Plan Now
Planting time for most things
is just ahead. With Iras cotton,
our diversification can be ex-
peeied to move forward
faster this year.
Spartanburg is and has been
specially active in this field.
Once it was all cotton ther£.
When the boll weevil came the
county agent took a group of
farmers to Georgia to look into
the peach business. Five of those
each planted five acres of peach
es. From that grew the greatest
fresh-peaoh-shipping area on
earth.

So if then was peaches and cot
ton. But after a bumper crop or
so with low prices and a fefcr
late freezes they saw the need
for further diversification. And
they have tried a number of
things. Last fall I rode with
County Agent Martin and saw
late tomatoes everywhere we
turned. Also saw late cantaloupes
and watermelons. And a goodly
scattering of pimiento peppers.
Martin said these peppers looked
specially good as a cash crop
there. I saw smbll acreages of
grapes, being tried out for a
possible wine industry. And
grass as a crop graces many an
acre there, with all that it im
plies
Other counties are felling out
new things, too. They are apply
ing what is known about what
they are trying to do. Then trial
and error will supply the bal
ance And in a few years some of
these new things will likely be
gin to stick.
Change
A hundred years ago the per
capita wealth in South Carolina
was far above that of any north
ern state. But war took it away.
And, as a conquered province,
we groveled around in the very
ashes that Sherman left for a
half century. At long last, a lit
tle life ebbed back into our dead
economic carcass and we began
to stir again. Industry started
growing in our midst, and cot
ton’s eroded acres began coming
forth with tree and sod.
Of late that growth has been
phenolnenal. Cotton’s yield has
about doubled, diversification
has grown, and industry dots the
land, giving good employment to
many. And now that old com
plex of t]ie ugly duckling grows
vague here. With soil and clim
ate richly endowed, this whole
Southeast is beginning to stir.
And that inferiority complex
that* cruel circumstances forced
upon us is beginning to leave.
Our leaders in industry, agricul-

Climbing
• • •
Here’s a real problem in climbing. Actual
ly, telephone poles must still be the same
height, but today you can buy only about
two-fifths of an average size pole for the
price of one 15 years ago. So every time
we replace an old pole or add a new one
we have to spend more than twice as much
as in 1939. *
This is just one example of what climb
ing costs have done to the telephone busi
ness. The cost of Furnishing telephone
service has increased more than the price
we get for it. And prices of almost all other
comm6dities have gone up much more.
Southern Bell wants telephone service
to be as good and as low priced as pos
sible. At the same time we hope you will
understand what inflation has. done to us.

We believe you are willing for us to earn
a fair profit.

Who Was Crasy?
Once a farmer took a wagon
of watermelons to Columbia and
couldn’t sell ’em. So be decided
to give ’em to the State Hospital.
They assigned an able-bodied
and harmless innjltte to help him
unload them. To start conversa
tion, the- faimer asked the in
mate if he had ever farmed. To
tfriT he answered he H4d. Then
the inmate asked the farmer if
he had ever been in the asylum,
to which the farmer said no.
Then the inmate said, “It beats
farming by a helluva lot.”
And, talking about watermel
ons, you remember that new one
I was telling you about last sum
mer and fall It was simply
known as 51-27. 'niat’s the num
ber it carried in the breeding ex
periments carried on at the Sta
tion near Charleston. I under
stand it is being increased this
year and will be named and re
leased next year. I sow a very
late field of it in Chesterfield
last fall. I asked County Agent
Willis w>hat they thought of it.
He said, “Simply wonderful.”
At two of our experiment sta
tions, everyone picked it out at
blind cuttings. It is a long gray
melon, very uniform in shape,
prolific, with thin tough rind, of
high quality, And considerable
disease resistance.
Dry
Last summer I came through
our great Southwest. It was as
dry as the average speaker from!
Washington.
And folks, dry desolation is >
just about the most frightful
thing that afflicts this earth. For
water is life. Take it away, and .
little remains.
Boys Are That Way
They have torn down the old
coal chutes at Slighs and Hodges.
The fire-eating, cinder-scatter
ing, steam-belching coal burners
of my later boyhood got their
fuel there. We lived in the Stone
Hills between the C. N. & L. and
Southern railways. The former
was nearest us. And I can well
remember when I had never i
seen a Southern train, only heard (
their whistles echoing through [
the hills when the air was right.
But the old C. N. & L , I came
up with it.
It was a wood burner until I
was almost grown. Then they
built the coal chute at Slighs be-
twi.n those at its terminals, Co-
c:v! v ,ia and Laurens.
But before the C. N. & L. went
modern, I saw some coal at Lau
rens once, a lump tha’t had fallen
off^ C. & W’ C. engine there by
the station. My daddy was the
country doctor and they let "hie
nde on passes when I was quite,
small. To Laurens was my long
est trip. I put that piece of shiny
coal in my pocket and brought
it home. We kept it as curio for
a long time 'in the tray on the
spool whatnot in the comer of
the parlor with the stereopticon.
Folks would walk the tracks
out between White Rock and
Hilton, picking up lumps of that
coal for their forges. Up to then
we had always used charcoal
that we burned once a year in
a kiln down in the pasture. This
nqw coal got a lot hotter, we
though, burned better, and last
ed longer. But it nad one defect
we had to master. It would form
a dross or clinker in the furnace
after a white. And you couldn’t
weld anything if, any of that got
in your fire. It would stick to the
hot metal and prevent a weld.
But we eventually learned to
fish that out with a poker and
then your fire would be clean
for a while and that fused dross
did not bother.
We live in a world of change.
And the old <?6al chutes that were
new in my early days have gone
from the wayside now. Smoother
oil-burning diesels now move in
majesty along thqse same rails
where the old power-packed coal
burner snorted and jerked its
great loads of commerce along
on a now distant day. I sort of
hated to see ’em go.-
