* Page Nine FARMS... AND FOLKS By J. M. ELEAZER Oiemson College Information Specialist LIKES SOYBEANS Frank Williamson, over in Dar lington, uses soybeans rather ex- .tensively in his cropping system. He plants them ahead of cotton in his rotation. Said he liked them there as they gave him very little grass in his cotton. And that rich soybean roughage turned under ahead of his cotton helped a lot, too.. Under this system, Mr. Wil liamson said he does not have to “chop” his cotton in the usual sense. He only “bunches" through it with the hoe. This takes about two hours per acre as against about 15 hours’ where grassy cot ton has to be cho'pped in the us ual way. County Agent Gray told me a good many Darlington farmers are following this sys tem. * ' * * * . CHANGE WITH THE HEN In all my rounds the past sum- • mer, I saw only one hen with lit tle chicks crossing the road. As I recall, I saw only one the year before. Yes, most folks now get a batch of chicks from the hatchery and raise them without the did of hens. Whether for broilers or layers, this suits fine, for they are all of the same age then and go along together good. And, too you are not bothered with little chicks all along, as used to be the case. You now have your pul lets in a uniform group of the right age. And you have a uni form batch of' broilers that you dress at the right weight and hold them right there in their prime in your freezer. . » Thus deprived of raising chicks, I wonder if the old hen will eventually lose her mother ing instinct. Broodiness has al ready been just about bred out of some breeds of layers. * *. * BOWERS TO TRUCK GROWERS Our truck crop specialist, Hugh Bowers, reminds all truck grow ers of tlje importance of organic matter in their soils. He points out that it is the very life of the soil. It absorbs ahd holds large amounts of water, promotes good soil structure and physical con dition, and lets the necessary air into the soil that the roots re quire. This organic matter also helps •with soil drainage and serves as a storehouse for nitrogen and other plant foods. It reduces the danger from fertilizer 'burning and furnishes food for beneficial bacteria.- „ 4 Truck crops are highly fertiliz ed. The residue left from this will usually help grow an abun dant cover crop. Old truck grow ers along the coast appreciate the value of cover crops and the resulting organic * matter, Mr Bowers points, out. But new growers in other areas do not seem to have learned this lesson very well yet. Both summer and winter cover crops are recom mended. They should be seeded just as soon as you finish the har vest of truck, while the land is This Way- - -lor longer last) A trained specialist will give your car's chassis a complete lubrication check Our lubrication chart for your make and model car tells where and how often to give the chassis Marftk^— your assurance — of smooth, cushiony driving.

One lot ©f 3,000 averaged eating just about 50 pounds of commer cial feed and one bushel of oats each. Turkey, prices were rather low and they returned a labor in come of about 75 cents a bird or well over $300 a month for the man’s labor and equipment. Willis says most of their soils are well suited to oats. Many farmers who are being forced out of cotton and tobacco production are turning to small grain and turkeys. * -. Our average yield of oats in 1956 in South Carolina was 36 bushels per acre. In the United States it was 32.6. Here’s one case where we exceeded the na tional avrage. While with corn, a somewhat competing feed prod uct, our yield is only about half the national average. No wonder our graiij^creage is headed up ward and corn down a bit. Grain grows during a season when droughts don’t usually hurt as bad as when corn is trying to make here. These oats are espec ially good for growing turkeys, the experts tell me. * * * BbYS ARE THAT WAY The first show I ever saw came to our Stone Hills in a covered wagon when I was about 7 years old. I think It was the first of any sort that had ever been there. That was about 1902. The only ads in it were the gaudy pictures skecthed on the wagon’s canvas cover. They scared us. And we carried the word home from school that Fri day afternoon. Everybody went, and the little schoolhouse was filled to over flowing that night. Money was very scarce, but they would ac cept some chickens and eggs for admission, or corn and fodder for their two horses. We arrived early, before good dark. The monkey, one of the main features Qf the show, was tied on the back side of the wag on to a spoke. We kid? imme diately drifted back there. We were eating some cookies we had carried in our pockets. They were hard and crunchy. We threw one to the monkey. He picked it up, bit on it, but it was too crisp for his liking. So he dropped it in a salmon can that they had given him some water in. He left ft in the water to soft en. When he reached for it, it had gotten perfectly soft and went between his fingers. We thought thjit was recti funny and all laughted with glee. The mon key looked at us curiously a mo ment. Then he poked, his hand down there and stirred the soft cookie and water togetlvef.^tofne the can up and dran)e it down. Well, sir, w^Thdught that was one of the^ftinniest things we had e Space is out. Next week I’ll tell you about that show. NOTICE IN CONDEMNATION State of South Carolina. County of Laurent.
