New Year’s Day
It has always seemed the real
Christmas holidays ended with
New Year’s Day. With us at home
•t used to wind up with a turkey
shoot down in the pasture on that
day. Most folks had muzzle load
ers. They took pride in how they
loaded theirs, not letting others
know just how much powder, shot,
and wadding, nor how tight they
packed ’em.
But now it’s different. It is
football now, the bowl games.
And if you read this at all, I
doubt if it will be on the First,
the day on which it is/released. Or
maybe you will glance at it dur
ing half-time of your favorite
game.
The arrival of New Year’s Day
is always sort of inspiring to me.
For there it hangs, 12 clean pages
of it on my calendar. And, as our
-thoughts swiftly shift, a bit of
[nostalgia overtakes us, as we con-
' template the dead year we’ve
I just thrown away in that used-up
[calendar there in the trash can.
There’s nothing we can do
about that dead past. But this
new year is ours, every day of it!
Do with it as we will. No won
der it is a time for making plans,
resolutions.
Have you mapped your farming
:ourse for the year? Many have.
Vfaybe a little less of one thing
ind more stress on another. In
this changing world, we need to
study the prospect, and bend our
efforts in line with what seems
levitable.
The tendency of the times is
for high yields of what we* grow,
ind with high production costs,
lat’s sound. If the. world doesn’t
rant as much of certain things,
urely poor farming is not the
emedy. Maybe less acres of this
r that, but surely not lower
ields through neglect of doing
le best we know.
My hope is that 1959 will be a
>od orte for you and yours.
son and it is likely that this is
about the extent of their present
infestation.
And he tells me that the dread
ed fire ant was also found at one
place there during the fall.
These two new pests in this
country ^are having systematic
eradication campaigns organized
and worked on or against them.
We know of no area from which
they have ever been eradicated.
But they both came from parts
of the world not as intensively
farmed as ours and no concerted
drive against them seems to have
been made.
So far, the control and maybe
eradication of fire ants by wide
spread application of small a-
mounts of pelleted poisons looks
very promising, County Agent Li
vingston of Charleston ' tells me.
Large scale research work is
now underway by USD A and co
operating states at the witchweed
experiment station nfear White-
ville, N. C. Dr. Robinson there
has already developed some in
teresting leads, but so far we do
not have a proven means ‘for
eradicating this pest from infest
ed land. But my guess is Dr. Ro
binson and his workers will come
up with at least parts of the ans
wer before long.
Witchweed and fire ants! Two
new pests that the farmer sure
does not want. And now, before
they get so widespread, is our
chance to wipe ’em put, if ever.
whoop, hopped up, ran, grabbed
the one of his choice and gave
her a resounding smack. Of
course she screamed and resisted
bit, but not too much.
After such occasional commo
tions, things settled back down to
light talk and banter among the
smaller groups around the base
of the corn pile.
Those red ears always bothered
me. Not that I wouldn’t have
liked to kiss the girl of my
choice. But I was far too bash
ful. And to avoid being embar
rassed, I eyed each ear before I
tore the shuck off. The few times
I found a red one, I flipped it
back under the pile and a bit to
my right or left, in the next fel-
low r ’s territory.
When enough corn had been
shucked to fill the owner’s need,
all of the shucks and trash were
cleaned up and his corn pile left
neat. For that was the mark of
good farmer, he always kept

BOYS ARE
THAT WAY
' By J. M, ELEAZER
Last week we were talking heye
about corn shuckin’s in the Stone
Hills of the Dutch Fork when I
was a kid. And I didn’t get
through.
Our variety of corn had long
been with us. It had an occas
ional red ear in it. It was the
custom at a com shuckin’ that
the man or boy who found a red
ear as he shucked along could
kiss the girl of his choice. The
lucky man usually let out 'a
a
his corn pile clean and neat,
shuckin’ nubbins and all as he
came to them.
Then came the most interest
ing part of the evening for me.
In the dining room, or maybe on
a long picnic table out in the yard
by torchlight, the good things
were spread. There we ate to
contentment, and filled our pock
ets with roasted peanuts and win
ter apples that had been stored
in the cellar.
Those with lanterns lit ’em for
the path home. And those who
didn’t have a lantern lit rich
lightwood splinters. A man walk
ed in front, holding them out hor
izontally, so that the hot pitch
wouldn’t run down on his hand.
If it was far home, he’d have to
stop and renew his torch with
long splinters. And he and we all
smelled of lightwood smoke, as
we walked home in its trail. But
we didn’t mind that. It was our
constant companion in the fire
place, giving us light and warmth
as no other wood.
