VETERANS CORNER
Applications for GI loans
have brought questions from
veterans. Answers to these
were obtained officially from
the Veteran’s administration and
are published in this column by
The Sun as a service to our vet
erans.
Q.—1 expect to purchase a
home under the guaranty pro
visions of the GI Bill and would
like to know if I must pay the
appraiser’s fee.
A.—Yes. Except where the
builder or sponsor requests ap
praisals before selling to a vet
eran. In other cases the ap
praiser’s fee is paid by the vet
eran and usually is from $15 to
$25.
Q.—How do I arrange to get
a loan for business purposes un
der the GI Bill?
tyieat OCct 'Home
A.—It is up to you to find a
bank, public or private lending
agency or even an individual
willing to advance the money.
Q.—I want to obtain a GI
farm loan to buy some farming
equipment. However, I don’t
live on my farm. Am I eligible

GI business loan, but was turn

another may not be.

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.
