Eleazer, Clemson Extension Information Specialist Portable Sawmill The sawmill is on a trailer. And the power unit is mounted on the truck that pulls it. It can be ready to move on to the next farm in 20 minutes and can afford to stop to cut as little as 3,000 feet of lumber. That’s what Clemson’s exten sion forester. Bill Barker, tells me about the outfit being oper ated in Colleton county by Ed Rouark of Walterboro. And that’s something new. It adds new importance to the farm woodland. In the past it has often been impossible for a farmer to get a little lumber cut from his woods when he needed it. The stationary mill was too far away. It did not cater to custom work. He had no way of loading and hauling his few logs. Or all of these things cost more than it came to. Yes, there were many good reasons why it was bard to thus utilize timber there on the farm for recurring needs. But this portable sawmill out fit changes all of that. It can go right there in the farmer’s back yard, pasture, or out in the woods, where the logs can be rolled to it or dragged with a set of grab hooks. And the slabs and strips too are left right there on the farm in small batches where they can be utilized for wood, bean poles, chicken coops, etc. With machinery comes better farm living just about all the way around. Questions To Ask Talking about machinery, there are many sorts, and there will be more. Clemson’s ex tension engineer, G. H. Stewart, suggests several questions to ask of a machine of any sort before you buy it. They are: Can you get parts and service for it? Is it standard and proven? Will it do the job? “Yes,” should be the well- seasoned answer to all three, if you are to get it. Pecan Information Extension Circular 301 en titled “Pecan Production and Marketing in South Carolina” is available free from your local county agent. Assistant County Agent Yar borough of Edgefield tells me that they delivered 400 pecan trees in a cooperative order re cently. A good pecan tree or so around every farm home is a good investment. They do three things—add beauty, furnish shade, and produce nuts. We need some shade around every home. Why not have the other things too that pecans carry. Pecans do well when scatter ed around with plenty of room. Out by the wood-pile, near the wash pot, and near the barn yard, they do specially well. They do best and develop into the prettiest trees when they are not crowded by any other trees. I know of one such in the Low Country that has con sistently produced from 250 to 450 pounds of nuts yearly for the past 20 years, and, at the same time, shaded a back yard like an umbrella. It has plenty of room on all sides. Alta Fescue Assistant County Agent Kin- ard of Hampton told me that Guy Thomas received good graz ing in January from his alta fescue that was seeded in Oc tober. The county agents and SCS boys put out hundreds of plant ings of this and Kentucky 31 fescue over the state last fall. Early results from these fescues look mighty encouraging. “June Continued on page Ten WANTED 100 V Men to help set up the V. F. W. Carnival. Apply Sunday 1 p. m. to Barney. College St. Ext. Show Lot.
