Member Wins
Trip To Chicago
Newberry County 4-H Dairy
Calf Club members continued win
ning ribbons and other awards at
the Piedmont Interstate Fair
held at Spartanburg last week.
One of the highest awards of
the Spartanburg event went to
David Sease who placed first of
the Newberry County group in
the Fitting and Showmanship con
test and went on to win an all ex
pense-paid trip to Chicago. David
along with nine club members

trip to Chicago the latter part of
November.
Newberry members who won
first place awards at Spartan
burg were Leonard Halfacre, Ann

and David Sease have been unde
feated in three shows exhibited
in this year. Newberry County
also won first place in the Coun
ty Group of Best 5 female Jersey
animals exhibited at the Pied
mont Interstate Fair.
Artificial Breeding
Tom Riser, our artificial breed
ing serviceman, tells us that
some dairy farmers say they can’t
afford to use artificial breeding
in their herds because the price
is too high.
We’d just like to argue that
point a bit, because we definitely
feel that artificial breeding is one
of the best services available to
our county dairy farmers.
First of all, it costs in the
neighborhood of $200 per year to
keep any bull on the farm. This
expense alone will pay for breed
ing 20 to 25 cows per year artifi
cially. Then there is the initial
investment of buying the bull that
can be charged off when deciding
whether or not to breed artificial
ly. Also it seems to us that the
strongest point in favor of breed-

FARMS AND FOLKS
By J. M. ELEAZER
Clemson Extension Information Specialist
Fire Ants
County Agent Livingston of
Charleston tells me the USDA
men have treated all fire ant in
fested areas of the county. He has
taken specimens of ants in other
communities where the fire ant is
suspected and sent them off for
identification.
A concerted effort is being
made to control this troublesome
pest. It gained a footing at sever
al places in South Carolina, the
largest of which was in Orange
burg county, and the next largest
was in Charleston.
Rural Fire Protection
A few years ago I told you of
the first fire protection for rural
buildings I had heard of in the
state. That was in Marion county.
And County Agent King later
told me of the great service it had
been there in saving rural proper
ty.
In their rural community devel
opment work in Lancaster, Coun
ty Agent Cannon tells me the
Unity community has purchased
its fire truck and Camp Creek
community plans to soon.
Rural fire insurance rates are
so high few farmers are able to
carry enough. It looks as though
these communities that put in
this protection and thus save fire
losses should have preferred
rates. But so far I haven’t heard
of ’em getting them. Maybe no
one has looked into this and push
ed it.
Hogs and Hogs
The country where the hog pop
ulation is most dense is Denmark.
They have almost as many hogs
as people.Brazil is next with
about one hog for each two folks.
This country ranks 12th,. in this,
with a hog for every three folks.
But hogs are not anything like
evenly distributed over this coun
try. Iowa has the heaviest hog
population of any similar area on
earth. It has about 4 hogs per per
son.
We are getting some pretty
considerable hog concentrations in
this state. I would think Dorches
ter county leads in this. Its annual
hog production is equal to its pop
ulation. I don’t know that any oth
er county in the state would score
that high.
BOYS ARE
THAT WAY
By J. M. ELEAZER
Folks always asked a blessing
before meals in our part of the
country, when I was coming up. It
was a natural part of the routine
as washing your hands. You just
didn’t eat without doing it. And to
occasionally go afar and eat
where they didn’t made you feel
funny, and even the food didn’t
seem to taste right.
Habits learned like that stick
to us, and I’m sure our children
feel the same way. Even now, to
sit- down t<t the bounty of Nature
and eat without asking a blessing
makes me feel like a hog who
hasn’t looked up to see who is
shaking the acorns down.
I had a sort of devilish cousin
who liked me a lot. He nicknamed
me “Skin”. Oft’ I have been at hjs
house and, as we sat down to the
table, he’d say, “Skin, speak to
the Lord about this food”. And off
I’d go on the only grace I knew, a
very simple one, still used.
My brother once got trapped at
a rather high-fallutin’ cousin’s
house in town at meal time. None
of us had ever eaten there. Not
that they weren’t cordial. But we
just felt out of place there amid
the style, silver, and linen we did
not know. Since it is out of court
esy to ask your guest to say the
blessing, they called upon him.
Already scared stiff, he popped
out in a cold sweat during that
•due and solemn pause before
starting. And when he did, it was
on the Lord’s Prayer rather than
his grace. Sensing his mistake, he
blundered a bit, turned redder,
got on the right track, and finally
finished. Years after that he
still listed that as his most em
barrassing moment. It was righ$
after making that bobble, thejr
passed him the gravy. It was in
a little pitcher-like dish he hadnt
seen before. Thinking it cream,
he pouredsom e in his ceffee. The
host, seeing it, offered to pour
it out and get him another cup.
Fully frustrated by then, he told
her oh no, he liked it that way.
Once I too made his first mis
take when company was at the
table at home. That fact made
me a bit self-conscious. But I
had often asked the blessing with
just the family there. I too start
ed off on the Lord’s Prayer. I
didn’t do as well as my brother.
I got tickled and had to leave
the table.
Farm and Home Week
Glemson’s 1958 Farm and Home
Week is now but a memory, a
pleasant one. For it was one of
the best yet. County Agent Gray
of Darlington says he is still hear
ing favorable comments about it
from his farm folks who attended.
This annual affair has grown
into quite an institution. During
that week Clemson and allied in
dustries literally throw the book
at the thousands who attend.
There you see the new in every
line, from household appliances to
heavy field equipment, and from
latest varieties of plants to im
proved methods and how-to-do
many a farm and home job better.
And mixed in with it all is a gen
erous sprinkling of inspirational
and entertainment features. Yes,
a sort of three-ring circus of in
teresting demonstrations, * lect-
tures, and tours going on all the
time.
Bigger and better, that’s the
history of Farm and Home Week
at Clemson.

ing artificially is the fact that
the average dairy farmer cannot
afford to buy anything like as
good a bull as is available through
artificial breeding.
Through artificial breeding,
several good bulls can be used in
the herd so that you’re not “put
ting all your eggs in one basket”
as when depending on just one
bull. /
It is becoming more and more
important that our dairy farmers
have higher producing cows to
make a reasonable profit. We be
lieve that the only, way to get
these high producing cows is by
the use of the best bulls avail
able. The “best” is available to
all farmers through artificial
breeding.
