Grain Tragedy
One has only to ride in any
part of South Carolina now to
know that the 1948 grain crop
is a disaster.
Less than 10 percent of the
intended acreage got in on time
last fall, due to wet weather.
And since then it has been
little if any better.
So our chance for a large
spring crop came and went,
with very little chance for get
ting it in. And, at best, spring
grain is uncertain. But it
would have been better than
nothing, as is the case on vast
acreage.
Summer grain and forage
crops thus assume new import
ance. For our barns are to be
filled with them, if anything,
on most farms ill 1948.
In this connection, think some
of grain sorghum. Talk with
neighbors who have tried it.
Ask your county agent for de
tails and varieties. It is equal
to com, stands drought better,
makes more, and grazes off
good.
The Place of Flowers
Summerville—the place of
flowers—great pines — azaleas,
wisteria, and camellias—acres
and miles of ’em!
I went there late last year.
Wisteria was shedding its pur
pose upon the ground. Rain
bows of azaleas were going out.
And the stately camellias were
dropping blooms and breaking
into growth. But then the
dogwood was staging its pag
eant. And Summerville was
still a heavenly place.
The season of beauty there is
just ahead.
Crimson Clover Seed
A farmer who grows a lot of
-crimson clover seed for sale
told me, “There is just one day
you can gather it. The day be
fore that it’s too green. And
the next day it’s all shattered
out.”
And that’s about right. Some
are cutting it a bit on the
green side and windrowing it.
Then when it dries out, they
get it with a pick-up on their
combines.
Crimson clover is really a
coming crop in this state. A few
years ago we saw little of it.
Now it is seen practically all
over the state, and specially in
the up country.
You know we have a hard
seed sort now that reseeds. I
saw a fine field of it the other
day over in Georgia that was
seeded in 1941, and it is better
now than it was then. Lime and
fertilizer have supplied what it
needs.
Early Potato Plants
Sweet potato growers in Dor
chester have put in 20 new elec
trically heated plantbeds, says
County Agent King.
Hogs and “taters” are grow
ing into major crops down
there.
Local markets for both are
a lot of help in getting ’em
grown.
Their weekly hog shipment
runs into big money. And the
platfor^ there at the station in
St. George hums in late sum
mer, fall, and early winter with
sweet potatoes.
Boys Are Thai Way ,
We never had a real bbat,
but always wanted one.
But it would not have been
of much value in our tumbling
streams of the Stone Hills.
However, there were a few
places we could have used it
that we wanted to explore.
There was the “Long Hole” be
low the mill that was deep and
still for a hundred or so yards.
And there were a few other
places we needed a boat to go.
We trie’d to make several with
rough boards and we got pine
tar all over us trying to stop
the cracks. But the things
wouldn’t even float.
The nearest thing to a boat
we ever had was floating logs.
After a big fain in the sum
mer, we rushed to the creek.
For an hour or two, it would
be a raging torrent, until it ran
down. It was then that we
would wade in, mount floating
logs, and ride ’em. This was
dangerous, but we didn’t sense
it. Logs would turn at times
and throw us off. Luckily it
didn’t happen in deep water, or
I wouldn’t , be here now. For
we were rather poor swimmers,
and couldn’t dive at all. Too
many rocks and shallow water
there to ever learn.
One afternoon about a half
dozen of us were down below
the Chapin ferry in Wateree
creek having a great time. We
rode logs right across Cousin
Ed’s corn field and could only
see a tassle or two sticking
out. On across the submerged
fence and through the pastures
our logs went, bobbing up and
down in the mad current and
with boys hanging on. The
logs piled up against the cane-
break. From there we would
fight our way out and run
back up the creek for another
ride down. The others were a
little ahead of me and just
made it to a big tree that was
coming down root first. Ben
sat on the trunk, leaned back
against some limibs, and rode
in majesty, while several others
held on, with their heads just
above water. As it left the
field it hit a large standing
tree firmly and there were
some scratched bellies, and
other parts, as they slid a bit
on that rough bark.
How country boys ever sur
vive is a mystery. An All-see
ing Eye must watch over them,
or we wouldn.’t have many men.
As Luck Would Have It
I happened along after a car
ran off of a bridge into a
swamp in the Low Country and
hurt some folks. An ambulance
was right behind it and stop
ped. Before they got the occu
pants out of the wrecked car, a
doctor drove up. And before ne
could walk down the bank to
them a highway patrolman hap
pened along and stopped too.

fant son of Mr. and Mrs. Edgar
