THE CLINTON CHRONICLE
FARMS and FOLKS
By L. C. 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-

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.

“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.

Memories in the Making
A picture ... a frame .. . to treasure always.
So she believes I
The fleeting baby smile, the outgrown pair of
baby shoes—these she’ll always treasure.
But in later years not every mother can point
with pride to her son’s baby picture. Memories
sometimes become tarnished with remorse.
So much depends on us. -
If we hope always to treasure our glimpse of
yesterday ... we must carve with spiritual tools
our vision of tomorrow.
