BOYS ARE
THAT WAY
By J. M. ELEAZER
As kids, we were rather re
stricted in our eating. We liked
the cooking of the Dutch Fork,
where we were raised. And we
thought any other was sort of
funny.
I guess we are all that way.
The things we were raised on
have found their place with us,
and they tarry on through life.
Just the other day I was invit
ed to their Farm Bureau picnic
down in the Dutch Fork. Such
an array of tasty food I hadn’t
seen since I left there! But
there were two things I missed,
stickies and mixed-bread. They
always had the knack of cooking
both of those that bring back
memories fair to any Dutchman
who has strayed from those
fond pastures. But the pies,
cakes, chicken, country ham,
etc., were there with their old-
time profusion and goodness.
Since leaving there 40 years
ago, I’ve learned to like outside
cooking. But it used to be hard
for a new dish to win its way
into our menu. And usually we
had to taper on ’em gradually
before they tasted good. There
was one new food that tasted
good to me the first time I ever
tasted it. And that was oatmeal.
A progressive c neighbor across
the road got some, tried it, and
sent us a little. From the first
taste of it, it was like finding
a long-lost luxury, and it filled
an opening in my appetite, a
sort of void, that was just wait
ing for it.
Another thing that hit the
spot on the first sip was iced
tea. It came with the first ice
Mr. John Richardson got on the
Saturday afternoon train at
White Rock about 1900, when I
was 5 years old. It too was a
sort of missing link that filled
a spot in my there-to-fore un
fulfilled desires. And to this
day, it is the best drink I know.
We used it the year round. With
ice on the trees or snow on the
ground, there’s slill ice in my
glass with the tempting amber
liquid over it.

Clemson Extension Information Specialist
IRRIGATING PEANUTS
Experiment stations and farm
ers here have irrigated most com
mon crops v and found it pays. But
I had never seen it tried on pea
nuts. The Oklahoma Experiment
Station has, completed two years’
work on that last year and the
year before. They got an aver
age yield increase of 37 percent.
It not only increased the yield
that much, but the quality was
improved also. The irrigated pea
nuts had 25 percent more sound
mature kernels than those not ir
rigated.
It now appears that it will pay
to irrigate any crop we grow
when drought strikes. -
This year started off fine here.
Up through mid-June showers
were perfect, and tdo mtich at
places. But July and early Aug
ust saw drought come and ruin
many a fine crop prospect, where
irrigation was not available.
Ponds galore! We are still
building ’em over the state. And
spring rains this year filled some
for the first time. Water is the
big problem, when we think of ir
rigation. We get a fairly ample
supply during the year. But it
does not always come when we
need it. And then it has run away
to the sea and does us no good.
So catching a lot of it and hold
ing it for droughty times is our
problem. That entails good farm
ing, to get as much of it as pos
sible to soak into the soil. Then
it also entails storage in ponds
and reservoirs for times of
drought.
AT LONG LAST
For years the meat trade call
ed for a leaner, meatier type hog,
the reason being they could get
more of the higher priced lean
cuts out of them. And that’s what
the public wanted. But they offer
ed no more for such hogs. So the
farmer’s reaction was, why upset
his breeding program and try to
make the change.
The packers’ trade organization,^
“The American Meat Institute,”
now recommends that hogs be
bought on a merit basis. Now,
folks, this is good news. It is
sure to hasten the breeding
adoption of leaner types of meaty
hogs.
The first packer I heard of in
the country offering a premium
for such hogs was not in the
corn-hog belt, as we might have
expected. It was none other than
our own Greenwood Packing Com
pany. They not only started it
some years ago, but backed it up
by getting lean-type boars from
Clemson and elsewhere and letting
their patrons have them at cost.
The fat-type hog came years
ago, when there was a big home
and foreign market for lard. But
that dried up a lot when vegetable
fats came in in a big way, and
all of that lard was not needed.
So now, with the cooperation of
the packers, breeders are tailor
ing the hqg to best meet present
demands for leaner pork. The ex- j
perts tell me lean can be made
as cheap or cheaper than fat, pro
vided the animal has that inherit
ed tendency bred into it. And less
fat is more healthful too, we are;
told.
PIMIENTO PEPPERS
On the last day of July I saw
a big trailer-load of peppers pull
ing out of Greenville. County
Agent Jones . told me that was
their first sale day. With good
seasons, this crop will be harvest
ed each week until fall. It is
grown commercially in severa up
state counties on contract with a
Georgia cannery at Griffin. 'JTne
agents tell me it has proved to
be a fairly good money crop, ex
cept the series of dry summers
we have had practically ruined it,
with other things, at places. Ir
rigation results have been out
standing, where this new practice
has been applied to peppers.
GOOD COTTON IN SUMTER
County Agent Bowen of Sumter
tells me they are now harvesting
one of their better cotton crops.
Poison properly applied accounts
largely for it, he says. So much
weevil poisoning is carelessly
done. But there acreages are
