HAMILTON Clemaon College Extension Informntion Specialist PUMPKINS I have seen this (all a good many pumpkins and winter (hard skinned) squash. These vegetables (or “fruits” if you prefer) are relatively easy to keep for periods up to several months. Immature pumpkins and winter squash may be stored successfully if you handle them about the same way as your sweet potatoes; that is, by cur ing them at temperatures of K) to 85 degrees F. for about two weeks and then placing them in a basement or other storage place where temperatures range from 50 to 55 degrees. Mature pumpkins and winter squash don't necessarily require curing unless they have been roughly handled and have wounds which ought to be heal- ed. Like sweet potatoes, pumpkins have the ability, if they are kept warm, to heal their wounds. Then they are ready for a rather long storage life ranging from 3 to 6 months. The best relative humidity for storing pumpkins and squash is about 70-75 per cent. This humid ity would be about what "you’d find in most unheated base ments. You should take care to place the pumpkins where the surface will remain dry, bow er, since moisture favors the development of diesase infec tion. Pumpkin pie is a favorite in some parts of the country, ex ceeding perhaps the popularity of apple pie. I have an idea that our use for pumpkin pie has diminished in South Carolina, but I’m not absolutely sure. RENOVATING COASTAL BERMUDA Dunbar Oswald of Allendale bottom-plowed a field of Coast al Bermuda in which the roots had grown very near the surface of the soil. Then he subsoiled the field and planted corn on the subsoiled furrow. After cutting the corn for sil age in August, he found that the Coastal had covered the ground. Apparently the roots had penetrated deeply again. PRIVATE QUARTERS Dairy cows belonging to W. D. Herlong, Edgefield County, are getting individual “bedrooms”— small cubicles into which the cow may io to rest and from which she can return or leave at her discretion. Because the cows can go and come at will, dairymen call the housing system “free stall hous ing.” The system has the ad vantage of reducing the amount of bedding needed to keep the cows clean and warm. Cows, like humans, are rather possessive creatures. They will, after a while, choose one of the small cubicles for their own. The other cows do likewise. Although several dozen cu bicles maye be in a line, the cows go straight to their own stalls. squash, greens, and others are per cent was handled directly by Ward in the office of the Judge of grown for the big spring harvest, owner and buyer, and about 10 Probate of Laurens County, at Then they start over again, per cent was sold at public auc- 4:15 p. m., and on the same day Crops are grown 13 months here. tion. will apply for a final discharge from my trust as Administrator.

It has been in great demand for several months. And perhaps by the time this story gets in print it will be at your county agent’s office.

Some of the fruits covered in the new publication include apples, peaches, pears, grapes, dewberries, strawber ries, cherries, and fl«.. Late season vegetables gre moving out of Charleston. Pete Livingston, Charleston county agent, expects fall vege table marketing there to be go ing “full blast” this week (Oct. 12-17). “The county has about 1,200 acres of slicing cucumbers and 2,500 acres of snapbeans. Most of our fall produce goes to such places as New York, Boston, and Montreal. But we’d welcome closer home,” Livingston said. W. H. McKeriey and L. K. Wil kins started shipping fall cukes as early as September 23. Billy Towles of Yonges Island was the first, so far aa we know, to start shipping fall crop beans on Oc tober 1. Farmers in Charleston grow one crop or another throughout the year. Right now they are busy with cabbage beds from which they’ll pull plants for transplanting to the field about November 1. Then, almost be fore you stop celebrating the new year, they will be planting potatoes. The biggest crop, tomatoes, is planted in the spring. Besides tomatoes, snapbeans, cukes, It was about two years ago ment „ that the McLaurens purchased Katherine C., Morgan and the pigs from Clemson, called William Allen Coleman, SPF pigs.

L. Busby, Newberry county agent, says the recent State Su- p-reme Court ruling regarding dairy products pricing is “the hardest blow ever sustained by the South Carolina dairy indus try.” -The consequences of this rul ing seem likely to result in un stable market conditions that will permit the survival of only the biggest and least mortgaged (dairy) operators,” he said. The average value of U. S. farmland rose about $7 per acre last year, and according to “Farm Real Estate Market De velopments,” Oct. 1964, and ave raged $141 per acre.
