FERTILIZATION
Don’t forget to use your soil
analysis recommendations as a
guide when you fertilize your pas
tures and crops this spring.
These reports can mean money
in your pocket if you put them to
use. We all know that more ferti
lizer should be used for higher
production. In practically every
case the soil analysis showed a
need for more fertilizer. Some
cases showed that the improper
analysis fertilizer was being used
at expense to the farmer.
Remember to supply your crops
with the proper analysis and
Dr. Heisey Is
Owner Of A
Rare Volume
By MRS. A. H. COUNTS
Dr. Paul H. Heisey of Newber
ry, a former professor of Bible
and religious education at Newber
ry College, now retired, ,owns a
copy of the largest book printed
in Colonial America. It is the
“Martyr’s Mirror.” It was print
ed at the Ephrata Cloisters, Eph-
rata, Penn, one of the few prot-
estant convents and monastries in
the country at the time.
The “Martyr’s Mirror,” pub
lished in 1748, contains 1,500
pages, has an elaborate fronts-
piece and weighs 15 pounds. The
cover measures 9 by 15 inches and
is of wood covered with leather. It
required two years to print it and
is a masterpiece of printing. It is
written in German.
The original | “Martyr’s Mirror”
was compiled in Holland in 1660
by Tieleman Jansz van Braght,
an eminent theologian who es-
posed the Mennonite faith. He
compiled many short books and
separate accounts of the multiplied
thousandswho, Ifrom the time of
Christ had suffered martyrdom
rather than give up their religious
beliefs.
The van $raght book was of
limited edition; scarce in the
homeland and ever scarcer in
America. Printed as it was in
Dutch, it was indecipherable to
most Germans. So the Mennon-
ites in Pennsylvania thought it a
good idea if in some way the
great record of the Martyr’s book
could be placed in every home.
Bishop Henry Funk and Dielman
Kolb were chosen to find the
ways and means of having the
Martyr’s book reprinted and
placed in every Mennonite home
as a supplement to Holy Writ.
This volume engaged the atten
tion and labors of the brothers
and sisters as soon as they had
obtained a plant and equipment
with which to work, for it is said
that this volume alone required
the services of no less than 18
men who worked more than three
years to translate, revise, type
set, manufacture paper, print, fold
As kids in the Stone Hills of
the Dutch Fork, we never said yes
or no to older folks. It was “yes
ma’am” and “no sir.”
Once a Yankee family visited
us. In addition to their funny talk
rolling their r’s, we were im
pressed with the way they ans
wered their parents and older
folks. Asimple yes or no answer
from a child to a grown person
was impertinence to us. But they
were not raised that way and so
thought nothing of it. I wonder
what they thought of our mams
and sirs in answering old folks?
I don’t recall exactly where the
breaking line on this , was. Of
course, we kids answered each
other with blunt yes afritf no, just
like the northern kids answered
everyone. I think the change was
made w)ien addressing those who
were our parents age or older.
And that held right on through
life, as we got older too.
I still like that old Southern
custom and our children were
raised, that way.
Another old custom I still like
is for men to take their hatSj off
when in an elevator with a lady.
It is not done much now in some
sections of the country, A man
in a large city told me he thought
the reason for dropping it was
ithe crowded conditions on many
elevators. To take your hat off
and hold it by your side takes
more room or crushes the hat.

Gun Safety
The hunting season is on. My,
the happy days it brings to many I
But in all too many cases it
brings tragedy. The latter is
caused by human error or care
lessness.
The National Safety Council
says well over half of the hunt
ing accidents fall in three cate
gories. They are, humans in line
of fire, mistaking humans for
game, and hunting with the safe
ty catch off.
Every hunter is urged to
learn, obey and teach these 10
commandments of gun safety:
Treat every gun us loaded.
Keep gun unloaded when not
in hunting area.
Be sure barrel is clear of ob
struction, and ammunition is
right power for gun.
Carry gun so direction of muz
zle can be controlled, even if you
stumble.
Be sure of target before firing.
Never point gun at anything
you don’t want to shoot.
Always unload unattended
guns.
Never climb tree or fence or
jump ditch with loaded gun.
< Never shoot at a flat, hard
surface or the surface of water.
And avoid alcoholic drinks be
fore and during shooting.
Aromatic Tobacco.
The county agents who had ar
omatic tobacco demonstrations
Ehe past year report generally
good results.
We have two assistant county
agents who are specialists with
this crop. One is G. D. Butler, vko
works out of County Agent Jones’
office in Greenville. And the oth
er is D. P. Matheson, who works
out of County Agent Morgan’s of
fice in Oconee. Each of these men
supervises tobacco demonstrations
in a group of counties.
This i s a specialty crop, and
one that usually pays good labor
returns where it is handled right.
It calls for a lot of labor at times
and is well suited to small farms
with a lot of family labor. Much
of the work going into it is light
Work, auch at women and child
ren do.
'Ofiy y- : tv
Clemson has done a lot of work
on improving the variety of this
tobacco and on the handling and
curing of the crop. It seems best
suited to the lighter clays of the
up-country. Those interested in
planting it should contact their
county agent so that one of the
specialists can come in, look the
situation over, and give the need
ed information about the crop.
There are no allotments on this
tobacco, and this country is a big
importer of it. •
Hog Killing Time.
Hogs are cheaper than they
have been. Maybe you’ll kill a few
this winter. If you’ve sort of for
gotten about how to make and
cure good things from a hog, you
will likely siill find a few copies
of Clemton’s Bulletin 77 at your
county home agent’s office. It
gives the details. The supply of
this publication is out at Clemson,
but they likely still have a few in
the counties.
Tobacco Change,
County Agent King of Marion
accompanied a group up to the
Oxford Experiment station in N.
Carolina back in the summer to
see their advanced tobacco work.
He reports, “The concensus of
those attending was that mechan
ical harvesting was several years
off, however the trend to larger
acreages and fewer farmers would
hasten this transition. It was felt
that bulk curing would be put In
to practice much sooner than me
chanical harvesting.”
Agricultural Outlook
' More debt. . higher production
costs, less income; this about
sums up the outlook for farmers
during 1960. Not very encourag
ing, is it?
It’s not that we like to look
on the dark side, but we do feel
strongly that every farmer in
Newbsrry Oounty should give
sbrious thought to what can be
done in the face ef such an out
look for 1960. The solution is
very simple In theory but hard
in practice. We’ve got to either
increase farm production or re
duce expenses or both, to better
oiv farm situation for 19$0. The
big fiek here is that we may cut
ing 6,000 lbs. of milk per year.
It is possible though to make a
good profit from cows that pro
duce 10,000 pounds.
Less than a bale of cotton per
acre barely pays expenses. Over
a bale per acre usually pays a
decent profit.
With eggs selling for less than
40 cents a dozen very few hens
producing less than 200 eggs per
year show a profit. At the same
price, hens laying 240 eggs per
year can ivuke a farm family
Our big problem
here still is not overproduction,
but inefficient production in too
many cases. Perhaps our biggest
goal in ’60 needs to be‘*What Can
Be Done” and not “What Cant
good i Hviflg.
Ahd so it goes.
per cow.
Hi
* '' WTT *
Economists advise that here in
our section we should aim for
at- least 10,000 pounds milk per
cow and 160,000 pounds milk pro
duced per worker. Also that the
most economical size operatior
is a 60-cow herd operated as
two-man program.
Can your dairy operation match
this? Remember £ou are already
competing with others that can
and are doing it.
