Morgen of Oconee: "Highest cot*
ton yield in the history of the coun
ty. And com too is exceptionally
good, with 13 farmers in the con
test making over 100 bushels per
•ere,”
Martin of Spartanburg: "Good
yields of cotton, com and pimien-
to peppers. Fall truck disappoint
ing in price. And the peach dis
aster was a terrible blow”.
Cochran of Union: "Best cotton
crop in years and excellent yields
of sweet potatoes and gran sor
ghum.”
Miller of York: “It turned out a
record cotton yield.”
McCarley of Kershaw: "Fartners
were very much pleased with
Coastal Bermuda. Look for heavy
plantings of it the coming spring.”
Ezell of Newiberry: "Cattle will
be grazed in sweet sorghum fields
during the winter months.’*•
Lynn <jf Fairfield: "A record
yield of sweet potatoes was made
and all curing houses were filled.”
Hopkins of Anderson: "Weather
conditions were ideal for the boun
tiful harvest. Cotton, corn and
feedstufts were all good, as were
minor crops like aromath* tobacco
and pimiento peppers.” ' *
Berly of Richland: “Despite good
yields, prices were discouraging
for the producer. Some are making
up the deficit with timber sales,
most of which are unbusinesslike
'transactions.”
- Rogers of Allendale: “A large
part of the bumper corn crop was
gathered with combines.” •, —^

A Few
'Every home should try to have
some of these around it; scupper-
nong vines, fig bushes and pecan
trees. All are easy to grow and re
markably free of insect and dis
ease enemies. Now* is the time to
plant ’em.
Scuppernongs fh well to a trel
lis along a ditch-bank or a row
through the garden. They make a
suitable scene for the woodpile or
outbuildings too. And they seldom
fail a crop.
Fig business fit well into a chim
ney or fence corner. Partial pro
tection from extremes of cold is
good for them. Rough winters will
occasionally kill them back a bit.
But they usually come out again.
And pecan trees make a sturdy,
strong and beautiful shade tree in*
addition to its valued crop of nuts
They should have plenty of room
for making symmetrical top
growth and heaviest crops of nu.s.
Commercial plantings should .be'
75 to 100 feet apart, or stagg’ered
in slightly narrower rows. But
around the house, dotted herd and
there, like out back by^ the wood-
pile, by the smokehouse, and down
ay the barnyard makes good plac-
in the rugged hills that no one
would pick as a place to grow line
trefck. Bot that Walter Rawl'is no
ordinary man. In addition to a
large cannery and extensive’ plant
business, he is- constantly coming
up wth something new there in the
sandhills where a less ingenious
and industrious person would find
the going rough. (
Boys Are That Way
I liked to go with the women
folks to hunt broom straw in the
fall: Not that I liked to cut it. v But
I liked the romp across hills and
vales it brought.
Gathering a year's supply of
broom straw was a chore no fam
ily overlooked. For with it we
made the only brooms we knew.
The beat straw usually grew in
bid fields that had been turned
out about two or three years be
came first. And it sure made fine
fore. Usually the dewberry vines
ones, until the straw thickened
and drove them out in a few years.
< We’d examine a number of old
strawfields like that. And where
we found the tallest and best traw
we’d tart operating and cut sev
eral large bundles. .These were
tied securely and toted home on
our backs. .
It was good to cut it about'the
time the blooms were shedding.
But there’d still ^je a lot of the
downy blooms on it. To get rid of
most of, these, we’d sun the bun
dles a few days and shbke them
good. The blooms would leave the
straw like feathers in .the breeze.
Then we stored it In the corner
of the smokehouse. As brooms
were needed along, we’d get about
as much of it as you could hold be-
twbep.<both hands and clean it by
from the area, they usually, do weh
there. The main thipg is to protect
and water them for the first few
years, if needed, until they can
take over for themselves. ‘
If you need further details, ask
your county agent or ag teacher.
Collards Galore
That ingenious Dutchman, Wal
ter Rawl, of Lexington has, 100
acres of collards this year, accord
ing to County Agent Evans. He
harvested a part of the acreage
early reset with a late crop. He
is getting over '6,000 buches per

es for pecans. And with plenty of
room like that and ehnchn^«nt4-runn»h^’‘ a fork from about the
r.ourishing green collards in all!
both yield and quality.”
Cannon of Laurens: "Grain sor-lQuite a contribution to the health
ghum gave good yields, Thomason
Brothers - averaging 71.71 bushels
per acre on 20 acres.” ■

of the leaves off. That left about
two feet of it clean and the far

of the broom.
This cleaned straw was then

used to sweep the house until they
were,worn to stumbs. Eventually
“stick! brooms”, like we have now,
showed up at our country store.
But the ladies were very slow in
adopting them, for two reasons.
First, they cost something: And'we
bought very little of ahything.’
