Lybrand This is the time to begin getting Iris ready for the Spring shows and blue ribbons. Nature has co operated so far by giving us colder than usual winter and that always helps the Iris. Now, your work be gins. First, clean the Iris beds, cut off all the dead fans on the Iris, and burn all rubbish cleared from the beds. By doing this, you will de stroy a lot of insects and disease. When the Iris fans are about four inches tall, apply the first application of fertilizer. I like to divide the fertilizer into three ap plications, two anyway, ten days to two weeks apart, depending on the weather. Any good, balanced garden fertilizer, low in nitrogen is all right. You can buy Iris fer tilizer, ready mixed, or if you pre fer, use a mixture of bone meal and superphosphate. Use about a cupfull of this mixture around each clump of Iris. DO NOT allow the fertilizer on the rhizome. This will induce rot. DO NOT use ma nure or heavy nitrogenous ferti lizers and don’t overdo the ferti lizing. If you work the fertilizer into the soil, be sure to cultivate lightly so as not to disturb the roots or injure the rhizome. After the first application of fertilizer, begin a preventive spray program. This will protect your established plantings. A good gen eral spray is: One Tablespoon of Isotox, 1 1-4 Tablespoons of Phal- tan, 40 drops of DuPont Spreader Sticker to one gallon of water. Or you may use any good fungicide, as Zineb, etc., mixed with mala- thion or DDT, one Tablespoon of each, plus spreader sticker, to one gallon of water. If your beds are small, you may prefer to use a dust. If so, follow directions on the product you use. Should the weather be dry as the Iris come into bloom, a good soak ing of the beds gives bigger and more abundant blooms. Regular watering is not necessary. If you are interested in having other flowers that bloom along with the Iris, try columbine (my favorite companion for Iris) fox glove, gerbera, or any other spring flower that appeals to you. Good luck with your 1963 Iris. Grow then, enjoy them, and dis play your best blooms in the Iris show, sponsored by the S. C. Iris Society, April 17, 1963, in the Game Room of the Jefferson hotel, Columbia.

J. Pike of Columbia, president of the State association. Eye specialists find that mil lions of school children have vision deficiencies, and the percentage in creases during grade school, high school and colleges. “However,” Dr. Pike continues, “a child’s vision handicap often goes uncorrected through parents’ failure to take advantage of the measures available. The president pointed out that simply passing the 20-foot Snellen chart visual test did not assure good vision. He noted that proper vision includes the ability to aim, change focus, maintain this focus I and manage the field of vision. i “The ability to read well and to remember what one reads is a vital factor in school progress. Parents should see to it that their children have good vision with which to work,” Dr. Pike conclud ed, “through an eye examination j once a year.” I MEMBER” BY 'Jhe.&d'lmrnh- From Mrs. Edna Rupprecht, Newbury Park, California: I re member when there was no such thing as income tax. Quite well do I xemember when our peace of mind was undisturbed by the rear ing heads of these venomous little beasties called ‘simplified tax tor ms.’ Have you noticed how much more complicated are these forms since they ‘simplified’ them? Let us hope they will throt tle further effort to simplify their already complicated simplicity! I well remember the day of no speedways, where nowadays we “mow ’em down pronto.” A day of no cars—we traveled by cov ered wagon, horse and buggy or what-have-you. Later, along came 1 the Model T, the high wheels and the cranks (animated and other wise). I remember the curious crowd congregated one day to watch Carl Morris, “Oklahoma’s White Hope” crank my old chain- drive Buick. Now note the new cars. We are just emerging from the ridiculous, fantastic styles of last year into a more serene and modified style today, which indicates, while nor malcy and good sense may de scend into a depression like the Royal Gorge, they finally snap out and are again encouraged to be lieve, sfter all, the world is not gaining momentum in reverse.

Splatter floors are bright idea for busy house wife tired of too much dirt, scuff marks, spilled foods and beverages. If your present floor is in good condition, you can “splatter” without repaint ing. If color is not bright and true, it’s best to re paint before splattering. To get splatters, dip a brush in first color paint you want to use for the polka dot effect. Hold brush in right hand with bristle pointed up, strike the metal band that holds the bristles (the ferrule) against a stick in the other hand. For small splatters, the brush should not be fully loaded and the stick against • which it is struck should be held about a foot from the floor. Hold stick higher, load brush for big splatter. SENATOR STRO HURMOND Reports PEOPLE The Purpose of Government THERE IS TOO MUCH con fusion in our nation today as to the purpose of government. As originally conceived by the Founding Fathers, the purpose of establishing our National Government was to provide the necessary protection from ex ternal sources and the essential order among internal forces to permit individual liberty to flour ish and be exercised. THE ADAPTABILITY of gov ernment for the task of national defense is obvious. No other agency, either individual or co operative, approaches compe tence to deal with such a pur pose. In fact, it wan the need for a common defense that led the Colonies to unite in the first place. The same need was para mount among those which brought about the government created by the Constitution. THE PURPOSE of maintain ing order internally is of equal necessity with that of providing a defense against a common enemy. The scope of powers es sential to the successful accom plishment of this purpose is obviously more difficult to de lineate. Whatever differences of opinion may exist as to the con sistency which attends the in clusion or exclusion of particular powers to accomplish internal order, there is no room for doubt as to the nature of the part which it was contemplated and intended for the government to play. The government was clear ly conceived as an umpire, not a participant, in the activities of society; it was conceived as an instrumentality to insure fair play and the absence of fraud, not as one to guarantee the economic or social success of individual or cooperative en deavor, nor as one to mitigate the burden created by the failure of such endeavor. This inten tion is apparent from the com bination of the plenary nature of the powers actually delegated and the careful circumscription of the number of areas or fields of activity in which any power to act was granted. THE RECOGNITION of the potential evil in governments by the drafters of the Constitution is inescapable. One cannot read that document without being im pressed that the authors were of the opinion that but for the ab solute essentiality of the order and defense which government (Net prinUd «< go would be foolish, indeed, to sub ject his liberty to the possibility of suppression so inherent in any government The limitation of the government’s activities to those commensurate with the logically limited purpose for which it was designed in and of itself served as a safeguard, for the potential of government for the suppression of individual lib erty is proportionate to the sum total of the power vested in the government. Maximum protec tion for the individual from op pression by the government was sought by dispersing those pow ers delegated to the fullest extent possible, consistent with their effective INDIVIDUAL LIBERTY held ascendancy in the minds of those who framed oar government. Their steadfastness of purpose was not so much a preoccupation with liberty, but a realization that it was the means by which all the ancillary aspirations of the individual were possible. IN RECENT YEARS, we have increasingly confused the inci dental benefits produced by the relatively unfettered efforts of free individuals made possible because our government was de voted to preservation of indi vidual liberty. America, under the Constitution, has been bles sed with unequaled material abundance. No nation has ever enjoyed a higher material stand ard of living. Not only have we had more goods, but a greater proportion of the people has en joyed the products of their labor than in any historic or contem porary system. In other words, we have enjoyed both high pro duction and broad distribution. This benefit is a product of in dividual liberty, however, and not a product attributable di- , rectly to government effort. IF THE PEOPLE are not satisfied with the true purpose of government, then they have ; the power to change the pur pose. Let any such change come, however, by the orderly proces ses set out in Article V of the ' Constitution, which provides the method for amending the Con stitution, rather than by usurpa tion of power or by distorting , the meaning and purpose of | government as set out in the Constitution. Sincerely, 'N FARM NOTES Record Cotton Yields Threo and three-tenths (3.3) bales of cotton per acre. What a irecord! That’s the winning yield of last | year’s 5 acre Cotton Contest, made by W. H. Privette in Darlington County. Makes you wonder if we haven’t let one of our best cash crops almost get away from us in this area. Information on the 1962 contest released last week shows that J the 1962 contest was one of the i most successful in the 35 year I history of the annual event. The J average production of the 6 9 3 contestants was 794 pounds of lint oer acre. This was an increase of 20 pounds of lint per acre over the previous high yield which was set in 1961. Due to adverse weather condi tions at planting time, the crop was somewhat later than usual. However, this condition was over come during the growing season. The crop was well fertilized, and in most cases insect control was the best in a number of years. In several counties of the state the average production of all con testants was 2 bales or more per acre. But a lengthy drought dur ing the growing season cut pro duction considerably in much of the Piedmont section. In Newberry county, 21 contest ants averaged 748 pounds of lint or right at a bale and a half per acre. Frank Senn was named county winner with a yield of 5,- 050 pounds lint on 5 acres or a barrel as far as feed supply is concerned. Last summer’s dry weather cut feed production, es pecially hay. Then continued dry weather in the fall delayed plant ing and subsequent growth of small grains and annual grazing planted for winter use. Colder than ever weather this winter has held winter grasses to little or no growth. As a result farmers have fed up all stored feed supplies and are now faced with one or two months more of little or no grass for beef and dairy cattle. Greatly increased costs of grain and pro tein feeds have further tightened the pressure on livestock farmers. This we feel is certain adequate cause for seeking relief by request ing Newberry county to be desig nated as a disaster area. This ap plication has been made. How much relief and how soon is still uncertain. About the best that can be hoped for we think is to get hay and grain shipped in at near normal prices. Details of such re lief, when available, will be pass ed on to you as soon as possible. Newberry Servicemen Tops. John Everette Shealy and Char les Cromer, Servicemen for the Newberry Cooperative Breeding Association, have been named top servicemen in the State for last year. This award was based on the increase in number of cows bred and the percentage of cows settled to first service. This proves what we’ve known all along—that our men are doing an outstanding job in offering a most valuable service to Newberry county live stock owners. But it’s good to see them officially recognized o r their good work. By their services the best bulls in the country are available to every cattle owner through Artificial Breeding. Our congratulations to Charles and John Everette! per acre yield of 2 bales per acre. Frank has received a check for $25 from Southern Agricultural Chemicals, Inc. of Kingstree, S. C. sponsors of the County awards. Poultry Meeting. Newberry poultry producers, particularly our Egg producers will want to attend the meeting to be held on Tuesday, March 5th at, the Silverstreet Rural Fire Sta- i tion. Topics to be discussed con- 1 cern Poultry management and' Health Practices that are of vital concern to profitable Egg produc tion. Representatives of the Clemson Poultry department and the diag nostic Laboratory in Columbia are cooperating with us in presenting this meeting. The morning pro gram includes: “Hatching Date and Egg Production,” “Cleaning and Disinfecting Houses,” “Avoid ing Poultry Stresses,” “Capillary and Other Worms.” The afternoon program includes, “Controlling Fowl Chorera,” “Leukosis in Chic kens,” “Feed Medication for Con trol Diseases,” “Handling Eggs On The Farm,” and “Records and Housing.” The egg business continues of prime importance in Newberry County. Prospects for a continued expanding market is quite good. However we must keep striving for top production which can be accomplished only by adequate “know-how” through best possible management of our laying flocks. Lunch will be served at the meeting place. Therefore you can come for the morning program and remain for the afternoon part of the session, too. This program has been arranged for your ben efit. Please attend! Livestock Feed Shortage Acute. More livestock farmers have already scraped the bottom of the Geo. L. Amick Died Tuesday George L.
