THE NEWBERRY SUN
THURSDAY, MAY 29,
FARMS AND FOLKS
By J. M. ELEAZER
Clemson Extension Information Specialist
Production Credit Association
On a old and blustery day in
January 1934 a young man came
into my county agent office in
Sumter talking a language I liked.
His name was Frank Towles, and
he told of a possible way of get
ting some farm credit. Credit had
completely dried up and the farm
outlook was bleak.
We called a few leaders in the
next day and he outlined how they
could form a production credit
association. If they met certain
requirements, the government
would take some stock in it to get
it started.
Well, our area and hundreds of
others over this broad land took
advantage of that. And there the
Sumter Production Credit Asso
ciation was formed. Under farmer
management, it has performed a
great service there, paid back ev
ery government dollar, is now en
tirely farmer owned, has a siz
able surplus on hand, and is still
oerving its members.
And, folks, that’s pretty well
the history of the 497 Production
Credit Associations that cover the
United States. Their combined
net worth is now well over $200
million, and less than $2 million
is still owed the government.
In the Columbia District there
are 87 Associations, the largest in
the country. Every one of these
has paid the government out and
is now entirely member owned.
Quite a record for our associa
tions and those in the Columbia
office who work with them!
It has been said that self help
is the best sort; And that is just
what these farmers have done, ev
er since the government gave
them that little lift back yound-
er in the dark of the mid-thirties.
They have paid every cent of that
back, with interest, ^.nd now are
better masters of their own des
tiny with credit in their own hands,
credit tailored to their needs.
Soybeans
Soybeans are growing into a
giant crop in this country. Last
year 80 percent of those entering
world trade came from this coun
try, representing 17 percent of
our crop.
VOTE FOR
H. Odelle Harman
— Candidate For —
STATE SUPERINTEND
ENT OF EDUCATION
BECAUSE:
—^-He will work to give the people
a greater part in planning anl
directing their schools.
^->He will actively work to con-
tinue segregated schools in this
state. He believes in separate
bat equal facilities.
^ ■He will insist that everydollar
appropriated for education is
wisely spent.
i**»—The state needs a young, pro
fessional educator directly from
the field to head its schools, if
they are to be improved.
Our country is the world’s
greatest exporter of farm prod
ucts. Last year it furnished 22
percent of such products entering
world trade.
Soybean planting time here has
arrived again. This year Clemson
is recommending the Jackson,
Lee, CNS4, and JEW 45 for oil.
For hay it is the Otootan. And or
silage and grazing, the Biloxi.
Some haven’t been fertilizing
their beans, just using them as a
catch-crop after grain. But Clem
son warns that beans are rather
heavy feeders, specially on miner
als. If inoculated, they can get
most of their nitrogen from the
soil. For average soils, 400-600
pounds of 4-12-12 are recommend
ed. But where there is a reserve
of phosphate in the soil and po
tash is low, the formula recom
mended is 3-9-18.
Cotton Now
Last year Kern County, Cal
ifornia, produced 447,648 bales of
cotton. The whole state of South
Carolina produced only 346,557
bales. And Fresno county out
there made more than our whole
state did too. They came up with
387,850 bales.
They don’t grow cotton every
where, like we have been accust
omed to. There are just a few little
dots on the map of that state
that show where cotton is grown
now. Yet, they come up with such
u prodigious production, that
state is now only second to Texas
in cotton production in this coun
try. There are endless miles of
dry undeveloped lands out there
awaiting but water and leveling
to make as fine cotton as those
acres on which they now grow it.
And the same is true in Arizona
and New Mexico.
We have some areas in our state
that would grow more cotton if
permitted. But they have been cut
down with the rest in recent years.
Looks like the Sumter idea pre
sented by County Agent Bowen
at the State Cotton Council Meet
ing in Columbia back in the win
ter has merit. It would permit
farmers in counties rather ill
suited to cotton mechanization to
rent their acres to farmers in
counties where the cotton is want
ed and can be economically grown.
As he pointed out, that would
cost the government nothing, and
also help the fellow who saw fit
not to grow his allotment. This
idea was advanced by Clemson’s
Dr. G. H. Aull back about 1941. A
bill in Congress now embodies it.
We must get higher yields, if
we are to continue to grow cotton.
Look well to what irrigation is
dojng out West. And also in the
rainfall belt, where tried on cot
ton.
R. H. West Named
President Of Ky.
Insurance Firm
(The folowing article is from
the Louisville, Ky., Courier-
Journal, Sunday, May 25.)
“For 22 years president of the
Kentucky Central Life and Acci
dent Insurance Company at Anch
orage, E. H. Speckman, Sr., yes
terday announced his retirement.
“Elected to succeed him was
R. H. West, who has been execu
tive vice-president and secretary
since 1952.
“Also promoted were W. L.
Newton, elected executive vice-
president, and Wilson Yates, elect
ed secretary.
“West has been with the com
pany since 1920. In 1935 he was
elected vice-president, in 1937 sec
retary and treasurer, and in 1952,
executive vice-president and sec
retary.
“Speckman began working for
the insurance company as an of
fice boy in 1910, eight years after
it was founded. He advanced
through minor positions to audi
tor, vice-president and in 1936 he
was made president. Saturday
night about 200 employees and
guests of Kentucky Central at
tended a dinner at the E*rown Ho
tel in Speckman’s honor.
“New T ton, newly elected execu
tive vice-president and Yates,
newly elected secretary, both have
degrees in law.”
Mr. West is a brother of Mrs.
Chris Kaufmann, Mrs. C. I.
Younmans, Mrs. E. W. Yates of
Newberry and Miss Mary Pearl
West of Columbia. Mr. Yates is
the son of Mr. and Mrs. E. W.
Yates. The Kentucky Central
Life company was founded by
their half-brother, Thomas O.

Brown Hotel Saturday night were
Dr. and Mrs. C. A. Kaufmann, Mr.
and Mrs. C. I. Youmans, Mr. and
Mrs. E. W. Yates and Miss Pearl

WORLD OUTDOORS
"Sennet
S INK an old boat or drop an old
- car body in the ocean and you
may be helping the fishing situa
tion. Sounds odd, but it isn’t, ac
cording to the California Depart
ment of Game and Fish.
Marine Biologist John G. Car
lisle, Jr., notes that there are
underwater “deserts” along Cali
fornia’s southern coast—flat, sandy
or mud bottoms where little visi
ble marine life exists.
Along other sections, notably
Southern California’s rocky shores,
underwater kelp forests sometimes
exceed 100 feet in height. Here,
where there is ample food and con
venient shelter, there are fish in
numberless variety.
California, biologists are consid
ering the possibilities of trans
forming the underwater “deserts”
into lush “gardens.” They will
seek the answer to such things as
the effect of creating artificial
undersea banks by sinking ships
and other large objects. Young
kelp plants will be transplanted
to these artificial banks and to
other suitable barren areas in an
effort to establish new beds—which
in turn will help to attract more
fish.
Divers and fishermen long ago
discovered that plants and other
marine life abounded in the area
of wrecks, man-made breakwaters
or other structures.
Even in the seemingly bound
less ocean, fish will gather and be
attracted to particular areas which
offer the essentials of food and
shelter.

A view of the Austin's sky line from the Inter-regional Express way.
The sun shines all day in Texas, and there’s moonlight every night
In Austin.
It's no tall tale of Texas, they really “turn on the moonlight** at
dusk in Austin every evening. From the tops of twenty-seven cast-
iron towers, scattered throughout the city, a misty silver glow shines
through oak leaves onto roof tops. When you first glimpse the Capital
City of Texas, either from the air or at the crest of one of the en
circling hills, the silvery-green lights look like fire-flies hovering
around the base of the Capitol dome that looms out of the center
town.

T. WILLIAM HUNTER
Austin acquired the artificial
(but never failing) “moonlight in
a trade for a railroad back in 1894.
The narrow gauge line had been
used to haul granite for the con
struction of the city's first dam.
Short of funds to purchase a need
ed lighting system, the city made
a deal with an electric firm in In
diana, swapping the $50,000 rail
road for the 32 power lights that
solved the city's illumination prob
lem. The enchanting lighting sys
tem has been supplemented by
more modern, and less expensive,
white street lights, but Austin citi
zens won’t allow the towers to be
dismantled — 27 are still in use.
Austin, in the center of the big
State of Texas, is a beautiful city
of some 187,000 population. It Was
chosen for its beauty.
A center of education, Austin
boasts The University of Texas,
largest school in the South; St Ed
ward’s University (often called the
Notre Dame of the South); Con
cordia Lutheran’s College; Austin
Presbyterian Theological Semi
nary; and the Episcopal Theologi
cal Seminary. ,
Cue at music is presented in an-
»*al concert series by the world’s
top artists and the Austin Sympho
ny Orchestra. The city’s 160
churches, from majestic cathe
drals to modern chapels, play a
dominant role in community life.
A new showplace, the Municipal
Auditorial, will be completed this
year.
