FARMS
AND
FOLKS
By J. M. Eleazer
Clemson Ext. Info. Specialist
Pageland Market
It was watermelons galore
when I was at Pageland with
County Agent Willis the last
of July.
For some years that has been
growing into a melon market
ing center, and the thing was
just all over town. 'But a for
ward step has been taken by
the local folks in cooperation
with Jimmie Youngblood of
the State Marketing Commis
sion and Tom Cole of the
Clemson Extension Division of
Markets. They have built a
large concrete and steel shed.
Wlhen I was there 47 truck-
loads of melons occupied every
bit of the space under it and
27 more awaited their turn out
side. And there were 19 enor
mous trailer outfits there from
the far places that would take
every melon on the yard to
fill by the time they pulled out
that night.
They had thought of having
an auction market at first. But
Mayor J. L. Sutton, who has
been very active in fostering
this market, told me that the
farmers preferred trying an in
dividual sales arrangement first
and it seemed to be working
pretty v-ell.
The buyers circulate among
the trucks and figure with each
grower. Every now and then
you will see a truck pull out
from under the shed and go
over to one of the big trailers
and start unloading. Another
waiting truckload immediately
takes its place under the shed.
Built principally for water
melons, one can readily see this
large marketing facility grow
ing into a general produce sell
ing center. I saw several far
mers with bushel baskets of
tomatoes in addition to the ^
melons they brought. And the!
tomatoes seemed to be selling'
readily; And there were many
cantaloupes there too. Some
of the trucks practically loaded
with watermelons. Then they
put a layer of cantaloupes and
tomatoes on top. This was
specially true of the trailers
going south.
“Local interest built this
market,” said County Agent
Jake Willis, “And these inter
ested folks made use of all the
help they could get.”
There are two ways of holding a woman's hand—one of
course is in love; the other is in self-defense.
LITTLE ITEMS OF INTEREST
ABOUT FOLKS YOU KNOW
Spartanburg ,Corn
The way the corn looked
when I was with County Agent
Martin in Spartanburg in late
July, they should have a goodly
number of farmers to join the
100 Bushel Club this fall.
On high red land back of his
peach packing shed, Frank
Bush has one of the finest
fields of corn I had ever seen,
seven and a half acres of it.
“I worked this corn mostly be
fore it was planted,” said Mr.
Bush. It was subsoiled, har
rowed twice and then had the
cultipacker run over it before
it was planted. It only had
three furrows of cultivation.
And this adds up to only 4
man-hours of work per acre!
He figures that 20 bushels of
corn at present prices will pay
all costs, including fertilizfer
and rent on land. The corn
was about made when I was
there. One more good rain
would finish it. And then MPr.
Bush would have no trouble
qualifying for the 100 bushel
club this fall, was my guess.
That “New Look” is show
ing up in many corn fields in

VFW And Legion
To Assist Vets
Commander J. C. Gilmer,
Veterans of Foreign Wars Post
5968, and Commander A. P.
Parrott, American Legion Post
24, announced today that both
organizations would provide
assistance to all Newberry
County veterans next Monday
and Tuesday in filling out ap
plications for insurance refunds.
Both veterans organizations
will have representatives in the
courtroom of the county court
house all day August 29 and
August 30 with sufficient ap
plication blanks for each appli
cant.
The refund will be mailed to
each veteran who is entitled to
receive a part of his GI insur
ance payments back. But no
payments will be made unless
an application is received from
the veteran.
The dividend application con
tains eight separate questions
and the space for answers is
limited. It is suggested that
only typewritten applications
can be processed quickly and
therefore, the offer of the VFW
and Legion to perform this ser
vice is of great help to local
veterans.
Both organizations have
worked hard to expedite the
payments by the veterans ad
ministration. It is estimated
now that actual payments will
start being made in January
and be completed by spring
of next year. It is further es
timated that the average re
fund will be about $125 per
veteran, depending on the
length of time his GI insur
ance was in effect, the amount,
and the size of the premium.

At a meeting held on Mon
day afternoon, August -22nd at

NEWBERRY MILLS, INC.
NOW IN PRODUCTION
The whirr of the spindle,
clacking of the loom, brought
cheer to West Enders and the
town generally the middle of
last week when Newberry Mills
began production on about 30
looms, making print cloth and
heavy bandage cloth. The ma
chinery has been undergoing
a general overhaul during the
past several weeks and is said
to be in excellent shape. About
200 people were back on the
jobs by the last of the week,
some on three shifts and more
will be added daily as yarn
is made available' for the
looms.
The mill now has capable di
rection in Jimmie Britt and
G. B. Sessions as top men, plus
a staff cf overseers and second
hands of long experience, and
it is reasonable to hope that
the people of West End will
soon again have uninterrupted
employment
