A delightful Southern custom
we must never give up is eating
turnip greens.
Even more pleasing is to pan
take of the pot liquor, consumed
as a warm beverage a few min
utes before—or during—the main
course.
Miss Betty Moore, Clemson ex
tension nutritionist, says most of
the water soulable vitamins (and
turnip tops have an abundance)
are contained in the “llkker” fol
lowing cooking.
This adds the weight of scien
tific evidence to a practice we
have always indulged in for pure
pleasure.
More specifically, the ribofla
vin, and other B vitamins, go
easily into solution, but may be
captured in the juices at the bot
tom of the pot.
Vitamin C, too, is a constituent
of the rich leaf. This also sim
mers down to enrich the aqueous
delight. There are others, of
course.
And within the leaf itself are
large supplies of vitamin A, and
a number of needed minerals, in
cluding calcium and iron, in
easily available form.
These thoughts came to my
mind with the realization that we
are entering the turnip planting
season in South Carolina. Plant
ing turnip “patches” will con
tinue from August until about
September 10 in the Piedmont
Region, and until about October
1 along the Coast.
Dr. W. L. Ogle, Clemson, has
observed that most people in the
Piedmont prefer the duel pur
pose carieties. One of these, Pur
ple Top White Globe, is used, for
greens and bunching, and is liked
by the early planters.
For greens only, in late sum
mer and fall, the Shogoin is gain
ing in popularity’. Seven Top is
a widely used variety for the mid
winter season.
Liming the soil until the re
action is at pH 6.0-($.5 is suggest
ed for the turnip patch. High or
ganic matter not only improves
the leaves, but also improves the
tilth of the soil. Good tilth is nec
essary for best growth of the edi
ble root.
WTiy Southerners had such an
early manage with the turnip
(said to be planted at Jamestown
in 1600) is a mystery. The En
cyclopedia World Book suggests
the origin of the turnip was in
northern Russia or Siberia. Ap
parently, our people recognized a
good thing and latched on.
Miss Moore says the leaf of
the turnip surpasses most (if not
all) other vegetables in nutritive
value and especially in vitamin
and mineral content. But, of
course, you’ll have to join the
Southern custom of drinking the
liquor to get it all.
Using the young, tender turnip
leaves as a salad is not as widely
practiced. But Miss Moore, says
that, combined with milder veg
etables in a tossed salad, the re
sult is amazing.
“It adds a lot of character and
color, not to mention the food
value.”
What other uses are made of
the leaves, we don’t know. But
they are too nutritious to give up.
And the custom is too pleasing to
want to give up. To the contrary,
the salad idea may be the begin
ning of a bandwagon movement
to make turnips a nation-wide
treat

IN YOUR COMMUNITY
DEMAND AND
QUALIFIED TEACHERS
All teachers should be college graduates trained to
teach in the grades or subject fields assigned them.
They should be proficient in reading skills because
reading is basic to all learning.
QUALIFIED ADMINISTRATOR^
Not only should superintendents, principals, and other
administrative personnel be trained in their fields but
they should be provided with clerical and staff assist
ance so they can concentrate on education rather than
rr details.
COMMUNITY ATTITUDE
Do the professional and business people of your com
munity encourage children to stay in school. Do they
entice them away by offers of low-pay mg jobs that
can be the beginning of the end? Or do they demon
strate that for a youngster, education should come
first?
CURRICULUM FOR ALL CHILDREN
Meaningful school courses should be provided for all
types of students. College-bound pupils need a dif
ferent curriculum from pupils going into trades, in
dustry or commerce. Many pupils need special courses
to enable them to become useful citizens. This is one
of the reasons that small high schools cannot provide,
without great expense, proper education for all
students.
LOW PUPIL-TEACHER RATIO
» Pupils, particularly in the primary grades, need aH
the personal attention possible. No teacher, with three
dozen diverse personalities clamoring for her atten
tion, can provide proper instruction.
COOPERATIVE PARENTAL ATTITUDE
Unfortunately, drop-outs breed drop-outs. Understand
ing parents, eager to help their children, often are
prime factors in keeping pupils in school. Indifference,
born of ignorance or lack of compassion, must be re
placed with knowledge that education pays economi
cally, socially and culturally.
ADEQUATE SUPERVISION
Ail workers need leadership. All teachers need super
vision. Only a few districts in South Carolina have
qualified supervisors to help teachers, to guide them,
to develop new techniques. Teachers recognize the
: value of highly skilled professionals assisting them in
their daily work.
GUIDANCE AND TESTlNCf
Teachers and administrators need to know pupils'
mehtafl capacities. Anyone can look at 30 first graders
and see the physical differences in the pupils; but few
people realize that the mental differences are just as
great Good instruction increases individual differ
ences. All through school, guidance can be facilitated
by proper testing. Many a child is a sound citizen
today because he was pointed in the right direction
by a guidance counselor.
