Tons of Beans
The oil mill at Orangeburg
crushed 1,500 tons of locally
grown soy beans the past win
ter. And the government
bought up 3,000 tons in that
area.
The new shatter resistant
sorts of soys are rapidly grow
ing into another money crop
following grain on good land.
And it’s a soil building crop,
too. For you combine the beans
off, leavin a heavy coat of rich
litter to turn under.
Sources of reliable seed may
be located through your seeds
man, your county agent, or
from County Agent O. W. Cain,
St. Matthews, S. C.
Take the "irk out of work”
Aromatic Tobacco in
Chesterfield
When I was in Chesterfield
a month ago, County Agent
Willis had stopped receiving
applications to grow Turkish
tobacco. This will be their
first year with the crop there.
They then had 50 farmers lin
ed up to grow it, and they fig
ured this was enough for prop
er supervision the first year.
Everywhere I go in the Pied
mont section, the agents tell
me of a vastly expanded Turk
ish tobacco acreage for 1950.
And Clemson’s Bob Mattison,
who is in charge of this pro
ject, has been busy all winter
discussing the growing of the
new crop with groups of inter
ested farmers that the agents
got together over the area. The
farmers growing it, and the
acreage, this year will be 10
times that of last year.
This is one crop that has no
competition from any other
area in this country. The field
is wide open for close to 100
million pounds. And consider
ing the fact that it sells up
towards a dollar a pound, it
begins to look like opportunity
number one for the small farms
of the Upper Piedmont.

SOUTHERN CHICKEN
CASSEROLE
The South and fried chicken are
synonymous where food is con
cerned, for Dixieland has been
famous for its fried chicken since
plantation days. Now from the new
South comes a delectable variation
on the fried chicken theme. It la

A new luster is coming to
our land.
Terraces are helping hold
much of it in place. And
drainage is adding a new po
tential to many an acre.
The coming of grass in its
new role has much meaning.
It holds the land in place and
opens a new frontier with live
stock.
And the benediction of trees,
a neglected and misused re
resource of the past, is coming
to many an acre.
I have seen the pattern of our
farming from the air in winter.
Many of the gullies are gone,
fish ponds dot the scene, and
the carpet of green makes a
pleasing picture below.
With the going of cheap la
bor and all-cotton, a new lus
ter is surely coming to our
land. We have much, so much,
to do yet. But go aloft and
look dov/n. Or ride the byways
a bit and see. Then we will
know that cotton’s worn acres
can be made to live again. A^d
cotton abides there too, with
new stature.
All agencies are working to
gether for this great end. I
was with the Soil Conservation
District Supervisors of the
Edgefield area the other day.
From 5 counties they came for
their semi-annual meeting. Their
agency workers were with
them. The County Agent’s of-

vice.

Long-Time Miller
The other day I stopped by to
see Mr. Jim Swygert at Ballen-
tine. He has been our Dutch
Fork miller for 55 years. The
back-waters of Lake Murray
ran him from his ancestral
home. But he carried his mill
with him when he moved out
on the highway.
As we talked, folks kept ar
riving with their sacks of corn.
All had grown out of my know
ledge, both blacks and whites.
But, when Mr. Jim told me
who they were, they remember
ed me and I them or their folks.
And we passed many pleasant

ride back from down there
with that bag of candy
would hurry away to £?et out
there in the woods. There I
would stop, to sit on a log at
a cool shady place, and grind
candy for fair. When I had
almost enough, I would get?
back on my bike, with a large
piece of the candy in my hand.
I would taper off eating, as I
paddled up the road. And by
the time I got home the stuff
had gotten to where it just
didn’t taste good. So I became
generous and gave that to the
others.
And the liking for candy has
lingered with me. I can’t pass
a candy store even now with
out shying towards it until I
pull myself back on even keel
again.

Boys Are That Way
As a kid I was strong for
candy. I believe most young
sters are. But ours haven’t
been.
One reason we kids of the
Stone Hills liked it so was
that we didn’t get too much of
it. A penny was right big piece
of money then, and we could
get a pretty fair batch of stick
or bucket candy for it on our
occasional visits to the cross
roads store.
I can well remember, as I
got bigger, I had a bicycle, ono
of the few that had been up in
there That lengthened my
range. On it I would go three
miles down the road every time
I got a piece of money to the
tiny store that Mr. George
Wihites had in the pantry on
his back porch. Once a week
he went to Columbia and
brought back a supply of that
fresh peanut brittle from Fa
gan’s Candy Kitchen. For a
