i V FRIDAY, JULY 13, 1951 THE NEWBERRY SUN FARMS AND FOLKS By J. M. ELEAZER Clemson Extension Information Specialist DILLON PASTURES The Dillon pasture tour visited 70 farms. Most of them were not stops, but just slowups, and pla cards mounted there told the story. It covered 140 miles of Dillon highway and byway, ac cording to County Agent Good year. Areas in improved pasture varied from one acre to 339 on the different farms. A new dignity is fast coming in South Carolina.

WEED CONTROL Weeds have always been a pest in field and sod. And they have been very bothersome in plant- beds, specially tobacco plantbeds. And for that reason it has been customary to put plantbeds on new land and to burn them by piling wood and brush heavily on them and setting it afire. In that way weeds were held down a lot. But that is expensive and not fully effective. In recent years the scientist has been looking for more effec tive methods of killing weeds in the field and in the plantbed. Ac cording to County Agent Jackson of Williamsburg they have suc ceeded at least in the latter. After checking his demonstra tion the past spring he says, “Weed control was perfect in our treated beds.’’ I won’t bother you with the de tails of the treatment here now. It is out of season, and you can get it at the right time from your county agent. PASTURE BASEBALL Returning to Clemson from the Low Country the other Saturday I stopped a while in the mid state to .watch a pasture baseball game. That brought back pleas* ant memories of the long ago, when plowboys changed from overalls to homemade baseball suits, and played down in our pasture. As a kid I had watched the break in the rail fence that was laid down to let the horses and buggies in. I took a seat on a rock there under a tree, where several farm ers with fresh overalls on, were also seated on boulders whittling. We talked and watched the game. Two had boys playing. One had a pocketfull of parched peanuts. I had already smelled ’em before he passed ’em around. I took some. They were stained with the red clay of the hills. They too tasted like old times. Those three-and-four-jointed ones that are grown in red clay just taste better to me than any other sort. I had to leave about the sev enth inning. Several of them did too. I had to be getting on up the road. They had to get home in time to feed the stock and milk the cow. The simple everyday ways of the deep country, how I like ’em! OATS ON KUDZU. Hugh Perrow of Calhoun coun ty plants oats for hay in his kud- zu field. When the oats is just right to make good hay, the kud- zu is up there running around in it too. The mixture of grain and legume makes mighty fine hay, he told me. The kudzu comes on out again after that and furnishes late sum mer and fall grazing. It comes in specially good when drought cuts the other pastures. Then in the fall he just discs it and seeds the oats there. That doesn’t seem to hurt the kudzu at all. HOW MUCH Assistant County Agent Flem ing of Florence was talking about the fine fescue and Ladino clover pasture of C. E. Smith of Olanta. “Knee-deep with lush growth” is the way he described it. And he said Mr. Smith’s idea about a pasture was this—if you want a lot of grazing use a lot of ferti lizer, and if you don’t want much grazing don’t use much fertilizer. That's the way I hear most folks with good pastures talking. And the good part about it is, they are paying off. Our pasture men, Woodle and Craven, tell me that liberal fer tilization not only produces more grazing, but the cattle like it better and it has more “suction” to it. And you don’t have to tell the cattle where the properly fer tilized part is. They will find it County Breeders Assn. Offers Sigh Grade Animals For Service By Ray M. Smith, Tech., Newberry Coop. Breeding Assn. Are daughters better than their dams? In dairy herd improvement as sociation work a sire ia termed a proved sire when the produc tion records of at least five of his unselected daughters have been compared with production records of their dams. Such com parisons may show that a sire has transmitted high, medium"or low producing ability to his daughters. To say that a sire is a proved sire, therefore, does not necessarily mean that the sire is a valuable sire; it merely means that the production records of five or more of his unselected daughters and- their dams have been compared on a uniform b&sis. The Newberry Cooperative breeding Association is proud of the fact that all of the bulls in the Clemson College Bull Stud available to Newberry are proved plus or sons of proved plus sires. This means that any farmer in Newberry County whether he owns one or one hundred cows, has available to him, service from bulls that have proved their high production transmitting abil ity. To obtain service from these outstanding bulls call 994 any week day between 8 a.m. or the Borden Milk Co. 621 on Sun days and Holidays. and graze it harder than the rest. And it stands drought better too. BOYS ARE THAT WAY Of all the delights of summer, none quite equalled a watermelon to us country kids. Dewberries, blackberries, mulberries, wild plums, and the like were all right in their season. But out in July the supreme bounty of sum mer reached us in the form of watermelons! How we watched them from the time the seed were planted!

We would never point at ’em, for the colored folks told us that would make ’em drop off. We made paths to the ones that hung on early. And even though it is only about 30 days from the blobm to the ripe melon, that seemed like an endless age to us. At about the end of three weeks we were becoming more and more eager and could hardly wait. Parents had threatened dire things if we plugged ’em. But that’s one thing we just couldn't resist. So just before anticipation reached the breaking point, we would take our knives and cut an inch square plug from the old er melons. This urge was quite vicious. Plug the first one, and it was green. Then we felt that surely the next one would show red and we could have a realiza tion of our dreams. And it would be maybe slightly pink, no good at all to eat. One and on it went. At first we got whippings for this. Next year came along and the urge was just as strong. We feared those switchings. But we had an idea. We would turn the melons over and plug them from the bottom, and then turn .them back so no one could see. But the melons promptly rotted and the examination by parents told the tale. Switchings! This urge to plug was so per sistent that we seldom had a good ripe melon. We did find a few ripe ones though. They were the volunteers in the cotton patch that came up there after the crop was laid by. Picking cotton then out during cool weather, it was a rare treat to find a little knot of a watermelon there in the grassy middles that was red and ripe clear through. A watermelon is one thing that hasn’t lost the charm of youth to me. I still thrill at every cutting. And its lush goodness is as strong as ever. It seems as we get older and are prone to get fat from eating too- much of the good things Of life, a watermelon stands alone. For it carries all of the taste appeal of the best fattening things we know. Yet one can partake his fill of its lush goodness as often as he likes and get very little from it that will add founds where you don’t want 'era? So, watermelon the chief of summer delight, I salute you! LETTER OF ADMINISTRATION STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA County Of Newberry By E. Maxcy Stone WHEREAS, B.
