HAMILTON Clemson College Extension Information Specialist Comet...World’s KX),OOO-Mile Durability Champion At Duytow, a team of four specially equipped *64 Comets each traveled day and night 100,000 miles at over 105 miles psr hour —sn un equaled feat of stamina and durability. In Africa, Comet showed its stamina again in ‘tha wildest ride on earth"—the monsoon-swept East African Safari Rally. 94 cars started. Only 21 finished the run—two of them were Comets. Fully 112,000 South Carolinians have “money trees” which many specialists feel are not yielding full crops of greenbacks. America is the chief producer of pecans. The Palmetto State, with 634,000 of this country’s trees (soils and climate suitable for many more) may not have exploited all avenues for extend ing sales in this country and abroad.

Observing birthdays on April 28th are Lewis Samples, Iris Martin, Ginny Bagwell, Eddie Bigham, Mrs. Beatrice Dyer, Arlie Meade and Charles Huey. Celebrating birthdays on April ant agricultural attache with the U. S. Trade Center in London. “We have just closed a ten- day American Food and Wine presentation here in London where pecan and peanut industry exhibits drew the attention of a wide range of British importers, grocers and wholesalers, as well as food manufacturers in bak ery, confectionery and ice cream industries. “Pecans are virtually un known to most British consum ers. Pecan ice cream, made for the occasion, was a definite hit,” Mr. Findlen said. Dr. J. G. Woodroff, University of Georgia, who assisted with the pecan exhibit, says it was so successful in London that plans were made for another exhibit in Scotland’s Food Exhibition which is now underway. “The reaction of the British traders and public, who had never seen pecans before, has been extremely favorable,” Dr. Woodroff said. “They found the 29th will be Harold Kent Low ery, Bruce Sheppard, Sandra Peavy, Mrs. Horace C. Smith and Shirley Ann Heaton. Best wishes to Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Fowler on their wedding anniversary, April 24. Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Richard Foster on their wedding anniversary, April 26th. Best wishes to Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Windsor on their wedding anniversary, April 29th. texture unrivalled and the flavor excellent. “Time and again we asked how much will pecans cost in Britain and if we can give as surance of a steady supply.” This is an important point which Roy Ferree, Clemson ex- tension horticultural leader, says needs to be worked on in the 15 mid-South and Southeast ern states producing pecans. Obviously, any v overseas mar ket would fall on its face if food" promoters abroad could not de pend on a continuing supply year after year. Ferree says supply ing a steady stream of pecans to European markets is possible but would be presently handicap ped for these reasons: "Too many of our pecan trees have an inherent tendency to ward biennial bearing—that is, bearing a good crop every sec ond year. “This suitation has been ag gravated for the most part, from low soil fertility and the failure to spray or otherwise control diseases. “If annual crops of pecans are to be insured, a regular fertiliz er program is necessary. It is also necessary to protect the leaves by spraying, Mr. Ferree said. \ Owners of pecan tree may find the fertilizer recommendations in Clemson Extension Circular 482, “Growing Pecans In South Patronize ■ 4 • The Chronide Advertisers Carolina.” Another circular, 484, tells how to control insects and diseases. These may be obtained at county agent offices. Most growers applied fertiliz er to their pecan trees last month, but Ferree says trees should be watched for addition al needs this spring. “An additional application of nitrogen put on in late May or early June will be helpful if you observe that the trees have set a heavy crop of fruit.” Ferree said another point we’ll have to look to before supplying large quantities of pecans to overseas customers is expanding storage facilities. Stored pecans are not surplus when, as Dr. Woodruff says, prospective Brit ish buyers ask first, “Can we be asured of a continuing supply?” Thus the burden of develop ment of this promising industry appears to fall as much on the producers as on the developers and promoters. A constant sup ply of high quality nuts is essen tial. FREE ESTIMATES! ON ALL FENCING NEEDS! Sold and Installed By SEARS 130 Musgrove St. Phone 833-2411, Clinton, S. C.
