THURSDAY, MAY 7, 1959 THE NEWBERRY SUN PAGE THREE m Strom murmond FARMS AND FOLKS By ELEAZER TO Ciemson Extension Information Speclallat PLE RED BILL OF RIGHTS In recent years the U. S. Su preme Court in decision after de cision has been drawing up for American Communists and their fellow travelers and sympathizers a. long Bill of Rights, which the Communists say have made it easier for them to operate in this country. In a recent issue of the Worker, the official news organ of the Communist Party, the paper’s manager, Mr. William L. Patter son, urged more boldness by party members with these words: “Let’s be bolder, McCarthyism lias sustained a heartening defeat in our country. American reaction has in fact sustained a number of defeats on the political as well as moral front. “We say this because it must be made clear that the prevailing political atmosphere permits in creasing activities with lessening- danger of victimization.” Here is the Supreme Court’s Bill of Rights for Communists: 1. A citizen can be a member of the communist Party without be ing in violation of the law. (SACB case) 2. A Communist—or any other citizen—may legally advo cate forcible overthrow' of the gov ernment as an abstract doctrine. <Yates case) 3. A Communist or ganizer cannot be prosecuted for forming new' Communist cells. <Y a tes case) 4. A federal em ployee cannot be fired from a ‘“nonsensitive” job merely for as sociation with Communists. (Cole & Service cases) o. A witness before a congres sional committee cannot be com pelled to answer questions about Communist affiliations unless the questions are -shown clearly to be pertinent to the subject under in vestigation. (Watkins ease) (5. A defendant can compel the govern ment to show him, through the trial judge, statements that wit nesses against him made to the FBI in secret, pre-trial investiga tions. (Jencks case) 7. A person cannot be denied a passport to travel abroad merely because of Communists beliefs or associa tions. (Drayton case) 8. A professor cannot be ques tioned by a State Agency as to his belief in Communism or his advocacy of Communism in the classroom. (Sweezy case) 9. A board of education cannot fire a teacher for refusing to answer questions about Communist acti vity. (Slochower case) 10. A Com munist cannot be prosecuted by a State for the crime of sedition. (Nelson case) 11. A State cannot deny bar membership to a lawyer who refuses to say whether he is a Communist. (Schware and Ko- nigsberg cases) 12. A Communist who has been told to leave this country under a deportation order more than six months old cannot be kept under surveillance by the U. S. Attorney General. (Witkovich case) 13. An alien who violates the Internal Se curity Act by joining the Commu nist Party after entering the U. S. can wipe out this crime by leaving WINDBREAKS IN MIDDLES : Many of our lighter sandy soils : are subject to wind erosion at tim- : es. specially in the spring. This is i bad in at least two ways. It blow's ! the soil away, silting up low spots. And it often ruins the young crops trying to come there. County Agent Thompson tells me many of their farmers leave strips of lupines in the middles to protect young crops and the land from this wind erosion. Then later, when the main danger has passed, and the crop is up big enough to protect itself, they finish plowing the middles out. While riding with the county agents in Chesterfield and Lexing ton I saw the same thing being done with their rye cover crop. KILLING WEEDS IN GRAIN AND PASTURES we used to in row-crops, up so bad years, with HOLIDAY NOTICE Sunday, May SOUTHERN MEMORIAL DAY Being a Legal Holiday The Institutions Listed Below Will Not Be Open For Business. OnlMonday, May 11 th The Public Is Urged To Take Notice of This and Arrange all Business Accordingly Newberry County Bank Newberry Joanna The South Carolina National Bank The Bank of Conunerce Prosperity, S. C. Newberry Federal Savings & Loan Association The State Building & Loan Association You know, when have most of our land weeds didn't build there. But in recent a much smaller acreage of row- crops that are kept clean, weed-s tend to build up on our lands. Yes, weetls have built up so that they are a serious pest in much of our grain. Chemicals have been developed to kill these and not hurt the grain. They are becom ing wddely used. Anderson is a big grain county. County Agent Marett told me that about 75 per cent of their grain was sprayed with 2, 4-D the past spring for weed control. Bushy of Newber ry estimates that at least GO per cent of theirs was similarly treat ed. and Wood of Pickens tells of increasing interest in it there. This changing agriculture is al ways calling for something new. And in pastures too, weeds of ten get to be a problem. County Agent Cochran of Union says they “got an early start on spray ing noxious weeds in pastures” this spring. Our specialist in this line, Ernest Turner, tells me most weeds are much easier to kill when they are very small. There fore they should be detected in time and the proper spray applied. Your county agent has the details of all of this. SAFETY IN THE DRIVER’S SEAT “Safety might be the in the driver’s seat” called the slogan for 4-H tractor program that’s now in its 15th year, according to M. C. McKenzie of the Ciemson Extension Service. He tells me over 500 4-H ’ers are now' enrolled in this branch of 4-H in South Carolina. “Besides safe operation, club members learn efficient operation and maintenance,” he says, and “Success in the 4-H tractor pro ject means money in the bank to 4-H boys who follow' the advice of their instructor.” It’s a big jump from the mule to the tractor. And there’s a lot to learn. Most young folks are apt at learning mechanical things. F r o m experienced instructors many of them are learning the rudiments of operating and care not only of the tractor but other complicated farm machines. These carry real dangers to those who not been taught their ha and how to avoid about the mule’s away from them. have zards knew kept them. We heels and We need that same know-how about the machine. And many of our young sters get a lot of it in their 4-H clubs. HOME DEMONSTRATION WEEK May 3-9 is being observed as National Home Demonstration Week. Nearly 7 million farm homemakers are members of the home demonstration clubs over the country. The first of these in America was organized in Sum ter county here forty odd years ago. The mother of our extension entomologist, Carl Nettles, w r as a charter member of that club. BOYS ARE THAT WAY Did you ever hear of anything tasting brown? I had heard folks in the Dutch Fork, w'here I was raised, say they bad a sort of dark brovu taste in their mouths, when they were very bilious. But I had really tasted some thing dark brown once. It happen ed this way: As I have often told you, our small Dutch Farmers were of the most frugal sort. In the early early days, they even made the cloth our clothes were fashioned from. But most of that had given away to store-bought cloth w'hen I came along. But our stockings this country, quitting the party, and then re-entering the country. (Bonetti case) For the latest favoritisms to Communists, w’ateh your Supreme Court decisions. Sincerely, STROM THURMOND were still home made, all the w'ay from the cotton and wool. Certain local dyes were used. A favorite for stockings was green w'alnut hulls. Those things have a powerful stain or dye in them, as many have doubtless noted from hulling them before they are ma ture and dry. Well, my mother had made a batch of this dye or tea from green walnut hulls preparatory to diping a lot of balls of stocking thread in it. She had to let it cool there or. the kitchen tabfe in a large bucket we sometimes used for w'ater. And it was covered wdth a cloth, just as the drinking water usually w'as to keep dust and flies out of it. In mid-afternoon I came in fa mished. In the dim light of the kitchen, I didn’t even look at what was in the bucket. I soused the dipper in and took a swig before I noted something was wrong, bad wrong. I ran and spat most of it out. And then to the well, drew a buck et of fresh water, and used a good portion of it in rinsing my mouth out. But no amount of rinsing could get all of that dark browm taste out of my mouth. And it was after supper before I was no longer conscious of it. So I say that I know just what is meant by a dark brown taste.
