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.

Folks made and used tallow
windies and thought oil lamps

When oar most advanced farm
machinery like grain cradles, wag

'locks were made and repaired by
the local blacksmith in every

ox by the stove in the kitchen

ioon. And on the end of the

and chips from the woodpile

life fixing shoes, stuffing shuck

When ladies used neither powd

old maids at 24. No wonder.

BOYS ARE
THAT WAY

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.
