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.

NEEDS PAINT
I Was on a farm the other day
wherp . ieotton is still the thing,
ajl . by itself.
J The house needed painting bad.
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

W hat are the things you hope some
day to have in an automobile?
Is it power that rises to every challenge?
Is it the satisfied feeling of being a very
important person there at the wheel?
Is it day-long comfort and ample dimen
sions that make every trip a pleasure?
Is it the durable goodness of sound con
struction — the sturdy strength that will
outlast the years?
Well, sir, the time has come for you, to
take to heart these three words of sensible
advice—“Smart Buy’s Buick.”
Every Buick has Fireball power —an
exclusive combustion principle that makes
each drop of fuel do extra duty.
Every Buick has coil springs on all four
wheels — that add to your comfort and
never need service.*
Every Buick can be had with Dynaflow
Drive,* which lends extra smoothness to
all the miles you drive and saves wear on
tires, engine and transmission for long-
run economy.
Every Buick sparkles with added conven
iences, refinements, appointments that lift
these 1951 beauties far above the “utility”
level and make them a special joy to own.
And when it comes to price—we ask you
to compare Buick with the field. Gome
see us soon. Lots of folks are comparing
and finding there’s no buy like' a Buick.
