Thursday, February 17,1955 THE CLINTON CHRONICLE Parc Four dry summers in succession have hunt (the leepedeza crops a tat And last year the extreme drought Just about ruined it for hey, seed, and grazing. But we have faith that all sum- mens aren’t going to be dry. And when we get even a Uttfle rain along, this great crop is needed on practically every farm. Now ds the time to seed it on the grain. A good time to do it is when you tap-dress the grain, and then run a spike-tooth harrow lightly over it. That sort of ties both the seed end the fertilizer to the ground and kills a tat of tiny weeds. Irrigated Cera County Agent Wood of Pickens tells me Henry Bolding irrigated 8 acres of corn last summer and averaged 147.34 bushels per acre. He had plenty of water from a creek that runs through his land. Water’s the limiting factor. Find out first if you have it, then you can proceed. Many who thought they had it found out it wasn't half enoutfi last summer. Jfar It really takes l-wntor to tfrigate. Ponds of all sorts are betag built over the state to store soms for use when drought strikes. Storage basins are being dug and weHj ■ rrrrrrjjj j FARMS... AND FOLKS By J. M. ELEAZER CbmMB College Information Specialist rf put down in the ILowoountry. Folks are really searching for water. This was stimulated by see ing results where irrigation was used the past few veers. la It Goodbye Syrnp The Upcountfy used to have its sorghum and the Lowcoumry Its sugarcane. The cooking of syrup from these was a fall chore familiar to many a farm. But, in this changing world, this has changed too. I like sorgmun syrup and kept an eye out for it last fall Saw the remains at an old mill in the Up- country where a little had been made. Stopped to inquire. But it had aill been sold. 1 rode a lot in the Lowoountry too In fall. Didn’t see sugarcane molasses being made at a skijke spot. Even 10 years ago I’d have seen a tat of it. Farms are specializing more, tell me it doesn’t pay to make and stretching the labor out. Folks kyrup any more. It’s a tat of trou ble, and they say they can buy what they need cheaper. And that's the trend of the times. But here is another angle. We are mowing a lot of stuff we can’t oat up, and the government is having to buy a lot of it In a world of atomic bombs, jt might pay us not to get too commercial, too far from the old idea of livkg- at-home. (For we might have to do that some day. 8«y Bean Seed The fanners of Edgefield have built up quite a little business in growing Otootan soybeans for seed. But County Agent Lloyd tells me the crop was very short last year. Many of them couldn’t grow until very late rains came and then the beans were immature when frost came. likewise County Agent Cain of Calhoun tells me their yellow beans grown for crushing and seed purposes were drastically out. Many were not worth harvesting, and some were too immature to use for seed. So it looks like it will be well to start looking around for seed soy beans of the desired sort^ early. This crop has been growing enormously in quite recent years. It has been a good mechanized money crop following grain, and that rich residue it leaves on the toad is worth a lot, too. ~ ~ - Recoup Feed Sepplj Skimpy little piles of trashy nubbins of com filled amell cor ners in many a crib last fall that was usually filled to the rafters wiht fine ears. Likewise many a loft was empty that was usually stuffed with good hay for the winter. And right now those puny supplies are long gone. Our 1955 grain crop is peering in the fields. It is usually the safest feed crop we grow, safest from devas tating drought- Winter rains us- FIRST "SO” Chick Starter (It's really got startin' quality!) x Great layers begin with your chicks.

With emp ty barns, we sure do not need to stint on fertilizing this grain crop. For the yield is usually in pro portion to the fertility. Boys Are That Way Boyhood’s memories are many. Mine go back to the making of syrup in the fall. We wore a little too far up-state to grow sugar cane. So it was sorghum for us. I like ft. Still do, even better than famed sugar-cane syrup. We grew sorghum to cut and feed the stock and for hay. But the patch for syrup was of a big ger-growing sort. We thinned it out like cotton. And before the sap ever got sweet, we kids were con stantly samplndg it to see if it had. We’d peel it and chew it, like sug ar cane. ' • When old sorghum got just right it made mighty good chewing. And you could often trail us through the Stone Hills by .the cuds of pulp we spat out. Syrup making time! That called for a tat of work. We didn’t like the work. But some features of syrup making appealed to us. We didn’t kke stripping the fodder off, nor the cutting and loading of the cane. But we liked to ride on it to the mill. And we liked to feed the stalks into the rollers a while. But soon the nov elty of that wore off and we spent most of our time just messing around there, drinking the cold cane sap as it came from the press, and tasting the molasses, as it rolled hot from the pan. Next week a little more about this. Retirement Plan Passage Pressed By General Assembly Columbia — Swift passage of bills to open federal social secur ity benefits to state retirement system members was sought today in the General Assembly. Three bins to cto mis passed the Senate last Friday, and came to the House. Three identical bills went over from the House to the Senate the same day. Approximately 55,000 state, county and city employes will be affected if they approve the addi tion in an election. State employes include school teachers. State re tirement system members also in clude county and many city em ployes. Judiciery committees of House and Senate introduced the bills last week. Second readings were given Thursday by unanimous con-1 sent, and third readings Friday. Speed is sought to complete the* 90-day election notice in time fort teachers to vote before schools are i out. Federal legislation made possi ble the inclusion of state retire ment system members in social se curity. They heretofore have been barred. The state must meet cer- ain requirements, such as the elec tion, and the companion bills are designed to meet these require- *55 Ice Vogues Be In Sportonburg On Morch 8-12 ■ Spartanburg — The Ice Vogues of 1955, which comes to Memorial Auditorium here for a five-day, six-performance engagement op ening March 8, and extending through the 12 ,is all new, more lavishly costumed and moves faster than any of the previous seven annual ice reviews pro duced by the Holiday On Ice Shows, Inc. This is the verdict which has been heaped upon the 1955 show by reviewers in each of the more than a dozen cities in which per formances have been given. The Spartanburg performances are again being sponsored by the Civitan club and money' earned will be used for one of its many activities, particularly among crippled children. The seating arrangement for the auditorium has been changed from previous years to provide a total of almost 700 chair seats for each perform ance. These will occupy the en tire end section with risers af fording each patron an unob structed view of the huge floor of ice on wnich the skaters perform. The advance sale of tickets has already started througn the Mem orial Auditorium box office. Tickets may be purchased by mail. Twenty-eight great acts are in cluded on this year’s program. ’ These are well balnaced between the highly colorful production numbers, comedy, thrills and ac robatics. Outstanding production num bers include the Cotton Ball, a Southern sequence which is at tracting wide attention; spectac ular underseas wonderland in which the colorful lighting gains its maximum effect, and Spring time in Japan.
