, r UnwWiy, Kf^iilwr If, IM THE CLINTON CHRONICLE FARMS... a Kid folks By I. M. Eleaxar Clemson College Information Specialist AIM HIGH About the most successful farmer I've ever known told me bis mot to had always been, “A large quan tity of quality products on the same acre.” “Vertical Farming.'’ some have caUeqt^itat.' Pushing the yields up rather than the boundaries out to get your increased needs has been the story of agriculture In our time. And our Hugh Woodle points out that we have a long way to go in that. For few farmers yet use all of the best seed, methods, and fer tilization that both experiment and experience have shown to pay. So we have a vast field in that “Ver tical Farming ’ area to feed and clothe people and get our needed profits. • And that good farmer I spoke of above can’t tolerate a skip in a stand He sees that as money lost, which it is. So good tested seed, ex cellent land preparation, irrigation, if needed to get a stand, complete weed control with both chemicals and cultivation, and insect and di sease control are all a part of his plan Soil' testing, too, is a part of this. The county agents send thousands of samples to Clemson for testing and then help the farmer remedy any short-comings Yes, high economic yields are necessary for profitable farming now * * • GEESE AS HOE HANDS County Agent Bowen of Sumter tells Get Rid Of Back and Leg Pains, Be Well Again!

They took care of over 400 acres of cotton and a lot of orchard acreage, too. That is quite a emmon practice on the rich cotton Unde of eastern Arkansas. They told me a goose per acre keeps their cotton clean of grass they miss with the cultivator. They have principally Johnson grass and crab grass, both relished by geese They won’t eat weeds *00 CONTROLLING LIVESTOCK DLSEASES “Every farm in the county has had cattle tested fur Brucellosis,’’ report* the county agents of Colle ton. .And hack in April a “near epidemic" of hog cholera occurred there, and they coordinated the work of three local veterinarians who treated 4,500 hogs. Back in the w inter our state veterinarian', warn ed growers of this danger, as so few hogs had been treated during the low price period that hod pre vailed • * * BEWARE OF CROTALARIA Beware of crotalaria in fields of cron or grain sorghum you intend combining For those seed will get in with the grain and are danger ous to animals. If you only have a few stalks, maybe you could pull them out befor the harvest. Tests at Clemson show that just a trace of these seed in grain can be fatal to poultry and livestock. This great soil builder, crotalaria, has been enriching poor soils in the sand hills for years. And the above danger just came to light the past yea ror so when de adapted the com Lae to the harvesting of com and sorghum. It is no problem in other crops, kke grain, far its seed are not formed by the time of the grain harvest. BOYS ARE THAT WAY Local customs varied a lot in dif ferent rural areas when I was growing up. I hear folks of about my age talking of customs and things they did and had that we never heard of in our part of the Dutch Fork when I was coming along One of the delights coming with spring in some areas is poke salad and dandelion greens. We never). heard of eating those things in our Stone Hills Maybe rt was because those thrifty Dutchmen had such good gardens they didn’t have to forage for those wild things Writers of that era speak of the cracker barrel at the country store. 1 never saw crackers in a barrel. Ours came in wooden boxes that held about a bushel or little more,: with paper between the layers. The ‘Tittle red schoolhouse'' is the subject of story and song. And evi dently they must have been red at many places But I never .saw a red one in our part of the woods. Ours was never painted. It carried j the natural brown hue of weathered heart pme that just lasted on and on Likewise, the story and song speak of the faithful family cow j as “Old Boesie We all had family cows But I never heard of one be ing called or named Bossie Another, peculiarity of our area was. ramble it as we did. 1 never saw or heard of a rattlesnake, coon, or skunk being anywhere in that i area Nor have I until this day. j ThL seems most strange, since I’ve j seen them crossing or dead in the roods in just about all other parts of the state Joanna Plant Turns Out Louver Doors Joanna—Joanna Wood Products Co., producer of fixed-louvre pan eled doors, has been in operation here since early in September as a new division of Joanna tVestern Mills Co., according to an article in the October edition of the Jo anna Way, Joanna Cotton Mills Co. publication Known as stock, fixed-louver pan els. the individual units manufac tured in the new plant consist of panels ranging in width from 12 to 18 inches and all 81 inches long. Used in combinations of two or four panels, these widths will fit all standard closet widths as well as other interior door openings. The components are turned out on high-speed, precision machinery, and the finished product, sanded and ready for painting, is shipped primarily to large wholesalers in four main distribution cities: Chi cago, Nw 'York. Philadelphia, and Atlanta. Sales are handled through the Joanna Western General Sales Office in Chicago. At present, the plant is being operated on a one-shift basis, with about a dozen production employes. ! A two-shift or three-shift operations is planned for the near future if de mand for the product justifies it. Possible expansion in stock and custom styles also depends on de mand i Manager of the new plant is Frank Sherrill, who has assumed this duty in addition to his position as technical superintendent of Jo anna Cot top Mills Co. Superinten dent of the Wood Products Co. is Louis Murphy, formerly assistant overseer of Weave Room II at Jo anna Cotton Mills Co. The Jdanna-Western-owned Kay- wood Corp at Benton Harbor, Mich., already was supplying the market with movable louver inte rior shutters. It was in recognition of the demand for an additional line, the fixed-louver panel, that the new plant here was ftahlidwd. SUBSCRIBE to THE CHRONICLE PHONE 74 Cotton Growers To Vote Dec. 13 On 1961 Crop Quotas Cotton growers will vote Dec 13 in their annual referendum to de termine whether to use a system of marketing quotas for the upcoming crop of upland cotton A recent release from the State ASC Office in Columbia points out that if the referendum is approved, the system of quotas would apply to the 1961 cotton crop This would be the eighth successive year in which quotas have been in effect for upland cotton Quotas have been proclaimed by the Secretary of Agriculture on the basis of an official determination that the estimated total supply of cotton for 1960-61 will amount to approximately 21.7 million running bales, or about 3 million bales above normal. The law requires the proclamation of quotas by Oct. 15 in any year when the total supply exceeds normal. Quotas do not take effect, however, unless approved by at least two-thirds of the grow ers voting in the referendum. Only one allotment-price support program will be available to grow ers for their 1961 cotton crop. Leg islation provided the ao-calkd Choice (A) and (B) program only for 1959 and 1960. The nalkmalt cotton allotment for 1961, he said has been determined at 18,396,424 acres, compared with 16 million acres in 1960 This 1961 national allotment, plus a national reserve of 60,000 acres, will be broken down to states and coun ties. and individual farm allotments will be made available to produc ers before the referendum. S. C.’s 1961 allotment has been announced as 772,379 acres plus 5.34> aerbs from the national reserve for mini mum allotments, making a total of 777,721 acres This represents a 10 8 per cent increase over the 1960 I cotton acreage allotment If marketing quotas are approved m the December 13 referendum, ; prjee support will be available to i growers w’ho can comply with farm allotments at a level within the range of 70 to 90 per cent of parity As in other years, the exact level ; of price support will be determined : later. Growers who exceed their ! farm acreage allotments will be subject to penalties of 50 per cent of the June 15, 1961, parity price on the farm's excess production of the crop, to addition, none of the upland cotton produced on the farm will be eligible for price support If marketing qurtas are dis approved for 1961. acreage allot ments will remain in effect and price support will be available to cooperators at 50 per rent of parity, as provider! by law Df.
