A Big Grape Trip Friday.
All furmors intorostod In growing
grapes tor market; eltlior on a small
cr largo scale, should arrango to at
tend the "Grape Day" mooting at
Clemson College Friday, Aug. ll.
Before tho cotton season ls over
many farmers will be thinking of
some other side-line money crops to
help out with cotton, and many
should And that grape production
will flt in weil with their farm op
erations.
The extension horticulturists aro
now visiting the commercial grape
vineyards around Trlon, N. C., get
ting information from experienced
growers that will t?o givon those who
attend tho meeting at Clemson. A
number of farmers from Plckens,
Greenville nnd Anderson will also
bo present at Clemson for the trip
through tho vineyards and the moot
ing.
In Oconeo county there are now
several who aro shipping grapes lo
market, tho Hopkins vineyard, near
Seneca, being tho largest, with Cal
houn Boggs, of this section, and Bar
nett and Cox, of tho Oak Grovo sec
tion, also tho owners of nico vine
yards.
Tho most wonderful small, vine
yard ever seen by tho writer is to bo
found at tho Oconeo coun'.y farm,
which is operated by \V. lt. Cobb.
Grapes of perfect quality simply cov
ered tho vines. Then there ls the
old vineyard, gcnorally called "The
Dutchman's Vineyard," which ls to
bo found on West Main street, in
Walhalla.
Figures obtained from several
vineyards during tho past few years
by tho horticulturists indicate an
average profit per acre of about two
hundred dollars. This, of course,
would be less where rot ls allowed
to gain headway. In 1019 ono party
reported a profit tof $109.00 on one
half aero.
A large number of people should
profit by the trip Friday. Every one
is invited.
Weevils Active in Places.
One field examined for boll weevil
aoltvity in the Oakway section last
to
Wednesday showed an average of
20 pw cent squaro infestation. An
other Hold belonging to; tho same
no r.. A. '\ and l'. A. Marti.), aver
aged 10 per cent.
.Vt Pondi Union '.'wa of tho ^lenvi
hst Holds of Hie season were exam
ined; Ono held, belonging io W. r.
Casey, examined at four corners,
showed tho following percentages:
36 per cent,'1 1 per cent, 9 per cent
and 2 1 per cent, thus giving an aver
age of 19 per cent. Both of theso
men aro using dusters, applying cal
cium arsenate. Mr. Martin had not
used tho machine previously, while
Mr. Casey had put on two dustings,
being interrupted by rains. They are
both applying tho first three dust
ings according to schedule now.
M. W. Gibson, of the South- Union
section, had the heaviest infestation
of any so far examined. The field
examined showed punctured squares
as follows: 58 per cent, 27 por cent
?nd 2 8 por cent, In tho three placse
examined. He is plcknig squnrse.
In tho Townvlllo Bectlon four In
festation counts wore made in the
fields of W. O. Prater, with those re
sults: 8 per cent and 9 per cent In
a field previously dusted, which had
shown tho most early In the season.
In another field 26 per cont and 12
por cent wero found. This latter field
ho intended to start dusting tho fol
lowing night. Ills crop looks unusu
ally good, but lt ls always early to
make predictions until cotton weigh
ing timo in any field.
W. N. Woolbrlght, of tho same
section, had 18 per cent Infestation
In tho only placo where a count was
made.
Persons who aro dusting should
always moko infestation counts BE
IFORE starting poisoning, and thou
again a wook AFTER tho firsl titree
dustings havo been put on. To start
without making tho slmplo counts,
examining 100 squares in each cor
ner and center of field, simply moans
that you do not KNOW where you
aro, and you aro waging a hlt-or
miss gamo without knowing what
you aro doing. In this count only
squares aro examined, nothing after
tho bloom sheds being examined. A
square that has been damaged either
by a foedlng or egg puncture (is
counted. All squares on a stalk ore
examined, and other stalks in the
Kamo section, until the 100 squares
havo hoon cxnminod, then tho punc
tured squares, which havo boon
placed in a pockot, aro dra,wn out
'and countod, thus showing tho per
centage. *
Somo aro now giving up tho fight
In squar'o-plcking and cultivation,
and theso cnn count on failure to
produce a profltablo crop. Cultiva
tion Bhould stop, however, when tho
cotton begins lapping in tho mid
dles. Tho fight should never stop.
Sow Hur Clover Now.
Bur clover, a soil builder of dis
tinction in Nowberry county, and
scattered over tho Piedmont section,
should bo sown now In caso il has
not already been sown. It is differ
ent from tho other clovors in that
lt ls practically always sown in tho
bur, sown earlier lu tho season, and
requires much more seo'd to make a
etnrt than other clovers. It reseeds
Itsolf whenever allowed to make seed
In the spring, theso seed lying around
and coming up thick enough in tho
fall for a good stand, usually.
It is best to start with a small
place for a seed patch, usually on
good soil, or by mixing manure with
the seeds, using at least six bushels
of seed to the acre. These seed may
bo bought from farmers listed in tho
"Weokly Market Bulletin," published
(and distributed free from Columbia,
or from advertisements appearing In
your local paper, your farm paper,
otc. No inoculation is needed if tho
seed are bought In the bur, as tho
burs always carry soil sufficient to
inoculate.
Watch the Soys Grow.
C. W. Baunkight, of Walhalla, who
likes as much as any one In the coun
ty to soo good forngo crops grow,
and grows them on his farms, now
has as fine a crop of soy beans as any
ono In the .county, perhaps.
Between corn rows, with a few
plants In tho row with tljo corn, they
make a solid mass about four foot
high, the fine, slender, droopitlg
vines of the Otoo-tan reaching up
and bringing down tho precious ni
trogen of tho atmosphere, and they
form a picture hard to duplicate.
This variety is bettor suited for hay
purposes than others, having slen
der branches, which do not tangle
like peas, and of vigorous growth.
The Biloxl variety is also planted,
this variety being more Uko the
.Mammoth Yellow, being upright in
growth, of heavier stem and shorter
branches, with moro seed, which is
produced in a manner easy to gather
with a soy boan harvester, lt has
tho advantage of holding seed better
than tho Mammoth Yellow, accord
ing to Mr. Bnuknlght.
This method of planting the corn
about G to 7 feet between rows
and spacing it thicker in tho rows,
having a row of soys down the mid
dle, producta a good crop of corn as
well aa soya, according to Mr. Bali lc-,
night' and is a method which should
iii: .n universal practico,
W. T. Hubbard, on tho Seneca
Richland road, and Jas. H. Darby, on
tho Walhalla-Seneca road, have soy
beans planted along the roadside
which may bo observed by all who
pass. Some of the farmers who were
observed hauling hay last week lo
foed mules to make cotton to feed
weevils should pay moro attention to
all kinds of forngo crops, both sum
mer and winter, and their bank ac
counts would be larger.
