THE NEWBERRY SUN FARMS l AND FOLKS By J. M. Eleazer Now on ’ ihe Farm There is not much field work on the farm for January. Of course there is wood to get to keep warm. Stovewood to cut for next summer. Ditch banks and hedge rows to clean off. Yes, a lot of piddling jobs to keep warm at. And there is a lot of figurin’ and planning to do too. For all must decide just what is to be grown this year. The outlook, how is it for what you grow? We usually take that into account in plan ning for the year. Maybe it calls for a bit more stress on this and little less on that. Yes, the average farmer is turning these things over in his mind at this season. And pretty soon he will have de cided just what will go in this field and what in that. And whether there will be any changes in the livestock and poultry on his place. Financ ing his plans for 1950 too will give him concern now. And if he gets that elsewhere, he will be seeing about that. So, when the time comes to hit the fields he will be ready. In planning for the new year, everyone might do well to con sider this. It looks like what you have to buy will be high and that what you sell will likely be a little off. Realizing this will make us cut corners wherever we can. And then whether that trend turns out or not, we will be better off by having done those things. Belter Ginning, Belter Corn Records show a vast improve ment in the quality of ginning South Carolina farmers are get ting. Bob Bailey, county agent of Richland, says one of his gin- ners, C. M. Haithcock of East- over, sponsored a cotton meet ing last fall that was attended by 400 farmers. The produc tion of quality cotton and pro per handling and ginning were discussed. Clemson’s district extension agent, A. H. Ward, lead in these discussions. Clemson’s Sam Williams is available to help ginners get the most out of their ginning equipment. A Great Crop Lespedeza has done several good things. It has put abun dant hay on many a farm that seldom had enough before. It has furnished fine summer grazing in many a pasture where the picking used to be short. It is holding our land in place as much of it has never been held before. And it has added another substantial mon ey crop to many a farm through its seed. The past year was a good one for lespedeza ( while many oth er crops were off. County Agent Kearse of Saluda tells me that B. C. Nichols and Sons harvest ed 10 tons of clean Kobe les pedeza seed from 35 acres last fall. February is the time to seed this crop. It is scattered on grain. Harrowed lightly, if the condition of the land will per mit. That helps the grain and ties the seed down a bit so they won’t float off when it rains. Many folks put their top-dressing down at the same time. I Like a Train I don’t drive fast. But I like a train, and will to catch up. It is a thrill to drive along side and watch a great locomo tive snorting along with a big load. What power it has! With smoke and fire tearing from its stack, and steam bursting from every seam, it drags a great tonnage along the glistening rails. Ever since I was a kid, I’ve wanted to ride on an engine and still do. Streamlined Diesels are rap idly replacing the snorting mon sters of the rails. And I like them too. How smoothly and majestically they glide along with great burdens! And if I’m riding, specially at night, the Diesel is far better. But I do hate to see the great moguls of the rails go. They add something that we will miss. And I’m still hoping to ride one at full speed, with a big load over a piece ©f road bed that will make it snort its For Export Repair Bring Your Radio GEO. N.

Then I would like to tell you about it. 4-H'ers Grown Up Sumter had the best kept, the cleanest and neatest live stock and poultry show at their fair last fall I had seen. And I commented on it. County Agent Bowen said: “Well, you know what accounts for that, don’t you? An old 4-H club boy of ours is in charge of each department.” • I walked on around to see who he was talking about. I Knew the man well. Joe Brog- don, who had won many 4-H club honors, county , and state, with hogs, and now a coming young dairy farmer, was in charge' of the hogs. F. M. Johnson, Jr., who had done well feeding out 4-H calves (1 state champion) and who also now farms, was in charge of the beef cattle barn. Although they overflowed facilities with fine cattle, he kept the neatest show barn I have ever seen.. No one felt like they needed evershoes on to walk in that place. And over in the poul try barn I found D. T. Kelly, Jr., in charge. He was on the state 4-H sweet potato cham pion team of a few years ago, and also learned much of poul try in his 4-H experience. And there you have an ad vanced step of 4-H. What the> learned in their club work as youngsters, they are carrying on and helping themselves and their county. The agriculture of a county and a fair can grow with that sort of backing at its disposal. Four-H work is growing there too. Assistant County Agent Alston and the home agent had over 700 of their 4-H’ers in there to the Kiwanis 4-H barbe cue that is a reward to those who have completed their year’s work.
