FARMS AND FOLKS By J. M. Eleazer Clemson Ext. Info. Specialist Pageland Market It was watermelons galore when I was at Pageland with County Agent Willis the last of July. For some years that has been growing into a melon market ing center, and the thing was just all over town. 'But a for ward step has been taken by the local folks in cooperation with Jimmie Youngblood of the State Marketing Commis sion and Tom Cole of the Clemson Extension Division of Markets. They have built a large concrete and steel shed. Wlhen I was there 47 truck- loads of melons occupied every bit of the space under it and 27 more awaited their turn out side. And there were 19 enor mous trailer outfits there from the far places that would take every melon on the yard to fill by the time they pulled out that night. They had thought of having an auction market at first. But Mayor J. L. Sutton, who has been very active in fostering this market, told me that the farmers preferred trying an in dividual sales arrangement first and it seemed to be working pretty v-ell. The buyers circulate among the trucks and figure with each grower. Every now and then you will see a truck pull out from under the shed and go over to one of the big trailers and start unloading. Another waiting truckload immediately takes its place under the shed. Built principally for water melons, one can readily see this large marketing facility grow ing into a general produce sell ing center. I saw several far mers with bushel baskets of tomatoes in addition to the ^ melons they brought. And the! tomatoes seemed to be selling' readily; And there were many cantaloupes there too. Some of the trucks practically loaded with watermelons. Then they put a layer of cantaloupes and tomatoes on top. This was specially true of the trailers going south. “Local interest built this market,” said County Agent Jake Willis, “And these inter ested folks made use of all the help they could get.” There are two ways of holding a woman's hand—one of course is in love; the other is in self-defense. LITTLE ITEMS OF INTEREST ABOUT FOLKS YOU KNOW Spartanburg ,Corn The way the corn looked when I was with County Agent Martin in Spartanburg in late July, they should have a goodly number of farmers to join the 100 Bushel Club this fall. On high red land back of his peach packing shed, Frank Bush has one of the finest fields of corn I had ever seen, seven and a half acres of it. “I worked this corn mostly be fore it was planted,” said Mr. Bush. It was subsoiled, har rowed twice and then had the cultipacker run over it before it was planted. It only had three furrows of cultivation. And this adds up to only 4 man-hours of work per acre! He figures that 20 bushels of corn at present prices will pay all costs, including fertilizfer and rent on land. The corn was about made when I was there. One more good rain would finish it. And then MPr. Bush would have no trouble qualifying for the 100 bushel club this fall, was my guess. That “New Look” is show ing up in many corn fields in (Continued on Back Page) WITH THE SICK IN HOSPITAL Mrs. Frances Adams, Chap pells. Mrs. P. E. Bowers, Silver- street. Mlrs. V. L.

VFW And Legion To Assist Vets Commander J. C. Gilmer, Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 5968, and Commander A. P. Parrott, American Legion Post 24, announced today that both organizations would provide assistance to all Newberry County veterans next Monday and Tuesday in filling out ap plications for insurance refunds. Both veterans organizations will have representatives in the courtroom of the county court house all day August 29 and August 30 with sufficient ap plication blanks for each appli cant. The refund will be mailed to each veteran who is entitled to receive a part of his GI insur ance payments back. But no payments will be made unless an application is received from the veteran. The dividend application con tains eight separate questions and the space for answers is limited. It is suggested that only typewritten applications can be processed quickly and therefore, the offer of the VFW and Legion to perform this ser vice is of great help to local veterans. Both organizations have worked hard to expedite the payments by the veterans ad ministration. It is estimated now that actual payments will start being made in January and be completed by spring of next year. It is further es timated that the average re fund will be about $125 per veteran, depending on the length of time his GI insur ance was in effect, the amount, and the size of the premium.
