LE8PEDEZA SEED
Ererything indicates s short crop
ot lespedeia seed.
County Agent Hopkins of Ander
son says they 'usually gather orer
three million pounds. Due to the
dry summer and wet fall, they did
not get over one million pounds.
I have Jlnquired in .many o^'er
counties that usually ^ther a lot
of lespedeza seed. /^e story is the
same In all. ' ‘ ^
It's a pity for a short seed crop
to coi^e along right at . this time
to hamper the growing acreage of
this great crop. With all tlie com
bines we have over the state, more
farmers might Insure their seed
’ supply by harvesting it there on
their own farms. Then yon can
really afford to scatter It around as
It should be.
BUGS ON THE RUN
Clemson's extension peach man.
Roy Ferree, reported to the recent
peach growers’ meeting that he
found no live grubs in the peach
“drops” where BHC had been ap
plied.
A farmer, Mr. Gillespie of Dar
lington. and a county agent, T. O.
Dowen of Sumter, reported to the
Florence station that some of the
new poisons seemed to be not only
killing the boll weevils on the cot
ton but also the immature weevils
in the squares. Careful tests at
the station soon substantiated this
discovery. ,
So, folks, there we have some of
the greatest news ever to reach a
peach grower and a cotton farmer:
The eurcullo is the dread of
every orchardist.
And the boll weevil Is the night
mare of every cotton grower.
To have a material that not only
kills off the old ones but most of
the Immature ones too. Is news of
n sensational sort.
My, how the art of bug killing
is advancing! A
DDT was the rlrst, witlji its won
ders. Now come others that prom:;
Is# to make It look commonplace.
Thus the -scientist adds richness

CORN A-PLENTY
Last summer I took a trip West.
One of the things I wanted tc see
‘was some lOii-bushel-to-the-acre-
: cora
j I saw It—plenty of It.
! I now learn that I could have
I seen the same thing here in South
: Carolina. Not so much of It, to be
I sure, but surely some of It here
' end there.
1 I was down at 8t. George the
[other night to the Lions club.
County Agent King delivered the
prizes to the winners In their corn
contest. Three of them made over
100 bushels per acre. S. H. Bishop
was first with 133.5 bushels, using
N. C. 27 hybrid seed. E. T Salis
bury was second with 118.3 bushels
from P, G. 714 hvbrld seed. And
C. Rumph was third with 108.4
bushels. He planted Jarvla seed, a
non-hybrid
Many other counties too are
opening up on this offensive to in
crease corn yields. For, remember,
ciir agronomists have been telling
us that we can double the average
(orn yield in South Carolina The
know-how is at hand. I What^ we
need to do is apply "tt. And they
outlined demonstrations, that moat
founty agents have been putting
on In their counties, embodyftig
fnat know-how.
Yes. I saw corn yields In excess
of IftO bushels to the acre In a
number of counties the past sea
son—I^ee, Oraneeburg, and Marlon
I recall In particular.
So we see science being applied
lo corn. Watch average yields over
the state for the next few yars.
For that thing 8pread8.% It's like
Charlie Josey of I^ee county said,
‘•That’s the cheapest Corn I ever
arew,” He made 113.9 bushels per
acre “Bryant’s way”, as they call
it over there, .^ryant ia their coun
ty afjent. That was a little over
twice what the balance of the field
made there handled In the usual
»ay.',
BOYS ARE THAT WAY
My brother was older, and he had
the gun. It was a muzzle-Ioaderi
before modern breech-loaders had
become common. It was a beautiful
gun, with carved stock. It came to
him from a great uncle who had
(lied. There was nothing like It
thereabouts. •
On the hunt, I carried the pow
der horn, shot, caps and wadding,
and the ramrod fitted under the
barrels of the gun carried by my
brother. After each shot It took
hboiil 5 mlniiles to reload that har-
lel. When this gun was cocked it
nade such a click that it often
F,cored the game, away before he
loiibl shoot. And sometime It would
lust pop a cap. Then we would
push a little pow«^r down the fuse
stem, put on another cap, and hope
for better luck at the next attempt
to shoot.
Sometime we would load oft'' bar
rel heavy, so as to be ready for
anything In a tall tree. When It
was shot, the back-fire through the
fuse stem often recorked the gun
But that sort of a load seldom
failed to "produce meat for tho pot.
He killed much game with that!
old muzzle-loader. But It ckme tO|
grief late one afternoon. (
Our very old cat started haring
fits. We thought maybe the waa
mad. They asked -my brother to
shoot her. I went ont behind the
woodpile with him where she waa.
He cut loose—ker-blng-yow. Ho hit
her, but her proverbial hlne lives
held her on. The other . barrel
wasn’t loaded. He didn’t want to
leave her In her agony until he
could reload. So he attempted to
finish her off with the butt of the
gun. In his excitemenL he hit too
hard, and snapped tho stock off
at the small part. We had to finish
her with a piece of firewood.
’That waa tragedy of the first
rank. But the ever-dependable vil
lage blacksmith fixed it perfectly
with sunken brass bracings that
was a work of art. It lasted on an-
Lii the barrels gqt so thin at the
end that we would cut our fingers
on them. Then came our first shot-
{guns—single barrrt affairs with
[hammers. And later the double-bar-
(leled affairs and hanunerlesa!
Thus, as guns evolved, two coun
try boys grew Into manhood with
them, a
LABOR SAVING
The percentage of our people <«
farms has been growing less for
years. Now leaa than one oiU of
five in this country is on the farm
Yet farm prodnetion has ever
been upward. And a larger per
centage of our total land area Is
under the plow.'
There ia Int one azplanatiott of
this paradox. Onr farmora have
mastered the machina, thereby
vastly multiplying their ^orts.
During the past year the Clem-
Bon Ehetension Service, through the
local county and home agents loc
al farmers, and dealera, pat on
farin. and home labor-aaving shows
in 41 counties of the state, 'ntey
were attended by 78,084 people.
