FARMS AND FOLKS
By L. C. HAMILTON
Clemsch College Extension Information Specialist
Folks around Mullins seldom
speak of our familiar medium of
exchange, commonly known as
the dollar, as “filthy lucre.”
They’re right proud to have in
and around the town limits per
haps the state’s biggest and most
thriving farm markets—one that,
in fact, brought in about 33 mil
lion dollars last year.
Tobacco, throughout this Pee
Dee area, is the first, most im
portant, and highly regarded in
dustry of the town and county.
And at no other market in the
state is as much flue-cured tobac
co sold. No wonder the first les
son in economics local youngsters
get is—tobacco!
I asked J. L. King, Clemson
county agent at Marion, how the
Mullins market handled so much
tobacco (and money) during the
relatively short two-month mar
keting period.
“Well, we’ve got 10 warehouses
operating. Four sets of buyers
work these houses 10 hours daily
—going from one warehouse to
another.”
“The money? It just takes care
of itself!”
While Mullins is the biggest to
bacco market in this section, oth
ers also serve the South Carolina
belt. You’ll find efficient sales
organizations at Conway, Dar
lington, Dillon, Hemingway,
Kingstree, Lake City, Lamar, Lo
ris, Pamplico, and Timmons-
ville.
At these places during
September, and October you,’ll us
ually find business humming. In
fact, it’s that way throughout the
Pee Dee where tobacco means, to
farmers alone, a cool 100 million
dollars.

Worried about burning off your
straw stubble? By using mulch
planters you can keep the straw
and plant the field immediately
W. H. Funchess, Allendale
county agent, reports consider
able success with the method.
And, farmers planting soybeans
immediately after combining
winter grain don’t get a guilt-
complex.
Many South Carolina soils have
a poor physical condition. They
also have poor water and nu
trient-holding capacity. Turning
under organic matter such as a
straw stubble is supposed to help
both conditions.

Farmers have the funniest
problems. ~
Near Bluffton, in Beaufort
County, we overheard Willie E
Pinckney asking Row V. Hanson
of the Fish and Wildhfe Service:
“How can I reduce the coon
population around here?”
Raccoons, we learned, were
eating up the melons, corn, and
other garden crops throughout
much of the Low Country.
A coon is an intelligent, vicious
animal. But If they are captured
young, they are said to make ex
cellent pets. Coons are good fight
ers, and often give dogs a bad
time when cornered;
L. G. Webb, Clemson wildlife
project leader, says there’s con
siderable demand in the Carolina
Piedmont for coons. Farmers
and hunting clubs like to stock
their preserves with them.
“Find a way to trap them, and
you shouldn’t have much trouble
finding a market. The game war
dens will be able to explain trap
ping and hunting regulations.
And perhaps they can suggest a
market for the live coons.”

The 250 Russian oat varities
growing at Clemson's Simpson
Experiment Station have turned
up a surprise.
Three strains were found to
have superior resistance to soil-
borne virus — commonly called
mosaic, according to agronomist
Henderson Produces All-Jersey Milk
Dr. W. P. Byrd, who is screening 1
them for the second year.
“Only four or five cultivated
varieties in the world collection
are known to have adequate re
sistance to mosaic. We’re happy
to find other strains which may
strengthen our breeding pro
gram.”
The oats having resistance, in
cidentally, were found in non-cul-
tivated “wildRussian strains.
Break the soil for your fall gar
den by the middle of June.
Tomatoes for September, Octo
ber and November harvest should
be planted in the field between
June 20 and July 15, says P. M.
Smith, Clemson extension horti
culturist.
Plant your fall crop of canta
loupes in June. Collards, turnips,
and other salad greens may be
planted from late July through
August.
“Preparing soil early allows
time for straw to decompose.
About one week before planting,
apply your fertilizer.
"Insects cause more trouble on
fall garden crops. But these can
be controlled with our recom
mended insecticides.
Because of their resistance to
downy mildew and leaf spot di
seases, respectively, Smith sug
gests planting Marion tomato end
Edisto cantaloupes in fall plant
ings.
And June planting is not too
late to plant southern peas, okra,
and pepper.
