It's Tomato Time
BY HELEN CAMP
Extension Home Economist
Tomatoes are among the most
important sources of vitamin C.
One medium-sized tomato (three
to a pound) will give you nearly
half your day’s quota of vitamin
C, as well as a generous amount
of vitamin A.
To get most good from toma
toes, eat them raw and fresh.
But remember they hold a large
share of their vitamins even when
cooked or canned.
Tomatoes are good to eat. To
matoes are good f> r you, too.
Tomatoes are rich in vitamins
and minerals. They help keep
your gums from bleeding. They
help heal your skin when you are
hurt. They help keep your joints
from swelling and hurting. Can
some f vour tomatoes so your
family will have them to eat all
year.
Ripe tomates keep best in the
refrigerator, where the cold
stops the ripening process. Store
them unm vered.
Make a practice f peeling and
cutting tomatoes just before
using. If you must prepare them
early, keep them covered in the
refrigerator until time to cook or
serve them.
T make peeling tomatoes
easier: Str ke the skin with the
dull edge f a knife blade until
skin is loosened, or dip the to-
mat in boiling water for 1 min
ute, then cool at once in cold
water, r run fork into tomato
and rotate it over heat T cook
ing unit until the skin is tight
and shinv. C nd at uce in cold
water.
Underripe t unatoes, even ma
ture creen nes about to turn
color, will ripen indoors. Spread
them -ut at cod room tempera
tures at 60 to 70 degrees F.),
in the basement or on the porch
if not to, cold. Light isn't need
ed b ■ pr< >duce gi »od red color after
tomat es are picked. Ripening on
a sunnv window sill in summer
is a po, r practice; too much sun
light prevents development of
normal t even color, and high
temperatures promote rapid
sp o' ige.
Immature green tomatoes
won’t ripen and are likely to
rot if kept too long. It’s best
to co, k them soon after picking.
Trv some of these taste temp
ting tomato recipes scon

Accident Report
One important change in South
Carolina law regarding persons
involved in minor traffic acci
dents was put into effect this
year, the State Highway Depart
ment notes.
Formerly, every driver or ve
hicle owner involved in an acci
dent in which anyone was injured,
or property damage was esti
mated at $25 or more, was re
quired to fill out an official acci
dent report within five days.
Because of generally increased
labor and parts costs the $25
figure became unrealistic as a
basis for reporting accidents.
The South Carolina Legislature
therefore, amended the law
and raised the reporting limit to
$100
The change does not affect the
state’s financial responsibility
law. Every motorist still has to
carry liability insurance on his
vehicle to cover damages incase
of accident, or he may choose to
post securities to comply with
the law.
The only thing changed is that
you don’t have to report acci
dents to the Highway Depart
ment unless someone is killed or
injured, or total damages reach
$100, Highway officials point out.

U.S. Cotton Shows
17 Percent Increase
and 1968. In 1967 Laurens county
cotton growers plowed under
1,056 acres of cotton due to bad
stands, and this year they plowed
under 449 acres due to bad
stands. This was caused by cold,
w
et weather in the spring.
In 1967, both the acreage plant
ed to cotton in the county and
the 1752 bales produced were the
lowest of record.
Cotton planted in the United
States this year is estimated at
11,051,000 acres, 17 percent more
than the 100-year low of 9,448,000
acres last year. The 1962-65
average is 14,094,000 acres.
The upturn in acreage resulted
from less required diversion than
last year under the upland cotton
program, a sharp reductions in
ttie program's payment rate for
diversion in excess of the mini
mum requirement, favorable
prices last year for quality cot
ton, and a more normal planting
season in some areas.
A total of 463,800 cotton farms
in cotton counties in 20 States
were signed up this spring to
divert 3,284,308 acres -ut of up
land cotton production under the
1968 cotton program. Ttie signed-
up farms have effective cotton
allotments totaling 14,670,561
acres. The diverted acreage re
presents 22 percent < d the signed-
up allotments.
In Laurens County, 674 farms
were signed up to divert 3,668
acres under the 1968 upland cotbm
program. The diverted acreage
represents 34.2 percent of the
county’s signed-up allotments of
10,715 acres.
Farmers of the county planted
4,697 acres to cotton this year,
compared to 4,687 acres planted
to cotton in 1967.

off to a bad start in both 1967
