Specialist Increased interest in the farm outlook is a good sign. Over 350 people in Edgefield filled the court room to over flowing when they had their county outlook meeting recent ly. “Farmers were well pleased with the information present ed,” says County Agent Lloyd. Many other counties reported record attendance of farmers at their outlook meetings, too. The best thought of the coun try makes a detailed study of the outlook for the things we grow. That is all brough out at a meeting in Washington, which out economist attends. Then our Dr. Rochester breaks that down to fit us here in South Carolina. And Clem- son’s specialists take that and apply it to their different lines of work and present it at coun ty meetings. County extension workers then carry it on out to community meetings. In this way, increasing numbers of farmers are pitching crops with more knowledge of what’s ahead than has been the case in the past. “Four new types of water melon seed have been placed with farmers for field trials this year,” Sciys County Agent Thompson of Hampton. “It is hoped that the melons pro duced will be of better quality and better shippers than those we now have.” If you attend the Watermelon Festival they usually have down there in July, you will likely see some of these new melons. And, perchance, taste of them, too! And I wiU > be telling you more about ’em here out in the summer. According to my notion, the man who improves a water melon is a public benefactor indeed. But to improve on that Garrison melon we now have will he like improving on perfection itself. How I recall going by Jule Wilder’s place down in Sum ter county on a hot early Au gust day! I was tired, hungry and thirsty. He pulled a 75- pound cool Garrison melon there to the edge of the porch, whacked it open with a butch er knife, and pushed a whole half of it at me! The angels in heaven must have looked down upon Dhat scene with en vy, as I waded into that ocean of delight. Anticipation was eventually replaced by content ment, as I bogged down about half way through. And that wasn’t all. He filled the back of my car with four of those monsters that insured • some pleasant days ahead. Watermelon! One of Nature s chief delights. Sunday guests of Mr. and Mrs. L. A. Black were Mr. and Mrs. Lindsay Boozer and their son Dale of Calumbia. 'Mlrs. H. O. Hedgepath and mV. and Mrs. Bill Hedgepath of Columbia were recent guests of Mr. and Mrs. E. G. Eargle..
