RAY DAWKINS County Treasurer THE NEWBERRY SUN THURSDAY, JANUARY, 23,1988 FARMS AND FOLKS By J. M. BLEAZER Clamaon extension Information tpoolallet A GOOD SIGN In thte disturbed world of today, all signs are not bad. I see where the distribution of Bibles doubled in the past 10 years! Having already long been a best seller, that’s really some thing. And church attendance is’boom ing too. It is up 62 percent in the past 10 years. Very noticeable to me, as I trav el the byways of South Carolina, is the renewed 'interest in the ru ral church. Once it looked as though they would go, and some did. Yes, the moving of people, the abandonment of farms, the com ing of good roads, the radio, etc., caused weeds and bushes to spring up in many an old rural church yard. And in some cases it was finally abandoned and tumbled down. But in late years, thanks be, this tendency of the rural church has changed. Most of them have tak en on new life, and many a hand some edifice now marks the spot where the old one stood. This young folks are taking more int erest too. Many 4-H Clubs put on the entire services at their local churches on Rural Life Sunday each spring. SOYBEANS GROW AS A CROP Soybeans are making ‘ rapid growth as a money crop in South Carolina. Many of the farming states share this growth. In fact, soys have grown into a major crop in this country in recent years. Here its growth has been specially fast since John Wannamaker of St. Matthews and other plant breeders gave up high yielding sorts of shatter-resistant beans acclimated to this area, and suit ed for crushing. I visited his in crease plots last fall and can tell you he has still more promising sorts on the way. County Agent Willis of Ches terfield says: “Last yeaf saw our largest acreage of soybeans. Yields were good, running from 20 to 40 bushels per acre.” They had a soybean-growing contest in Kershaw. County Agent McCarley tells me yields were gen erally good, but none exception ally high. It looked like just about every* RITZ Theatre THURSDAY & FRIDAY Pat Boone, Shirley Jones, Dolores Michaels April Love (In CinemaScope and Color) Also Cartoon—Bongo Punch SATURDAY DOUBLE FEATURE PROGRAM John Crawford, Mimi Gibson, John Bryant Courage Of Black Beauty (In Color) Keith Larsen, Jim Davis, Rodolfo Acosta Apache Warrior thing was in soybaana down in Wannamaker’a county, Calhoun. County Agent Cain there told me they had 55,000 acroa, And, folks that’s a heap of anything for that rather small county. GRAIN SORGHUM Grain sorghum is another crop that’s on the increase here. It stands drought better than corn, usually makes more, can follow grain, and has about the same uses ss corn. - County Agent Wood of Pickens tells me they tried, out several sorts. One of the forage types, Dekalb Hybrid, gave the highest grain yield, £6 bushels per acre. IRRIGATING COTTON Irrigation rather consistently adds around a half bale and above per acre to cotton yields here. Last year at Clemson in three tests it averaged adding 604 pounds of seed cotton. At the Pontiac Sta tion it added 858 pounds per acre. And the irrigated cotton averaged 5-32 inch better staple too. The increased value of this, plus the increased yield, added up to a sub stantial profit. Cotton growing generally in this area is in rather shaky position. It will pay us well to ponder facts like the above. BOYS ARE THAT WAY By J. M.

I started with butcherin’, leading up to ham, and haven’t finished yet. The biggest thing about butcherin’ was they let us miss school for it. Butcherin’, as we did it, took all day. And I mean from be fore day until dusk. We Dutch men made so many good things from a hog, there was just no gettin’ through. In late afternoon the lard was ready. So we pressed the crack lings out and put it in the smokehouse. Puddin* and sau sage had to be ground, mixed, and stuffed. That was done by another group, working on a kitchen table that had been set out in the yard. A little before dusk, neighbors who had been helping had to leave for home to do up the • chores. The last thing we made was puddin’ mush (generally known as scrapple). It was a de lightful concoction made by sprinkling corn meal into the broth from the puddin’ meat un til It got stiff. We adored it hot, just as it was, or after that first night what was left from sup per was kept, sliced and fried for other meals. Until this day, I won’t know anything much better. Just before dark everything was finished. A pan of “fresh” (that’s what we called fresh things from a hog) was fixed for each neighbor. It contained sausage, puddin’, and a few spareribs usually. Then when neighbors butchered they did likewise. In that way we didn’t get tired of too much fresh stuff at once, and it was spread out more. We stuffed all of our sausage and it was hung from poles in the smokehouse t > dry out, be smoked, and cure. The puddings were tied into circles too and hung there, but not to keep for long, as they were liable to spoil. The rice in ’em Would sour, if it got warm. Hams, shoulders, and sides were salted and laid on news papers right on the ground floor of the smokehouse. After the right number of days the salt was rubbed on again. Then at the right time, they were wash ed and hung for smoking with green hickory and corncobs. That was for color, flavor, and to keep flies out while it was curing. We’d start eating the sides first, then the shoulders. But it took warm weather to make the hams best. I started a month ago here to tell you something about ham and have just now gotten to the right place. So that will have to come next week. NOTICE Scaled bids will be accepted until 10 A. M.

C. State Commisaion of Forestry, according to John E. Graham, District Forester of the Newberry District. This assistance was given to these landowners so they could realize more from their woodlands now and in the future. On the five woodland tracts visited in Newberry County, a marking and sale of some forest product was made. The S. C. State Commission of Forestry has a timber marking service which is always available. The charge for this service is 50c per 1,000 board feet of sawtimber marked and 13c per standard cord of pulpwood marked. In Newberry County, 242 acres on 5 tracts, 664,000 board feet of sawtimber and seven cords of pulpwood have been marked and estimated. Many other saw timber marking jobs that were recommended by the State Com mission of Forestry were handled by Consulting Foresters. The same is true of pulpwood marking jobs where the industrial forest ters have done the marking.

During the past week, I have spent a major portion at my time considering our national defensef*™ the real spirit of our Coaati tution and our democracy. Drawing Boundary Lines In the broad area covered by Point 7 above, I have introduced legislation to set up a bi-partisan Commission on Federal and State Jurisdiction, which will have the responsibility of ; making a study of the Constitutional boundary lines between federal and state re sponsibility, and also the bound aries between the three branches of the federal government. I am sure that any fair-minded study will show that our system of government has shifted a long way from what the Founding Fathers intended. predicament, especially as it re lates to two other problems that have long, concerned me. It is clear to me that heavy de fense spending is going to have a serious effect on our national economy and on our educational system. President Eisenhower, in his budget message, expressed the op inion that no new taxes will be necessary this year, but I am sure he would agree with me that we cannot go on spending more and more money without eventu ally finding new tax revenue. I am convinced that the nation must study and revise the educa tional system to provide the scien tists needed for military prepared ness. Some pressure groups are using this situation as an excuse for advocating the entry of the federal government into the edu cational field. I am certain that such a course would spell the end of local self-determination in edu cational matters. Defense Recommendations We must steer a straight course to provide what is needed for de fense without destroying national solvency or undermining our state educational systems. I am advo cating the following: 1. True unification of the Arm ed Services to promote efficiency and minimise waste. 2. More financial support for the Strategic Air Command, which will continue to be our chief re taliatory force for years to come. 3. An augmented program for the construction of nuclear sub marines, equipped to launch the Navy’s 1500-mile missile, the Po laris. , 4. Increased efforts in the de velopment of the intermediate and intercontinental ballistic missiles. 5. Increasing the efficiency and striking power of our ground forces. 6. Formation of a U. S. Science Academy, co-equal with the U. S. Military Academy, Naval Acad emy and Air Force Academy, en compassing a central library of scientific knowledge that would serve as a clearing-house for all of our research people. 7. Preservation of our national character, by foeuaaing attention anew on the principles of life that ing the state, and I can’t blame them. “South Carolina pours money into the state colleges to train teachers, and then they go where the grass is greener on the other side of the fence.” Senator Moore was chairman of the committee in the legislature that was asked to study the edu cational situation and to make recommendations. Because of his work on this committee, he stated that he believed that, if all the members of the General Assembly could have sat on that committee, they would appreciate the situa tion better. In- his concluding remarks the speaker urged all teachers to take an' active part in *the political af fairs of their county and state.'

Moore of Newberry County, presented an inspiring message at the meeting of the Newberry County Education Association on January 16 in the Newberry High School auditorium. Senator Moore was introduced to the teachers by Representative T. William Hun ter. In his talk Senator Moore as serted emphatically, “If conditions don’t change, we aren’t going to have education in South Carolina tomorrow.

Kaufmann an nounced this week that the firm of Engelhardt, Engelhardt, Leg gett and Cornell, Educational Con sultants, have been engaged to make a comprehensive survey of Newberry College; The Board of Trustees at the semi-annual meet ing in Decamber approved the study and authorized that the ad ministration proceed with the plans. The study will include the phy sical plant, the student popula tion trends, the future building program, the administrative struc ture and organization of the in stitution, the past and potential giving of the constituency and the curriculum of the institution. This will give to the Board of T 1 ^ 8 *® 68 and the administration of the col lege a comprehensive analysis of the institution and will be project ed over a period of years in the development of the college. The firm of Engelhardt, Engel hardt, Leggett and Cornell served as consultants for Erskine College two years ago and have been en gaged by the Presbyterian Church for a study of their new college to be established in North Caro lina. The firm has been engaged in the field of education for a number of years and have made numerous surveys in school sys tems and higher educational in stitutions throughout the United States. President Kaufmann stated that the firm would begin the study this month. Veterans Administration today spelled out the various groups of GI insurance poUcyhoWera who will and who will not participate in the regular annual dividands of $262,000,000 for 1058. i Hugh H. Henderson, Contact Officer of the VA Regional Offico in Columbia, said approximately 5,800,000 policyholders * will and approximately 820,000 will not participate.

S. Government Life In surance (World War I), with the letter “K” preceding their policy numberi. Mr. Henderson said the 820,000 policyholders who will not parti cipate are divided into the follow ing groups: 1. Approximately 715,000 Kor ean and post-Korean veterans who were issued special term paUeiaa classified by law as non-partki-> pating. The letters “RS” precede these policy numbers. 2.

Dr. Joseph Gettys, professor of' Bible at Presbyterian College* ,, gave the inspirational address. Speaking on “The Joy of Christ ian Work,” Dr. Gettys challenged the group to ever live in the presence qf Christ and to always have His joy as the controlling factor in life. He reminded the group that the success of the work depends upon the power fa the life of the worker. “This pow er is the power of the living, reigning Christ. This power is the power the world needs. It is the power the teacher needs if the work is to be meaningful to the lives of the pupils,” Dr. Gettys said. “Joy does not depend upon external circumstances, but upon the relationship of the individual to Jesus Christ. Power is granted to use it for God’s glory.” ‘ '4 : .
