Chick, Sr. >w toy Thank God For the United States of America """ In no way is the priciple o f freedom of thought, of conscience, Em and action and the spirit of indivibe, dualism demonstrated better i n o* the United States than during a ' political election. Truly such a o?-Jtime is high proof that we the to'People in the United States feel bu- | that it is a God given right, duty, rO" as well as a privilege for the Peoco pie to have a voice in determining for who should run their public busied* ijj^ss in such grave and importantr der matters as telling them what they i uIt 4-may orMiny not do, informing I them of the minimum age at tho which their children may quit e*7 school and get a job; and above all the i n handling their hard-earned lian cash. It is no secret that in various t types of fees and taxes governments, state, local, state and national, handle a large amount of _ the public's money. Collecting and spending honestly and wisely such a large sum of money require a I hility and integrity on-the part of I 1 ' ?' t vuujc cuuusicu iu a o sucn. in .. jbrief, the People must always retheir government. has more powniember and never forget that er over them and things vital to them than any other source of .human power. Thus, it is a right and a t duty- as well as a privilege that ,m* the People have a voice in determining to whom so vast a varied powers be granted. A large number of municipalities in the United States recently "'l* held political elections, electing ra* the City Fathers, electing those to EQ laws, etc This writer does not recall reading in the newspaper or hearing over the radios of any ir4 regularities in the foregoing elect'je" ions. No individual or group endeavored to intcrfer with any nK other individual's casting his vote; 6 no law-enforcement officers were needed at t.he places of voting nor eri at the places of counting the vot!>y es. Each candidate for public office had an opportunity to appear be- ' ial fore the public stating what he' M A "u | would, do, if elected. When the ely | People made their votes, those :ed , who lost took their defeat in keepI with the American Way of Lifc^ ( they bowed to the will of the Peoes*Jple. When this writer voted hfc 2r" J noticed several people near the nsj place voting, chch working in the j ?r interest of some particular candi- | 4 date. In the meantime, they were 3. chatting friendly with each other. Again this writer says "Thank ay God for the United States of Aith merica." Such privileges of voting siJ as we have. here in the United >'d States are denied a large number 12- of people throughout the world, ir. Every American citizen, so to or speak, should climb the highest nt peak near him and there lift Iris voice as high as he can in singing ly thanks for the principles of freest. dom which is ours. It is not the~ contentions of this writer that the 11- United States hasrerehed the U^ rg." topian stage of development in' its r- social order. But it is his conteno tion that every since we have been at | in independent country we tiavi in been making progress toWhrd as that stage. Farms and Folks ! i i i < . T*y J. M.

There were remedies, but they were only partially effective. In late years though, science has | developed very effective roach poisons. In fact, their proper use usually amounts to extermination. Our extehslAH MUinUlUtflUl'-U. uf- ^ fice has organized a roaoh hilling'^ campaign in all counties of the sfate through the county and home agents. The ^>tate Agricultural Committee and State Council of * Farm Women have put the weight ' of their organizations behind it, ' and the cooperation of all agencies ; ( and croups is sought in making 't ( I effective. The poisons i sed are Chlotdane. ! Lindane, and Qietdrin.~Full details 1 for their effective use can be gotton from your county or home a- 1 -gm^--And, incidentally, these. m?.- Jj terials will get household ants too, * and any other sort of insect that ' might be where they are put. For several yenrs we have used ( one of these materials in our ' -houses and gotten oomploto control of ants and roaches. Last spring a similar campaign ' was waged against flies with re- 1 mailable results. If you've forgot-. J ten jut-t what that?was, and if | flies come back, your county and 1 horno agents" have the remedy fur 1 them too. ' -J IRRIGATION ON CORN * 1 I Out of the many farmers in the ' | corn contest last year, 34 made I 100 bushels or more per acre. 1 Out of the many farmers_in it,_ . only a few irrigated. Yet 15 of these were among the 34 who made the coveted 100-bus.hel club. I 1 don't at, present know of one irri- ' gated who .didn't make it, but there 1 might be one or so. Here and there a fellow happened to get a criti- ' cal shower or two that put him across the 100 mark. All tried 1 hard. But it was only where the crop got the necesary water that it really made. That's the insnmfve irricoifinn ' holds. You can plan and plant for 1 a big yield. Then if the'needed rain does not come, you can add the water with irrigation. That is, pro . vided you have the water. And, folks, you had better find out about that first. At Clemson last year irrigated corn made 01 bushels per acre. That not irrigated right by it made absolutely nothing, just popped a cap completely." 1 SUWANEE BERMUDA GRASS This promising Suwanee Bermuda grass was produced by the same Dr. Glenn Burton, down at the Tifton Experiment Station, who produced Coastal Bermuda. Our:Experiment Station at Pontiac got some of the runners from Dr. ; Burton last year and produced a ( j certified seed patch of it. ^ This spring deinonstratiofv-ydaaUings from this area being made on at least one farm in every county^ in the state. County agents will likely be arranging tours to see j that later, as well as to see some of ,the many plantings of Coastal , | that have been made t.he past few . 1 years. Our Hugh Woodle says Suwanee will make more growth, on lighter lands. But it will not stand at close grazing. Both are good for hay, and respond to heavy fertilization' j specially nitrogen. ~ f 1 Many who have observed these i j two new strains of Bermuda grass k feel they will prove to be the basic ! . n grasses in our growing livestock business. We will sec others too, but they, alonfj with the old common Bermuda wc already r have, will be the main ones for our long warm-weather season. Use them < properly all summer and then the,, fescue, ladino clover, etc.' can ] build up the vigor with which to serve us best the rest of the year, ( along with grain mixtures. J , grazing picture looks at present. Our poultry man, P, H. Gooding, j tells me up in Maryland they have > produced broilers at the rate of a puunU of biuilei for. L04. paunds a of feed. And he points out that f this is the most efficient use of 1 ~Y~ \ V THE PALM: 'eed that animal makes. Of course / hat is high class feed. d He points out, if this keeps up, d * lot?of folks who have to eat ra- J ther low on the hog and cow will f M)on he eating high on the chick- a ;n. * f * 1; BOYS ARE THAT WAY Boys of today don't -have to go u through that ordeal of changing v from short pants to a long ones I out there at the gawky age about the same time the fuzz of whisk- i ers come on the face. . , d I remember, as a kid, dreading t that. The reason was, many of the c old folks would tease you. And boys of the back country were ti- c mid then, and teasing was rough. J I always dreaded teasing anyway, t Had two older* cousins that teased A a lot, and I avoided them all IJ ? could along. . Y But that critical time eventually "" came with me at about 15 pt_l(v when my lower extremities had to S be draped with long pants.

I can see it now, a f loud plaid pray. I was utterly mis- i< ?fftble the first few times I put it )n, and shunned all the folks I b :ould. Mike, one of the teasing h ousins, said I was all "skin and tl egs." After that he always called nc "Skin," and I was never known is anything-else to him. Fortunately, the embarrassment soon wore off and I was natural in ong pants. Thaf summer I wore liallentine. They had taken the old school desk out in the grove to sit ~ >n during the speaking. I sat on :he back of one, as a large man sat ?n the seat and held ifcydown. Af:cr about an hour he got up when [ wasn't noticing. It toppled back nid I jumped.
