TRUCK CROP PRODUCTION IN
S. C. AND OTHER STATES UP
Athens, Ga., Dec. 20.—Truck crop
production has zoomed to an all-time
high, the marketing service of the U.
S. department of Agriculture re
ported today.
Biggest increase, was shown in
acreage for processing—which ob
servers linked directly to demands
from allied nations under the lease-
lend act—while production for fresh
marketing held or receded slightly.
Florida boosted its acreage for
early lima beans from 4,000 in 1940
to 7,000 this year, while Georgia and
South Carolina were up from 3,150
to 3,800. Despite Florida’s increase,
however, the actual yield was un
changed at 280,000 bushels. Georgia-
South Carolina went from 198,000 to
222,000 bushels.
Snap bean production also increas
ed in Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana,
Mississippi and South Carolina where
second early crop plantings went
from 23,800 to 25,600 acres. The year
yielded 1,689,000 bushels against 1,-
316,000 the previous year.
Florida production of early cab
bage dropped from 16,000 to 10,000
acres, yielding only 60,000 tons
against 112,000 in 1940, and. a slight
decrease was reflected also in Ala
bama, South Georgia, Louisiana Miss
issippi and South Carolina, where
17,500 acres were planted compared
to 17,900 last season. Yield for the
area was up, however, with 99,900
tons against 74,500 in 1940.
Production of cantaloupes in Flor
ida, Georgia, and South Carolina
jumped from 608,000 crates to 695,-
0000, although So.i .h Carolina was
the only state increa. ' ig its acreage,
and there on!:’ by 100 acres. The
entiie gain was attributable to Geor
gia, wheie the yield was 475,000
crates against 3->J,v,00 in 1910. South
Carolina was down f: >m 204,000 to
190,000.
Florida nearly doubled its acreage
planted to Iceberg lettuce—1,400
against 800 a year ago—but its yield
was off 39,000 crates, with only 105,-
000 this year against 144,000 in 1940.
Georgia had better luck, increas
ing acreage from 310 to 380, and pro
ducing 46,000 crates compared with
only 26,000 a year ago. South Caro
lina jumped from 500 to 12,000 acres,
and reported a yield of 126,000 crates
against 90,000 in 1940.
Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana, Mis
sissippi and South Carolina reported
an increase in potato acreage from
73,700 to 78,300, and a production
this year of 8,677,000 bushels com
pared to 7,299,000 a year ago.
South Carolina boosted its staw-
berry acreage from 300 to 550, and
upped the harvest of second early
berries from 24,000 to 44,000 crates.
Georgia whittled its watermelon
acreage from 66,000 to 60,000 and its
yield from 18,480,000 to 13,200,000
melons.
THE ’FLU ' ’
vVu*n your back it broka and your
eyes are blurred.
And your shin bones knock and your
tongue is furred.
And your tonsils squeak and your
hairs gets dry,
And you’re doggone sure that you’re
going to die,
But you’re skeered you won’t and
afraid you will,
Just drag to bed and have your
chill.
And pray the L-rd to see you
through,
For you’ve got the Flu, boy,
You’ve got the Flu.
When your toes curl up and your
belt goes flat,
And you’re twice as mean as a
Thomas cat,
And life is a long and dismal curse,
And your food all tastes Ijke a hard
boiled hearse,
When your lattice aches and your
head’s a buzz,
And nothing is as it ever was,
Here are my sad regrets to you—
You’ve got the Flu, boy,
You’ve got the Flu.
What is it like, this Spanish Flu?
Ask me, brother, for I’ve been
through.
It is by misery out of Despair;
It pulls your teeth and curls your
hair;
It thins your blood and brays your
bones,
And fills your craw with moans and
groans,
And sometimes, maybe you get
well,
Some call it Flu—I call it hell!
—J. P. McEvoy.
GANGSTERISM DOOMED
SISTER-IN-LAW OF NEWBERRY
RESIDENT DIES AT GREENSBORO
Mrs. Emma Johnson McDowell, 81,
a native of Edgefield county and wi
dow of W. S. McDowell and the sis
ter-in-law of J. B. McDowell of
Newberry died at the home of her
grandson, Clayborn McDowell, in
Greensboro, N. C., Friday night after
three month’s illness.
Funeral services were conducted
from Mountain Creek Baptist Church
Sunday afternoon.
Japan’s foul attack on the United
States is meeting with, and, will con
tinue to meet with, every ounce of our
strength until international gangster
ism is liquidated tor good. This
country is determined to smash th«f
lawlessness of the dictators. There
will be no compromise with it—it
must go. America and her allies are
going to put an end to the brute force
and perfidity that have menaced the
world for a decade.
In his magnificent addresa to the
American people. President Roose
velt exposed the fraud which is Jap
an and her hypocrisy as part and par.
cel of a scheme of treason to destroy
civilization. And he added, for the
benefit of tbe dictators, that we are
determined to destroy their reign of
terror and will not stop until this is
finally and fully accomplished.
Japan’s base attack upon us has
unified our people as nothing else
could have done. Moreover, it has
brought the nations of the new world
to our side with declarations of war
against the common enemy, Japan,
Germany and Italy.
We are somewhat late in making
the military preparations that are
necessary, but we will “get there.”
There can be no doubt of that. Under
President Roosevelt’s peerless lead
ership and with the help of our allies
—all striking together with all that
we have—the reign of gangsterism is
now doomed.
iHave You Noticed?
“You can tell a road-hog even in
the theater—he always takes the
arms of both seats.”
