THE NEWBERRY SUN, NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA
By J. H. ELEAZER
Cl«m»on Extension Information Specialist
Borne Pumpkin!
Dr. W. M. Warner of St. George
told me of a pumpkin a man grew
•down there ih** season tjiat
was a whopper for sure It
weighed 111 pounds and meas
ured six feet and one inch a-
round!
Can anyone beat that?
Peanut Combines
More and more farm jobs are
being . mechanized. County Agent
Bowen of Sumter tells me that
they are fast applying it to the
harvest of peanuts.
Harvesting this crop has al
ways been a laborious job. And
curing them on stakes in the
field exposed them to weather i
damage and other losses. During
the past very unfavorable har
rest season, Bowen tells me they
successfully harvested the great
er portion of their crop with iff
new peanut combines. The pea
nuts are dug and shook mechan
ically, and then picked up by
the combine that removes th^
peanuts that are then hauled to
bins where they are artificially
dried.
Crop Hazards
Farming sure has its hazards
with every crop. And you sure
can't count on any until it is
**in the bag."
County Agent Tate of Jasper
says F. E. Baldwin had a good
rice crop made the past season.
And, just a while before he
could hervest it, along came my
riads of birds and ate up about
#13.000 worth of it. He tried
In every way to keep them out,
but to little avail.
County Agent Jackson tells me
they had a pretty good cotton
crop in Williamsburg. But wet
weather, even before the storm,
cut the value about #40 a bale.
And after the storm, well there
wasn't much left.
And in Richland, Bob Bailey
reports that a fine corn crop
wae largely destroyed by the
storm and the wet weather that
followed it.
Fall truck, too, all over the
state, was just about a complete
wtkheut.
Cotton Allotment
Our cotton acreage in this
State has shnink from almost 3
million acres to considerably less
than one million in recent years.
Allotments have had something
to do with this. Some areas
haven’t wanted it. But others,
well suited to the crop, have
wanted more acreage and could
not get it.
This year we have a new cot
ton program that gives the state
a little increase in allotment. And
there’s some provision for those
areas well suited to the crop and
wanting it to get a little more
acreage. Farm leaders have long
felt that some sort ot elasticity
of this sort was needed in the
cotton program.
S'T
BOYS ARE
THAT WAY
By J. M. ELEAZER
lints Hncd Plsuty nf Water Ton
Our hog man, Ous Du Rant, re
minds us that hogs need plenty
tit good fresh water at aU times.
Bo when grating patches are
planned, we should look ovit for
am adequate water source. Hogs
on full feed will drink about two
pounds of water for each pound
of food eaten, Ant' suckling sows
wUI drink as much as five gal
lons a day. If this needed water
is nnt provided, your results will
suffer.
We always wore some sort of
hat when we were kids. The folks
thought it way dangerous in the
summertime especially to let the
direct sun shine on the top of
your head.
So, broken to a hat as we were,
we never went out without one.
And I’m still that way. I just
don’t feel properly clothed for
the out-of-doors without some
sort of a hat on.
As kids, we had two softs.
For winter, It was a cloth cap
or wool hat. Our hats were t of
the cheap sort that ran up' to
seed like a cone the first time
they got wet and the band came
off. From then on, it was easy
to blow off, as it wouldn’t hold
any sort of grip on your head.
Some of our early summer hats
were woven at home from wheat
straw. But soon after t came a*
long, the country stofp Vhuld $kt
in a lot of plain straw hats that
sold for a nickel or a dime, de
pending upon the size and quality,
Those hats had wide brims and
were in the rough. You couldn’t
wear them without considerable
doctoring. And to make them iast
longer, mothers wuuid always
line them with bright colored
calico. The underside Would be
covered with It and It would be
folded up over the edge and sew
ed down on the machine. The V
cuts would he made* feem * the
center of the place ymt put your
head in to the Inside of the brim.
These V-shaped ends were then
sewed down Inside the cfown of
the hat. That pave the soft cloth
surface against your head and
overcame the roughness and
scratching feeling of the woven
At the January meeting of the
Civic League Tuesday afternoon
at the Community Hall, Mrs. H. B.
Wilson was unanimously endorsed
at “Teacher of the Year” for New
berry County. Th^ endorsement
came following the report of Miss
Sudie Dennis, chairmen of the

The meeting was presided over

Wiseman.
A report of the Welfare Com

en children in the family, the fath
er was dead and the mother re
cently returned from the hospital.
League members were asked to
donate any furniture or kitchen
utensils th.rr have and other int
erested ci uens who wish to may
donate by callin? the Department
of Public Wtdfere. The League
voted financial k iu for securing
items of neceruity not donated. *
At the suggestion of the United
Daughters of the Confederacy, the
League voted to purchase Paul
Scarlett rose plants and have them
planted around the fence at the
Confederate Memorial.
Mrs. Philip T, Kelly, progrsm
leader, introduced the guest
speaker, Mrs. M .T. Corbett, an
interior decorater of Columbia.
Mrs. Corbett presently is redeco
rating Smeltser Hall at Newberry
College, a project of the Women’s
League of the College.
Mrs. Corbett’s subject was
“Home, A Place of Beauty.” She
gavfe many useful hints fdr home
decorations.
Mrs. Wiseman announced that

business meeting at which time the

Delightful refreshments were
served by the hostesses at the
