THURSDAY, OCTOBER S, WSS. BARNWELL PEOPLE-SENTINEL, BARNWELL, SOUTH CAROLINA Orangeburg Farmer Announces Results T. M. Dantzler Conducts Successful Experiments With Disease-Proof Sugar Cane. Successful experiments over a period cf years with a variety of sugar cane new to this section, and which have proved ^t to be immune to Mo saic disease, a malady which has al most exterminated the native cane crop in central or lower South Crolina have just been announced by T. M. 'Dantzler, prominent farmer of the Holly Hill-Providence section o f Orangeburg County. The disease, which has wrought \such havoc with the cane crops within je past several years through out this section, wa s so nam.ed from the peculiar mottled designs of grayish coloring on the leaves and the matured stalks. Those familiar with it have attributed insufficient moisture and lack of proper fertiliza tion as reasons for native cane not teaching full maturity as it should under normal conditions. It became very prevalent some years ago - in Louisiana and threatened the sug4r and syrup crops of that\State. It was due to this fact -that \effotts were made to find * a new variety which would be immune to Mosaic desease. Slate and Federal governmen£\experts went to every section of the globe where sugar cane grows, especially a s a native plant, to find a variety which was not susceptible to this malady. This search bore fruit in Java, and the new variety, which re-established the sugar cane crops in Louisiana and with which experiments in this coun ty have been conducted, i s known as i\ O. J. No. 213. Attention to new varieties first at tracted the attention of Mr. Dantzler in 1913 during the fifth annual corn .show in Columbia. At this time, how ever, no evidence of Mosaic disease had been observed. It was not until several year g pre vious to 1929 that Mr. Dantzler notic ed the peculiar coloring in his cane crop and the characteristic stunted growth. Remembering the Louisiana exhibit at the corn show he undertook to procure a small quantity of a new variety with which to experiment in that county. His efforts were re warded in 1930 when he succeeded in obtaining 36 joints of P. 0. J. No. 213 from a Georgia Federal Experiment station. It wa g subjected that spring to the severest test, possible^ It was planted in a field alcng with native cane, .but where no cane had been planted for two years previously. It grew vigorously and was not affected in the least by the disease, although the native variety growing with it suffered badly. TI»fcur year period of experimental growing was carried out with increate in yields until, this spring Mr. Dantzler has more than four and a half acre g of this cane which is now from eight to ten feet high, with a month to grow*. Some of the cane was ground for syrup last year, the bottom portions of the stalk* being used. It was found to be cf excellent quality. The tops of these stalks were planted in the fall in a fall planting experiment, and it pioved successful. Also the stubble crop from this nett cane grew much better than that of the native variety. These experiments, which have been watched by County Farm Agent, R. F. Kolb, and in which experts from Clemson College have been interested, have proved this new variety to be disease resistant cane . admirably adapted to this section. Its appear ance is much like the native variety. Lights of New York by L. L STEVENSON SES35S3SS55S3SSS5&I County Agent R. ^V Koib T? weii Canada Takes Leather pleased with what has been accomp lished by Mr. Dantzler in these ex periments. It wa s one of the crops which farmers on a reCfent tour con ducted by Mr. Kolb were taken to see. R. W. Hamilton, Extension Agro nomist, of Clemson College h^ also kept in close touch with these experi mental grow’ing s and the success with which Mr. Dantzler has met in this undertaking has been by him called to the attention of the county farm agents throughout the lower part of the State, in an effort to re-establish this crop to normality. These experiments will be of inter est to farmer s through the lower part of the State, who have during the past few years seen their cane crops dwindle until they have become al most worthless. It is also just an other evidence of the thoroughness and progressivenegg which has been slrown by farmers of the Holly Hill- Providence section of that county, re garded not only as one of the fore most rural communities in the State, but in the nation. ADVERTISE IN The People- Sentinel. Four hundred and fifty thousand persons walk dally on Forty-second street, according to a bulletin issued recently by the Forty-second Street Property Owners’ and Merchants’ asso ciation. Those who walk on mid town’s principal east and west artery do qo from choice, however. Twenty- seven thousand vehicles travel it each day. It is crossed by seven subway lines, four elevated lines, five bus lines, eleven surface lines and on It are four railroad stations. At the west end It is possible to take Hudson river and Sandy Hook boats and excursion boats to almost anywhere, as well as the Weehawken ferry. It even has a 'subway of its own, the shuttle line con necting Grand Central and Times Square, which carries hundreas of thousands of passengers each day. Re peatedly plans have been submitted for a moving sidewalk between those two points. Still, the 450,000 daily workers are a mere handfuL In the space of 12 months, the association reports, 242,230,244 tickets for busses, boats, trolleys, subways and elevated lines were sold on Forty-second street. • • • A million persons, the association figures, live within walking distance of Forty-second street. Counting those who get there by cars and busses, the total Is 2,500,000. Within a radius of 100 miles, the population is 12,000,000. Fifty-two thousand persons are em ployed on Forty-second street and 5,- 000,000 persons are fed there each year. Forty-second street merchants sell almost anything. Forty-second street Is only about 10,500 feet long but It connects New Jersey and Long island. Taking it all In all, it’4 quite an imj»ortant street. In the eyes of the association, at least. « » • Here’s where I score a scoop on the association—at least no mention was made of it In the bulletin. On Forty- second street are a number of thea ters. Business being what it Is, own ers are turning a tidy penny by rent ing the lobbies to pitchmen. The rentals, according to my Informant, run from 1300 to $500 a month. Forty- second street sttrsets a lot of Idlers. Pitchmen do the rest. They work hard and fast, since a rental of $500 a month necessitates a big take. Experts all of them, If there Is a dime In a pocket. It usually can be extracted. • • • • ^ Like to listen to a high pitch. A high pitch, as explained by my guide, la one where the pitchman givea a more or less learned lecture of more than the usual length. The high pltcbea Indicate conalderable education, ac quired possibly not In colleges but In one way or another. Anyway, they sound learned. Words are cleverly used and the art of suggestion la most highly developed. A touch of mystery Is added to the most proslac subject. The high pitchmen are expert psy chologists also. They can size up a crowd In an instant and rarely make a mistake. So dimes come even from unwilling pockets, the rent is made, and so are profits. • • • For some reason or other, the Forty- second street Property Owners and Merchants' association—I'm glad I'm not a contributing member because It would be such a chore to make out the checks—also omitted Joe the Rat tlesnake Man. Joe works In a coop, which is full of rattlers. Snakes are tatooed on his cheeks and hia body Is covered with bites. He doesn't have to make a ballyhoo—his snakes do It for him with their continuous rat tling. His wife Is a midget who sings. • • • Another statistical note: An aver age of 6,000 persons a week pay a dol lar each to be hoisted to the top of the Empire State building tower. • • •*' Irvin S. Cobb was talking with a gentleman whose name is well known and who is also well known as a talk er. "Is your son going to follow in the mouth-prints of his father?" asked Cobb. And the reply Is not a matter of record. OoL O. J. Bond Passes. Col. O. J.

His body was laid to rest Tuesday afternoon in Magnolia ceme tery. Catches Large Rattlesnake. Trade Away From U. S. Montreal.—The Dominion of Canada has replaced the United States as leading exporter of leather goods to Great Britain, according to the Mont real board of trade. Aided by the preferences accorded her under the terms of trade agree ments drawn up during the imperial economic conference In }932, Canada not only has ousted the United States to a large extent from British leather markets, but also has Increased her exports to her neighbor itself, It is revealed. - ^ - Figures compiled up to March, 1933, reveal that Canada nearly tripled her leather exports to the United States during the last two years, and during the same time exported more leather goods to British markets than the United States did.
