HAMILTON CoHuja i" **"U luftritinu Specialist Two yean ago when Sooth Carolina’s domestic and foreign tobacco markets ware bsiac squeezed by foreign competition we had to restrain ourselves from saying unkind things about our competitors in Bhodesia— and up and coining African to bacco country. But after talking to three Rho desian tobacco farmers at Gali- vants Ferry this week, we’re dropping any personal resent ment and pronouncing the farm ers themselves fine chaps. Who would have thought that these efficient Rhodesian farm ers would ever come to our Pee Dee and try to sell us their own trade secrets? Yet this is pre- REPOBT OF CONDITION M. S.

MIMNAUGH, Notary Public My commission expires at the pleasure of the Governor. cisely what they are doing. Tilden Edridge, one of the Rhodesians farmers, has dssign' ed and is now manufacturing a tobacco “stick” which the Rho desians can a clip. He claims his clip will reduce 4he labor requirement for cropping and curing tobacco by 46 per cent or more. The Rhodesians were demon strating their “stick” (which al so involves new techniques of handling) in Charlie Peavy’s tobacco field near Qelivant’s Fer ry. With him were Alex Hamil ton and Stuart McDonald, Ed ridge’s Rhodesian neighbors, and E. M. Williams, Danville, Va. The new stick is an all-metal device having parallel bars. It is equipped with springs which clamp the butt end of the tobacco leaves (three to four leaves to the hand) eliminating the neces sity for forming a hand at the curing house. G. H. Liebenrood, Horry coun ty agent and Joseph Holliday of Holliday Brothers, had made ar rangements for the demonstra tion and were among the inter ested spectators. Whether local tobacco farmers adopt the device and the new techniques will be seen in the future. But the labor saving cost saving aspects look ex tremely interesting. Edridge said his clip was pat ented in the U. S. and several other countries including South Africa and Italy. “Your govern ment hasn’t decided exactly how much import duty to put on the clip.” But he hopes the duty will be no more than 20 cents each, making a total cost to the farm er of 50 to 55 cents. Alex Hamilton, who farms about 100 acres of tobacco in Rhodesia, says growers there have imposed voluntary controls on production this year. This will cut output by 20 per cent. - “We got the lowest price for tobacco last year that we had in 30 years—an average price of about 27 cents a pound. “This year we are cutting our production from 320,000,000 pounds produced last year to about 240,000,000 pounds. This should let us average about 35 cents a pound this year.” Hamilton said the control was on poundage—not on acreage. If you think tobacco in the Pee Dee is being assembled in large acreages, you’d better look at Rhodesian acreage. Stuart Mc Donald, one of the Rhodesians, grows 400 acres. Edridge grbws 300. The African country has on ly about 300 growers. The visitors were quite en vious of the tobacco quality in South Carolina and the Atlantic Coastal section in general. Edridge, before perfecting his fascinating invention, lived in the British Isles. His gift for things mechanical came to him quite naturally. He helped de sign and build the famous Spit fires during World War II. Nevyf From Agent 'iLL. (BUTE < “Freezing Foods” is the title of a very useful bulletin avail able at Miss Myrttee Taylor’s office. According to Miss Taylor, the bulletin covers fruits, vege tables, meats, poultry, fish, and game and also prepared foods. It seems to me that everyone who has a freezer would profit by having a copy. You may obtain a copy by calling 884-1021 in Lau rens. “Outdoor Cooking” is another timely piece of information with many recipes. This circular if also available to anyone who wishes a copy. • » • Has Clemson quit pushing coastal bermuda grass? This question has been asked a num ber of times this spring. The an swer is no. There isn’t a perma nent grass that will out-yield coastal. This grass will respond to good management more than any other. To get maximum yield, it requires high nitrogen fertiliser. The same is true with any other grau. I was looking through some information from Clemson on coastal sUage. If fertilised prop erty and cut at the right time, it makes good silage. Of course, it has no grain as corn does, so that would have to be allowed for. I believe that beef cattle pro ducers in particular could gain by having more coastal. Treated right, coastal could carry cattle period. More farmers fertilize coastal in August, especially with nitrogen. This fall growth will furnish a lot of late grazing. • • » Some farmers make a nice profit by buying light beef calves in the fall and selling them in the spring. W. N. Manley and Royden Mitchell have been doing this for several years. They buy around 100 calves that weigh from 250 to 350 pounds. The calves are fed corn and cob meal with cotton seed meal along with a good quality hay. They are limited on concentrate but usually get all the hay they will eat. The feed is purchased during harvest season at a reduced price. These light calves are usually good type calves that were late spring or summer calves, usual ly from a herd of poor manage ment. They are purchased at weekly auction markets and at regular fall feeder sales. This type beef produciton has a great potential it seems to me. The small producers could very well fit into this program, the feed being purchased and mini- mum land and equipment re quired. Speaking of feeder sales, the regular fall feeder sales have been announced. The Greenwood sale will be September 16, and the Spartanburg sale September 17. The calves must be delivered the day before both sales. Spec ial requirements must be follow ed before calves will be accepted in these sales. Further informa tion will be mailed to beef pro ducers in the near future. • • • Let’s take a moment and look at the cotton insect situation. Farmers who have failed to use sufficient amounts of insecti cides have more boll weevils and boll worms than they expect. This problem exists, and why so many feel they can get by on smaller amounts of Insecticide than recommended is puzzling. The boll worms after a tim* will tell on the farmer. If the boQ worms are building up, he usual ly is not using enough insecti cide. Spider mites are increas ing on many farms in the coun ty. This is not the old red spider that we know so well, but is the two-spotted spider, an insect that is much harder to control. Keep checking your cotton fields. Where the infestation is more than 5 per cent you should put on an application. * * * Want to know how to kill John son grass? Reese Young of Clin ton says Ansar 520 will do the job.
