PAGE FOUR THE NEWBERRY SUN, NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA THURSDAY, SEPT. 24, 1959 FARMS AND FOLKS By J. M. ELEAZER Clemson Extension Information Specialist Irrigation Paid County Agent Tate of Jasper told me “Dry weather seriously hurt the spring snap bean crop in the county. Three irrigation demonstrations were carried on with this crop, and they were very successful. Not only was the yield greater, but the quality was much better, and premium prices were received by those using irrigation. Crop insurance! That’s what ir rigation often proves to be. And that is specially so with truck crops, peaches, and tobacco. And on regular field crops too, like corn, cotton, and pastures it often pays well. v To get the cost of irrigation down, we need to make multiple uses of it. We might not be justi fied in getting it for just one low value crop, but for several it is a different story. And when we get it for one of the high money value, crops, we can afford to use it when drought threatens crops of less value. New Treatment for Barley Smut A new and effective treatment has been developed for barley seed. It needs to be treated some time before seeding. Get the de tails from your county agent now if you plan to plant barley. Smut took a big toll from our barley fields last spring. County Agent Bailey of Rich land tells me their demonstration 1 REMEMBER BY THE OLD TIMERS From Mary R. Wall, Waynoka, Oklahoma: I remember when the crops were “laid by’’ in Augus’ and word got around in our neighborhood that on a certain Saturday everybody would meet at the creek and have the annua! fish fry. This was the “vacation" for farm families and each one knew to bring a basket well filled with food, a big iron skillet, lard salt and meal. The owner of the seine would come early and he and other vol unteers would take off shoes and sox, roll up their “pant legs” (trousers had not yet come in style), and start seining the holes where the “big one” was last seen. Soon a tub of fish weighing from two to 15 or 20 pounds each would be turned over to the men who had watched from the bank, to prepare for the frying pan. In the meantime, the fires had been built and beds of coals were ready for the cooking. The wom en spread red checked table cloths on the ground and emptied the contents of the baskets—three to five layer coconut and choco late cakes, sweet potato custards, berry pies, potato salad, green beans and black eye peas, beet pickles, loaves of fragrant home made bread—and some venture some soul would make “hush puppies” to fry in the grease after the fish were done. All gathered around the table to say thanks for the bounty which was ours. After dinner the “fishes and loaves” were gathered up, the men would pitch horse shoes or talk about the crops, politics or what interested them, while the women discussed neighborhood news and exchanged recipes, planned the next quilting bee, and the children wadded ir the water, catching crawfish and tad poles. of this new' anerobic treatment of barley the past season “was 100% effective.” That not treated smut ted 20 percent. Weed Killers With high labor costs that we have now', weed killers are receiv ing more and more attention. Clemson keeps up to date in test ing the new ones out and advises the county agents and others of the results. County Agent Lloyd of Edge- field tells me Maurice Smith there used premerge weed control on 100 acres of cotton at planting- time wuth excellent results the past season. And agents in many other counties tell of similar re sults where the materials were properly applied. So, in making- plans for your next row- crop, fi gure on this thing of killing weeds and grass before they come in the drill there to bother you. Destroy Cotton Stalks Early Early destruction of cotton stalks has always been an effective tool against the boll weevil. Main twmble is in getting it all picked early enough. -But if you can get that done and the stalks com pletely turned under some weeks before frost you will have im proved your next year’s weevil situation quite a bit. For weevils eat and breed on cotton plants un til winter runs them into hiber nation. To take cotton away from them a good while before that time sure thins them out, says our weevil man Mack Sparks. Early stalk destruction has been their main weapon in fighting the pink boll worm out west. In fact, down in the great cot ton counties along the Rio Grande in Texas they have strict laws re quiring early and complete de struction of all growing cotton. And if a farmer doesn’t do it, the county goes there and does it, charging him for the work plus a penalty. Their cotton comes off so early that they can do this very effectively and starve the insects out pretty well before hibernat ing time. If that pest ever gets here it won’t be so easy, for there is less time between the finish of our harvest and frost, when they hib ernate, like the boll weevil does. And it is headed this way, having been found at spots in Louis iana and Arkansas. Intensive ef forts are being exerted to eradi cate it there. BOYS ARE THAT WAY By J. M. ELEAZER As a kid, I hated to see cotton start opening. For it meant work that I hated. In fact, I wasn’t fond of any sort of work. But picking cotton was a pet abomi nation of mine. The stuff just wouldn’t accumulate in my sack fast enough to suit. And it was so far to the other end of the row, where there was some shade, that 1 stayed discouraged. Yes, to us kids a big crop of cotton was a calamity. But to our parents it was good fortune. Back then cotton did not open until well out in September. Now it is a month earlier to beat the boll weevil. By the time the white fields were calling, our wild plen- DEED TRANSFERS cAnderdon d Shoe Store • Tan Calf • Black Suede AAAA to B •.sv 1 M I boulevard 1495 SI Suddenly, comfort is suck a fasliionakle word This fall . . . more emphatically than ever . . . the most fashionable fashions are the most wearable fashions.

And the autumnal equinox had usually brought abundant water to streams that had become sluggish or dried clear up from summer droughts. So there we were, with the fruitful woods and tumbling streams a-calling, and wide fields of white cotton barring us from them! We’d sneak off at every pretense and beat out of cotton picking for a while. And at a sag in the field, where the cotton grew large, we’d linger and play, making little animals with straws stuck in late maypops and green cotton bolls. Dew was thought to be bad on sores, and if we had the slightest one on our bare feet we’d play that up and start picking as late as possible. And to get water, we’d go to a spring a half mile back in the hills rather than to the house a few hundred yards away. Just anything to get out of picking that cotton! There was occasionally a re ward in the cotton patch at that time. We replanted the skips in watermelons. And occasionally a late cne had eluded all eyes and we’d find it as we were picking. What a joy that was, specially if it was early in the day and still cool from the night! We’d bust it on a rock, and my the good eatin’ that would peel out of it in juicy Ifunks! Soon, more memories of the cotton patch.

ROBERT H HARPER COMPENSATION OF YEARS O NE of the compensations of growing older is a growing caution that ofttimes brings its reward. When the eye is not as quick and reflex i not as swift, the man who is growing older realizes he must be a little slower when he is behind a wheel. Vivid memories of hair-breadth escapes when he crossed on a red light or did some other foolhardy thing may tend to make him slower on the accelerator and quicker on the brake. Thus the memories of the past are one of the compensations of growing older, for there may be avoided the recollection of killing a fellow being or maiming him for life. It is a pity that many of life’s lessons are learned by experi ence, provided that death does not intervene to remove all op portunity of learning. If the elders are disposed am the younger are ready to listen the elders may be, through their own past, the prophets of the younger men’s future. Refer ence is made, not only to atti tude behind a v/heel but also ti attitudes in all places of life.

BACK ON HIS FEET By Roland Keeler When Sam Potter was laid off his job because of the steel strike, he drove his car into his garage, closed the door and snapped the lock; then he said to his wife, “Mable, I can’t afford to drive the car any more. “It will do you good to walk,” Mable said, grinning. And walk Sam did. Ten blocks to the post office the next day. And ten blocks back home.* On the way home Sam met Mil- ton Carpenter who wa? puttering around in his front yard. "Haven’t seen you for quite a spell,” Milton said. “Been think ing a lot about you and your fam ily, too. How is it with you?” Sam told Milton about his being laid off from work. “If you hadn’t walked by, I never would have known about it,” Milton said. About five blocks farther along his way, Nellie Hamilton spied him and called him over to the side door. “I haven’t seen you for such a long time, I hardly knew it was you,” Nellie said. “How have you been, and how is Mable?” “We’re all fine,” Sam replied. “I’ve b ;en wanting to send you some of my cottage cheese, but I haven’t seen you,” Nellie said. “My mouth is already water ing,” Sam said. “Mable always said you made the best cottage cheese in the country.” “It has been a long time since we’ve seen you, even if we have lived close together,” Nellie said. “But we stay Wose to home.” “We’ve been on the go a great deal of the time, but we’ll be staying close to home now,” Sam said. Now that I’m not driving.” “A person can get to depend a great deal on a car,” Nellie said. On the way home Sam felt good, although his day had not been especially unusual. He had renewed old acquaintances, and he had brought home soone good cottage cheese. “I’m so glad to get the cheese,” Mable said, “and it was good to hear from Nellie again.” “I’ve got to find another job,” Sam said. The next day Sam returned the jar that belonged to Nellie. “We certainly enjoyed that cheese,” he said. Then he walked on his way to ree Milton. “I’ve got to find a job to tide me over,” Sam told Milton. “Have any ideas?” Milton studied for a few min utes. Then a smile grew on his tan face. “If you think you could stand working for me, I can give you a part time job.” And so Sam started working a few hours each week for Milton. It helped, but he still needed a bit more to tide him over till he could get his old job back. And then the idea struck him like a bolt from heaven as he was walking by Nellie’s place. If everyone else liked her cottage cheese as much as he and Mable —he hurried to her door. “How much cheese can you make?” Sam asked Nellie. “You sound like you’re in a hurry,” Nellie said, smiling. “I can get all the milk I want from my brother’s farm.” “That’s it,” Sam said. “I’ll start a cottage cheese route. I’ll make a profit, and you will too.” “Sounds good to me,” Nellie said. “When shall we start?” “Tomorrow,” Sam agreed. That coming Sunday when Mable and Sam started out walk ing to church, Sam said, “I’ve never felt so good in my life.” Mable smiled. “That’s because you’ve started walking again. You’re back on your feet.” LAFF OF THE WEEK “Tlie way I figure it, two can live as cheaply as one if we only eat on alternate days!” Henderson Dies At Beach Island Frank Henderson, 57, brother of A.

AMCRICANA _ citie5 To See San Diego, California Many factors contribute to making San Diego, California, one of the fastest growing major cities in the United States. During the pas* year San Diego jumped from 24th to 20th place in population among all cities in the United States and when the 1960 census is taken, San Diego could be in the 18th or 19th spot. Construction is at an unprece dented rate and there has been a steady buildup of new industries and expansion of existing indus trial facilities, according to the San Diego Chamber of Commerce. San Diego currently is issuing building permits in larger amounts than many cities several times larger. Most of the industrial expansion is taking place in the aviation field, but there has been consider able diversification in industry during the past 16 months. San Diego County employment reached 293,500 in May 1959. The number of employed workers increased by 17,400 since May 1958. The city fulfilled a long-time need with development of a 396- acre industrial tract on Kearny Mesa. San Diego’s new Tenth Ave nue Terminal, a $10 million pro ject, was opened in 1959 and there has been a big increase in ship ping through this port One of the city’s fast growing industries is tourist trade, which brought $144 million to the County last year. The population of San Diego City v/as 334,387 when the national census was taken in 1950. It had increased to 494,201 in a special census in March 195< and now, is estimated at well over a half mil lion. Population of the County is estimated atvery close tol,000,000. At the same time, there has been tremendous growth of the Mexican area south of San Diego. TAX NOTICES The tax books will be open for the collection of 1959 taxes on and after October 1, 1959.
