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

OATS AND TURKEYS
County Agent Willis of Ches
terfield, the leading turkey coun
ty in the state, has some interest
ing figures on- turkey production.
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.
