FARMS AND FOLKS
By J. M. ELEAZER
Ciemssn Extension Information Specialist
FARROWING HOUSES
County Agent O. W. Cain of
Calhoun tells me this;
“Several new farrowing houses
"were constructed in the county
the past year. The increase in the
pig crop through the use of vhese
houses was amazing. Some farmers
are averaging weaning 10 pigs
and better per litter. The pigs look
better, and where farmers have
sold them locally, they have grown
off much better than the common
run of pigs.”
Clemson has the building
plans for these farrowing houses
that may be secured through the
local county agents.
IRRIGATION ASSURED
GRAZING
And let’s hear J. K. Jones, coun
ty agent at Greenville;
“T. I). Cooper, dairyman was
assisted with the layout for and in
stallation of an irrigation system
last spring. He was very much
pleased with the outfit, and says
it really paid off the past dry fall.
He watered the land so he could
prepare it for early grazing, wat
ered to get the seed to germinate,
and then watered it twice to en
courage growth before cold weath
er. He is one of the few dairymen
of the county who have good lush
grazing. It all resulted in the best
winter milk production he has ever
3iad.”
Irrigation! It takes so many of
the uncertainties out of farming
and helps so in insuring the har
vest, be it cotton, truck, peaches,
tobacco, pastures or what not.
FIRE ANTS AND WITCHWEED
County Agent Johnston tells me
they definitely found fire ants in
the Hickory Grove section of Hor
ry county last fall. This is the only
•spot of ’em found there. With the
effective poisons we now have for
that pest, they will likely wipe it
out the coming season.
And they have a goodly scat
tering of that strange pest witch-
weed over that county too. A siz
able Federal appropriation will
enable authorities to redouble
their research, quarantine, and
control efforts against this pest
the coming year in this adjoining
areas in the Carolinas. Dr. Robin
son, formerly of Clemson, is in
charge of research on control me
thods at the special experiment
•station there near Whiteville,
North Carolina.
CORN AM) HOGS IN
WILLIAMSBURG
County Agent Jackson tells me
their 39 corn contestants in Wil
liamsburg last year averaged 84.5
bushels per acre. After several
very dry years corn production
nas come back with moisture. And
with that, hogs have come back
as a major crop too. But chey all
went when drought dried up their
corn several years in succession
a few years back.
PERFORMANCE TESTING IN
COLLETON
Performance testing is being li
ned up with about 800 cattle on
die farms of Oswald Lightsey, ac
cording to Associate County Agent
White of Colleton. This is just
another step in our cattle impro
vement in South Carolina.
During the past seven years we
• nave been the fastest growing area
in the country. True, we had far
to go. But it looks like we are on
our way. And our improvement is
not just in numbers, but equally
. trong in quality too.
BOVS ARE THAT WAY
When I was a kid in the Stone
Hills of the Dutch Fork, we wore
short pants and long stockings to
school and church. But our every
day clothes were overalls that came
to the ankles.
We didn’t have socks until we
were grown. Ours were long stock
ings, held with an elastic at the
knee, and knit right there at home
from our own cotton.
Those stockings were of rather
coarse home-spun thread and it
made prints on the bottoms and
sides of your feet where the shoe
fit tight. They were durable, but
we’d often fall in running and
hurst them out at idle knee. Then
they'd ravel easily. But as soon as
we got home, the women folks
would make us take’em off and
they’d darn Am so they wouldn’t
.reel out.
The place where they all even
tually wore* out was ou the heel
or toe. When tin y got just too had
there, they were discarded, but
never thrown away. For it was
from these we made the only balls
vve knew.
Yes, these old stockings would
ravel from the top. if you started
’em just right. We’d start with a
hickory walnut and wind that
string around and around it until
we had a ball the right size. Then

we’d get a course needle and
thread, beeswax the thread to
make it stronger, and sew that ball
all over and over so it couldn’t ra
vel.
These balls would last a long
time, until we finally lost’em. They
were firm enough to throw good,
hut not hard enough to require
nitt nor glove. But when wet they
would sting your hand or really
hurt if they hit you.
To knock it out in the weeds or
flushes and lose it was a real tra
gedy, for often you did not have
another ball handy, and the game
had to stop.

Dangers Of
Censorship
Are Noted
(By GEORGE S. BENSON)
A “SUPPRESSED REPORT
Some reliable news sources in
Washington recently reported that
President Eisenhower has been
more and more displeased with the
Chief Justice whom he appointed
to the Supreme Court. The Presi
dent is annoyed and alarmed, the
reports say, because the Chief
Justice has been a ringleader in
destroying vital internal security
safeguards. It is to be hoped that
the President will make a public
statement on this. Too much is at
stake — our liberty and our lives
— when any agency of the gov
ernment destroys carefully legis
lated laws vital to the structure
of our national defense.
The President may not speak
out; the code of politics or person
al con-siderations may impose
self-censorship. A notable case of
censorship that backfired occur
red in the same area of danger,
when powerful forces outside or
within the American Bar Asso-
iation managed to have the As-
ociation bypass a report of a
. pecial committee of the Associa-
ion which had made the study of
C mmunist tactics, strategy and
objectives. This special committee
was headed by Peter Campbell
Blown, former chairman of the
>ubversive Activities Control
Board, and numbered in its mem
bership some of the most distin
guished lawyers in America.
NATIONAL SUICIDE
Although the strategy of those
who wanted to sidetrack the re
port was successful at the Ameri
can Bar Association national con
vention, Senator Styles Bridges
was told of its importance; he se
cured a copy and obtained consent
of the U. S. Senate to have it
printed in the Record. It is dama
ging to those Supreme Court jus
tices who voted to destroy our in
ternal security laws. The report
.ists 20 decisions on Communism
handed down by the Supreme
Court in the last two years. Each
of the 20 decisions was a priceless
victory for world Communism.
Each weakened America’s inter
nal security.
The report of this ABA special
committee calls attention to a
statement by J. Edgar Hoover,
director of the FBI: “It would be
the worst kind of folly to allow the
spy and subversive immunity
through technical rather than lo
gical interpretation of the law,
while they plot the destruction of
our democratic form of govern
ment.” And “the worst kind of
folly” means national suicide!
Many feel that the Supreme Court,
in protecting the Communist con
spiracy, is committing us to na
tional suicide.
OUTLAW CUMmunism
The Bar Association committee
sot forth 10 specific recommenda-
tions designed to restore the
structure of security wrecked by
the Supreme Court. Each of the
10 recommendations begins with
the word “Restore.” The recom-
nondat'ons call upon Congress to
miss legislation reconstructing the
bulwarks torn down by the Su-
’ironic Court. This committee of
distinguished and nationally-known
lawyers also called upon Congress
oml the President to “re-evaluate
the policy of recognition of Soviet
Berley A. Atkikns to Charles E.
Grant and June H. Grant, one lol
and one building, 1110 Sinclair
St., '$5 and other valuable consid
erations.

Wells, 42 acres (formerly Cecil
E- Wicker and Margaret Boozer
Wicker property), $5.00 and other
valuable considerations.
Ralph C. Johnson to Louie F.
Spearman and L. E. Werts, four
lots, $5.00 and other valuable con
siderations.
Cotton Plans
Are Explained
By Agents
More About Cotton Program
Made your choice on this year’s
cotton program yet ? Remember,
you have only until March 16th,
about two more weeks to do so.
Seems there are a few mislead
ing ideas going ‘round about the
program that we’d like to try and
straighten out. After all, a cotton
farmer needs all the facts to en
able him to decide which choice to
make.
As you know, the support rates
for this year’s crop have already
been announced by the Secretary
of Agriculture and each grower has
been notified of both the support
rate and allotment for both Plan
A and Plan B for his farm. How
ever, the support rate that was
listed on each growers’ notice was
based on 7/8” Middling at average
location which was 30.40 cents
per pound for choice A allotments
and 24.70 cents per pound for
choice B allotments.
Newberry County Cotton farm
ers can expect a higher support
level than this due to our location
and because of the longer staple
length of our cotton. Based on the
same premiums and discounts used
for last’s year’s crop and using
middling 1 1/32 inch cotton basis
for figuring, Newberry County
farmers can expect a support level
< f close to 36.09 cents per pound
for choice (A) allotment eottoii
and 30.39 cents per pound for
i hoice (B) allotment cotton.
These are guaranteed support
levels for this year’s cotton crop
based on 80% of parity for choice
(A) and 65% of parity for choice
(B) .-Growers who elect Plan (A)
must sell their cotton through a
Purchase program yet to be an
nounced in order to obtain this
• upport rate. No equity in the eot-
Russia and its Satellites.”
“Four American presidents re
used to recognize the Communist
government of Russia,” the com
mittee wrote, “and it remained
weak and ineffective so long as it
■' cis unrecognized. Nothing would
: low down the Communist line
more definitely than if the United
States were to recognize the ne
cessity of treating Soviet Russia
as an outlaw and putting its Red
"gents in the same category. It
could dry up the channels by
vhich Soviet Russia spreads its
aropag-anda, directs its espionage,
and enforces its discipline on cer
tain of our citizens.”
WE HAVE NO PLAN
Another admonition to the Pre-
ident and Congress was: “Be pre
oared with a plan of action: One
of the several lessons we learned
‘rom the Hungarian rebellion in
October, 1956 was that the West
has no plan of action.” This re-
oort is one of the most valuable
documents of its kind available to
American citizens who earnestly
wish to learn the nature of Com
munism and what we must do to
combat its expanding power with-
n America. It is somewhat fright
ening to know that such a report
- ~ based on irrefutable document
ed facts was withheld from the
ABA convention floor; in effect,
“suppressed.” Steps were taken
recently to bring it to public at
tention by submitting it to the
ABA’s House of Delegates.
The committee’s report closes
with this warning: “We can no
more save our Republic from Com
munism, merely by saying we are
tgainst Communism, than parents
can save their children from polio
by fervently being against polio.
To conquer any disease requires
intelligent study to isolate the
germ and discover the vaccine. As
the number one killer in the world
today, Communism is a disease
which merits our urgent study.”
Copies of the ABA special report
may be obtained /20c) from Amer
ican Opinion, Belmont 78, Mass.
ton will be retained by the farmer.
However, a Plan (A) grower can
choose to sell his cotton on the
open market if he wishes to do so.
Likewise Plan (B) growers may
either sell on the open market, or
may take the lower, Plan (B) sup
port level. A loan program A^ill be
in effect for the Plan (B) cotton.
A giower may obtain the Plan (B)
support rate, place his cotton in
the loan program and retain an
equity in the cotton, if he so
chooses.
We hope this explanation wid
help clarify the cotton picture
somewhat. - Regardless of the
choice made by any grower, it
looks like every grower must
strive to make the highest yield
per acre possible. Only by increas
ing our yields to a bale or more
per acre can we continue to com
pete in this fast changing picture
of cotton production.
Weed Control
Enjoyed meeting with the Bush
River youiig farmers Club at the
invitation of Harold Long and
/v illiam Ballentine last week. A
delicious turkey stew made it even
nore enjoyable. A lot of fai'ming
is still being done in this section
jf the country and these folks try
to get all the information they can
md use much of it to stay ahead
in this business of farming. They
were quite interested in chemical
weed control of small grains. Now,
of course, is the time to spray
small grains with 2, 4-D if you
want clean grain at harvest time.
This meeting served to remind
us that Chemical Weed Control
in all our crops is fast becoming
of major importance. It’s small
grain spraying time now, then from
March 1st to April 1st will be the
ideal time to spray permanent
pastures to get rid of hitterweed
and other noxious weeds. Then
will come planting time of cotton,
corn, grain sorghums and other
crops that can greatly benefit
from pre-merge spraying with
chemical weed killers.
We’ve just received Extension
Information Card 76 that gives
complete recommendations o f
Clemson College on chemical weed
control of all crops. We’d be glad
to mail you one or better still drop
by to see us and pick up one while
in the County Agents Office.
March 3rd - Annual Meeting of
Artificial Breeding Association
Everyone interested in the im
provement of dairy and beef cattle
will want to attend the annual
meeting of the Newberry Coopera
tive Breeding Association next
Tuesday, March 3rd. The meeting
will be held at 8 P. M. in the court
Room here in Newberry.
President, J. F. Hawkins and
directors of the Association, have
done a splendid job of arranging
a program that will explain the
modern, up to date artificial breed
ing program now being offered
to Newberry County Cattle own
ers. Dr. Victor Hurst of Clemson
College will tell how to get Higher
Conception rates by using artifi
cial Breeding in your herd. Clyde
Walker, S. C. Fieldman of NOBA,
will show a new film of the bulls
now being used in Newberry Coun-
ty.
Also many attractive door prizes
have, been donated by merchants
and processing plants for the free
drawing to he held at the meeting.
Tom Riser, our local serviceman
will be on hand to' give you his
report on Artificial Breeding in
Newberry County. You know, wo
mentioned a couple of weeks ago
ihnt Tom had been natned “Out-
stamling Serviceman of S. C. for
1958” by the S. C. Federation of
Cooperative Breeding Association.
It was our pleasure to be pre
sent at the State Meeting in Col
umbia on the 26th to see Tom re
ceive his certificate of Merit for
this award. Also Tom will receive
a free trip to Ohio in March to
visit NOBA, the organization that
supplies frozen semen to Newber
ry County.
With either Tom or John Ever-
ette Shealy on the job every day
of the year supplying the outstan
ding bulls available, we feel that
Artificial Breeding offers the op
portunity for great advancement
to our already highly important
livestock economy here in New
berry County.
Remember to come to the an
nual meeting next Thursday night
and bring someone with you who
is interested in our livestock pro
gram in Newberry County.
A good many Newberry County
farmers made money on Hogs
last year. Prices held up good all
uuring 1958.
Looks like hog prices won’t be
quite so good this year. No “bust”
we don’t think but prices are al
ready down and will likely de
cline more. Heres how several
Breasts indicate this year’s hog
m i.ri.ee co
February through April—Pub
stmtial decline as 17% larger fall
pig crop comes to market.
ay_June—Expect a price peak
as small early winter farrowings
come to market.
July on—Gradual decline to
ward lowest prices since 1956.
Bottom this year will likely be $13
to $14. Winter prices will probab
ly continue to slip.
Looks from these reports it
won’t pay to hold hogs past 220
pounds right now. Growers should
plan to aim for the best market
before July then either cut back
production or figure on taking A
,cod bit lower price this falPthan
