It Pays
Diversification has proved its case
again in our fields this year!
We started out with a very heavy
! boll weevil carry-over, following a
; very mild winter. We knew that
from the beginning and fought;
! them. Results were good, and we,
just about had a good cotton crop!
in the bag But. following some rath
er unusual weather conditions, we
had a very hot week. It did some
thing to the bolls we had saved from
i the weevil. And at opening time,,
many of them did not open. They 1
' rotted. The unseasonable hot week '
at midseason caused them to scald i
land crack at the seams. Subsequent 1
rains made it favorable for boll rots'
; to develop. And what had looked i
i like a good crop turned out to be
right much of a disaster.
But those same conditions that
were bad for cotton were good for
grass and corn. And the farmer who
. had turned some of his acres to
I grass and who had taken care of his
j corn is able to cash in on the vari
ous forms of livestock and livestock
and poultry products that these abun
dant feeds mean.
I So there again we have a practical
demonstratibn of the full meaning
I of this thing we call Diversification.
The all-cotton farmer will remember |
1949 as a year he'd like to forget.
The man with cotton and some grass
and corn, and the livestock that go
with those things, will remember it
: as a year in which cotton failed him.
! but his grass and corn and livestock
held him up-
••Diversification’’*
That word has been misunderstood
! by many
We know that this is an age of
specialization. In fact, a farmer has
| to be a pretty good specialist with a
'thing, if he hopes to make anything
out of it. And some have interpreted
that to mean "stay with one thing**. I
But look at our cotton this year and
e what one crop can do for you.
Butter, Apples To
Be Donated For
School Lunch Program
Special to The Chronicle.
Columbia, Nov. 9.—Schools in
Laurens county will receive ship-1
ments of butter soon to use in con-
! nection with the school lunch pro-
i gram, according to Courtenay Bate-
man, director of the commodity dis-
, tribution division of the South Caro
lina State Department of Education.
The number of eases of butter to
j be alloted to each county will be
based on the number of school chil
dren participating in the school lunch
program in the county. Laurens
county will receive 82 cases of but
ter. Each case contains 32-one pound
prints of real creamery butter. The
butter is made available to the com
modity distribution division by the
United States Department of Agri
culture. Director Bateman also an
nounced that shipments of apples are
available to the schools of Laurens
county, for use in the school lunch

program. The county will be ship- the department of agriculture from
ped as large a supply of apples as Virginia, New Jersey, and New York,
desired from now until February, he and are shipped in boxes, bushel
stated. The apples are supplied by \ baskets and Virginia hampers.
Diversification means not just a
little bit of everything either But it
means at least more than one ordin
arily dependable money crop. And
m most instance it calU for both a
crop and a livestock income And
the ones best suited to a particular
farm, its »e!-up. and its market out
lets are ine right ones. County agents
can help folks arrive at that.
New Land
Ju** before he left for the amy ’
:>a, k in 1943. County Agent Shel
ley o! Barnwell was asked by a local
farmer what to do with a thin san
dy field he had.
Shelley looked the field over care
fully and just couldn't see any pros
pect for a profitable crop there un
less the land was improved in some
way. He suggested crotalana.
The mart got enough seed to plant
half of it. It made fair growth And
since then has been farmed con
tinuously. The crotalaria comes up
there in the grain stubble and makes
a good cover crop. And when cotton
or corn go there in the rotation, it
volunteers in them too, and makes
a rich cover to turn in.
It so happened that crotalaria was
never put in the balance of that field.
Otherwise, it has been handled just
alike all along.
Yes, seeded once, this great soil
builder usually continues to come.
And it hurts nothing there on the
land except summer hay. It just
, keeps coming up and you kill it along
with grass and weeds with cultiva
tion until lay-by time. Then it comes
on and makes you a good soil build
er after the planted crop there is
I largely made.
Winter hay crops can be grown all
right on crotalaria land, but not sum
mer ones.
Lupines too are improving a lot of
land .n the extreme southern part of
the Jate, where they are adopted,
iea.h winter.
Boys Are That Way
Weatherbeaten picnic tables in
the grove by country churches—how
I like to see ’em!
Saw one the other day down in
Bamberg county that they had erec
ted a neat metal-covered shed over.
They are not going to let a shower
ruin one of their great festivals. We
always feared the shower at home.
But I don’t recall but once the lad
ies and all had to grab pies, and
cakes, and platters of fried chicken,
country ham, and the like and run
in the church. •
We kids showed off in two ways at
the picnics in the Stone Hills. They
corailed us and taught us little
1 speeches and group songs. They were
] called “Children Days”, and we
showed off before the admiring
and “kinnery”.
And then we showed off again out
there at that bountiful table at about
! one o’clock. We were used to having
'dinner at noon, and that extra hour
just served to further whet our ap
petites. And as soon as the blessing
was asked, we waded in. As I got
larger and was not too timid, I gaz
ed from one end of that long table to
the other. I specially liked “stickiels",
a superb little concoction for which
each Dutch Fork woman has her own
recipe. I liked ’em all. and ate my
fill mostly of “stickies”.
