r Clinton, S. Thursday, January 27, 196G • THE CLINTON CHRONICl>E PARMS and FOLKS ' ~~ By L. C. HAMILTON Clemson College Extension Information Specialist TURKEY FARMING IN CHESTERFIELD Layerne Harst, Chesterfield egg -producer of long standing, is putting in 28,000 young turkeys in addition to his 30,000 hen-egg operation. TRAIN LOAD OF SEED POTATOES The potato ship which has tra ditionally delivered Charleston ^county’s seed potato supply about this time each year is not calling at the Charleston port this winter. John M. Lengnick, Charleston, told us this week that Charleston growers are purchasing their current seed supply from Maine and Midwestern states. For the longest time seed tubers for planting this county’s one-stop run down the coast. But this year’s seed will come by rail. Although Charleston’s potato acreage dropped to about 1,600 - acres/d u r i n g 1965, Lengnick look^ for a 10 to 15 percent in crease in production when plant ing gets underway in February. It takes a sizeable quantity of potatoes to plant 1,600 acres. The usual rate of seeding is 1,200 to 1,400 pounds per acre. Just to get the seed delivered to Charleston will require the services of 40 to 50 railroad cars. Not long ago that would have been considered a train load. But now many of the trains carry more cars. ^ B. S. Lawrimorp, Charleston county agent, says the Charles ton growers wiirbegih . planting their potatoes about February 10. The main varieties are Sc- bago and Superior. BIG SHIPMENT FROM CHARLESTON Five million pounds of frozen shell eggs, poultry and meats left the port of Charleston last week to make deliveries in Span, England, France, Ger many and-Holland. It points out in an impressive way how the Charleston port is serving agriculture in the South east and the nation. The all-freezer vessel, the S. S. Aldenberg, is the largest vessel I visited Hurst last week with my J. C. Willis, Chesterfield county agent, and found "an optimistic outlook for p o u 11 r y in that county. Willis and Hurst agreed that contract farming of turkeys was increasing rapidly and the limit was not in sight. Hurst recently completed, on a separate farm, 10 units of tho California style (narrow) chicken houses which he uses Jrtrt commrecialism of Christmas by flippant cards, and I must agree that some of the cards I’ve seen are in rather poor taste. After all, Christmas is primarily a reliigous anniver sary. It might be well in your case to check those people on your list who observe this, and send them cards in keepng with their convictions. dates we arrange to meet else where, and so this has become a more or less" "under-cover” i. / such a party, and if so, you’ll be glad to help with the nec essary arrangements. - J for egg production. aver chartered by one firm /or a shipment of this type. T1 he ship was chartered by Bauer International Corporation. John Bauer, the firm presi dent, said the use of one ship to. carry such large quantities of foodstuffs can aid in export ex pansion* by reducing the cost of ocean freight. South Carolina poultrymen are watching the shipment with in terest. DEAR SALLY—I happen to like brght, amusing, and comi cal Christmas cards, and I’ve noticed there is an increasing number of these every year. However, I’ve noticed too that a good number of my friends send out only religious cards. What are your views on this? WONDERING. DEAR WONDERING—Then- are a good many people who are offended by the increasing DEAR SALLY — I’m deep! and completely in love for the frist time in my life, and at the ripe, old age of 32. The man is 34, fine and wonderful in every, way, and we both feel we could have a happy and successful marriage. The only cloud on the horizon, however, is the fact that I’m afraid to tell my. parents about this. All my life they have watched over me carefully, and in the past when ever I have, seemed to be dat ing any one fellow too often they thought things were get ting too serious, they have rais ed a big fuss until I finally consented to break things off. They have always maintained that NO man is “good enough” for me. Considering all this his tory, I know now that if I were to break the news to them that this man and I are discussing marriage, the battle would be on again. And to tell you the tfuth, they don’t even know that I’m out with him half the time. On most of our courtship. I need advice and help . . . badly! G. B. L. DEAR G. B. L.: Come out from under that cover! A woman of 32 should be old enough and mature enough to make her own decisions about her life. If you and this man really love each other and want to he married, then that’s it. Certainly you have been under the thumbs of' your parents much too long. Now it’s time for you to begin living YOUR life as YOU want it. GoodTuck< friend off now, and more than and if ever she suggests bor- Likerty you would just succeed rowing any of your clothes la in arousing ^some ill-will. In- the future, tell her politely, but stead, -regard this as a lesson, firmly, no. DEAR SALLY—I’m slated to be the best man at a buddy’s wedding. This afternoon, one of the fellows who will be an ush er at this wedding asked me if I had made any plans yet for throwing a bachelor dinner or party for the groom. This threw me. Am I really suppos ed to give one of these parties —is this part of being a best man? To tell you the truth, I couldn’t afford the expense of such a wing-ding. How about this? ON A SPOT. DEAR ON A SPOT—You can stop worrying. The expense of the bachelor party, if there is any, .is always assumed by the groom. If you want to han dle this tactfully, you can ap proach the groom about this, ask him if he’s going to give DEAR SALLY—I’m a girl of 16, and recently one of my girl friends borrowed one of my nicest dresses for a special dinner date she had. I was hor rified, when she returned it, to fin da big tear in the bottom of the skirt and also some food stains on the front of the dress. My mom was very angry about this, told me it served me right for lending out my clothes, and she wants me to phone this girl and tell her off about what she did to my dress. Should I? BESS.
