10 THE CLINTON CBBONICLE Clinton, & C„ Thnndny, October 21, 1001 FARMS and FOLKS How Can I? all the grease. By L. C. HAMILTON CoBofa lit—if lafonnntion Specialist Q. my I tab? The growth of commercial grain produtlon in South Caro lina is bringing with it the need for considerable educational ef fort in production, harvesting, storing, and selling. This year South Carolina farmers are expected to produce 30 million bushels of corn, wheat, oats, barley, and rye. Corn yields, indicated on Sep tember 1 as 49 bushels per acre, will be the highest ever attained. The state’s soybean acreage, at 888,000 acres, is the highest on record. According to the Crop Reporting Service, yields will average about 24 bushels an acre giving a production of 21.3 mil lion bushels. The value of these crops could ing effldaacr but is somewhat hazardous because high • mois ture grain will not keep well un less the moisture level is re duced. Farmers reduce the moisture level by artificial dry ing in their grain bins. Insuf ficient drying on some farms is leading to grain spoilage. ‘Too many people are puttng in grain drying systems without proper investigation before pur chase. And many of the me chanically adequate systems are not being operated correctly.” Seidschlag observed. He said much grain spoilage can be prevented if farmers pur chase adequate drying systems and use them correctly. A.

When asked if there were prob lems relative to the state’s bur geoning grain crops, E. W. Sied- schlag, Clemson extension mark eting specialist, Columbia, told me, ‘‘There are all kinds of prob lems. I don’t really know where to begin.” There is a tendency to market more grain on the basis of Fed eral-State grain grades which call for a close analytical in spection of the grain and all for eign matter included with it. The foreign material in grain includes pieces of hulls and stems, weed seeds, and, in fact, any material except the grain itself. Seidschlag says grade stand ards set a tolerance for all for eign material in grains. If the foreign material in a farmer's grain exceeds this tolerance, his grain is relegated to a lower grade and he has to settle for less money. The presence of Crotalaria seed in grain, for instance, is forbidden altogether. Although Crotalaria might be detected in other grains, the forbidden seed is found most frequently in soy beans. “Crotoiaria matures in late summer and fall, about the same time as soybeans. The plant is easily identified by its bright yellow flowers. It is a cold hardy legume, and remains green after the soybeans have matured and turned brown.” . Siedschlag recommends that farmers scout their fields * for Crotalaria. If found, it nhnuld be pulled up and carried from the fields before harvesting. The recent trend to total me chanization of the corn crop also brought problems which need to be adjusted, according to Seidschlag. With mechanized harvesters, farmers can harvest their entire crop within a few weeks. Early harvesting gives better harvest- siTMsrnvs STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA.
