THE NEWBERRY SUN
Seen Along
THE
Roadside
Stopped by Clemson’s truck
station near Charleston the
other day. Asked Dr. Barnes
if he had anything good to tell
home gardeners, gaid he had,
and he told me about the
Southland tomato.
This new tomato was produc

tion. It is immune to wilt, but
not to root knot. No tomato
is. Wilt infests most gardens.
So for this tomato is suitable
for home gardens only, as it
has a rather prominent bloom
scar. This doesn’t hurt it for
home use, but does for com
mercial purposes. It is also
tolerant to late blight and other
leaf spotless diseases, accord-
int to Dr. Barnes. Seeds men
have it for the first time this
year. The station has no seed
for distribution.
And about that root knot—
was there no remedy for that,
I asked him. He said there
was. Soil treatment on a small
scale for a garden was entirely
practical and effective. Cqun-
ty Agent Alford told me that
same day that he had so treat
ed part of his garden against,
root knot. And that was t'j\’
only part he made anything on
last year. Seed stores have
the material for thus treating
soil and directions come on the
can.

The New Year meeting of
the Dogwood Garden Club was
held last Monday afternoon
with Mrs. Joe Spotts. Mrs. H.
L. Newman shared the pleas
ures of the meeting with the
membefs.
New Year symbols, snow
scenes and snow men ■ were
used as decorations. Miniature
snow men were given as fa
vors.
Mrs. W!. E. Hancock, vice
president, opened the meeting
with “A Prayer for th e New
Year.” Mrs. H. L. Sheaiy, pro
gram leader, chose for her sub
ject, “Corsages and Corsage
Making from Your Own Gar
den.” She displayed corsage
materials and a lovely corsage
of African violets to explain
her subject more effectively.
The presented the corsage to
Mrs. Harvey Montgomery. The
gleaner, Mrs. Hancock, read a
poem,* “If You We’re Busy.”
Mrs. Eddie Counts conducted
Last year Berkeley county
had six boys’ 4-H clubs with
168 members. This "year Coun- , a clever New Year contest with
ty Agent Mason has 11 clubs | the prize won by Mrs. B. C.
there with 283 members. Eight Bedenbaugh.
of those clubs have adopted
club projects in addition to the
individual ones of the mem
bers. They consist of beautifi
cation of schoolgrounds, plant
ing of a flower bed on the
campus, and developing small
parks near the schools.
The finest patch of collards
I ever saw was growing in the
garden of Mr. and Mrs. M. L.
Westbury near Grover down
in Dorchester, when I was
there the other day. They sell
in the home demonstration club
market at St. George. But the
largest of those fine heading
collards wer e truly hotel size.
It would take a small washpot
to cook one in and a multitude
of folks to eat it.
Floods had fallen there dur
ing the ‘ previous days. Even
the well was full of water. You
could easily reach it with a
dipper.
I have spoken before of the
beautiful Edisto River.
The other day I saw it in
flood, and it was beautiful then
too. Always clear, it still was.
It must come from the Sand
hills entirely. For I have nev
er seen it even murky. It was
dark, fast moving, silent water,
and abouds with fish. Swamps
keep the beaten paths back
at many places, and in its deep
est recesses it still harbors the
alligator. A few years ago I
saw ads in papers for their
hides, and many were slaugh
tered, I am told.

It is recalled that Georgia
suffered the fate of the gators
being killed out of some of its
finest' fishing streams. And the
fishing went too. Garfish, on
which gators feed heavily, in
creased and ate the game fish
out. Then the state imported
gators and planted them back
in those streams. Now they
are protected by law.
