OCONEE DOINGS
A half day spent with County
Agent Griffin of Oconee brought
me - into the living presence of
many sure signs of progress.
When I arrived I met Bill
Boozer, a fellow Dutch Porker,
who is their able SCS man, in
there talking things over with
Griffin. Bill told me they made
complete soil-saving and water-
conserving plans for 1,329 farms
In the county. And his records
showed that these plans had
been over 90 percent carried out
to date. For instance, they call-

ed for 41 fish ponds. Of these,
38 have been completed, and the
others are in process. They
called for a planned crop rotation
on 38,592 acres. To date 24,-
898 acres of that have been ac
complished. A bit over 28 thous
and acres were to be terraced, of
which almost 26 thousand have
been finished. Later we saw
these things as we rode.
Griffin said, “This county is
really going to grass.” We saw
fine pasturage at places every
where we went. And new seed-
ings were being made on an
unprecedented scale. He show-4
ed me boll weevil poisoning dem
onstrations where good cotton
was being made, while across
the road unpoisoned cotton would
hardly make enough to pick.
And Brown Swiss cattle were
seen here and there. Many of
them have brought in as a basis
for a dairy and family cow
business there in the near-moun
tain area.
And we stopped to see the
finest little apple orchard I’ve
ever seen. J» C. Lee & Son do
that fine Job on . 6 acres. They
give that orchard expert care,
and I’m sure it is good to
them. When we were there the
trees were loaded with perfect
fruit, as many as 25 bushls to the
tree. And they had size too, the
sort you’ll pay a dime apiece
for. They had packed out their
packs in bo$es. I examined their
first apples that morning, fancy
throw-outs and there was but
a handfull! No rot and not a
worm to be found!
While many have put out apple
orchards in the upper Piedmont,
only to be half handled, nelect-
ed and eventually abandoned,
these folks have shown that
not ' even famed Washington
state can grow any finer apples
than will come from this soil of
ours when diligence and intelli
gence are applied. They sprayed
12 times, for good apples are
hard to grow, according to Clem-
son’s Roy Ferree. But, grown
right, they pay off well, as prov
en by this experience of the
Lees. They said Parathion had
killed their worms and Fermate
had taken care of the diseases.
While in Griffin’s office I al
so had a chat with their Triple-A
man, J. E. Smith. Those boys
all work together, and the re
sult is a good job for the coun
ty. Smith told me the farmers
of the county have used up all of
their soil-building allowance of
$62,000, and an additional allot
ment of $5,000 was secured. It
practically all went for lime,
phosphate, and slag for pastures!
No wonder you see fine grazing
bursting from the ground at so
many places in Oconee.
Significant things! Yes that’s
what I saw at every turn in
Oconee.
CORN IN KERSHAW
AND ANDERSON
It’s the best corn crop in many
years for Kershaw, according to
County Agent McCarley. Farmers
generally are well pleased with
results from the Clemson plan
for growing corn. Its more
corn on the land, better seed,
higher fertility, and less culti
vation.
“Corn on the red uplands of
Anderson looks like river boti
toms,’’ says their agent Hop
kins. “The improved or Clem
son method of producing corn id
sure bringing results,” he says.
And from most other counties
come similar reports. This corn
awakening has great meaning
when translated into livestock.
Drought got a lot of the early
corn in the Low Country. Hub
bard says they put a lot of that
in the silos in Bamberg.
LIVESTOCK REACHES
THE MOUNTAINS
The boll weevil wrought its
early havoc in the Low Country.
So livestock got under way there
first. But it has gradually eased
on up-state. A big new live
stock market recently opened at
York. Greenville and Anderson
have ‘em for a good while, and
so has Greenwood. County Agent
Martin tells me that Spartan
burg county recently formed a
County Livestock Producers' As
sociation.
These things were in the
dream stage a few years ago.
NIGHT LIVESTOCK JUDGING
At the Greenwood Fair this
year they are to judge Angus
cattle on the night of Oct. 10
and Jerseys on the night of the
12th. That’s a new thing. Usual
ly they are judged in the day
time, when few folks are there.
Fairs have resolved themselves
mostly into night affairs. This
change will be watched with in
terest.
BOYS ARE THAT WAY
There’s still a lot of boy in
all of us. And I can see me
every day in our boy Tommy.
Bet you can too.
We like most things as they
were when we were boys.
Nothing ever tastes any better
than it did then. Seldom a^
good. One of them, with me,
has been ice cream. But in that
case I am sure it is the ice
cream that’s changed, not me.
A few years ago I went by
Ryan White’s in Sumter county.
They had just made a great
churn full* of ice cream as it
used to be. Eggs, cream, and
good makin’s went into that.
No powders, gelatin, corn starch,
nor the like. Mrs. White set a
great saucer piled with a moun
tain of that delight before each
of us on that hot afternoon.
The following moments were
pure bliss. We finished, and
Ryan called for seconds. I de
murred a bit, but not too strong,
and she piled it up again. Then
she brought out a Jar of home
made strawberry preserves and
said they liked that on it at
times. So we piled it on the
peak and let it cascade down the
sides in irresistible pink streaks.
When we finished, it still tasted
good. But we just couldn’t hold
any more. "v
The past spring I thought
about that experience. And I
had tired of much of the bought
sort that’s so puffed up and
propped up with subsitutes that
it won’t even melt. So we
bought us an old-time hand freez
er. We made the divine stuff
and put several freezings each
time in our home freezer, where
it kept without getting icy. Soon
I weighed. Had gone to ex
actly 200 pounds! And, folks,
that’s the weight of a sack of
guano. That’s too much to be
carrying around. My breath got
short and my clothes wouldn’t
fit. So I went on a mild diet,
starved myself away from so
much of that real ice cream, and
now I’m down to my usual 182,
Gracious, I had started out to
tell you an ice cream tele of boy
hood, and look where I've stray
ed. I’ll tell you that next week.
