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

6 no law-enforcement officers were

KILL ROACHES
We've always had roaches. And
there was not much..w.e. C.ould do
about them. 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."

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

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 ap- I
nroachad-ihaJime^iis.a,tragic mile.,,
post that just had to be passed.

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

school desk out in the grove to sit ~
