Stiles Harper, Estill, South
Carolina businessman, feels un
comfortable when you start brag
ging too much—especially if the
bragging concerns* his particular
line: soybeans.
Harper, with / associate Grovjer
Bowers, helped “plant" the bean
in South Carolina about 11 years
ago when they began sponsoring
a soybean contest to encourage
farmers to plant.
As it turned out, the bean that
they planted has become a giant.
With 600,000 acres in South Caro
lina this year, soybeans occupy
more space than the bean Jack
planted. And with farm income
from soybeans at about 30 mil
lion jjolla^s, more gold is per
haps brotight back from the top.
The firm of Harper and Bowers
has played a key role in soybean
expansion in South Carolina.
Their EstiU plant has' a capacity
of 2 1-4 million bushels. A mod
ern solvent .extract process for
the processing of vegetable oil
has a ‘.‘crushing ” capacity of 2
million bushels.
, Mention the fact that South
Carolina soybean production
ranks Uth in the nation, and
Harper cringes Say that South
Carolina soybean growth has
been phenomenal and he is ob
viously peeved. Why?
“We’re only producing about
2 percent of the nation’s soy
beans. We should produce more.”
He hps a point. Illinois, for in
stance, produces almost 25 per
cent of the nation's production of
670 million bushels. That state
produces 160 million. Iowa pro
duces 91 million, Indiana 75
billion bushels, Missouri 60 mil
lion bushels, and so on.
.Harper says SoUth Carolina
production of under 13 million
bushels ^an undersized share of
the national production. He’s
proud of past accomplishments,
but thinks we still have a way
to go,- '
a hundred items ranging jfom
soap to antibiotics.
And we might add, soybeans
constitute a sizeable hunk of the
states’ economy. The
in third place In importance—
just behind tobacco and cotton:
• *
\
Roughly one-third of South
Carolina’s cotton acreage was
mechanically picked last fall.
County agents from the 46
counties have revealed informa
tion which shows a snowballing
trend away from hand labor.
Tigs trend is* moving fast** in
the Upper Coastal Plain, but is
not confined to that section.
A. D. Grainger, county agent,
Manning, says 60 percent of his
county’s cotton crop was {licked
with machines this fall.
“We had about 22,000 acres
picked by 75 machines whiefi
operated here.”
In Orangebdfrg, 35.000
were picked by 150 machines.
Marlboro .had 128 machines go
ing. Lee county had an even 100
Altogether, 212,000 acres
harvested by mechanical pickers
this fall. Total nufnber of ma
chines? Just under one thousand.
J.. F. Meares. Sr., Nichols, says
farmers who grow street potatoes
A i :
should by jdl means hay* a cur
ing and storage houee.
Over supply occur* at harvest
time^ Storage and processing
plants are flooded; and fanners
don’t always get the best price.
Bupt ifdie has storage fhciliUes, a
fartoer can sell, in his own time.
Meares has been growing
sweet potatoes for 40 years.
Perhaps it’s not by chance that
crop Is nowfj the banana is the fastest moving
item bp foed store produce coun
ters. u '■ / \ _
J. B. Green. Columbia, a pro
duce, buyer and merchandiser,
puts the banana at the top of a
list of seven vegetables he says
constitutes half of the entire
produce volume sold in local gro
cery, stores.
The banana is naturally “pack
aged,” has an attractive color,
and jnay be carried away with
out additional wrapping. It is
guaranteed not to soil a lady's
gloves, and is ideal for eating out
of hand. There’s no juice to stain.
And all these qualities, including
the packaging, comes naturally.
Nature has not been so good
in designing other vegetables to
endure the hardships of market-
acres mg' and to remain attractive and
appealing to the consumer. ^,
artificial color is added to pro
vide more appeal. Like apples,
which are in fourth place, tall
that is needed is to sise the frui’t,
put it in bags, and it will usually
“sell" itself.
Lettuce is in fifth place in sales
at the produce counter. It is not
naturally “prepackaged” as the
banana, but food store workers
wrap each head of Jettuce in
transparent film bag, making it
into a rather durable commodity
which is at the same time at
tractive.
Beans are sixth in sales vol
ume. Sweet potatoes, called
Yams in many stores, are sev
enth.
Out of the seven leading vege
table items, at . least four are
grown in considerable quantities
in South Carolina, Georgia .and
North Carolina. These , are pota
toes, apples, beans, and sweet
potatoes.
Until a few years ago, lettuce
was grown in Horry, Charleston,
Beaufort, Sumter, and perhaps
other South Carolina counties
New developments in processing
lettuce for shipment are large
ly responsible for the loss of
South Carolina’s commercial let
tuce crop.
The new process, called
for vacuum-cooling plants,
Overcoming problems relative
to putting attractive vegetables
before the consumer is so serious
that U can make or break an en
tire industry.
It would be foolish to say that
there are no problems in ship
ping and merchandising banan
as. There are. But the bamana
remains ideal from the mer
chandiser’s standpoint,
But the problems Involved in' “court.
growing, shipping, holding, and
ripening bananas are handled
efficiently by that Industry. True,
the banana may be a “natural,”
but so may beans, sweet pota
toes, tomatoes, lettuce and Irish
potatoes—after we’ve conquered

The* Irish potato. . in second vacuum-cooling, replaced the
place, is naturally rough t and older method of package lettuce
dirty. But before potatoes appear
in the store, they are washed,
graded and packed in convenient
sized bags acceptable to poten
tial customers.
Citrus fruits, in third place, are
naturally attractive enough. But
in crushed ice. But the vacuum-
cooling process required vast
acreage to warrant the expen
sive cooling plant and it* equip
ment. South Carolina lettuce
growers were too few and too
scattered to justify expenditures
