9 Thursday, July 23, 1939 THE CLINTON CHRONICLE FARMS... AND FOLKS By J. M. Eleozer Clemson College Information SpadaUat Under the old cotton system, we had our farm services. They were the fertiliser dealer, the ginner, the buyers, the warehouses, etc. Now that diversification is fast coming, new services for new crops are needed. And they are being built at many places. In some counties ex isting agencies branched out and began furnishing the new services. But in some of the more rural coun ties this did not take place when needed. Jasper County was one that des perately needed some new services for its changing agriculture, Coun ty Agent Tate tells me. So, some years ago the Jasper Farmers’ Ser vice was organized. It had its ups and downs at first. But Tate says, “It operated at a profit again in 1958.” And he goes on to say, “Services now being offered include sweet po tato curing, grist mills, seed clean ing. fence post treatment, spraying service, and pea and bean shelling.” * * * APPLES IN OCONEE For some years now I have been telling you of that little nest of ex pert apple growers that has grown up in the Long Creek section of Oconee County. With the help of the State Marketing Commission and expert assistance from Clemson, a few years ago. they erected a cen tral packing shed From there, fan cy wrapped box apples have been put out. These are as fine looking apples as you will see coming from anyw'here, and better flavored. This apple experience shows that Oconee can have a destiny with ap ples, high quality apples. For their soil and climate are such as to give them unexcelled flavor and general quality. County Agent Morgan tells me 91 new acres were set to apples up there the past winter. Six hundred of the new apple, Stark Crimson, were planted. Most of the balance were of the Double Red Delicious variety. * * * GROWING BABY FOOD Prepared baby foods have grown into big business. Vegetables, fruits, cereals, you'll find them all put up in individual jars, just right for the baby. As far as I’ve heard, the princi pal things we grow that have been going into these baby foods have been sweet potatoes and peaches. Summer's the time to Give your home o 'New Look'! Free Estimates..

But now one of the big baby food concerns has put a plant across the line in North Carolina near Hender sonville. County Agent Martin tells me his Spartanburg farmers this winter put out sizable acreages of three fruits to sell to this plant. Bartlett pears, plums, and Amber Gem peaches are the three they cen tered on, with the approval of the plant. Of the peaches we grow, the Clemson food processing laboratory, under Professor L. 0. VanBlaricom, found the Amber Gem specially suit ed to the requirements of the, baby food people. A lot of processing now. For every man producing on the farm there are at least two on down the line processing and handlihg his produc tion. * * * BOYS ARE THAT WAY About a mile back of home in the Stone Hills was the old Busby place where no one lived. The old tumbled- down house was still there when we were kids. But broom straw had sprung up all over the field around the house and virgin pine timber grew in the woods. One fall my mother sent Zeke and me there to cut her some broom straw. Although we didn’t like the work involved, we liked to go back in that lonely wilderness. We followed the little-used path that led through the woodland and into the opening where the straw grew. But before we cut a stalk of straw, we had to explore the place first. We saw the evidence of many rabbits, and their paths led through the tall broom sedge. Following one it led to a gnarled old apple tree there on a terrace bank. Its late ap ples had finished falling, and there were some good ones on the ground that the rabbits hadn’t found. We ate first. Then cut each a bundle of broom straw. We tied it with bullice vines, good and secure, so we could tote it. Then we returned to the old apple trees and picked up about a peck apiece. Most of them had rotten spots on ’em. But still there was a lot of good eatin’ in ’em. We tied our overall suspenders around our waist like a belt, and then filled our shirts with apples until we stood away out just above the waist. Shouldering the straw then, we were of on the trek home We took a short-cut and ran across a honey locust tree loaded with ili’ coveted pods. We looked them over carefully, but they were not yet ripe enough to eat. We just marked that spot in memory and re turned later for many a feast GOT* SUMMER COLD TM£ _ for symptomatic RELIEF PUBLIC RECORDS DUE TO POPULAR NOTHING JIM WALTER i» breaking all ule« record* . . . 36.000 already sold . . .

For a pair of these Chevrolet sixes with Powerglide walked away with the first two places in their class, get ting the best mpg figure—a whop ping 22.38—of any full-size car. And here are more expert, impar tial opinions and on-the-record facts backing us up on Chevy’s other six bests: BEST TRADE-IN Check the figures in any N.A.D.A.* Guide Book. Chevrolet used' car prices last year averaged up to $128 higher than comparable models of the “other two.” BEST STYLE It’s the only car of the leading low-priced 3 that’s unmistakably modern in every line. “In its price class.” says POPULAR SCIENCE magazine. “Chevrolet establishes a new high in daring styling.” BEST BRAKES In direct competitive tests of re peated stops from highway speeds, conducted by NASCARt, Chevro let out-stopped both of the other leading low-priced cars—and why not: Chevy brakes are far larger, built with bonded linings, to help lengthen brake life by as much as 66%. BEST ROOM Ofiicial dimensions reported to A M.A t make tb,is clear. For example, Chevy front seat hip room is up to 59 inches wider than comparable cars. BEST ENGINE Every motor magazine has given Chevrolet’s standard and Corvette V8’s unstinted praise. As SPORTS CARS ILLUSTRATED puts it: “Indeed this device is surely the most wonderfully responsive en gine available today at any pr^ee. , • BEST RIDE MOTOR TREND magazine calls Chevy . . the smoothest, most quiet, softest riding car in its price class.” You’ll be able to tell this yourself, instantly.
