NOTES

A MILLION DOLLAR RAIN!
Yes sir, that’s what we choose
to call the good soaking we had
last weekend. The two previous
weeks of dry weather were good
as it allowed farmers to get in
the fields to get a lot of things
done. But the grain crop was be
ginning to suffer, pasture grasses
were failing and lots of plowed
land was too loose for planting.
And the way the rain fell was
ideal—a good slow, steady soak
ing kind.
Guess some folks think we write
and talk a lot about the weather
and we’re aware that we do. But
anybody raised on a farm just
can’t forget how vital the weather
is to a farmer’s success. After all,
you can’t do anything just right,
but if the weather doesn’t co-op
erate a farmer just can’t make
good crops. That’s why you have
to admit that from a pure business
standpoint, a farmer is the big
gest gambler in the world. When
you figure the odds that he’s up
against, from the standpoint of
weather, insects, diseases, sagg
ing markets, etc., you begin to
realize that a farmer’s lot is by
no means a secure one.
But thank goodness that hope
springs eternal in the heart of
every real farmer. That hope plus
faith in the Almighty keeps him
going in spite of the odds against
him.
Now with that bit of philosophy,
let’s get back to the things at
hand.
Soybean Market Looks Good.
Prices for the 1963 crop of soy
beans will be supported at the
same level as for last year. This
means the national average sup
port price will be $2.25 per bushel.
With this assurance the soybean
prices will likely be good again
this fall, let’s get to planting
beans as soon after May 1st as
possible. For early planting be
tween May 1st and June 10th,
stick to the recommended varie
ties, including CNS-4, Hampton,
Jackson and Lee| For late plant
ing, after harvest of grain, Bien
ville, CNS-4, Hampton and Jack-
son are recommended for our
LOGAN'S GUN COURTING
By Katy Baker
W HEN the door opened and
Matt Jones walked into the
saloon, Johnny Logan laid his pa
per aside and glanced toward the
back room where his bartender
was cleaning up. No one else was
around.
“Matt,” Johnny spoke, “I’ve al
ready warned you to stay away
from my girl, Rosie HalL This is
the second warning. There will
only be one more.”
Matt’s startled look faded from
his eyes and he smiled contempt-
tuously. He walked across the room
and sat down while Johnny watched
him balefully. A minute later he
laid his gun on the bar and began
counting the notches on the handle
in a voice loud enough to reach
Matt. “One—two—-three—four,” he
intoned.
Matt’s eyes grew hard for a
moment, then his lips twisted with
another smile. “Is the count cor
rect?” he asked, amused.
“Yes. And I’ve still got room for
another.”
Matt shrugged.
“These are for men I’ve met in
old Texas,” Johnny said, frostily.
“Didn’t want to do it, but had to.
Came to Oklahoma in hopes of out
living the rep it gave me. Want to
be respectable, if I can.”
“I see,” Matt responded dryly.
Silence settled over the saloon
and lasted for several minutes.
Then Matt went to the bar, ordered
a drink, tossed it off, and went to
the street.
An hour later he re-entered the
place with Rosie Hall clinging to
his arm. Matt ordered whiskey and
Rosie ginger ale. They stood silent
for several minutes watching the
anger building up in Johnny’s face,
then went to the street laughing.
Matt returned to the bar room a
few minutes later. The saloon was
beginning to fill up, and Johnny
didn’t see him until he stepped to
the bar and ordered a drink. John
ny leaned toward him.
“Meet me out front at five to
night,” he said. Matt gave a slight
nod. “Bring your gun with you,
too,” he directed.
The day passed slowly. Johnny
cleaned and oiled his gun and laid
it on the back bar. He noticed that
Rosie was in the crowd but he was
busy and ignored her.
Johnny glanced at the clock of
ten, and as the minute hand
crawled toward the hour bolstered
his gun and went outside. Matt was
coming down the street, his gun
dangling from his hand.
“We’ll stand back to back, take
five steps as I count them, turn
when I give the word, and fire.”
“Just suits me fine,” Matt re
plied.
The crowd drew back as they
moved to the middle of the street.
They stood back to back for a few
moments, and Johnny began to
count At the word they faced each
other. Johnny crouched, tense.
Matt stood erect, his eyes smiling.
They raised their guns and fired
simultaneously.
“That’s enough, Johnnie,” Matt
said. “We’re both using blank
shells. His voice showed amuse
ment.
Johnny looked at his gun and be
gan cursing. Matt walked up to him
and said softly: “Let’s go into the
back room. I’ve got something to
explain.”
Johnny followed him, somewhat
dazed.
“You’ve got me all wrong,” Matt
began when the door closed behind
them. Rosie Hall is my half sister.
You’ve been so backward in your
courting we decided to bring you
to time by making you jealous. She
loaded your gun with blanks when
you wasn’t looking. I didn’t aim to
hurt you, and had blanks in my
gun, too.”
Johnny looked his amazement.
“Then—then—” he stammered.
“Forget it. You’re still respect
able in this community. In fact, us
fellows want you to run for sheriff
next election.”
Piedmont.
Let’s consider using some ferti
lizer to boost yields. 300 to 400
pounds of 0-14-14 or 0-10-20 per
acre is recommended for early
beans. For late beans some nitro
gen should be included, so go to
a 4-12-12 or 3-9-18 analysis at
the same rate. And don’t forget
lime. Land that has not been lim
ed in the past three years should
be limed this year for soybeans.
If you can’t get the lime broad
cast before time to plant, then
put down 500 pounds per acre
in the row, just like putting down
fertilizer. Also remember to in
oculate beans to be planted on
land not already inoculated by
growing beans on it.
Keeping Chickens Cool
P. H. Gooding, our Extension
Poultry Leader, gives us some in
teresting facts about summer
management of our poultry
houses. With hot weather not far
off, let’s listen.
Extremely hot weather can be
very costly to broiler growers and
egg producers. Feed consumption
and feed efficiency decrease rap
idly with broilers during extreme
hot weather. Chickens start pant-
ting and egg production starts to
decline when the temperature ap
proaches 75 to 80 degrees and the
hotter it gets the more production
drops. Egg size decreases and the
shell texture is affected. When
the temperature reaches 95 de
grees, some method of cooling the
birds should be used. When the
temperature reaches 100 degrees,
heat prostration is likely to occur
if artificial cooling is not used.
Houses that are open to the
floor level are much cooler than
those with only the top half of
the front or side open. Brooder
houses should be constructed so
f hat the south side can be open
to the floor in warm weather af
ter the chicks are four weeks old.
Openings should also be on all
sides of the house. In laying hous
es, the south side should be op
ened to the floor. The north side
should be closed in the winter
and open in the summer.
Houses with metal roofs can be
kept several degrees cooler by
spraying the tops with whitewash.
This may be done by the use of a
barrel hand-pump sprayer. A pow
er sprayer may be used if it is
available. Lime and water should
be mixed to a thin consistency
which sprays easily. A thin coat
should be applied to the roof. If
it is too thick, it will flake off.
It has been observed by some
poultrymen that about 60 per
cent of this type whitewash stays
on the roof of the buildings from
one year to the next. The older
the roof, the better the whitewash
stays on. The spray has been used
on aluminum roofs and so far no
detrimental effects have been ob
served.
' Chickens do not perspire like
some animals, but they cool them
selves by breathing and by drink
ing cool water. An adequate
drinking space is imperative in
extremely hot weather. In hot
spells the space should be doubled
that provided for normal weather
conditions, and it should be locat
ed near the floor where it is read
ily available. Most poultrymen
keeping hens in cages supply wa
ter from a tank in the top of the i
building. This water should be
checked in hot spells to see that
the temperature does not go above
90 to 95 degrees. If it does, it is
of little value in cooling the birds.
Ice may be put in the tank to cool
the water.
Most poultry houses in South
Carolina are not constructed so
that they can be ventilated satis
factorily by the use of exhaust
fans. The most practical method
is done by reversing an exhaust
fan so that the air is blown on
the birds. In long houses the best
practice is to blow air through
the house from end to end. This
may be done by placing a 36-inch
fan, or larger, on one side of the
door or in the end of the building.
If the building is extremely long,
other fans may be p aced through
the center of the house at least
30 feet apart. The fans may be
suspended from the raftei’s at
least 6 feet above the flooNw Ob
servations indicate that this ar
rangement of fans is best but
there are other arrangements that
are satisfactory. In some cases,
fans may be enclosed and placed
on the floor. Although the fans
blow directly on the birds, no ill
effects from this method have
been observed. Several poultry-
men are using this method in S.
C. with good results. This is the
most practical method of cooling
broiler houses.
Some poultrymen sprinkle the
roof. This is probably the least
effective way of cooling houses
and is the most expensive since
a larger volume of water is used.
The water running off the roof
may be objectional too. The most
practicable way to sprinkle the
roof is with revolving sprinklers.
If there is shrubbery along the
side of the building, it should be
sprinkled along with the roof.
Wind will carry the cool moist air
off the shrubbery through the
house.
Things to Ponder;
In recent years many people
have gradually gotten away from
planting a home garden. But the
USD A Agricultural Research Ser
vice says a recent survey shows
that growing food for home use
helps families have a better diet
at less cost.
On the average farm families
produced $625.00 worth of their
food and non-farm families pro
duced $155 worth.

Oak Ridge—Atomic Energy Center
MODERN SCHOOL—Oak Ridge, Tenn.
■Peart Buck, the noted authoress, recently visited Oak Ridge, Tennessee
to absorb atmosphere for a coming book about the early days of the
Manhattan District—the wartime atomic bomb project. She commented:
“I never saw such an aggregation of interesting people and wonderful
brains in one place in my life.”
It is, of course, because of the famed bomb project that Oak Ridge
exists today as a new and modern community not only including an
“aggregation of interesting people and wonderful brains” but many
other unique features.
As recently as the summer of
1942, what is now the Oak Ridge
reservation was a rural area of
Eastern Tennessee, mostly open
country, but including three small
villages.
The Army Engineers, searching
for a site for the prime atomic
bomb installations, settled on Oak
Ridge because it was in the power-
rich TVA area, offered a favorable
labor supply and terrain suitable to
the unpredictable plant operations
planned. In those days, no one
could be certain what would take
place as nuclear experimentation
got underway.
“Boom Town”
From late 1942 through most of
1945, Oak Ridge “boomed.” In re
cent years it has undergone a re
markable transition—from a city
built expediently for a wartime
project and completely owned and
operated by federal fiat to one with
the highest percentage of home
ownership in the nation. Since the
summer of 1956, virtually all gov
ernment-built single and duplex
houses have been purchased by
residents under stipulations of Pub
lic Law 221 known locally as the
“disposal law.”
Atom Stfll King
The industry of this city of 29,000
population is still almost solely
atomic energy. However, in con
trast to 100 percent concentration
in wartime on the bomb—Oak
Ridge is now the world’s center of
peacetime atomic development and
application. The city occupies 20
square miles of the 60,000 acre Oak
Ridge Area of the AEG. Here are
located the plants, laboratory, and
office of the Atomic Energy Com
mission and the Union Carbide Nu
clear Co., contractors for the AEC;
Abbott Laboratories and munerous
wholesale, -retail and serving estab
lishments. The Oak Ridge office of
the AEC directs activities In 5 states
and Puerto Rico.
Vacation Spot
Recreation and vacation facili
ties in and around Oak Ridge are
outstanding for outdoor sports,
hunting, camping, fishing, and
boating. Many scenic and historical
points of interest and several of the
leading cities of the South are with
in easy driving distance.
Rev. Robert H. Harper
FACING THE FACTS
There is a story of a servant who
telephoned his boss saying that he
had been arrested for some misde
meanor and pleading for the boss
to come get him out of jail. When
he had heard all the circumstances,
the boss said, “Why, Jim, they
can’t put you in jail for that,” the
employer said, “They’ve done ar
rested me and got me in jail; boss,
I am in jaiL” So there are times
when men have to look facts in the
face. There is no sense in saying
that a man cannot be put in jail
for a certain offense, when he is al
ready in jail.
We may say in regard to certain
disturbing facts in our national life,
for example, or in society, that this
or that should be done and we
would find agreement from many,
but no one would listen if this or
that had already been done.
Men have been heard to say that
they cannot reconcile themselves
to this and that which God does,
according to the Bible. But what
sense would there be in declaring
your disagreement with something
God does when the Scriptures plain
ly declares that he does and when
wise men see the thing demon
strated in human life?
HASN’T ARRIVED
A pink elephant, a green rat
and a yellow snake walked into a
cocktail bar.
“You’re a little early boys” said
the bartender, "lie ain’t here yet.”
ITEM: Cut flowers can be made
to last longer by using preserva
tives now available from retail
flower shops and greenhouse supply
companies. When used at recom
mended concentrations, flowers
are not injured by the chemicals.
The preservatives have been found
particularly useful in extending
the life of cut roses and chrys
anthemums. They last two to four
times as long at room tempera
tures as they, would otherwise.
• * *
ITEM: When there’s leftover
cooked chicken and gravy, refrig
erate or freeze as soon as pos
sible. Use covered containers for
storing. Remove stuffing from
roasted whole chicken, put stuff
ing and meat in separate contain
ers and refrigerate. Use refriger
ated chicken and stuffing within
two or three days.
* • •
ITEMS: Mothers have more influ
ence on clothes their teenage
daughters buy than they may
think. It’s not true that teenagers
are influenced more by what other
teenagers wear. A study of fresh
men and senior high school girls
in a midwestern state shows it
isn’t so. The opinion of mother, or
mother and one other person, out
ranked that of girl friends, boy
frieuds, or a combination of the
two. Mother was listed as the
girl’s most frequent shopping com
panion and had more in^.uence on
large items, such as coa s than on
skirts and blouses.
From Garnet Hill, SeagovUle,
Texas: I remember well ‘the good
old days’ when we would fall out
of bed at 4:00 A.M. and feed the
livestock, eat breakfast and be in
the cotton patch before daylight.
Then we would sit and wait for
daylight to come and sometime*
even later for the dew to dry off.
To this day, I have never under
stood why we had to get to the
field so early
I also remember when It wa»
considered sin for women to
smoke cigarettes, although many
old women regularly smoked a
pipe.
Other things 1 remember aro:
When boys wore BVD’s, little
girls’ bloomers, and girl basket
ball players togged out in long
black bloomers.
When the well-dressed young
man wore a striped silk shirt and
always carried a silk handker
chief.
Getting out of the car so the
filling station man could fill the
gas tank under the seat of the old
Model T.
The ice man coming every
other day, and buying a nickeTa
worth to use in our tea.
Emptying the drain pan froas
under the ice box.
Those wonderful meals that
were served to the grain thresh
ing crew.
Election returns flashed on the
side of a building.
Tossing of turkeys off of tall
buildings mi Thanksgiving Day.
Watching the big Zeppelins pass
over on their cross country flights.
Smoking my first home grown,
home made cigar.
Traffic signals that ring a befl
when they changed.
Fond memories—but better to
be remembered than relived.
