KEYS TO FERTILITY
Just about everything on the
farm depends upon soil fertility.
It determines if there will be
paint on the house, and how well
the folks there can dress.
It determines the size and
model of the car that’s parked
in the yard, and how far the
book of knowledge will be open
ed to those who dwell there.
It largely determines how
bent the back of the operator is
from unresponsive toil, and
whether his hair is grey from
worry or years.
It largely marks the reach of
ambition’s lofty sweep, and d
of it condems men to a life of
lean penury and actual want.
Much of our land on which
folks must try to live does not
have this all-important fertility,
But, thanks be, intelligent man
can put it there!
We have many crops that add
fertility. Two of the chief of
these are crotalaria and lupines.
The former is a luxurious sum
mer grower and the latter is for
winter. And each has the happy
faculty of making good growth
on poor land. We can’t say this
for many of our soil building
plants.
Dave White of McBee is the
daddy of giant striata crotalaria
that has made productive lands
put of so many acres of formerly
poor sandhills. He got it years
ago from Glemson’s Sandhill Sta
tion at Pontiac. County Agent
Willis of Chesterfield s*ys,
“Seeded once and handled right,
from then on you have it.” Dave
White has a field he seeded 11.
years ago. It still comes there,
in perfect stands. When I rode
with him in June I could see a
full stand of it coming in the
grain stubble there. And in his
cotton and corn fields a stand of
it comes up after crops are laid
by, and there is his cover crop
in the middles.
Lupines do not reseed, but
they grow in the fall and early
winter, when we are not usually
using the crop land anyway.
And they will do their magic to
the soil just like crotalaria will.
It has to be seeded each fall.
County Agent SLhelley of Barn
well told me they harvested 3,-
000 tons of lupine seed the past
June. And Allendale and Hamp
ton each probably exceeded that
figure. J. W. Sanders of Kline
harvested 10,600 pounds of lupine
seed from 5 acres . The loan
value on them was $476.60. Not
a bad money crop, on top of all
of the soil building that roughage
and roots carried. You might
have poor land, but it doesn't
have to stay that way.
GUERNSEY FESTIVAL
Chester is staging its Guernsey
Festival Aug. 29-30. Show is on
the first day and sale on the
second.
Chester, “The Land of the
Guernsey,” is surely growing
with Guernseys.
The county agent estimates
that their annual sale of breeding
stock is at least $100,000. And
milk routes traverse the county.
Seventy one of their 4-H farm
boys and girls have Guernsey
heifers. And what a show they
put on when they come to the
Festival! Building for the
future there with the farm young
people interested in good cattle
and learning their vays.
PIG CHAIN
Lancaster has a 4-H pig chain.
A good pig was furnished to 10
boys scattered over the county.
Each one turned back a good pig
raised from that one. And then
this pig went to another 4-H
club member, according to Coun
ty Agent Cannon. And so the
thing rolls along, leaving good
hogs in its wake, and leaving
farm youngsters with not only
some good hogs, but with a
knowledge of how to handle them
and grow them out profitably.
PACKING SHEDS QUIET
All but a very few of the
peach packing sheds in the vast
Spartanburg area have been
tragically quiet this summer.
As spring was trying to gain
its hold, a late breath of winter
blew in and the multi-million
dollar peach crop went in a flash.
And now hundreds of farmers
have the expense of the orchards
to stand, with no harvest to
cover it with.
I don’t know how many of
them are largely dependent up
on peaches. But I am sure
many of them are leaning heav
ily on ’em. This year’s failure
impresses the importance of di
versified farming, having sever
al expected Incomes. Then when
one fails you have something be
sides an empty harvest to lean
on. And that sure makes a
fellow feel a lot more comfort
able and secure.
Diversification’s a word that’s
been preached a lot by Clemson,
and it is the key word to your
county agent’s activities in years
past. It had great meaning.
BOYS ARE THAT WAY
Summer had been awful dry
in our Stone Hills of the Dutch
Fork that summer. Our creek
had all but dried up. And there
were only some almost stagnant
little pools here and there for us
to play in. It got so bad that
parents forbade us going in it
any more until it rained.
We watched the stern blue
skies longingly for the shower
that was slow to come. The sum-
was wearing away, precious
weeks were passing, and our
rocky creek bed parched there
in the sun. Fish died in stag
nant pools, and cranes came to
eat them.
At long last, about mid-August,
the morning broke clear and hot
as usual. But soon after noon
some heartening thunderheads
grew in the west How we
watched them! Soon they blot
ted out the sun, and we could
hear distinct and growing rumb
lings. There was a crash over
head, and gusts of wind blew
dust and debris about. And in
no time the deluge came. It shift
ed and went on out towards Hil
ton, where the headwaters of
our creek lay.
Before the shower was com
pletely over and was tapering off.
we slipped out the back way for
the creek a mile away. When
we* got there it was a silent
swift monster moving down its
valley through the hills. We slip
ped shirts and overalls off before
we got there and promptly waded
in.
Hold a minute. Thia is all the
space I have. I’ll have to finish
this next week.
