KLEA2ER Clemson Extension Information Specialist HOLIDAY NOTICE MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 1st Being A LEGAL HOLIDAY LABOR DAY The Offices in the County CORUT HOUSE WILL NOT BE OPEN FOR-BUSINESS OUR FARM POTENTIAL About 150 years ago a great English philosopher thought the w'orld population must stagnate soon on account of earth’s inabili ty to feed and clothe it. He spoke before the miracles of modern science came to the land. Earth’s population has vastly increased, yet it’s better fed and clothed now than then. Nor is this science through, not by a jugfull. Just in the past 35 years, since science really started reaching the bert Langford of Columbia were guests last Thursday of Misses Susie and Mary Langford. The Misses Langford also had Mrs. R. H. Banks of North Augusta as a guest Saturday. Mr. and Mrs. B. T. Young spent last Wednesday with Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Richards in Heath Springs.

Yet production is up 70 percent, we have 62 million more folks, all are better fed and clothed than before, * and we have surpluses of most things left over! The eminent agricultural auth ority, Dr. Firman Bear of Rutgers, says this country can easily feed and clothe a billion people, when the need arises, and do it well. Yes, that’s with the light we now have. And, with advancing science, that picture will improve with the years. So, folks, let’s not worry about hunger and nakedness. At least, as long as we keep on our toes here at home. Other parts of the world need a lot of our know how. And we have been taking it to all who would hear. Some of our hardest hitting county agents have been used for this. And the records show they have perform ed wonders in some of the back ward parts of the earth, despite great obstacles. Yes, the Almighty has been good to us. Through science many of the secrets of Nature have been unlocked. And we live in a land of growing plenty. But in a world that’s mostly hungry. The whole thing doesn’t make much sense. But we are trying to put some in it. BOYS ARE THAT WAY By J. M. ELEAZER In recent years Georgia has ex perienced the greatest poultry growth ever seen on earth. Their broilers far exceed the value of their cotton crop now. And it’s still growing fast. South Carolina is beginning to share that growth. And we have dressing plants dotting the state. One of them alone, the Marshall Bros, plant at Greenville, is cap able of dressing more chickens than were dressed in the whole state just a few years ago. At first they had to get most of their chickens from Georgia. Now most of ’em come from the Greenville area. The production of hatching eggs for that vast Georgia enterprise is found jon many a farm across the river‘here in South Carolina. Even away down in Williamsburg, County Agent Jack:son tells me 23 farmers have 34„000 layers pro ducing hatching eggs for the vast hatcheries of Georgia. We have a lot of hatcheries too, but- many of our growing need for chicks are still filled south of the border. 4-H TEACHES MANY THINGS It is not just how to better do farm and home jobs that 4-H teaches. It reaches into the fine cultural thinngs of life too. For instance, Tillman of Sumter tells me their Senior 4-H Boys and Girls recentiy discussed teenage problems, dfcting, and courtesies at a series of their meetings. And Montgomery of Kershaw says all of their 4-H Clubs had a meeting where “table manners were dis cussed and demonstrated.” Our folks were tight and stingy with their corn. For it was the fort of the farm. The farm with corn was fortified and could go. But if it gave out before the new crop came in, it was a reflection on the man. We skimped with our corn and made every grain of it count. The best ears went for seed and milling. The next to the work stock, and finally the nubbins and damaged ears to the hogs. The sweepings of shattered corn and trash from the shuck ing floor were thrown to the chickens. They didn’t get much though and had to scratch and chase grasshoppers and June bugs mainly for a living most of the time. We didn’t usually shuck much corn in advance. Had an idea weevils and rats damaged it more that way. But occasional ly a farmer with a good many hogs and considerable other stock would give a corn shuck in’ and shuck up a lot. Those were enjoyable occasions. There wad much kidding of any who didn’t keep their nubbins and trash cleaned up in front of them there at the pile. A feature always was that the fellow who chucked a red ear had the privilege of kissing any girl there. Most of ’em were bold and went after their re ward with gusto, despite much screaming and embarrassment of the victim. But I was always too shy and was afraid I’d get a red ear. So I usually took my station away from the lantern in the shadows. And I’d look carefully as I opened each shuck. If the corn was red, I’d slip it back under the pile and a bit to the side so someone el^se would get it. After the shucking was fin ished, we’d repair to an open fire on the outside where per chance there was some square dancing. But greatest of all for me was the refreshments. There was always gingerbread, and likely apple cider, if it was early winter. Kleckley Rites Held At Church David Adam (Bub) Kleckley, 87, died late Thursday at the home of his daughter, Mrs. L. K.
