Lawrimore, Charleston county agent, said the rains which soaked most of the state during June were comparatively light in the county’s truck area. “But I wouldn’t be surprised if reports of the rains didn’t scare some tomato buyers off." Charieston’s cabbage and po tato crops were down in yields this spring but the prices were good, Larimore said. Snap bean prices were also favorable from the farmer's standpoint. ... AGRIBUSINESS BRIEFS “This is a little country busi ness we started seven year* ago," says Dave Waldrep, New berry county, in referring to the Waldrep-Senn Egg Plant at Sil- verstreet. The firm last year handled 10 million dogen eggs from local producers and distributed them to points in S. C., N. C., Georgia, and Tennessee. The Silverstreet “country** business employs 00 persons and has an annual payroll of $900,- 000. Luke B. Hart, a Whitmire banker, says his company serves 96 of the egg producers in the Newberry area-providing credit needs for producers of 290,000 laying hens and 25,000 turkeys. • • % The number of commercial farms grossing $10,000 or more in the U. S. are increasing rapid ly and may reach 1.1 million farms by 1970. The USDA Farm Paper Letter says recent facts compiled by the Economic Research Service show that the number of such farms increased from 828,000 in 1950 to 997,000 in 1963. The source also noted that the greatest increase occurred in the number of farms grossing $40,- 000 or more. In 1939 there were only 29,000 such farms. By 1959, there were 106,000. Nut meats, peanut butter and rolled oats, and similar foods make good baits for trapping chipmunks, according to the U. S. Department of Interior. ^ Chipmunks do extensive dam age to gardens, shrubs, and eat large quantities of pecans in South Carolina each pmt. The little animals are quick in their movements and very alert to danger. Their burrows are ex tensive but usually have unob structed openings near trees, hedges, wells or other feautres which offer some protection while outside. Trapping and shooting are means of controlling chipmunks in this state. Shooting cannot be recommended without resarva- tions because the use of firearms may be restricted by local laws. However, where firearms are used, small gauge shotguns or air-operated pellet guns are suggested. Reddeck Observes At Texas Station Midshipman Second Class John M.
