Ray Dawkins Treasurer ; : . / FARMS AND FOLKS GRASSLAND IN GREENWOOD Many an old cotton farm of Greenwood is knowing a new glory with grass. Only a few years ago this awak ening was young, in the demon stration stage. I saw the early plantings with County Agent Gar vin and their SCS man, Johnson Craig. Now they have become widespread, and you see them along rural lanes anywhere you ride. But there are still vast un developed areas awaiting the ben ediction that grass brings to a diversified program. Last fall when I was there Garvin took me by to see Olln Warner. He was in from the fielft had had his bath, was sit ting on the porch in clean fresh overalls, and hadn’t put his socks on yet. I felt like pulling my shoes off too. I can just rest faster that way on a warm «;day. - Mr. Warner’s farming centers around the 70 head of beef cattle he has. He has all sorts of graz ing land and has learned a lot about managing it. That’s a sub ject that we all In South Caroline need to know a lot more about We have found out some remark able things about growing graz ing. - But we know very little about grazing and managing it yet, so as. to get the most out of it and take best care of it and our stock the year through. • With that many cattle on a medium-sized farm, Mr, Warner still cuts a lot of hay. He gets a good cutting from his kudzu in midseason. It comes out again and furnishes fall grazing while his winter grazing is making needed headway. A lot of John son grass comes there too, after the kudzu is cut for hay and the sun can get in while it is coming back. The grass is getting thick er there and the kudzu thinner, he says. It is IB years old. He .gells hay. But keeps a pood reserve of it for use ! f winter grazing should run low. And until we greatly improve our knowledge about management of grasslands, we had better keep that reserve of hay .or straw to tide over the blank spots In the grazing picture. But with proper management, it looks like Just about 12 months of adequate graz ing is possible here. In fact some are getting that now, even with the dry fall we had, followedT by the cold winter. But the man said the past two years' cotton crops couldn’t put it on. And he could hardly live. A little farther down the road we saw nice cattle grazing on winter pastures that had come to some of cotton’s lost acres on another farm. That man made short cotton crops too. But the cattle he had ready for market sold well. And the fescue and ladino clover seed he cut from his pastures in June “sold like gold,” he said. His house was neat and fresh with paint. And he was not worried about how he was going to pitch a crop in 1961. For most of his crops were already ^pitched. His grasslands, browned a bit by winter, were -ready to spring forth with another harvest of forage and seed. And his cattle like his grass, did not have to be planted again. He could get his cotton in all right, as much of his land was already salted down with profitable culture. LANCASTER CORN The yields of • corn farmers using the 5-point Clemson method of growing it are now getting in every county makes those of a few years ago look puny indeed. I was with County Agent Can non of Lancaster when they de livered prizes in their Farm Bureau sponsored corn contest .sometime ago. Many farmers had participated. The 16 high ones averaged 98.1 bushels per r.'Yre! And that’s as much as we used to make on many a whole fatrin. The Clemson Method, as boiled dpwn from ; experiment and ex perience, is as follows: ;-t1. Thorough soil preparation, including turning under cover crops. 2. Plant recommended, certified hybrids. ' 3. Fertilize liberally, specially with nitrogen. 4. More plants per acre. 6. Early, shallow cultivation only. This method is being widely ap plied. And we seldom see any more of that old bumblebee corn that makes from nothing up to 8 or 10 bushels per acre. Full de tails are carried in Clemson’s Circular 338, Our Corn Program in . South Carolina. Ask your county agent. More corn from the same acres has great meaning for us here. Transformed into livestock and poultry products, it is the founda tion of a diversification that’s growing.

BOYS ARE THAT WAY That first show to come to our Dutch Fork school in a covered wagon in 1902, that I’ve been telling you about here for th# past three weeks, left us in, a state of mental turmoil and con fusion. We were not ready for the Innovations it brought. Up to then at least the old folks could explain the things we saw and heard in our rugged hills and valley^ Or at least they could explain them , to the satisfaction of us children. But this show had brought things we did not understand, nor could the old folks quite explain. That slight of the hand, for instance, how did that man get a large white rabbit out of Cousin George’s wool hat? And he pull ed a silver dollar out of Cousin Mel’s ear! He borrowed a clean white handerchief from Mr. Jesse, burned a hole in it right before our eyes, put it in his magic tube, and it came out whole and unburned! All of these things puzzled us. And the explanation of what we had seen with our very eyes. That fellow was Just a “conjure man.’’ he said. The talking machine! Well, wd had the remedy for that. In the semi-darkness, there was a wo man under that table with her head in that contraption, and the music came from a music-box in there like we had seen before. Now we come po local reactions to the most wonderful thing of all that we had seen. That was the moving picture! We could dig up neither fact nor fancy as to how that fellow almost scared the daylights out of us with a Choir Singing CONTEST/ Program WANT ADS FOR SALE—Coker 100 Wilt Re sistant Cotton Seed first year from the breeder, delinted and treated for $12.60 per hundred lb. bag.
