Clemson Ext. Info. 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..
Mrs. Jacob S. Wheeler is
visiting her son-irylaw and
daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Mur
ray Hughes in Lancaster.
Mrs. S. R. Merchant is visit
ing her daughter M!rs. W. T.
Givens and Mr. Givens in
Sumter.
Mrs. Mary Long of the Col
umbia City School faculty
spent the weekend at home.
Mrs. John Schumpert and
her daughter Sandra spent the
weekend with Mrs. Schumpert’s
father in Newberry.
Mr. and Mrs. Charles Cromer
of the Hartford community
spent the weekend with her
parents, Mr. and Mrs. C. B.
Schumpert.
Mrs. A. B. Mills has return
ed to Leesville after a visit
with Rev. and Mrs. J. B. Har
man.
