Peaches were cultivated in
China more than 4,000 years ago.
But our modern-day peach is
greatly different from this oil,
small, bitter fruit.
Development of varieties and
constant improvement have
placed peaches No. 4 among fresh
fruits by preference in the United
States.
Peach varieties fall into one
of two basic types: “clingstone”
or “freestone”, although a few
varieties are known as “semi-
clingstone" or “semi-freestone”.
Within each of these two types
are two color classes: “yellow-
fleshed" and “white-fleshed”.
L reXgjkpK varieties are most
pdfrulaW^^resndiessert use ari<!
freezing. Clingstone varieties
are used principally for com
mercial canning but are some
times sold for use as fresh fruit.
Most of the peaches commonly
offered for sale are “yellow-
fleshed”.
Good quality peaches shouldt»e
bright and fresh in appearance
and have a“ground"(background)
color that is either yellowish or
creamy. Red color or “blush”
may also be present in differing
degree, depending on variety and
preharvest weather, but red color
alone is not a true sign of edible
quality. Peaches should be fair
ly firm or firm, but not hard.
Due to their highly perishable
4,000
nature, peaches are most fre
quently picked in a mature-hard
stage "for long distance shipment,
and may arrive on the market
too firm for immediate use. A
creamy or yellowish ground color
usually indicates that such peach
es will ripen in a reasonably
satisfactory manner. However,
peaches are sometimes picked
so immature that they cannot
ripen. Such fruit will shrivel
or become flabby, with the flesh
tough, rubbery and lacking in
flavor. Overmature or soft
peaches should be avoided, un
less they are for immediate use.
Bruised fruit may involve ex
cessive waste. Bruised flesh is
usually soft and discolored even
though the outer skin covering
and the bruise may not be dis
colored. Decay usually appears
•.as brown circular spots of vary-
"^Ing sizes and progresses very
rapidly, frequently causing com
plete loss of the fruit. Decay al
so spreads quickly to adjacent
fruits.
Peel peaches as near serving
time as possible - unless you coat
with orange or lemon juice or
fruit-freeze powder to prevent
darkening.
Ripeness, not blush color, is
the guide to selecting peaches.
Look for a good background or
“ground" color.
Yellow-fleshed peaches offer
three major nutrients - vitamin
A, vitamin C, and iron.
Keep firm-ripe peaches at
Years
room temperature for three to
four days or until fully ripe.
Fully ripe peaches should lie
stored in the refrigerator.
Try these easy and delicious
recipes.
QUICK-N-EASY COBBLER
Combine two cups fresh
peaches and 3/4 cups sugar.
Let stand 20 minutes. Molt one
stick margarine m 1-1/2 quart
baking dish in 350 degree oven.
Sift together one cup all-pur
pose flour; one cup sugar; one
teaspoon baking powder.
Add one cup milk and stir
briskly - lumps will remain.
Pour into baking dish of melted
butter, top with peaches. Bake
45 minutes at 350 degrees.
EASY ELEGANCE
Place peeled peach halves, cut
side up, in shallow baking dish.
Sprinkle witti brown sugar. Dust
with nutmeg, and dot with butter.
Bake at 350 degrees for 15
minutes.
Put halves while warm into
dessert dishes. Add a scoop of
butter pecan ice cream. Top with
a sprinkling of chopped nuts.

Extension Office is planning a
trail ride to be held Saturday,

tablespoons of 50^ sevin wetable
powder per gallon of water. Spray
the silks the day after they ap
pear and retreat four times at
two day intervals. Do not apply
within one day before harvest.
Anthracnose in cucumber and
watermelon - To control Anth
racnose in cucumber and water
melon spray or dust with cap-
tan.
Close zippers - Close zippers
before putting garments in
closets or drawers to keep the
placket seams from sagging or
stretching.
Refrigerated biscuits - Refrig
erated biscuits make quick, de
licious dumplings. About 15 min
utes before the pot roast or stew
is done, place biscuits on top of
it. Cover tightly and steam 15
minutes.
Remove Dark Film - To
remove dark film from an
aluminum pan, fill it with hot
water to one inch above the ring
of discoloration, add one or two
tablespoons of cream of tartar,
and boil 10 minutes. Then scour
with soap or detergent suds, wash
in clean sudsy water, rinse with
hot water, and wipe dry.

Livestock Tour Covers
Kentucky, Tennessee
BY M. L. OUTZ
County Agent
The South Carolina Livestock
Association is planning a tour of
Kentucky and Tennessee begin
ning July 20, and returning on
the 23. The group will travel by
chartered bus. Visits will include
the University of Kentucky, at
Lexington, to observe cattle re
search. Also they will visit some
of the famous horse farms in
the area and visit a steer feed
ing operation using distillery by
products as well as other cattle
operations in and around Lexing
ton. The group will then visit
Plateau Experiment Station at
Crossville and see a commercial
Hereford cow and calf opera
tion. On the 23rd the group will
visit and observe research at the
University of Tennessee and visit
cow-calf operation using Charo-
lais bulls on Angus Cows. Lau
rens County producers who are
members of the association are
invited and encouraged to attend.
Thad Reeves, Assistant Coun
ty Agent, is planning to have a
trail ride on Saturday, July 19.
The trail ride will start at the
Brick House Crossroads on High
way 66 leading from Joanna to
Whitmire. Everyone is en
couraged to attend. You must
J. W. Tinsley was by the office
this week giving us information
on the Silver Queen sweet corn.
This is the new one that just come
out and has very little seed a-
vailable. He says thatMrs.Tins
ley believes that it is far super
ior to the Seneca chief that he
has been planting for many years.
The Seneca Chief is bad to suck
er and also has a good deal of
smut. The Silver Queen accord
ing to Mr. Tinsley has very few
suckers and less smut and is
more sweeter and palatable corn.
So it looks as if we have some
thing good to look forward to for
our gardens.
Irby Poole, of Rt. 1. Enoree,
furnish your own horse, your own
transportation, and bring your
lunch. The trail ride will begin
at 9:30 a.m. from the Hunt Camp
that is located near Brick House
Crossroads. The group will ride
one trail and then ride another
after lunch. Mr. Reeves would
like to suggest that all stud colts
be left at home as this is our
first endeavor and we will need
as little problems as possible to
make the trail ride run smoothly.
As we said at the beginning
everyone is invited and en
couraged to come, adults as well
as young people. The trail ride
should end around 4 or 5 o’clock.
Farm Safety Week
Slated July 20-26
Laurens County should be a
safer place to live, work and
play as a result of safety pro
jects t>eing planned for National
Farm Safety Week, July 20-26,
according to T. J. Copeland, pre
sident of the Laurens County
Farm Bureau, which has a mem
bership of 465 farm families.
Although the County Farm Bu
reau has taken a lead in promot
ing farm safety week activities,
other county, state and national
organizations are joining in the
campaign to reduce needless loss
of life and limb through acci
dents that can be prevented
Laurens County Farm Bureau
president said that farming re
mains one of the most hazard
ous occupations in America today
and added that by campaigning for
safety practices, farm accidents
can lie reduced considerably in
the future.
The Farm Bureau has tieen in
strumental in getting slow-mov
ing vehicle emblems installed on
a number of farm vehicles and
trailers in South Carolina to help
reduce the number of rear-end
collisions tie tween farm machin
ery and automobiles.
is planting two acres of collards
as well as turnip greens and other
fall vegetables. Irby is planning
to spray with Treflan to control
crab grass. Irby sells a lot of
truck crops and is now in the
middle of his peach season. He
is selling peaches for $2 a bushel,
pick your own. He reports that
he is having trouble with Jay
birds in his orchard. If anyone
has a remedy for this problem
please call and let us know.
Paul Owings, of Owings, says
that he is creep feeding beef
calves. He believes that it will be
a help in this extremely dry wea
ther, as the grass is tough and
very low in protein. The grasses
are growing very little. Paul also
reports that pink eye has been
giving him trouble with a few
cows. We recommend that powder
material be used to treat pink
eye rather than liquid spray balm.
The spray balm seems to excite
cattle and they get hard to
handle, while the pow-der puff can
doesn't bother them. Do all you
can to control flies and this will
help also.
