Phone 736 -M. SERVICE FINANCE COMPANY 1506 Main St. Haven’t seen much of Bob Mattipon around Clemso n re cently. He has been too busy out in the fields of 6 counties where he is supervising 150 farm de monstration plantings of that new Turkish tobacco. He has several assistants out in the counties who are helping with that from the county agents’ of. fices. It is not a tedious crop to grow, but an exacting one. And that’s why they have to work very closely with new growers. J. A. Martin at the Clemson experiment station is breeding better suited strains of this to bacco for our conditions. A regular market for this new crop has been established in An derson. Last year the 25,417 pounds of this tobacco that was grown in these demonstrations brought the growers $19,062.75. Mr. Mattison looks for a produc tion of 75,000 pounds from this year’s increased planting. Next year they plan to double that. Soon it is likely that this will be a good new money crop for the upper Piedmont area. This country imports many million pounds of it—92,000,000 last year. So we have a long way to go in filling our own needs for it. Duke University and the tobacco compaines are cooperat ing fully in all of this. BEE BUZZINGS As we diversify, bees become more important in our agricul ture. It hasn’t been long that far mers have thought enough of bees to bring them in to help pollinate crops. This summer I have seen them get bees for the purpose of fertilizing their apple blossoms. At several places I saw melon and cucumiber growers get stands of bees and places them oVer their fields. And in all cas es I have seen, they thought it paid. And then the honey, that is incidental, they have that too. Prevost reminds that South ern Beekeepers meet in Green ville Nov. 12 and 13. FERTILIZING BROOM STRAW On the Burt Elam farm in Charleston county they did not get all of the intended pasture land prepared and seeded last fall. A large field of what was left had a heavy stand of ordi nary broom straw on it. County Agent Carraway suggested lim ing and fertilizing that to see what they could get out of it in the way of grazing. When I was there in mid-June it had been mowed once. It had come out and was as tender as broom straw is usually in April. They plan to either keep it grazed down or mowed, if it gets too far ahead of the cattle. The pasture specialist look for the broom straw to gradually disappear and for the bettor grasses and clover to come in there since it has been limed and is being fertilized. Or that’s what usually happens when you give a pasture proper attention. Bitterweed gradually goes under those conditions too. Bitterweed and broom straw are usually products of land that needs lime and fertility. SAVING LABOR J. W. Gruber and sons down in Dorchester have taken a lot of the human labor out of mak ing and harvesting a corn crop. In fact, they have mechanized it just about completely. They make it with a iractor outfit. They gather it with a mechanical picker that throws the ears in the wagon alongside. Up to that point the problem was to get it unloaded out of the wagons. For that they rigged up a hoist there in the driveway that goes through his barn. It simply picks the whole body up. Carries it as high as needed. There it tilts it and allows the corn to pour into cribs on ei ther side. Saving labor! He soon wan’t have anything to do. Wlho likes to work anyway, if you don’t have to? Head work saves arm work. BOYS ARE THAT WAY A few years after the first few autos pased through our Dutch Fork, a progressive friend of ours. Dr. Eargle, across the road from us got one. He was getting a bit old, al ways liked me, and let me learn to drive him around over the Stone Hills. That thrilled me to the core. He was going to Columbia one day. I had my usual spell of spring cbills and fever and could not go along that time. A jovial 200—pound cousin of mine that we all called “Rix” went with him. About 4 miles down the road a shower preceded them. The little red hill just beyond Ollie Derrick's was very slick and D. E. tried to stop when the car started to skid, as they went down it. It made a com plete flip and fell on Ollie’s rail fence, breaking 6 of the 10 rails. Cousin Rix always claimed that those rails saved their lives. In a few minutes John Green Hil ler, still an active and genial Dutch Forker until this day, came along. He helped them turn the old “T” Model over. They cranked her up, and went sputterintg on off down the rocky road to Columbia at the breath-taking speed of about 15 miles an hour. I had thought this would be my last squib about our early automobiles. But I have just thought of one more. I will tell vou that one next week. SEED DRYER The first big seed dryer I have seen was erected at Barn well early this year. It had al ready dried 250 tons of blue lu pine seed when I was there in mid-June, and was stfll very busy on them. This is a farm service that’s needed at many points over the state. All sorts of seeds often need drying to keep best. Spec ially is this so of planting seed. And for feed, certain seeds need to be dried so they won’t heat and damage. That seed dryer is just one of the many farm service enterpri ses of the Barnwell Peanut Com pany. It is managed by a mem ber of the firm, D. M. Norwood, Jr., as is each of their several branches. FORESTRY FILM SHOWN HERE Two forestry films, “Then It Happened” and “Woods and A Way” were shown last week at schools in Newberry county and before veterans groups by My ron W. Tupper of the public re lations department, state fores try commission. “Then It Happened” is a film of the destructive fire which spread over a large area of the state of Maine last year. “Woods and A Way” is a pic ture showing methods of forest management and fire protection measures. Mr. Tupper also shows come dies and a late March of Time issue. “The New South”. He is being assisted in his work by County Ranger Marvin E. Wil son.
