Wilson and her sister, Mrs. Ben nie Burn and Mr. Bum on Cl|ne street. Memory goes back to the compost heap down there in the edge of the lot in the Sjone Hills of the Dutch Fork when I was a boy. It was our fort for soil fertility. And the thrifty Dutchmen used it with utmost care and skill to bring continu ing fertility to his fields. Some time it was a railed-in enclosure, at others merely a mound. Leaves and litter from the yard, pine star from the woods, ashes from the stove and fireplace, and manures from the stables, henhouse, and hog pen were all layered down there as they accumulated, until the mound would be 8 or more feet high by planting time. In the process of decay, the stuff heated, gave off steam on cold mornings, and a favorite stunt of ours was to bury an egg in it to cook. At times it would heat too much, and you could smell the valued ammonia escaping. Our land was prepared as early as it got dry enough, and rows laid off. Then we hauled the compost to the field and un loaded in small piles strung ' along. With home-made white- oak split baskets then we scat tered the compost down the rows. Usually it disintegrated as it cured there in the heap. But occasionally there were lumps. These we carefully broke up and crumbled with our hands. For a lump of that rich stuff was liable to fire a stalk of crop, while pulverized and mixed with the soil it was great stuff. We’d fill our baskets with the compost and walk down the rows tilting and shaking it to g t uniform distribution. And we’d clean up all of it we could see around the piles, for there was enough fine stuff left there to do and not to over do. i We felt nothing was as good under a crop as this compost. When cottonseed were very cheap, we’d put them in it too. The heat would kill ’em and they were fine fertilizer. We couldn’t usually get to all fields with it each year. So we rotated it around. And you could tell for several years where it went. I never liked much work. But I sort of liked scattering compost. Weather was cool then, the hunting season was over, and there wasn’t much to do down on the creek nor any wild boun ty calling from the deep woods PERSONAL MENTION The members of the Department of Public Welfare in Newberry who are attending the South Carolina Conference of Social Work which is being held at the Jefferson hotel in Columbia are: Mrs. James M.
