PAGE FOUR THE NEWBERRY SUN, NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA FARMS AND FOLKS By J. M. ELEAZER Clcmson Extension Information Specialist Bees Bees are important. Are you scared of ’em? Most folks are. But those with the know-how work with them without veil or glove. I had some bee demonstra tions when I was County agent, but became allergic to their sting and had to stop. In evaluating the bee, honey is just a by-product, although a prodigious amount of work goes into its making. Some of the experts have fig ured that bees have to travel twice the distance around the earth in making just one pound of honey. Each bee gathers only about a quarter of an ounce of honey a season, although she works all the daylight hours. They figure it would take a single bee about 64 years to make a pound of honey. . So, folks, when you eat that de lightful sweet, remember the work-hours that went into it. The great value of the bee is aiding in the pollenifcation of flow ers. Many plants will not bear without their help. Apple orch- ardists, for instance, melon and cucumber growers and others must have bees. Often there are not enough of the wild ones around, so they bring hives into their or chards and fields at blooming time. The widespread use of power ful insecticides has thinned the bee population out at places, I’m told. This is a sort of vicious cir cle. While you are killing one in sect that would destroy your crop you are also hurting one that would help it. I know of no rem edy. Am just calling attention to^ what to me are a few interesting facts. Irrigation I read in The Farrow “Irriga tion is man’s way of redistribut ing the rain. It's a ‘must’ for profitable crop production in some areas; while in others, irrigation is a reliable ‘crutch’ to lean on, just in case.” As I ride with the county agents over South Carolina, they show me instances of its growing use in most areas. On the higher money value crops is where it’s growing fastest. A lot of our to bacco, peaches, and truck crops are getting the resurrected show er through irrigation when draught strikes. Our soils are mostly shallow' and suffer early. And with an average of a bit over 6 drought of 2-weeks or longer a year, it is seldom that a crop escapes drought that cuts its quality and yield. If you are figuring on irriga tion, try to get all of the facts first a-nd have your situation sur veyed by someone with a bit of know-how. Clemson’s engineers and the SCS men can be helpful in determining your water potential and help you with other planning details. For it really takes water to irrigate, and plenty of it at the right time. All farms do not have it. Some are getting it with multiple ponds. And in the low- country they are digging water holes and they can get wells at places. Big 41H Rally Florence has the biggest 4-H enrollment in the state. And their spring 4-H rally was the biggest one I’ve heard of. Assistant Coun ty Agent Eaddy tells me there were over 700 in attendance. We often point to agricultural progress in our stime. Much of it has its roots back yonder in the 4-H Clubs. 4-H has ben and is still attuned to the times. As new farm and home needs arise, 4-H tackles them with demonstrations put on by the boys and girls on their farms and in their homes. Boys Are That Way As I’ve told you before, my fa ther was the country doctor and got passes on the old wood-burner railroad that passed up through the Dutch Fork, At early date, they let me go to Columbia, 18 miles away, by myself to do bits of shopping. Friends thought them reckless to let a country kid go to the city alone. I would often take my bi cycle along in the baggage car so I could ride on the few blocks of paved street that Columbia had. And, man, that was a thrill, after coming from the rough and rocky hills of the Fork. I had a regular routine. I’d get me the best hamburger I ever ate soon after I got there and had climbed up Gervais Street hill to Main Stret. The stand was in a vacant lot there beyond where the Wade Hampton Hotel now stands. It cost a nickle. Then I did my shopping and dropped by Nick Xepappa’s fruit stand up Main Street there and got a vanilla milkshake for another nickle. Those two nickles took the dime they gave me for my dinner. By mid-afternoon I was through and the train did not leave until 5 there at the foot of Gervais St. near _ the river. After riding my bike all I wanted to on those few paved blocks, I would drift down on Assembly St. for an hour or so of entertainment. I won’t have space in this column to tell you all about that, so will hold that until next week. T. H.

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1959 PONTIAC’S NEW APPROACH to styling is pronounced by the Bonneville converti ble and the Ventura sport coupe, only two in a parade of 16 beautiful models intro duced by Pontiac for 1960. Priced just above the Catalina series, the Ventura features special interior appointments, including seats trimmed entirely in Jewel-tone Morro- kide. The Ventura is also available in a four-door hardtop Vista modeL Pontiac! Another fresh one from Pontiac! The inspired beauty of perfect proportion! The precision control of Wide-Track Wheel Design! The softer ride of supple suspension! The wide choice of vigorous Tempest V-8 Engines tailored to economy or high performance! The car craftsmen who developed Wide-Track Wheels, the innovation that brought a new standard of roadability to the American passenger car, present another fresh original for 1960! With clean, crisp lines they’ve composed a delightful rightness of form with unity and rhythm. Into the proved principle of Wide-Track (wheels farther apart for a steadier stance) they’ve engineered an ingeniously improved suspension system. This combination of a firm foundation and supple suspension gives you flawless control, more skill in the fine art of driving, smooth stability, bump-yielding softness. The power plant is typically Pontiac. A wide range of restless, ground- gaining power packages to choose from. All are husky V-S’s, ranging from the frugal 425E economy engine that prefers regular grade gasoline to the fiery Tempest 425. t Haven’t you been an admiring spectator of Pontiacs long enough? Isn’t this your year to become a participant in Pontiac pleasure, to move up to Pontiac ownership, where the enjoyment is the fullest, where the point of view is the freshest? Wide-Track Wheels give you swayless stability, solid comfort. You maneuver with skillful sureness, accurate control. It’s the sweetest, most precise, most rewarding driving you’ve ever felt.
