Rice growing above Columbia ]>ersi*:.-; here and there io an extent not .generally known. Time was when many Piedmont farmers grew all the rice they needed for the home table and for their laborers. A center of upland rice cultivation was Pendleton, nerh:.ps because in and.about that village resided in summer many rice planters of the low country; and the world's record yield of rice to the acre is probably still held, some maintain, by Anderson county. Newberry county, upper Lexington and parts of upper Richland are now the principal seats ?>f riee culture north of the f.>11 line. i' Noting in the Newberry Observer recently a paragraph recording that some 200 pounds of home grown rice ' 1 ? ^ : r ... K ? t fiS:t Deer. Sioreti .01 Ui?: wiiui'i o William Folk, M. D.?physician, plan- ; te:- and former legislator?residing near Jalapa, The State requested of ' Dr. Folk some particulars of his ex- ' perience with the jrop. Dr. Folk not only wrote in a reply a characteristic droll account of his rice growing, but also sent sencrous samoles of his ' rice, both in the e.\r and milled. His r.'ca is of excellent quality and more ( flavorful than the polished rice of ' r> r* n? m cs?p(* Dr. Fo;k, born at Pomaria, attend- < ed WofTord college, received his pro- ' fes.-ional training1 at Charleston Med ical college and was for 25 years act1 ing assistant surgeon in the United States marine hospital service, with j station at Georgetown, where he be- i came familiar with rice planting processes. He moved bach to Newberry county in 1908 and in 1D3 9-20 was a* membei of the house of representa-. rives. At 70 he is enthusiastic as ever and is a tireless experimentor with promising plants and farm methods. : Dr. Folk on Rice ^Growing Dr. Folk writes The State in part j .15 follows: "Born in Newberry county, I spent | 2"> years in Georgetown, amulet the J rice cultivation on North Santee. j where the Lowndes, Manigault, Hazard, Doar, Reed, Johnstone, Alston,! and Lucas families, with many others grew rice for market and heme consumption. Healthier men, women and children never lived than these, who had rice for dinner daily, "I learned there that rice couM be grown to better advantage, at less expense and with greater profit in upper South Carolina than in Georgeiri tVlP llTlfnunti'V COY tian expenses, aggregating $20 to $30 the acre which were inseparable from the low-country cultivation, would not be incurred. These expenses included maintenance of banks, ditches and flood gates and the minding of the rice at certain seasons against blackbirds by day and ducks by night. Xo such protection is required here in Newberry or anywhere in upper Carolina and the rice flourishes even in Greenville or Oconee. "There are both upland and water flowed varieties. Upland rice, i-i my opinion, can be grown profitably on every farm where there is constant moisture: near a branch, creeK or river, suitable plots can be found which are too wet for corn, boggy up dorfoot, where rushes grow, with "" rinrand willows. Thoroughly plow <>> dig with the'hoe and pulverize without a sod. Lay oft. March 10 to April 10. rows 19 inches wide and one-, fourth inch m cp.
