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.
