Cross-switch \our tires every 3,000 miles and be -ure to include your spare. Check the wheel alignment Have your battery water checked frequently — every two weeks tn summer, once a month in wintertime. Plan your driving.

ELEAZ1 Clamaon Extanafon Informatk LIKES BAHIA GRASS Willie Shiver of Lee county was I in County Agent Lindler’s office when I was there. Told me, he sure liked Bahia gras for his sandy highlands. He has a nice herd of registered Herefords and they do| well on this grass, he and Lind- ler both told me. The Clemson Handbook says I the Pensacola strain of this grass is the only one recommended for this area. It is gotten from seed planted in the spring, using 20 pounds to the acre. Like some I other grasses, it is slow to make I a sod. But Mr. Shiver says to just give it time and it will. The! Handbook says of it, “It is morel drought-tolerant and higher pro-1 ducing than Dallas grass and] Common Bermuda.” Drought resisant, that’s a val uable trait here where we average] about 6 droughts a year. Am grass is one of the first things be affected. KILLS BITTERWEED Linder of Lee told me Pe Player sprayed pastures badly i fested with bitterweed with 2-4 on the 25th of last March ai really cleaned it up. With hi spray rig he also did a lot of cU: tom spraying for neighbors got rid of the bitterweed there to This fall I saw a lot of one good pastures completely take: by this pest. Spraying at th right time will really get it, Clemson’s Ernest Turner and D: Albert have demonstrated i: practically all counties. Reme ber, the effective time is early spring before you see the bitter weed. Your county agent has the details, rates of materials, etc. FOLKS WANT LEAN MEAT Surveys in all parts of the coun try show' folks want lean meat. The University of Missouri gave consumers a choice of various grades of rib roast at a uniform price. Here’s the way they took it: 10.7 percent of ’em took “Prime” meat, 26.7 percent took “Choice,” 30.7 percent took the U. S. “Good” grade, and, believe it or not, 31.9 percent took meat of the “Commercial”, or lowest grade. The principa’ reason was, “more lean.” This is a strong factor wit!: hogs too now. All breeds are ivcognizing it and are working on types of hogs that carry more loan and less fat. Just look at the hogs at our fairs this fail.

C AN YOU REMEMBER WHEN? Folks made and used tallow windies and thought oil lamps ..'ere dangerous. When oar most advanced farm machinery like grain cradles, wag ons, buggies, harrows, and plow- 'locks were made and repaired by the local blacksmith in every . ommunity. The woodpile out back, neat d well stocked, and the wood- ox by the stove in the kitchen Auit has to be filled every after- ioon. And on the end of the oreh firewood was kept stacked x the dry. Also the kindling bas- et in which light.wood splinters and chips from the woodpile vice kept for starting fires. W hen the proud possession of cung boys was boots with red tops and brass toes. The brogan .vas the stardard work sho (It was • f tough rawhide, stiff and un wieldy, but when broke to the foot wore well). And ladies wore hio'h-topped button shoes. \\ ork around the kitchen stove, life fixing shoes, stuffing shuck mops, making brooms, mending and greasing harness, whittling out axe handles, etc., when it was old and rough outside. When ladies used neither powd er, rouge, lipstick, nor fingernail polish, and they were considered old maids at 24. No wonder. All patches were saved and treasured for making quilts. A W miiy was getting along* pretty well when it could afford a large 'lowered pitcher and bowl for the company room, and enlarged pictures of ancestors hanging on the parlor wall or sitting on eas els in the corners. When every piece of paper. BOYS ARE THAT WAY By J- M ELEAZER I always liked to look in the hat when the collection was tak- \ en at church when I was a kid in the Stone Hills. We had no collection plates as now. A couple of men with the newest hats they didn’t mind showing off would offer them to the ushers. This seemed never to be pre-arranged. The ushers would get up at the right time, look questioningly over the men’s side of the church, and nvariably, before any embarr assing wait, at least two men would hand them their hats. The ushers woi !fi push the creases out of the hats used, so no change could hide in them. Then they’d pass ’em down the rows of seats. Even though it was practically all small silver and copper coins that were drop ped in, they were never quite as numerous enough to weight the hat down much and pull it out of shepe. I remember I sat by Cousin Firry once. He worked in Co lumbia, but came home several times a year. He put a whole dollar bill in the hat! That was the most lavish act I had ever seen. Usually one with money that size made change from the hat. The usher would put the hat.- with the collection in them on a table up front. After service Cousin Mel, the church treasur er would count it out and give them back their hats. At our church it was un un written law, closely obeyed, that men who did not sit with their families would sit on the left as they went in. Mixed groups who wanted to sit together, sat inth e central tier. And women and children alone sat on the right tier or seats as you enter ed. I haven’t been in that old home church in a long time now . I wonder if it is still that wav. PRINTING: The Sun is well equip ped to handle all your printing orders.
