LONG COTTON IN
CHESTERFIELD
Chesterfield has some com
munities that have ong special
ized in long staple cotton. Very
little is grown anywhere else in
the state. But there’s still an
oasis of it up there.
County Agent Willis has five
demonstrations in growing late
strains of it this year. Long
staple in cotton is a character
that has been bred into It. Re
lax a little and cotton goes back
to what it came from.
W. H. Jenkins at Clemson's
Florence station has been work
ing for years at breeding some
Sea Island cotton blood into up
land types. His work is now far
advanced and a promising strain
or two has been put out with
the growers of Chesterfield. It
is these new r strains that Willis
tries out every few’ years in dem
onstration plantings under farm
conditions.
The long staple cotton business
is a specialty that just every
body shouldn’t try. It calls for
the right lands, plenty of labor
for picking promptly, and special
knowledge about handling, drying
ginning, etc. With long cotton,
you must get a good grade, or
It won’t pay.
Hopkins says they now have 36,-
000 acres of improved perma
nent and temporary pastures
there.
The past year 21 of their
farmers qualified for the 100-
bushel corn club. The 5-point
Clemson Plan for growing corn
is being widely used there, “and
it's filling cribs,” he says.
GAME BIRDS AND FISH PONDS
IN LANCASTER
In Lancaster, 126 4-H Club
boys are enrolled in ther quail
raising project. And County
Agent Cannon tells me that these
youngsters set out 64,000 les-
pedeza bicolor plants for per
manent bird feed the past win
ter.
The number of fish ponds too
is growing fast in Lancaster.
They build ’em by the score each
year there. They serve several
purposes. They grow fish. They
| furnish water for stock. And
they are sure to grow into sour
ces of water with which farmers
will soon be wiping out droughts
at places. Your SCS man will
help you plan and construct a
pond, and your county agent has
the Clemson bulletin by Sam
Williams on buildng and main
taining farm ponds. Sam says an
acre of properly fertilized pond
will grow as many pounds of
fish in a year as a properly fer
tilized pasture will beef. And
look at the fun you’d have catch
ing ‘em!
ANDERSON DOINGS
From 260 acres'of pimento pep
pers last year, Anderson county
is putting out something like 1,-
200 acres this year, according
to County Agent Hopkins. They
are also holding community meet
ings about fall tomatoes. He
says it looks like several hund
red acres of them too this year.
You are seldom out of sight
of good pastures over Anderson.
BEEF CATTLE IN LAURENS
I wonder if Laurens county
does not lead in the purebred
beef cattle business in the state?
County Agent Cannon tells me
they have 30 breeders of register
ed Herefords an d5 of Angus cat
tle. Of the 60 bulls sold In the
recent State Hereford Breeders’
Sale, 17 w’ere furnished by Laur
ens breeders.
Charleston, and some goes to
out-of-state mills too.
For a whle we feared what the
pulpwood business would do to
the future timber supply. Much
ruinous cutting at first did! blast
many an area. But as time goes
on folks see new values In their
woodlands. And they are heed
ing more and more the advice of
the forester to selectively cut, or
at least leave seed trees. Thus
in some areas a perpetual harvest
is assured, selectively cutting a
tenth of the area each year, and
getting around every 10 years.
We are having to learn a
whole new r scheme of manage
ment for the woods, now that we
farm them Ike a crop, only we
don’t cultivate, just keep fire
out. *
LARGEST PAPER MACHINE
The world’s largest paper ma
chine is at Georgetown.
It takes over 100 car loads of
pulpwood a day to keep that
mammoth outfit running. And
the woodlands of this area sup
ply that, as well as the mill at

BOYS ARE THAT WAY
I was in strange country when
our old wood-burner left Little
Mountain, nine miles from home,
headed for Laurens, 45 miles
away. I was just riding to Laur
ens for fun. My father was the
county doctor and he got me a
pass.
Soon Newberry was reached.
I had heard my mother talk a
lot about that place. She was
raised in that section and went
to school there. There I was 26
miles from home, the farthest I
had ever been. I hung out of the
window most of the time special
ly when it was on a curve,watch
ing those drivers roll. Up the
road from Newberry I got a
cinder in my eye that bothered
me a lot and stayed there until
I got to Laurens and a man at
thq drug store put a flax seed in
and chased the thing out.
There at the Laurens depot
I saw my first coal-burning lo
comotive. It was on the C&WC.
It had a small stack, our wood-
burners had very large stacks. I
picked a piece of that hard
heavy coal up and examined it
minutely. Our charcoal was
light. It was heavy. Ours soiled
your hands a little it a lot. I put
a piece of it in my pocket and
took it back home with me. That
pocket never got clean again.
At home I showed it to the
folks. Then for years it was kept
in a tray of curious on the what
not there in the corner of the
parlor near Uncle Sandorf’s en
larged picture.
Alter I returned from that
great adventure in .the outer
world, the kids in the community
asked me many questions about
that strange land, away up there
at Laurens 54 miles from home!
By horse and buggy that was
a good two days away. By
train it was only 3 hours (18
miles an hour!). The world was
sure getting fast.
Time rolled on, and two years
ago I ate breakfast in Green
ville and supper in Spokane,
Washington! And on a Jet
plane now one could eat break
fast here, dinner on the Paci
fic coast, and then supper back
here.

550.00; it was he who introduced
the law creating the office of Serv

which. office is to see that every
