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

County Agent Bowen of Sumter tells
Get Rid Of Back and Leg Pains,
Be Well Again!
Eliminate those stabbing back
and tingling leg pains that threaten
to cripple you. Get rid of that sore
ness. stiffness and be able to move
wfthout pain and numbness.
No longer will you find it difficult
to get up and down from a sitting po
sition. No longer will you lie awake
nights suffering excruciating pain,
toesing about trying to get in a com
fortable position for a few minutes’
relief.

It’s a grand feeling to get relief from back and leg
pains. Call 22501 or 2723 or go to the Hart Clinic at 206

me H. D. Barnett used 1,000 geese
peach orchards. 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

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

ed growers of this danger, as so
few hogs had been treated during
the low price period that hod pre

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.

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,
