I Thursday, December 8, 1960 THE CLINTON CHRONICLE, 11 FARMS... AND FOLKS By I. M. Eleazer Clemson College Information Specialist WOODS FIRES We are in the woods fire season now. Hye don’t have anything like as many As we used to. And that’s because we don’t want 'em.* ■_ , - Woods fires aff Tnostly man made. And when folks don’t want ’em, they don't have ’em. We are planting tens of mil lions of pines on bare lands each winter. And we are taking better care of the woodlands we have. This growing interest in trees is building an empire of values for the future Not only the future, but the present is feeling the great lift of a growing income from our forests. Our forester, Bill Barker, | points out that a few simple acts; will prevent most of our woods fires. As Smokey says: “Break your match, crush your smokes, and drown your camp fire and be sure it is dead out.’’ Also I’d add, be careful with all sorts of necessary burning of trash, hedges, ditch banks, etc. And watch your weather for any burning. Wild fires are a lot ^asier to prevent than to stop. * * * AROMATIC TOBACCO ^1N NEWBERRY Several growers tried aromatic tobacco in Newberry county the past season. County Agent Busby says they sold their 3,500 pounds for an average of $1.10 a pound. Agent Bull of Abbeville, tells me several of his growers are liking this crop, too. Clemson employs two special county agents to assist with these demonstrations. Any growers in terested in the crop should check with them through their local county agent. For a lot of know how they can supply is needed in producing this crop. • * * GOOD CORN IN DORCHESTER County Agent Epps says Dor chester County has just harvest ed its best corn yield in history. Eight of the 16 plots checked in their corn contest made over 100 bushels per acre. And that coun ty can sure use corn, for they have never ceased selling it through hogs. Hogs through weekly shipments are their ma- 4 jor money crop. * * <: BEEF CATTLE IN GREENWOOD The Greenwood area continuM its development of beef cattle. County Agent Garvin tells me the 877 head of feeders sold in their r fall sale brought $96,958.71. Agents from adjoining counties tell me of satisfactory sales their grower's made at this event. HIGH PRODUCTION IN HAMPTON f “From a production stand point. the farmers in Hampton County enjoyed the most bounti ful harvest this_ year sine? any one can remember,” says County Agent Thompson. However, “this does not mean the farmers have received the greatest return,” he says, “because produce must be sold for a reasonable price to make a profit.” And he points out that much of their produce, especially melons, sold at a very low price. Watermelons, cotton, corn, and soybeans, their four major mon ey crops, all 'made bumper yields. He points out that this seldom happens, that all crops are good the same year. * • • BOYS ARE THAT WAY Spring rain, the patter of April showers on the window panes and shingled roof, brings mem ories aplenty. 4 School was out early in the Stone Hills, for we didn’t have but four or five months of it. That meant farm work started early for us And rain meant rest the next day. We had a saying, “More rain more rest.” And we lazy kids sure liked that. But rain did not really mean rest for us. Actually that wasn’t what we wanted. We wanted to play. And our play was usually more vigorous than the work we did. We thought it drudgery to have to plow, which it was not, just holding up the handles, as the mule walked down the fur row. But totin’ heavy rocks all day to build a dam across our favorite branch was fun of the highest order. Even the very light job of drop ping peas in the corn middles at lay-by time was irksome indeed and we hated it. Yet to drag arm- fulls of long canes from two miles down and across the creek was in the nature of high adven ture. For look what we could make from those things! Whist les, water squirters. pop-guns and the like! But the spring shower really had meaning to the grown folks. It meant the hard land could be prepared, planted, and that the stuff could come up. It meant power to the home garden there, too. For the winter had been long, and fall stores had dwin dled low. It also meant the dan ger from woods fires was about gone until winter returned again. For our woods meant a lot to us. First was firewood. Then was straw for the stables and for building the compost heap. We couldn’t have endured long with out that. It was the life of our land. Not much fertilizer then, and nothing to buy it with. And our woods were our fort, too', when a house burned or we need ed to build or repair one. And the choicest long leaf pine was se lected for shingles when a build ing needed its seldom recover ing The ways of the past! They served their purpose well. But in this ever-changing world they seem rather strange now.

ELIZABETH DICKEY, B’xecutrix Nov. 22, 1960 4c D-29 News From The County Agent M. L. OUTZ, County Agent Last November Laurens and Newberry counties jointly form- .d’a Dairy Herd Improvement Association. Six dairymen from Laurens County joined the asso ciation and since that time one other has joined, H. A Ingraham of Lanford Station Those origin ally joining were Jack Davis, L. F. Davis, Caldwell Henderson, Thornwell Orphanage, Ralph Waldrep, and Jack Greer, These reports are all kept confidential; however, there is one in this group that deserves mentioning and that mainly for the outstand ing job he is doing with his dairy heTd. ——- This herd belongs to Ralph Waldrep. His herd average is 12.- 000 pounds of milk Of course, there is a long story behind any herd that averages 12,000 pounds of milk. First of all, cows cannot go hungry and produce this amount of rmilk. In fact, they can’t cover too much ground. This herd is fed silage the great er part of the year, not just a small amount, but all they will eat. They do get grazing, it’s true, but almost the year round the cows will have silage placed before them Silage is about the cheapest, most dependable roughage a dairyman can go to, so he should strive for high yields per acre, which will give him hi£h quality. Grain feeding is not as important when a dairy- ‘man will feed all the high quality roughage a cow will eat. Ralph is, of course, testing his herd. He’s growipg the feed that is nec essary toynake high production. and since the breeding associa tion has available some of the most outstanding bulls in exist ence. he’s breeding artificially. Assuming that a dairy farmer, program’*sq as to know more has a good dairyman to milk, about feeding gain and culling feed and care for the cows, then 1 the herd. the essential things are feeding high quality roughage—all they will eat. breeding to the best bulls available, and a testing ft {V FINAL SETTLEMENT Take notice that on the 19th day of December, 1960, I will render a final account of my acts and doings as Executrix of the estate of Daisy T.
