SEEN ALONG
THE ROADSIDE
By J. M. Eleazer
Clemson Ext. Info. Specialist
Amid the broken down
shacks and gullies of an all
cotton culture, we see a new
and better one arising over
South Carolina!
It is based on grass, and clo
ver, and grain, and trees, and
cotton.
Grass, that we knew of late
but to fight it, assumes the
stature of a crop. Experiment,
field demonstration and farm
tour carry it to new acres. And
its harvest begins to yield the
returns of a major crop. Yet
we are just good started with
the enthronement of grass in
our farming.
Clover, Naiure’s benediction
to the land, is finding its place
along with grass to clothe and
enrich our acres and fortify a
livestock industry. Permanent
kinds and reseeding sorts are
thriving on our lands that have
not known clovers before.
The grain acreage has more
than doubled in the past 15
years. And when you double
what was already a major crop
you have done something.
Grain means many things in
this modern awekening. Not
only the grain itself, but its
close growing habit, the resi
due it leaves to turn under,
and the crops that follow it
the same season carry added
weight. These are lespedeza,
grain sorghum, and soybeans
principally. And they all help
further to spell out a livestock
industry.
Twenty years ago our entire
commercial livestock and poul
try business was hardly worth
mentioning. Now it thrives
and grows. Packing plants
have sprung up over the state,
Grade A dairies are found by
the hundreds and milk routes
traverse many areas. Milk
cans by the mailboxes are
common sights along many
miles of highway and cross
roads. And quality chicks and
a growing turkey business are
seen as I go about.
We have learned of late to
respect a pine tree. And where
as we used to heedlessly destroy
them by hand and fire now
we set them out by the mil
lions each winter, selectively
cut them, and we go to trouble
and expense to protect them
from fire.
And in this changing picture
over South Carolina, King Cot
ton still reigns. But in a dem
ocratic sort of way, with able
and growing subordinates. All
of which makes the farming
future here look good.
tion at Florence are the heav
iest on record for the 12 years
they have kept such records
there.
Mildew showed up on cab
bage in Lexington for the first
time.
Blue mold on tobacco was
very severe in many cases.
Mildew showed up on wheat
so bad as to practically ruin
may promising fields.
And so the story unfolds.
So it’s a fight to the finish
this year against insects and
ils at Clemson’s Pee Dee Sta-
plant diseases. It seems cer
tain that we will have more of
’em than usual. But we also
have more effective remedies
thand we used to have. So, if
we keep a close watch and
apply remedies before it is too
late, maybe we can escape with
minor damages. The troubles
and their remedies are too nu
merous to mention here. Ask
your county agent. Mr. Net
tles will try to keep him in
formed.
One must admire the persist
ence of a wild onion, if noth
ing else about it. I saw ’em
growing in heavy kudzu and
made their growth before the
strangulation took place. And
they will come back when the
season is right.
With cattle just coming to
South Carolina in appreciable
volume, it is good to meet up
with and talk to the few old
cattlemen we have.

In early March about 30 cars
of Greenville county farmers
went on a tour with County
Agent Gray to se e some of the
winter grazing in the county.
He says, “Some of the outstand
ing demonstrations were visit
ed on six farms. Some of the
grazing crops observed were
fescue and ladino, rye grass
and crimson clover, and small
grain and clover mixtures.
Many people were amazed at
the wonderful grazing seen on
these farms in late winter.”
The Commencement sermon
will be preached by Dr. John
Sandlin, Professor of Bible at
Columbia College, on Sunday
morning. May 29, at 11:15
o’clock.

barns nearing completion. With
the assistance of six veteran ag
ricultural teachers and the
Clemson Livestock Sanitary Of
fice, h e reports the testing of
close to 1,000 dairy cows for
Bangs and TB.
A mild winter usually means
a bad bug and plant disease
year, according to our W. C.
Nettles.
The truth of this is already
indicated. Army worms showed
up on grain in early April as
far up-state as Calhoun county.
Recurring broods of that pest
may now be expected along.
So we might as well keep a
look-out and have 10 percent
DDT dust ready.
