F'arrriers Slow To Sign Pepper
Contracts
Laurens county farmers have
signed contracts for growing ap-
peppers fojr 1957. The county wa.
proximatejly lOt).acres of pimientu
assigned 4iHl acres by fhe can
nery. but farmers are not overi>
interesttni judging from the num
ber signing contracts January
■with T. J Harper field repi
sentative of the Pomona Prodm
Company. Griffin. Ga.. who had
the'Contracts Farmers grew ap-
. proximaiely 189.acres of peppers
|n Laurens countv in 1958.
1 The guaranteed price this year
by the company is $90 per ton for
graded peppers delivered at load
ing center. Unless more acreage
is signed up by the farmers, there
is a possibility that there will
not be a receiving station in the
county If this is true, the farm
ers will have to haul their pep-
-po-rs —t-Q-. Vndersnn ^Greenville, or
sonn other receiving station.
Mr Harp* r left contract blanks
with the countv agent
breeding, shearing, management
and pastures. r .
Sheep production has practi
cally vanished, so to speak, on the
farms.
Tobacco
Aromatic tobacco, called Tur
kish tobacco, is anotlw'f crop
farmers should consider as an ad
ditional source of farm income.
, There is no government acre
age control on this crop and a
market is in Anderson. The price
is based on grade of course. Har
old Taylor, Gra community, has
boon growing aromatic tobacco
for several years.
Any person growing - tobacco
must sign a contract. The coun
tv agent's office will be glad to
assist anyone in securing a con
tract. ■

From Recent Reports of Exten
sion County Farm Agents
Allendale, H. V. Rogers—Most
farmers in the county are in fair
ly good shape so far is storage is
concerned. Many round metal
bins were erected this year and
they have been used for storing
both soybeans and corn. A forced-
air drying system has been nec
essary to bring, the moisture
down in soybeans. Several bins/
of soybeans tested as > high as 19
per cent moisture content. Tests
were made with a sampling tube
kept in the county agertts office.
w\nderson, J H, Hopkins—Sev
en communities enrolled in the
Community Development Pro
gram and? did excellent jobs. We
were more than pleased with the
accomplishmnets of the commun-
ifk's and were particularly im
pressed with the splendid spirit
ol cooperationl and fellowship in
working together. Community
development has done a .great
deal in these communiites.
Barnwell, D. Austin Shelley—
During the month we have been
busy collecting small grain sam
ples for the small grain survey to
be conducted by the South Caro
lina Crop Improvement Associa-
: tipn. This survey has already
! called attention to neglect by
marly farmers in the selection,
[ cleaning and treating of small
grain seed. m
Chester. D. C. Wylie, Jr.—Dur
ing November 325 cows were
bred artificially by the Chester
Cooperative Breeding Associa
tion. This is the largest number
bred in any one month by the as
sociation. Through November the
I association has already bred more
cows than were bred during all
of 1955 If increased business
continues in -December this will
be the best year in the associa
tion's history.
, Dorchester. J. L. King—The
.county agents assisted farmers in
marketing 1,970 hogs this month
through the local cooperaitve, for
$62,263.04. The 1956 annual re
port of the Marketing Associa
tion shows that 22.010 head of
hogs' were sold through this or
ganization during the fiscal year
for $670,357.49 for 670 farmers.
Laurens, C. B. Cannon—Small
grain is making good progress in
growth ,and wheat seeding as
about completed. Farmers have
seeded their grain on well ferti
lized and well prepared soil. They
have found temporary grazing of
much value this seasoh due to the
short pastures and hay crop re
sulting from dry weather. Sev
eral farmers have applied nitro
gen to speed growth for grazing.
Lexington, S. E. Evans—Peach
growers of the county have
adopted the lighter system of
pruning. This system allows for
better spraying, more sunlight,
and greater protection from sun-
scald of the larger limbs. Anoth
er fall and winter increase in the
planting of peach orchards is tak
ing place in the county as a result
of the good financial returns to
growers this past summer.
Oconee, J. C. Morgan—Winners
in the Community Improvement
and Development Contest were
awarded prizes during the month.
There were 20 communities in the
contest this year involvirig ap-j
proximately 1500 familiei. Thq
Oconee Planning ahd Develop
ment Board has announced it will
sponsor the program again in
1957 and will make $600 available
for prize mone^.
Orangeburg, F. M. Kearse—The
Co-op Breeding Association set a
new high record in November
with 501 first services. Plans
have been initiated for holding a
sale of artificially sired heifers
in August of 1957, and about 40
heifers have already been listed
for the sales.
Sumter, T. O Bowen—A new
350,000-bushel capacity grain ele-
I vator has been consturcted in
Sumter county and farmers have
the choice of either selling their
grain outright, storing through
the State Warehouse Eystem, or
j storing it under the CCC System.
! Corn, soybeans, oats and \vheat
I are eligible for storage. N
