That was one of the first counties to take to commercial hogs back in the Late twenties and they have never falter ed During April, when hogs are usually at low ebb in this part of the country. County Agent Epps report ed. ‘Assisted 198 farmers in mar keting 1560 hogs for $46 142 23 “ . t* * * t ALFALFA WEEVIL A new insect, the alfalfa weevil, hit this state three years ago Now it is in all areas And it’s really messing the crop up County Agent Busby of Newberry, says: “The al falfa weevil has reduced the acre age of alfalfa in the county by more than t\glf in just three years." Coun ty Agent Martin of Spartanburg, re ports "very good" results where an intensive spray schedule was car ried out. This insect appears early in the Season .often ruins the first cutting, and then continues to kill out the stand Up to this year we had an ef fective one shot treatment, heptha- chlor. that would control this insect, our Carl Nettles tells me. But it was barred, w here "the hay was to be fed to dairy cattle, as most of it is. And Malathion was the next best bet. But it required several ap plications, which many farmers did not get on fo^. one reason or an other And damage was great. Con trols are being w-orked on and your county agent will have the latest dope by time for it next spring • • • BOYS ARE THAT WAY Our nighbor across the road had the only apricot tree I ever saw in the Stone Hills of the Dutch Fork It was a large tree and bore heavily That was before diseases and in sects came that made it all but im possible to grow this fruit here. They were very generous with them, and we all had apricots to eat in season We not only ate them, but we saved ever seed, dried it, and ate the meat out of it. too. As I re call, they were just as good as al monds. which, of course, we didn’t have. W’e never let a seed waste. Even those that got over-ripe and H— dropped we'd salvage the seed* from We kept moat of those seed for , winter use much as we do pecan* ; now A few chinqueyins grew in the general area, but not in our range. The boys across the creek harvested them and stored them, too. for win ter. when the pickings got light One family near home there had what they called a winter apple. I now think it was of the Yates variety They’d harvest them before heavy frost and store them on the ground under straw in the cellar. W r e prized all three of these things highly, apricot seed, chinquepins, and apples. W’e carried our dinner to school in a bucket. Each would usually con tain a few of these treasures. Nat urally we liked best the ones we didn’t have So there was much swapping at dinner time And there was room for arguing and bargain mg between those three product* Hm- greatest demand was for those apples, whose aroma was just over- Tbanitfay. September H. I HO powering But those children ate them at home and were not os eager for them as we So the uprfMt of it was, they usually had apricot seed or chinquepins to eat after their dinner and we had apples YARBOROUGH STUDIO and CAMERA SHOP Corner Musjfrove and Pitts St. Cameras — Films — Photo Finishing By I.
