SEEN ALONG
THE ROADSIDE
By J. M. Eleazer
Clemson Ext. Info. Specialist
Science is coming to the aid
of cotton!
It has been doing that for a
generation. Acreage has been
reduced to less than half. Yet
science has pushed yields up
to almost double here and we
make almost as many bales as
before!
When adversity started hit
ting cotton hard with the ad
vent of the boll weevil, we
drew lines and started a battle
that’s not ended. The breed
ers gave us far superior cottons.
The experiment stations per
fected new methods. The coun
ty agents put on demonstra
tions of these. Farmers applied
the knowledge. In the last 20-
odd years these efforts have
centered in the state cotton im
provement contest.
In more recent years another
great phase of cotton has been
receiving more and more at
tention. And that’s the new
uses and the cotton products
promotion phase. The regional
laboratory at New Orleans con
centrates on cotton. I recently
told you a bit about the scope
of that, the opening of new
avenues for the use of cotton.
And I also told you a bit about
the work of the National Cot
ton Council, wherein all of
those interested in growing cot
ton and cotton seed, and their
handling, manufacture, and pro
motion, have gotten together
in one grand symphony of
scientific research and promo
tion in new fields.
Yes, with all of this ability
and power behind it, cotton has
aids with it that it did not
know in years past. And with
diversification growing on cot
ton’s lost acres, we have a bet
ter future ahead in this favor
ed spot of the Southeast.
The crop-growing contests
are helping shape a new agri
culture in South Carolina.
County Agent Bryant in Lee
county told me he had 50 far
mers entered in their county
corn contest, and 35 in the state
cotton improvement contest.
Ralph Bell, farmer of Lee
county. Is quite a fellow. He
is a man of many ideas, good
ideas. He hardly ever buys
any sort of farm machine that
he does not change an£ im
prove before he uses it. He
was early to get a mechanical
cotton picker. He has put two
improvements on it that take
out a lot of the trash. He rig
ged up an irrigation system
years ago". Has used it prof
itably on sweet potatoes and
tobacco. This year he plans to
use it on his cotton contest
field. His chicken house has
two runs. He alternates his
garden and his chickens in
them. Said he got that idea
from this column. Thanks,
Ralph.
At a number of places in
the Low Country the sweet po
tato patches of years past have
grown into large fields. This
growth centers largely around
Horry, Lee, Orangeburg, and
Dorchester counties, with con
siderable progress being noted
at other places too.
The farmer who has suitable
lands and really concentrates
on growing good potatoes finds
it a paying money crop. He
has to first forget how Jie used
to produce a patch of them for
home use. For producing qual
ity sweet potatoes for market
requires the latest methods all
the way through. These are
covered in Clemson’s new Ex
tension Circular 326, “Sweet
Potato Production in South
Carolina” by Hugh Bowers.
This publication is free from
your county agent. It carries
the latest information and pic
tures showing the various steps
in producing the right kind of
potatoes to meet market needs.
It embodies latest experiment
station findings and practical
farm experience, and it is pre
sented in brief and illustrated
form by Mr. Bowers, who is
in charge of sweet potato work
in the state.
Fertilizer was a bit late in
rolling this spring. But dur
ing the past month or six
weeks trucks carrying it to
farms have been familiar sights
on the roads.
Tax tag sales to the first of
April were 6,632.5 tons larger
than to the same period last
year, according to B. D. Cloan-
inger, head of the Fertilizer In
spection and Analysis Depart
ment of Clemson.
A total of 3,634 official sam
ples of fertilizer were taken
and analyzed by Mr. Cloan-
inger’s department. They were
taken on farms, in warehouses
and all over the state, so as to
get a fair sampling. Of these
only 30 irregular lots were
found in dealers’ warehouses
and 66 on farms.
Compounding fertilizers is a
rather exacting business. This
inspection and analysis service
is designed to help both the
producer of fertilizer and the
farmer that uses it. Its final
aim is to see that the bag of
fertilizer contains what it is
supposed to.

( THE MOST Important thing isn’t the weight of the
load, but the way in which you carry it.

in giving the proceeds of her
dance recital to the Youth Cen
ter Building fund. Approxi
mately $75 was realized for the
Youth Center and this generous
amount is very much appreci
ated.
City Countil decided Tues
day night after a period of de
liberation that it had no right
under the 1938 zoning ordi
nance, to deny J. G. Purkerson
a license to conduct an under
taking and embalming parlor
in the Mower house on Har
rington street.
Mr. Purkerson is said to
have purchased the Mower
property and was all set to
give Newberry its third fun
eral home when some of the
neighbors decided they did
not want that kind of estab
lishment in their vicinity.
Awaiting council action Mr.
Purkerson was moving around
in somewhat of a vacuum as
his undertaking had come to
an abrupt halt. Whether he
will brave the wrath of some
of the neighbors and open up
as originally planned or
whether he will seek more con
genial territory remains to be
told.
