Thursday, November It, 1959 FARMS... AND FOLKS By J. M. Qeazer Clemson College Information Specialist COMMERCIAL VEGETABLE HANDBOOK Clemson has recently gotten out a much needed “Commercial Veg etable Handbood” in the f9rm of ^ Circular 454. Up to now vegetable information has been available in mimeographed form for the sep arate crops. But in this publication it is all compiled into a 50-page booklet that interested folks can get at their local county agent’s of fice. • • * SOYBEANS LN HAMPTON County Agent Thompson tells me they had about 45,000 acres of soy beans in Hampton this year. They also have vast facilities for drying and storing them, there in the coun ty. These facilities are serving them well for corn, grain, lupine seed, rice, etc., too. * • « • IRRIGATION IN McCORMICK “Irrigation showed up well on old corn and cotton, where tried, this year,’’ says County Agent Bonnette of McCormick. It did at Clemson, too, even on grain sorghum. ITI give you those results as soon as the figures are all in. > * * * SOIL TESTING Dt NEWBERRY Newberry has a campaign under way to get the soil tested for every field in the county, County Agent Busby reports. A similar campaign was completed some time ago in Edgefield and is nearing completion in Lee County. Agricultural workers in all coun ties can show farmers how to take soil samples 'The county agents have the necessary packing cases and send the samples to Clemson; for testing Clemson reports back to them and they then interpret the reports for the farmers, formulat ing liming and fertilizer recom- 1 mendations for each field TURKEY TIME We are approaching he tradition al turkey season. But it is only a tradition now. For, in reality, tur key has of late become a sort of every day meat. Efficient produc tion of quality birds all season through, and the very reasonable prices that have prevailed, have served to bring this about. Yes, from a holiday treat to an every day meat, that’s the change that has come to turkey in our time. And, my, the breeders and produc ers have improved the quality of the turkey! The old grashopper tur key of years gone by would look like a crow beside one of the plump meaty birds of today. Turkey growers have been plag ued with low prices for some time That means that we can all afford to eat more of it now. And that should soon help the grower, too. * • • BOYS ARE THAT WAY Earliest recollection caifies me back to the time I must have been about 5. That would make it about 1901. My folks carried me to Co lumbia with them! I was sure in a strange world then. From the time the old wood burner rolled into White Rock, our flag stop, with a shower of hot cin ders, until we got back late that af ternoon, I was half scared all the time And I know I was a nuisance, hanging on to my mother’s skirts all day. Crossing that trestle into Colum bia scared me a lot. There were no sides to it and it looked like we were just hanging away up in the air, 20 feet or more. We got out down there on Gervais street and walked up the hill towards Main Our first stop was at the Farmers’ Alliance Store, run by Cousin Paul Haitiwanger. My Aunt Mat worked there I had never seen anything so big. They handled just about every thing Cousin Paul patted me on the head and gave me a stick of candy. I always liked him after that And Aunt Mat gave me a dime, the big gest piece of money I had ever had 1 never forget her for that and subsequent kindnesses. That day we had dinner at Cousin Dick Kennan’s. That was the first time I ever saw or tasted iced tea l liked it from the start. Cousin Paul lived just across the street, Elmwood Avenue. We went over there after dinner to see Cousin Kate, his kindly wife It was then I first met Ames and Deems, now prominent Columbia business men. Their sister, Laura, was already a favorite of mine. She had visited my sis er. Bull hadn’t met Carry before. With all that kinnery meeting on a rare visit there was an abundance of talk. About 4 o'clock Cousin Dick sent his buggy to take us to the 5 o’clock train. It took us back to the Stone HHLs, where I was a lot more comfortable. Not too many years after that, I learned to go to Co lumbia by myself and liked it. Col. And Mrs. Lott Occupy Home Here COL. LOTT t Colonel and Mrs. Lynwood D.
