Saluda Man Has 17 Vegetables
In Garden as Late as October 7
To The Index-Journal:
My friend, George Griffith, of Sa
luda County, the chapton gardener of
the Stata and the winner of the State
prize in 1929, this morning gathered
from his garden and brought to my
office as fine variety of fresh vege
tables a g ever I saw. He brought £he
following:
Kentucky Wonder beans.
. 'Butter beans.
Irish potatoes.
Peppers.
Squash.
Cucumbers.
Cabbage.
Tomatoes.
Beets.
Carrots.
Parsley.
Parsnip. r
Egg plant.
Turnips.
Okra. " -
Mustard.
Kale.
He has a garden of about one acre;
and this year his family, consisting of
him?elf and wife and 11 children,
have been served from it practically
every day since February 15 and in
addition he ha t sold between $700 and
$800 worth of vegetables from it.
This may sound incredible but he
has his books to show for hie sales.
A simple calculation will show that
he has sold from this one acre as
much a 8 16 bales of cotton would
fetch at present prices, and they
would have to be 500 bales weight!
The list above shows, moreover, 17
different varieties of fresh vegeta
bles growing in his garden a 8 late as
October 7th!
What a marvelous county Saluda
is! What marvelous things one may
do'with an acre or two of Saluda
County clay lands!
Knowing your great interest in
matters of this kind I am thereby
prompted to send, you thi 8 note for
such use as you may care to make of
it, and am only sorry that I am not in
easy reach that I might divide with
you the two heaping baskets of vege
tables made up of 17 varieties listed.
However, I have placed them on
display in the Farmers Bank of Sa
luda as an object lesson to our farmer
friends.

Mixed Farming Will
Meet the Situation
Well-Being of Agriculture Preserved
When Farmer Lives at Home,
Says Roland Turn^.
That mixed farming will meet the
present situation in which the farmer
find s himself is the opinion of Roland
Turner, general agricultural agent of
the Southern Railway Company. In
addressing the members of the South
Carolina Asparagus Growers Associa
tion at their loth annual meeting in
this city Thursday, Mr. Turner spoke
in part as follows:
“The officers and members of the
South Carolina Asparagus Growers
Association here assembled represent
probably the highest developed entity
of thought upon agricultural matters
to be found in the State of South
Carolina. You have achieved a meas
ure of success in the establishment of
an important added phase of produc
tion in lower South Carolina and have
successfully developed the production
and marketing of asparagus in a way
to attract the attention and command
the admiration of farming people
throughout the country. I assume,
then, that the occasion is most aus
picious for suggesting some funda
mental principles for the further ad
vancement of the agricultural inter
est.' of this section of South Carolina
and of the South.
“No principle is more thoroughly
established ;n history than that as
farmers restrict the range of crops or,
commodities produced and thus pass
from the field of selling to the field of
buying farm commodities, the tenden
cy is at once toward less economic in
dependence and greater economic
stress. The fact stands out that the
well-being of agriculture i s conserved
when the farmer lives at home and
produce? for sale surplus quantities
of the essential food commodities.
i
Greater economic independence of
course is realized when, in addition to
.products of food, raw materials that
are most practically and economically
produced are included in the produc
tion program. The farmer, then, if
he shall succeed, must be a seller of
commodities rather than a buyer.
“Mixed farming will meet the situa
tion and in the development of the as
paragus industry, which has been done
by farmers formerly following a re
stricted production policy, is a happy
sign of the times and justifies the
hope and belief that in this associa
tion is represented an entity of
thought or rather the power to think
which may, by carrying on, become a'
great factor in the re-establishment
of the principle of live-at-home and
the principle that farm well-being de
mands that farmers be sellers of com
modities rather than buyers of farm
commodities.
“Constructive thought ig most Im
portant and farm relief, when it shall
come, will come through the power of
constructive thinking rather than
through legislation. The officers and
members of the South Carolina Aspa
ragus Growers Association have dem
onstrated beyond question that the
power to think straight and eentinu-
oufly with respect to agricultural
matters has been developed in this
part cl the Sooth to a marked degree.
*1 woald impress the thorough
dtona gad hapeftaacu af (he
that the farmer, «f he
f tumsud, mMt he a **Aer ef
[hm thae a Imput
Etafmu f
South of restricting the farm produc
ing enterprises to a few important
cash crops has made the stabilization
of farm well-being next to impossible.
As a result of our restricted policy of
production, we experience periods of
depression and economic stress and
also periods of prosperity and well
being. It hag been said that southern
agricultural interests may become dis
tressingly hard-pressed the quickest
and that prosperity may rise to a high
■point in a shorter time than i s so in
any other part of the country. When
cotton and tobacco prices are low,
business is depressed and times are
hard. On the other hand, when prices
received for these important raw ma
terials are high, prosperity abounds
and business is good.
“The South needs a balancing or
stabilizing influence upon its agricul
tural industry and the establishment
of mixed farming or of a wider range
of producing enterprises upon the
farm s of the South will meet the situ
ation and will stabilize our agriculture
at a level of well-being and prosperity
that will meet our hopes and ambi
tions.
“Another thought I would suggest
is that the future of South Carolina,
of the South and of the country—and
here I have reference to the agricul
tural future, of course—rests entirely
in the hands of two people—maybe, I
should say, in the hands of three peo
ple—namely, the investigator doing
research work and' discovering the
truth; the interpreter of the truth, and
the administrator or user of estab
lished facts and truths as discovered
by the investigator. In South Caro
lina, through the agricultural experi
mental stations of the State, scientific
research by investigators or seekers
of the truth is well in advance with
its work. Enormously more import
ant facts and truths have been found
out and are well established than are
being made use of by the farmers of
the State. The investigator, then, has
done and is doing his job well and
progress is not being blocked because
of any delay or failure upon the part
of the man doing scientific research
work. Our power of interpretation is
not entirely adequate.
“We have, through the agricultural
college at Clemson and Winthrop col
lege at Rock Hill, great organizations
with representatives in practically
every county who are charged official
ly with the job of interpreting to the
rank and file agricultural facts and
truths that have been discovered and
established by the scientific research
work conducted in and through the ex
perimental stations. This body of of
ficial interpreters is doing its job
magnificently, it is true. They are,
however, unable to reach all of the
people in an effective way rapidly
enbugh to meet the situation satisfac
torily to themselves and to the pro
gressive spirit of the people of South
Carolina. Every intelligent man and
woman may practically aid in the im
portant work of interpreting the
truth to the agricultural rank and file
of the State.
“I maintain that teachers, preach
ers, newspaper editors, lawyers, bank
ers and every business man, ms well as
fanners, may practically assist in the
important work of painting a picture
qi the troth so vividly clear as to
make its practical use available to the
rank and file engaged in producing
crops or the management of lands in
r. I maintain that
for
administrator or the farmer actually
engaged in the work of producing
crops and farm commodities it with
us slways. ^
“The moat important matter con
fronting South Carolina and the South
is that of a greater power of inter
pretention of agricultural facts and
truths to the end that every bit of the
energy expended upon the farms of
the State shall be intelligently and
properly used in line with the facts
and truths that have been evolved by
the scientific research force of the
State.
“There is no better equipped entity
of men and women in South Carolina
to effect through cooperation with the
county agents and the colleges at
Clemson and Rock Hill a strengthen
ing of the power of interpretation
within this section than the South
Carolina Asparagus Growers Associa
tion. In conclusion, I would remind
you that your success in the establish
ment of an important producing en
terprise upon yojir cotton farms, that
of asparagus, is commendable and may
hearten us to hope that by the same
tpken you may become a power in the
development of other added producing
enterprises, finally establishing for
thig region a great, well balanced,
wholesome system of rpixed farming.
^J‘I would impress the point that
farm well-being is conserved as farm
ers expand their producing enterprises
and thu s pass from the field of buying
farm commodities to the field of sell
ing. v
“Remember that ycur destiny is in
the hands of two people, one being the
investigator for scientific truths and
facts, whose work is v well advanced
and need not here concern' u? serious
ly.
“Let me urge you that the interpre
tation of the turth is important and in
this essential matter you have as your
official interpreters ycur county
agents, your extension specialists and
your great institutions at Clemson
and Rock Hill'. While these agencies
are doing their work in a most excel
lent and acceptable manner, the ef
fectiveness of their work may be
greatly increased and the general use
of agricultural truths and facts great
ly expedited through the assistance
that the officers and members of this
association and every thinking man
and woman in the State may extend
to this group of official interpreters.

Quaint Old Land’s End
There is no spot in England more
wrapped In mysterious charm than
Land’s End. It is the jumping off
place of a million imaginations, and
when the freedom to travel Is pos
sible, a trip to Land’s End will prove
one of life's happiest realizations. If
you would try it, put up a week-end
or more at St. Just, or St Ives, Pen-
deed, or at old familiar Penzance of
Gilbert and Sullivan fame. After a
night’s rest, wander forth Into the
quaint old streets, visit fisher homes
in sheltered nooks, climb old cliff
paths, pulling and puffing out the fin
est Atlantic air and before the train
takes you away you will discover that
the lure of Land’s End was a charm
ing trick to introduce you to several
of the loveliest villages of old Eng
land.—Boston Herald.
Vacation Important
The Public Health service says that
a vacation is one of the most impor
tant of our social institutions. In a
world that is so arranged that most
people are compelled to work during
the greater portion of the year, a
change, a rest, a vacation, if properly
taken makes the work possible. Every
* man and woman is entitled to a vaca
tion. Every woman engaged in main
taining a home is entitled to a vaca
tion. It is not necessary to go long
distances, but it is necessary to get
out in the open. A vacation should
be a time set aside for the building
up of that reserve of health and bodily
vigor necessary to carry people
through the long periods of work
which must follow before the next
vacation season rolls around.

Magnesium Long Known
Magnesium metal has been known
to science 100 years. Though known
for 122 years it appeared in Its purest
form a century ago and has been avail
able commercially for more than 05
years, says Dr. John A. Gann, metal
lurgist, in a report to the American
Chemical society on the development
of the magnesium industry.
Since the date of its discovery it has
been found that the metal Is about sev
enty times as plentiful as nickel and
200 times as abundant as copper. Mag
nesium salts are itlko found In mineral
waters and In the ocean. The impor
tant raw material for magnesium pro
duction in the United States at the
present time is Michigan salt brines.
