made, including one ]that she take
a small apartment near our home.
“There is no r^ fipanci^l prob
lem involved. 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.

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. She has turned down
every alternate proposal I have

FARMS & FOLKS
Lawn Mower operators, what
will you wear this year?
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 .

seeing through the hog. 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

more lean and less fat on our

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.”
