I REMEMBER
BY T!t£ 018 TIMtftS
From Mrs. Fred II. Cook. Mur
freesboro. Tenn.: A few weeks
past an uncle died nt the afie of
!U His passinji was the Inst link
to the Old Timers or pioneers in
oor community who were in di-
nut contact with the early wave
of migration from North Carolina
that came here in the early Eight-
ernth Century.
He could sit for hours and re
late the experiences of his par
ents crossing the mountains in an
ox cart which held all their house
furnishings, pots and pans and a
few homemade quilts. They drove
their cows and hogs ahead of them
and the tinkling of the cowbells
was all that broke the intense still
ness of the forest, except for the
broad axe that was used to clear
away the forest for a road.
W r hen they arrived here, the
few pioneers who had already set
tled down stopped to help build
the cabin—two rooms, one on top
of the other; no floor (just dirt);
no windows, only a door hung on
leather hinges, with a large board
placed across the door to bar it at
night.
Above the door was a place for
the rifle, one of the most impor
tant items to a pioneer. He con
sidered himself naked if he didn’t
have a Barlow knife, rifle and a
broad axe of mattock. These were
necessary for survival in lonesome
regions where houses were miles
apart.

K.DISTO CANTALOUPE
SCORES
Lust year Clemson’s Edisto
Station released its new cantaloupe
the Edisto, bred by Dr. M. B.
Hughes there. It was bred for
quality and disease resistance.
And the bad cantaloupe season
we have just passed through prov
ed it has more of those qualities
than any other variety. In fact,
at most places, other sorts were
complete failures, whereas this
Edisto melon did make a fair crop.
Listen to what County Agent
Hubbard of Bamberg has to say
about it;
“Not often 1 is there a year when
i new variety of a crop will show
such outstanding superiority as did
the Edisto cantaloupe this year.
Only 3 pounds of seed were planted
in Bamberg cojnty, bi*t these
plantings were about the only
ones bearing enough to pay their
way. Needless to say, this makes
the acceptance of this variety
assured, and already requests are
being made for seed for next
season.”
Our certified seed man, Bob
Garrison, tells me we should have
a fairly adequate supply of these
seed the coming year,. Clemson’s
Pontiac Station produced a lot
of ‘em, and then some were pro
duced at other places too. Beware
of substitutes though, and call for
officially certified seed when you
buy. And this applies to that new
Garrisonian watermelon too that
made such a hit where planted
this year.
WITCH WEED
County Agent Johnston of Horry
said:
“The number of farms in the
county infested with witchweed
continues to increase from day to
day. Through our office and with
the help of the witchweed survey
team, we have to date (Sept. 1)
located 102 farms which are in
fested with witchweed They are
located in at least 5 different com
munities, some of which are 20
miles from where the infestation
was first found.” And Abrams of
Marlboro says they found it on
31 farms there.
Detailed surveys of the whole
area in the two states where this
pest has been found or suspected
have pretty well pinpointed the
infestations now. Quarantines and
effective means for mopping it
up are now being considered. John
ston tells me the expert from
Africa, where they have been fight
ing this pest for years, told them
control and eradication were pos-

FOOTBALL
K ICKOFF, this or that yard line,
forward pass, goal and try for
extra point are words on the air
on the football field and out on the
radio all over the land. And no
longer can the college wag para
phrase some lines of the Psalm
of Life to say
Lives of football men remind
us
That they write their names
in blood
And, departing, leave behind
them
Half their faces in the mud.
For much of the hazard and the
danger of personal injury has been
reduced by more open play and
safeguards for the men who battle
on the gridiron. But much is also
due to long practice and hardening
training.
In this we are reminded of what
Paul wrote about "keeping his
body under." He was evidently
familiar with, if not a patron, of
the Olympic Games and knew of
what he wrote. He knew of the
rigorous training required.
Why not learn something more
than the score in watching a foot
ball game? Do you keep your body
under by abstaining from every
thing that would hurt the body?
Do you give attention to things
that will contribute to your growth
in knowledge and grace? By doing
so you cun attain unto strength
of soul.

IRRIGATION PAID
Inquiry reveals “irrigation doub
led the yield and improved the
quality” of Irish potatoes on the
Culen truck farm in Accomack
county, Virginia, the past summer.
And Berien Sanders of Colleton
county, here in South Carolina,
tells me droughts would have
forced him out of the truck-grow
ing business longago hut for
the irrigation system that reach
es all of his lands.
County Agent Bouknight of
Lexington says: “Irrigation has
proved quite valuable to our truck
growers in helping them secure
and produce quality crops.
In some instances they have also
saved their corn crops with •it.”
IMPROVED LAMBS NEEDED
We are getting hack into the
sheep business in some sections
of South Carolina. Our sheep
specialist, H. M. Jamison, tells
me we have a lot to learn about
the economic production of quality
lambs. But, where folks are hand
ling them right, good yields of
quality wool and lambs are being
secured.
County Agent J. C. Morgan of
Oconee says: “Three farmers mar
keted 71 lambs. One graded Choice,
17 Good, 45 Medium, and 8 Com
mon. These grades indicate that
it will be necessary to improve
management practices for profit
able lamb production. These in
clude earlier breeding, creep feed
ing, and a pasture of small grain,
rye grass,, and clover to get the
lambs on an earlier market be
fore the hot weather begins.”

BOYS ARE
THAT WAY
By J. M ELEAZER
Last week I told you of our mar
lin gourd pole blowing down one
spring when I was a kid. Naturally
>\e had no martins to come and
meet at our place that summer,
lor we didn’t get the gourds back
up. The falling hrokemost of ‘em
and we had to wait until we could
grow some more.
Well, hawks sure gave our
chickens a fit that summer, with
no martins to ward them off. My
mother had nursed several hutches
of chickens through until they
were almost frying size. A pair of
red-tailed chicken hawks had their
brood coming off at the same time
in a far distant tree. They found
our chickens, us they ranged back
in the weeds there below the wood-
pile. And about twice a day we
would hear a commotion from the
old hens back down there, look
out, and see the great birds taking
off with another of cur almost
frying-size chickens. My brother
was a good shot and he set all
sorts of ruses to get them. Bti<
they had such good eyes, they
never came near his blinds. And
ns soon as he’d turn his back
good, they’d swoop in and have
one before he’d know it.
They always sailed out of sight
in the same direction. We hunted
those woods over for the nest. But
never found it back there. Some
one told us hawks were very sly
and would often fly in the wrong
direction until out of sight, and
then switch back in a different dir
ection to their nest. So my brother
hid himself well back there and
saw them make their turn up a
distant hollow. And, sure enough,
about half mile up that, he found
the nest up a very tall pine. The
1 young hawks were full grown
and sitting on the side of the great
nest. He hurried back to the house
and got some shells with BB shot
in them and went for the kill. He
knew his small shot might not
reach them, and they appeared
ready to leave that nest at any
minute. He returned home with
I young fat hawks and also one
of the old ones that darted into
the nest before noticing what had
happened. He was a hero for sure.
He cleaned and dressed those fat
young hawks, but didn’t bother
with the tough sinewy old one.
They said they were very good.
But I didn’t eat any. It didn’t

It Pays To Be Sure
When You Borrow
Money
That you have the best plan suited to your income,
with a reasonable interest rate. Your payments (an
nually) on your home should not average more than
20% of your annual income. It has been proven many
times in the mortgage loan field that this figure
strikes a medium which works with the average
family.
Space does not permit us to tell you of all the won
derful features of our mortgage loan plan, so just call
