s faculty and staff for the fall semester. Mr. Watkins himself holds a new position this year. Formerly assistant director and principal he now heads the school administ ration, succeeding Dr. Wil Lou Gray, who has retired.

The Oppor tunity School also has a spring semester, which completes the re gular school year, and holds a dne-month summer session. Courses at the Opportunity sch ool range from beginning elem entary level through high school and lead toward the acquisition of a state high school certificate. Although the school official re gistration for the fall term is Sep tember 9, students are accepted throughout the school year, and prospective pupils may apply for admission on the alternate Monday of any month. Interested persons should write to the state-operated school: T. D. Watkins, Director, The Op portunity School, West Columbia, S. C. Graduates From Nursing School Miss Anne Cambell, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. S. C. Campbell of Newberry, was graduated from the Columbia Hospital School of Nursing on August 26, in exer cises held at the First Presbyter ian Church. Miss Campbell had the distinction of receiving a me dal, presented by the Medical Auxiliary in Columbia, for attain ing the best record in studies and work during the three year course. Attending the exercises, in addit ion to her parents, were her aunt, Miss Josephine Shannon, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Folk, Mrs. S. W. Brown, Harold Folk and William son Folk. INDIANS BEGIN . . - (Continued from page 1) At the pivot Dave Sokevitz, a 185 pound junior from Youngs town, Ohio, in the likely choice. BaBcking Sokevitz at center will be Conley Jumper, a sophomore letterman and Bill Corley. Both men are battling hard for the up per hand. The big backfield question mark is in the untested, small, young and fast crew of halfbacks. Bobby Rowe of Georgetown and Horace Turbeville from Camden are the only halfbacks with any game ex perience. All halfback depth is com posed of freshmen and sophmores who have seen little or no game action. However Bob Yarnell of Springfield, Pa. and Homer Monts of Lexington have been looking good in pre-season drills. Fresh men Tony Fortune of Greenwood and Richard Seastrunk of Sum merville are showing promise. Terry Dukes, Newberry's “Man of the Hour” last Thanksgiving when he led the Steve Peterson inspired Indians to a 13-0 shut out over the P. C. Blue Hose, is the choice for the quarterback chores. Dukes is small, bui very smart, sly, and tricky. He will be backed by Joe Coviello, a Marquett transfer. Coviello is big 6’0”, 190 pounds. He can run, pass and kick. With just a little more seasoning, under Kirkland he will be hard to cope with. Other quarterback re serves are veteran Scotty Speares, a sophomore from Anderson, and Richard Phillips, a punting spec ialist from Graniteville. Bobby Stokes, a former end, has been switched to fullback to put his aggressiveness as a blocker to greater service. Stokes is' capable of being a mean fullback with all the hustle and drive to make him great. Ray Waters, a sophomore who played the fullback most of last season is pushing Stokes along with Charles Gibson and Danny Doar. As the opener with The Citadel on September 21 nears a deadline, Kirkland is shaping his Redskins as a team to keep the Cadets alert with a wide open offensive battle or a strong defensive contest. College Frosh Start Schooling Next Monday Approximately 200 new students will be on hand to begin the Freshman Orientation Program at Newberry College on Monday, Sep tember 9. All freshmen are re quired to be present for the en tire four-day program on Sept ember 9, 10, 11, and 12. Fresh men will be registered on Septem ber 11.

Desirable Lots For Sale Safety Hints For School Children And Motorists Although the sound of the school bell may have been replac ed by a buzzer or the Blast of the school bus horn, the problem of child safety to and from school still remains with us, cautioned the S. C. State Motor Club today. “It would be wonderful if scien tific research could turn Up an anti-accident vaccine so that chil dren could be vaccinated against traffic fatalities during the com ing school year,” said Thomas B. Watkins, the motor club’s execu tive vice president, “but without a Dr. Salk of traffic safety in our midst, the safety of our children is still pretty much of a home cure. “Parents and motorists must take the time and responsibility to see that children are protected as much as possible. If your child walks to school, find a safe route. Walk along it yourself and see what conditions are, then take your child along, explaining the most dangerous spots, and tell him how to cross streets and in tersections.” For the suburban dweller who depends on school buses to trans port his children, Watkins advis ed, “Check to see where your child boards the bus. Is it a safe area well back from traffic? Explain the dangers of the spot to the child. Check the schedule of the bus and see that the child arrives in time—but not too early—to board the bus. An early arrival means waiting and possible dart ing into the street. Arriving late, the child may disregard traffic in an attempt to be on time.” Watkins also had advice for drivers. “Be very careful when approaching school zones or streets where children may be walking or playing. A careless moment here could mean another child fatality. “In the absence of a vaccine to wipe out traffic accidents, this home remedy is the best possible cure—but it’s up to you,” conclud ed Watkins.

Financier and elder statesman Bernard Baruch celebrated 87th birthday at Sar atoga Springs, N. Y. Said he’d go to Moscow if he could aid world peace. REV. ROBERT H. HARPER LABOR DAY W HILE it may be facetiously observed that Labor Day is not a day in which much labor is done, it is a great reminder of weighty problems that disturb the relations Of capital and labor, and might be used to foster a har monious relation between two great groups in our American Life. Let men in their churches today consecrate themselves unto God and seek his guidance as citizens of our country and laborers for the great King. For upon the right relation between capital and labor depends the welfare of a hundred and sixty million Americans. The writer is not a member of any union and he never hopes to be a capitalist, nor to have anything above his daily needs, and he is not qualified to decide and advise in problems that arise betweeh capital and labor. But he can point to a passage of Scripture about sitting where they sat. And there is another, that tells that Jesus said, “Come.unto me, all ye that labor, and are heavy-laden, and I will give you rest.” Yes, the spirit of Christ, undertanding and tolera tion should keep men together happily doing the world’is work. So mote it be. EASY... LET NEWSPAPER ADS WORK FOR YOU-TO SELL. BUY- RENT, OR TRADE- PLACE AN AD WITH US. THEN SIT BACK' AND WAIT FOR SURE-FIRE RESULTS.
