Cotton Then and Now
There was a time, that the
older folks can well remember,
when this state lived from cot
ton. And that was largely the
production of cotton. As time
went on the finishing or manu
facturing of cotton grew in our
midst too.
Although we don’t now live
by. cotton as we once did, it
is still our major industry by
quite a bit.
In recent years the produc
tion of cotton has declined
quite a bit in keeping with a
wise diversification that’s grow
ing. But the importance of cot
ton has not dwindled. For the
other end, manufacturer, has
•been growing here at rapid
rate.
There was a time when most
of our cotton went out of the
state for the next process that
of making it into things the
world needs. But to show how
greatly this has changed, look
at this. Last year our cotton
mills used three times as much
cotton as the state made. Of
course that was a short crop.
But normally now our mills
use up twice as much cotton
as the state makes.
Manufacturing and agricul
ture, where these two meet on
friendly and understanding
terms you have a strong situ
ation.
And it’s not just cotton man
ufacturing that has grown here.
The vast synthetic industry has
dotted the state with large
modernistic plants. They have
no mill villages. Their work
ers come from the farms and
small towns near by. All of
which is helping build a whole
some situation and stronger
state. And garment factories
are to be found in many a
small town. They too use lo
cal workers from some miles
around.
In all of this we see that
much desired goal of agricul
ture and industry working to
gether and building a better
and stroner state.
Planting Quail
A number of our counties are
trying to rebuild their game
bird populations.
I have told you of their work
in Cherokee with quail and
pheasants. If birds can be
raised and then successfully
planted out in the wilds, they
will soon know it. For Assist
ant County Agent Stone; their
forest ranger, B. T. White; and
their county delegation have
sure aided farmers there in se
curing game birds and putting
them out on their lands. Sev
eral thousand have thus reach
ed the lands of Cherokee. And
they are attempting to grow
the needed food and cover too.
Newberry too raised hun
dreds of pairs of quail and put
them out over the county. Their
game warden, Herman Wise,
was instrumental in raising
close to 3,000. Farmers applied
through County Agent Ezell for
them, and they were scattered
over the county.
This Pays Too
Our commercial hog-growing
areas have long since found
that it pays to have an early
field of corn for hogging down
If you are to have that sort,
it should be planted now, if
you have not already done so.
And hogging off a field of
oats and lespedeza will serve
you well too until com comes
in.
County agents have conduct
ed many demonstrations of this
sort. They all show that you
can make hogs a lot cheaper
that way.
J. K. Willingham, Sec’y Newberry, S. C.
It Pays
Judging from the sale of the
seed-treating material, some
years ago the bulk of the cot
ton crop in the state was plant
ed with treated seed.
A check of the sale of these
materials the past year or two
indicates that we are not treat-
in as much of our cotton plant
ing seed as we once did.
And here is where we are
making a mistake, according to
our insect and disease man,
Carl Nettles. For field tests to
no end have shown that we us
ually get better stands of
stronger plants that live and
grow off better when the seed
are properly treated before
planting.
A caution that Mr. Nettles
throws out is to make sure the
right aniount of the material is
used, and that it gets thorough
ly mixed with the seed to the
point that every seed is coated
with the dust.
Seed keep all right after treat
ing. But be careful that stock
does not eat it nor that it is

Beauty Growing
Myriads of camellias and
azaleas were shedding their
beautiful petals upon the
ground when I was down in
the Low Country in February.
They got started with them
first down there. But now we
see them coming to the gar
dens of the Mid-State and the
Up-Country.
And it is the same all over
the Southeast. Southern Ala
bama and Mississippi were sim
ply out of this world with beau
ty seven weeks ago when I
wgs there. The unusual season
caused a most unusual thing
to happen this time. Both the
camellias and the azaleas reach
ed their peak at the same time
and neither had suffered any
cold damage. And what a
wonderland of flowers resulted!
With all the plantings of
these and other flowering
plants that are now being made
yearly in the Southeast, the fu
ture is pleasing to contemplate.
Good Roads and Grass
Good Roads!
We have ’em in South Caro
lina.
I go around a lot. Have been
impressed with the fact that
good roads cover our state bet
ter than any other that I have
ridden about in.
And now the so-called “farm-
to-markqt roads” are rapidly
coming out of the mud too.
Many a dim by-road of a few
years back now looks like main
street. And others are booked
for this renovation that will
make farm life better along
them. •
Clemson was asked by our
chief highway commissioner
about a grass for holding the
road shoulders that doesn’t
have the bad features of Ber
muda. Tall fescue was sug
gested. And in each county of
the state the county agent and
local highway engineer selected
a mile of road where this grass
is being tried in its new role.
I see these as I go about, and
most of them look mighty good.
These mile-stretches of just
about . year-around green will
likely attract stray stock in the
winter when natural grazing
is scarce. We will have to
watch out about that. But
similar greenery is fast finding
its way to the prepared pas
tures over the state. And many
a farm is now getting some of
its finest grazing during the
winter months from fescue- and
the clovers.
So now maybe we won’t have
so many cattle breaking out of
the old winter exercising
grounds that we used to call
pastures to get to these green
spots by the roadside. For hun
dreds of farmers saw the won
derful winter grazing that’s
possible here on the recent
state tour to six counties in
different parts of the state.
Ana many went on their coun
ty tours too. To walk silently
into lush greenery in midwin
ter tells its own story. And
that will carry good pastures
to many additional farms by
the time the days get short
again.
Oemson’s new Extension Cir-
cular 345, “^all Fescue,” tells
the story of how to have “June
grazing in January.” It’s free
at your county agent’s office.
Boys Are That Way
In riding across Georgia the
other Sunday we saw kids at
two places out riding on trac
tors.
In one case it was a small
tractor with trailer going to
Sunday school, I imagine. For
they were dressed up and we
passed the church down the
way, with folks assembling at
10 a.m.
The other case was that after
noon in South Georgia. Three
boys were on it, just riding for
fun, it appeared.
Kids will ride.
We used to get the buggy or
road cart. Some pulled and
pushed while the others rode,
and vice versa. And, if no
buggy nor cart was available,
we rode anyway. It was the
bull yearling, if we had one
down in the pasture. . If we
didn’t, there was always pine
saplings. We would estimate
the size and try to get one I
just right, climb to the top ofi
it, start it swaying, and swing
our bodies off at the end of the
sway, holding on with our
hands. That way we could us
ually ride it to the ground.
Sometimes we failed to size
the sapling up correctly and it
would leave us dangling in
mid-air. And that’s where the
others had fun, laughing at that
one’s predicament. The remedy
was to start swinging the body
catch
again until the legs could c&w^x
hold of the trunk again and
crawl down backwards. Or if
an axe was at hand, one ot
those on the ground could give
it a resounding whack, weak
ening it near the ground. It
would then partly • split and
bend on over.
So country boys must ride.
Yes, whether it’s a tractor or a
pine tree makes little difference
with them.
