GOOD START WITH GRAFES
“Bunlh grapes handled right offer
a promising a new money crop for
the Piedmont area," says Roy Fer-
ree, Clemson Extension Horticul
turist.
Up through the past planting sea
son about a thousand acres had
been signed up with the Palmetto
Grape Marketing Association. And
Roy tells me there are ,good pros
pects for many more.
For the past several years a scat
tering of bunch grapes has been
planted over this area and it was
just last summer that they came
into production in sufficient volume
to justify looking for a wholesale
outlet. This the marketing men of
Clemson found at a processing plant
up in New York state. A number of
large truckloads were assembled,
with the help of local county agents
and ag teachers, and shipped up
there. These folks liked our grapes
and our growers were pretty well
pleased with prices gotten.
If sufficient acreage is planted
down here, this firm shows a def
inite interest in establishing a pro
cessing plant in the area. This will
take a lot more grapes than we now
have. But Roy and the county agents
tell me local interest indicates that a
lot more will be set out next winter.
County agents tell me of the fol-
* * V
TOBACCO IN CHEROKEE
Thirteen farmers in Cherokee
county signed up to plant 15.5 acres
of aromatic tobacco last year, As
sistant County Agent Ridgeway tells
me. t
These demonstrations, like the
others over the Piedmont area, will
be under one of Clemson’s special
agents versed in the growing and
curing of this rather new money
crop. Small acaeages of it handled
by family labor are proving a good
money crop on a good many up
country farms. This is one commfMj-
ity we import a lot of. So the oppor
tunity is wide open for a consider
able production of it.

GRAIN SORGHUM HYBRIDS
Agent Livingston of Charles
ton says, “Several varieties of new
experimental grain sorghums are
planted in the county this year.”
Last year County Agent Craven of
Saluda had similar tests and found
that some of the new hybrids did
considerably better than the old va-
neties w* hare been planting TMs
county has boen_ gaowing consider*
able grain sorghum for some yean.
The new hybrids are being system
atically tested out by Clemson. As
they prove themselves in the field,
and as seed supplies become avail
able. they will be recommended for
general planting. Recommended va
rieties of grain sorghum for South
Carolina now are DeKalb E-56-A.
Martin, Redbine 80, RS 810, and
Texas 660. These are for grain For
forage (grazing and silage) the reg,
ular Hegari variety is recommend
ed.

BOYS ARE THAT WAY
Of late I went to the Stone Hills
of the Dutch Fork, where child
hood’s happy days were spent.
It’s always good to go back there
But I’m sure I'd not like to stay. For
time changes things and us, too. So
it is in memory we can best linger
back there.
I went down on the creek of many
memories. It had changed so I hard'
ly recognized it. The channel that
once trickled with clear water had
largely silted up when the hills were
cleared. Now those lands have large
ly gone back to sod and tree, and we
see the water clearing up there
again.
On the way back I came by the
old locust tree, surely a milestone
in our memories. It marked a land
corner and we feasted on honey lo
cust pods from it in our time. It had
specially good ones, and we let few
of them waste. Its long, sharp, fork
ed thorns kept us from climbing it
But with the abundant rocks that
lay around, we knocked them off.
Late in the seson an - occasional
j worm would be in the good meat of
the pods. But that didn't bother us
much. It gave rise to the saying,
what's worse than seeing a worm in
the locust you are eating'’ The an
ew er wm. a half of one.
Well, the old locust tree, although
long-lived, bad gone And some of
IU sprouts marked its spot. Our field
that bordered it, where many a hot
day I had toiled, had been turned
out and it came back thick with
pines now almost ready to cut. With
that change I wondered if kids would
again eat honey locusts when those
sprouts grew up there. I doubted it,
for the competition is too keen, and
the morning sun can't bathe them
with its power as it did their parent
that stood there in the sunny edge of
the old woodland by the field
Next week we'U walk around
some more down there through
childhood’s memories.

SCHOOL'S OUT! And
the good ole summertime
is just around the corner.
Wonderful days for the
teen-agers at your house
— busy with plans for
swims, picnics, platter
parties. And how they
love to chat with school
pals. Seems to me now’s
the time to see for your
self what a difference an
extension phone can
make in your home. One in your teen-ager’s bedroom,
for instance. Or perhaps one tor the busy mother, in the
kitchen. Check their favorite colors and give us a
call. Incidentally, an extension makes a wonderful
gift for that graduating senior less than a nickel
a day.
