FARMS
AND
FOLKS
By J. M. Eleazer
Likes Upland Pastures Best
When the Buzzard Boost pow
er project came it took all oi
the bottom lands where Harold
Lumley had grown pasturage
for his dairy herd in Green
wood county.
He says he thought for the
time he'd have to go out of the*
dairy business. But his SCS
man, Johnson Craig, and his
county agent, P. M. Garvin,
came by and got to talking
about up-land pastures.
He ibedame interested, and
went to work towards getting
’em. Now he would rather
have them/ than ythe bottom
ones. The latter overflowed,
and that was always bringing
diseases and feeding troubles to
his cattle. Now he has none ot
that on his clean hills where
good grasses and clovers grow
the year around. And folks he
thinks a lot of fertilized Ber
muda grass too. It has served
him well. His 6 acres of 'al
falfa averaged 5 tone of hay
per acre last summer.
In our enthusiasm for the
new grasses and clovers, we
will do well not to forget the
old standbys. The new things
are high and we protect that
investment with high fertility.
And that’s all to the good. They
are fine and w e need them.
But let’s remember that the
old neglected plants like Ber
muda .grass, Dadiis grass, les-
pedeza (both the annual sorts
and the Serioea), burr clover,
and even crab grass, likely to
have a place in our year around
grazing prpogram. And they
too will respond mightily to the
good treatment we are getting
of a mind to razing crops
Hard Hit
There are hundreds of small
colored farmers over Charles
ton county. When I was there
in late April their agent, Julius
Amaker, told me that at least
half of their truck was taken
by the freeze of a few nights
before. He had worked with
credit agencies that had taken
care of them in pitching these
cropst Now that much of that
acreage had been taken, they
had slim finances with which
to seed other things. And
there were few cash crops that?
could be planted then. They
are putting in some lima beans,
and also some grain sorghum
with which they planned to
feed out a few hogs. Sweet
potatoes used to mean some
thing to them, but the sweet
potato weevil quarantine nips
that idea now.
UDC CHAPTER
WITH MRS. WISEMAN
The Drayton Rutherford
Chapter UDC had its lakt reg
ular meeting of the season witn
Mrs. J. E. Wiseman and Mrs.
Steve Griffith as associate hos
tess, on Tuesday aiternoon,
June 6th at four o’clock.
The president, Mrs. R. D.
Wright, presided, and led in the
salute to the Confederate flag
and ritual The minutes of the
last meeting were read and ap
proved. Twelve (members an
swered to the roll call.
Mina. McLean then read beau
tiful resolutions and memorials
to the sacred memory of two
of our chapter’s members who
had passed away this past
year, Mrs. J. B. Wheeler ami
Mrs. P. E. Scott.
Mrs. Wiseman gave a splen
did report on tne Memorial
services held at the high school
on May 10th. Mrs. Steve Grif
fith reported on the placing of
Confederate flags at the ceme
tery.
Mrs. Parr and Mrs. T. E.
Davis were appointed as dele
gates to the convention in Rich
mond, Va., in October.
Mrs. Hunter Brown had
charge of the historical program
and gave a most interesting' ac-
oount of “The Legacy of Jeffer
son Davis to the Southern Peo
ple.”
The hostesses served deli
cious refreshments of ice cream
cake and salted nuts.
Mrs. A, J. Briggs, Secty.
Mrs. R. D. Wlrighf, Pres.
cording to County Agent Mason.
And in all counties It looks
like not more acres of com but
more com per acre from a wide
adoption of the Ciemson plan
for making more and cheapen
com per acre. This has great
significance, for com means
man things.
Another Livestock Auction
Market
Every now and tjien I learn
of a new livestock market
opening up. County Agent
inompson of Hampton tells
me of a hew one at Yemassee.
livestock, dairying, and poul
try are surely on the mend in
South Carolina. And how we
do need that stuff too!
You can haul more loads...
more miles... for less...

Take time out to talk to some Chevrolet truck users. You’ll find It
discover that Chevrolet trucks pay their way by hauling
for lessl And you’ll find that this extra measure of value is 1 even more
new Chevrolet models. Definitely, they’re America’s first-choice trucks,
units feature a brand-new 105-h.p. Valve-in-Head engine with the power
heavy loads and conquer steep grades. They offer new Power-Jet
smoother, quicker operation. They bring you the fast, safe shifting of Chevrolet’s
4-speed Synchro-Mesh transmission. But whatever your
hauling requirements, Chevrolet trucks are your best bet.
See them in our showroom. You'll agree.

Grass and Livestock in York
The York county agricultural
workers sponsored 6 community
winter pasture tours. Of these,
County Agent Miller says, “On
the tours excellent pastures of
fescue and ladino were observ
ed and owners had received
good grazing all winter.”
A livestock sales facility has
been built there too by 135
farmers, who each took $100
stock.
So 'gradually the livestock de
velopment covers the state.
First comes pastures, and some
grazing and feeding demonstra
tions. Then a local sales ar
rangement. And thus we see
the beginning of a new day in
our agriculture, with livestock
along with crops. That makes
a stabl© and enduring sort of
farming.
Killing Weeds in Plant Beds
It used to be a tedious and
back-breaking job to keep the
weeds out of tobacco plant
beds.
Science has developed {a
pretty effective remedy for
that. County Agent Jackson of
Williamsburg tells me they got
from 90 to 98 percent control
of weeds in plant beds with it
the past spring. Details can be
gotten from 1 your local county
agent
Corn Interest in Berkeley
“Interest in the newer meth
ods of corn growing was stimu
lated greatly by Mr. Woodle’s
talk in early March to 175

Boys Are That Way
As kikis there was nothing we
liked 'better than ’possum hunt
ing.
A (neighbor had an old deaf
dog that was very good. We
hunted her a lot There was
just, one disadvantage,
deaf, we couldn't call nor
rect her. She knew the
and liked to hunt So she just
went and we followed. Often
we would hear her tree away
across the hills, we could just
hear her. There was* no call
ing her off, and she would stay
until we got there. And when
we got through we had to just
catch her and bring her back
with us, or let her go and come
when she would. But we didn’t
like to do that. We felt that
she would thus lose confidence
in us.
One night she treed away
down back of the schoolhousa
and we went to her. As we
neared the spot, someone said
they believed she had treed up
that giant hickory tree that
grew down there near the
spring. And sure enough she
had. As we arrived, she real
ly talked to the ’possum, bark
ing and jumping up at the
trunk of that big tree.
We hadn’t had very goodt
hunting that night, so we lit
in cutting the big hickory
down. It must have taken us
an hour to gnaw it down with,
the sort of chopping we did,
taking turns.
As usual, one of us held the
dog as the giant tree fell there
with a resounding crash. As
soon as it hit she was rearing
to get loose and into the top of
it after the 'possum. We didn’t
hear the usual scramble there,
but soon got to her with torches
in hand for light. And there
she was, holding a regular kit
ten of* a ’possum. I think she
was as disgusted as we.
Going home one of the boys
recalled the saying of old hunt
ers that the smallest ’possums
go up the largest trees.
