Mother has enough income to live comfortably.” There will come a time, at your mother’s funeral or in the years after it, when you will feel re morse if you do not provide now what your mother needs—but not necessarily if you fail to piSovide what she wants. Does your mother need the pro tection of your home, or is she just a contrary old woman who wants her way? I suspect, from the way you write, that she’s con trary. In that case you have the medicine for your conscience. What then Is the practical an swer to the problem? Make a thorough search of your own city for an institutional home where your mother might be hap py. The both of you would be happier if you were closer to gether as she grows old. There are many homes run by religious institutions where women of your mother’s age find contentment. With the home close by you could have your mother over for dinners and weekends, and you could keep an eye on her welfare in the home. A second solution might be to find a young family who would move into your mother’s home— to pay her rent and give her com panionship. This has worked in some cases of older mothers where nothing else would work. For » copy of the new Golden Tears booklet by Thomas Collins, send 35 cents In coin (no stamps) to Dept.

U'OR the widowed mothers who ^ are growing old, and for their worried children, will you please offer some solution to this prob lem? “My mother is 72 years old and is living alone and unhappily hi the old family home in a city 400 miles from where I live with my husband and our two school-age children. “My mother wants to give up her home and move in with my family. I think this is not best. I do not .want to share my hus band’s time with her. I do not want my children to have their pleasures hampered by my moth er’s nerves. I do not want my home invaded by an outsider— and a mother is an outsider no matter how dear she may be to you. “It seems cruel for me to be writing in this vein because I have searched my soul and I be lieve that I am as devoted to my mother as most married daugh ters can be. Yet she would bring dissension into my home, even though in small ways, because the manner of living which she knows is not the manner of living my husband and I have developed for ourselves in this year of 1960. “Anything which would make me or my family unhappy in the event my mother moved in with us would tend also to make her unhappy. So perhaps I write you not entirely out of selfishness. “But what do I do? My mother is insisting that she come to live with us.

I’ve noticed that yard tenders appear with their machines about the same week. Lawn mowing is as good indication that spring is here that I know. When that week comes, we’ll know the fashions for mowing this year. I’ll predict that you’ll see some operators in swim suits, somd in shorts, and others in normal working apparel. For many of us mowing ac complishes two things. We get the grass mowed, and secondly, we get a sun bath. I'm not against either. Getting two things done in one operation is efficiency. But in this case, 1 wonder. Each year we hear of an increasing number of mower accidents. Rot ary type mowers have picked up innocent little- objects in the yard and turned them into deadly mis siles. It leads to the question: are nowers playthings, or are they machines that should be treated with respect? You be the judge. Frank Hedden, Clemson exten sion agricultural engineer, says that metal objects or stones pick ed up by a mower blade may be thrown with almost the velocity of a bullet. The legs are particul arly vulnerable. Clothes or heavy boots are not likely to stop such 1 flying missiles, but I’m inclined! to think the injury would be less severe. I’m not suggesting that you put on a suit of armor to mow the lawn. But perhaps some of those who have been injured would rec ommend it! I asked Mr. Hedden to suggest some ways that mower operators could lessen the chances of in jury to themselves or to some member of the family. This is what he said: First, pick up all potentially dangerous objects from the yard —particularly nails, stones, and bores. Second, see that all safety guards are in place on the mower. While cranking the motor, hold the machine down firmly by placing your foot on the mower housing. Third, send all children or other members of the family into the house. Bystanders often get hurt by power missiles. Fourth, push, don’t pull, a lawn mower. Steep slopes are particul arly dangerous. When possible, mow with the slope, not up and down. By following these rules lawn mower operators can worry less about flying missiles. Your biggest woYry thew 'may be getting too much sun. .. . There’s a growing demand for farm, jaredik. - Our Ag v Economist, Chris. RochlsteH reminds me that the average investment in South Car olina- farms is now $15,000. It has doubled since 1954. Crejftf t ^eeds have also doubled. Increased demand for credit is reflected-by reports from lending agencies. Randolph Jameson, the manager of the Federal Land Bank of Sumter, told me his of fice was lending up to one mil lion dollars a year to farmers in Sumter, Lee and Clarendon counties. A need for money does not mean farmers are in an unhealthy con dition. It does mean that they need more money to operate larg er farms that are more intensive ly cultivated. Where ‘ good management is provided, farmers are good credit risks. There’s almost no limit to how much money farmers • are allowed to borrow. The National Farm, Loan Association, for in stance, makes small loans to part- time^ farmers. Oh the other hand, Mr. Jameson says that his asso ciation can loan up to $850,000 to a single far^r, who is able to qualify. , 1 Lending '-'agencies have a big stake in agriculture. By wi&ly in vesting in it, they are contribut ing to the economic development of the state .

First, the breeders judged the live ani mals. Then the hogs were killed and dressed. Measurements were made to determine the amount of lean meat on the loins and hams. This practical experience breeds ers are getting in learning to see through the hog ma~ result in more lean and less fat on our pork, Gus DuRant, our extension,, livestock man, says. See through a hog? Buyers and producers would like to. They would like to know what hogs had the choicest pork chops and the hammiest hams. Most of the time they don’t know until the hogs are killed and “dressed out.” Poland China swine breeders have just h6ld a contest in Or angeburg to further the art of Efforts of the Clemson Exten sion Service and the ASC comm-, ittees in urging farmers to re lease unplanted cotton acreage has /paid off. Eighteen thousand acres more were released this year than last —making possible reallocation of about 83,000 acres this spring* The success may* insure the’" re tention of the state's quot|r! 77,000 acres. It will also, allow about 25,000 acres to he distribut ed to 17 counties whor .fcuift. re quested additional acreage. “Our concern now is to get the crop planted in order to preserve our cotton base and protect fu ture allotments,” M. C. Rochester, agricultural economics leader, said. »:4. “Planting the additional acre age will add $22,000,000 to our farm income next year.” You Benefit Time-Wise and Money-Wise When You Secure Our best proof to this statement can be had from present home owners who do business with us.
