A MO TION PICTURE WITH SCENT!” Thus is heralded the newest novelty in the world of cinema. In “AromaRama” the jaded mov- is promised the “tangs, the tastes, the spices and scents, all the lotus-like fragrances” of the land of jade. “You must breathe it to believe it!” declares the breathless ad vertisement. We have seen movies that stank, but never (me that was fragrant with the scent of the lotus blossom. Recalling movies of the unscented era, we can visualize — no, olfactorize — how much more realistic they might have been if the odorous content of the scene were wafted to the viewers, listeners, and smeUers. Put a touch of “My Sin” on the luscious lobe of Marilyn Monroe’s ear—a touch on the wide, wide screen would paint an outdoor billboard — and not only Tom Ewell but every male in the audience would lose his sense with the scent. Realistic use of the new dimen sion in cinema, unfortunately might not be limited to the fra grant scents. “Moviewhiff News” might bring us the smelly situa tion of national atad international politics. Documentary films would bring us not only the sordid sights and sounds of humanity in misery but also the stench. Peo ple who could view the filth of the slums in our great cities with out blanching could hardly bear the olfactory message an honest documentary would deliver. In travelogues, the picturesque would not always be a delight to refined noses. The awful truth of the Canals of Venice would finally become known to a world of dreamy stay-at-homes. The romantic stories of he-men in sweat stained shirts would be too remindful of unromantic ditch diggers whose fragrance hardly ever reminds misty-eyed maidens of lotus blossoms. Marlon Brando on the waterfront would be just another sweaty guy in a fish market. « And, unbearable thought, a sequel to “Hercules” is being planned. What if the realistic pro ducers should include the strong man’s labor in cleaning out the Augean stables!

M. ELEAZER Clemson Extension information Specialist GOODBYE BILLBUGS Many can well remember when billbugs were a scourge at places in the mid-state and low-country. The USD A and Clemson did an ex haustive study of this troublesome insect in Lee county years ago. They worked out much about its life history and habits and found that crop rotation was about the only means for holding it in bounds then. It affects mainly corn and is a walking insect. Therefore, if corn was put some distance from where the crop had been grown the year before, little if any dam age resulted. But corn following porn was impossible on badly in fested lands. Added to rotation and special selection of crops for billbug in fested lands, in late years certain insecticides in the fertilizer to corn have greatly added to our ability to control this insect. All of which has led our entomologist, Carl Nettles, to say, “The com billbug may one day be banished from corn fields in the state.” •Full details for using insecti cides in fertilizer against this pest are carried in Clemson’s Informa tion Card No. 100. It is free from your county agent or Clemson. FARM PONDS Folks continue to build farm ponds in all parts of the state. Best estimates now place the number at over twenty thousand. Lancaster has the most, followed by Chester field and Horry. Each of these has over a thousand. Many of these are rather small stock watering. But quite a few are of some size and built for irrigation, fish, and recre- Most of our ponds are rather new ation. and haven’t gotten weed-infested yet. But they will, and we need to watch out for that, says our Sam Williams. Caught in time, most weeds can be easily killed out in ponds. And even after they get bad the chemicals will usually get them. But in so doing, all of that decaying matter in the water might hurt your fish, I under stand. Your county agent or SCS tech nician can advvise you about the details of this when you need it. NEW TYPE CONCRETE SILO Clemson has developed plans for a new tilt up horizontal concrete pilo. County Agent Bailey of Rich land says, “They are gaining much prominence among our livestock people.” Marett of Anderson says they are liking them too. Our engineer, F. H. Hedden, tells me they are of two sorts. One is above the ground for the low- country, where the water table is high. And the other is constructed below ground, where a high water table is not a problem. The bot toms are poured first, allowed to harden, and then the sides are poured on them and then tilted up after seasoning. Thus the build ing of expensive forms is avoided. Plans for building these silos are on file in your county agent’s of fice. Floridians Study Dairying In Saluda. I’ve told you of the fast dairy growth in Saluda county. Laluda County Agent Craven reports: “A tour of three Saluda county dairy farms was conducted for the Dairy Science club of the Univer sity of Florida. The students seemed quite impressed with the physical set-ups on the Wheeler Jersey farm, Mitchell Bros, dairy and Crouch Bros, dairy. These dairy undergraduates were par ticularly impressed by the ingen ious automated set-up on the Mitchell farm.” BOYS ARE THAT WAY As kids in the Stone Hills of the Dutch i'ork, we liked to ride in the wagon. There were three ways we did that: just on the running gea'r$ with body off, with the body on, and then on top of a load of anything like hay.- I believe we liked the first one best, for it was a bit more daring. We’d have to lengthen the lines so we could sit on the hounds and rear of the coupling pole when the wagon was emptyIt was light that way and the mules could readily take us to ride. And springy too, sitting there.. But it was bad when we had to go through briars or bushes, for there was no protection as the bent-over things swished under us. We always liked to see wheels turning and cutting their way through’ the mud, and riding that way we could see them good. With the body on, riding was different. It sat on the bolsters, right over the axles, no springs, and it was rough We’d stand on tiptoe and our ankles would ab sorb the quiver, for to etand flat on your heels would shake you dizzy over our rocky roads.. But the easiest riding of all was on a loaded wagon. Specially if it was hauling hay, fodder, or cotton. We’d stack the loose hay or bundl ed fodder high and expertly on it, filling the body first and then let ting it extend over the sides a bit. We’d fork the material up and one stayed on top of the load to place it. When we finished loading, those on the ground couldn’t get up on it unaided. So the one on top would throw them a line or let them catch a fork handle and help pull them up on the load. Then the trip home was a dream ride. You couldn’t feel the bump. But I was always a bit scared the thing would topple over on slants, going up a steep hill, or when limbs brushed it hard. But it never did. Seed cotton from the field or to the gin too made a sweet ride. It wans’t piled above the side planks, so I wasn’t afraid of it tilting ov er. t BOOKMOBILE THURSDAY, JUNE 23 Union Community, Mrs. Grady Lee Half acre Union Community, Eugene Hor ton ' Jolly Street Community, Mrs. E.
