I will continue to strive for the best interests of all the citizens of Newberry. C. A. DUFFORD SOMETHING NEW This grassland farming is some thing new. And grass as a er^p is also new with us. In the field of grasses we have just about what Nature gave us. Suppose that were true of cotton, or corn, or potatoes, or any other crop. Even the improved cottons of 4u years ago couldn't compare with those the breeders have 1 rought forth in our time. And the corn that the Indians had when white folks came here might produce one bushel where modern corns make 5 to 10. And the potato, carrot, peach, etc., of a distant day would not know its improved successor of today. Yet in the all-important field of grass, most of w-hat we have to work with is just what Nature gave us. Comparatively little of the beam of science has been turned on grass. It is reasonable to suppose that great riches for mankind lies there too. But with mostly just native grasses to work with, we are finding that, grassland farming offers real opportunities here. Yes, glass in its new role as a crop holds soil, builds it, and creates real wealth. And, as science digs in on improving it, as it has with other crops, the grass of the future is pleasing to contemplate. According to Genesis, grass was the first living thing the Al mighty brought forth on this earth. And maybe it is yet destined to play its part of first in importance with us. Grass is old on this earth. But new- with us as a crop. OPPORTUNITY Some years ago the Tenner Brothers of Charlotte came down in the rolling bleak sandhills of Chesterfield county and made ex tensive plantings of grapes, peaches, and berries for wine making. Up to recently they hauled the fruit to Charlotte, where it was made into wine. But in the last year or so they have moved part of their plant to the farm there in Chesterfield county. The other day 1 visited it with County Agejit Willis. Man, w'hat an op eration! 1 counted 24 tanks there that together hold 171,438 j gallons of the crushed fruit and > berries. \ They bottle the well-known, j "Hostess” brand of wines there.’ Here we see somebody with the know.how of a manufacturing j process coming into land thought 1 to he poor for agricultural pur- ! poses and building a big busi- 1 ness from it. County Agent Willis | has had specialists from Clem son over to help them there with production problems of disease and insect control. They were crushing tons of beautiful white grapes when we were there. They had finished with peaches, making brandy out of them. And earlier in the sea son they had run on blackberries and boysenberries. Their large plantings of scuppernongs are heavily fruited this year. They will work on them out in Sep tember when this is published. THERE AND HERE Mexico has an ancient civiliza tion that was built largely by corn. Yet 15 counties in Iowa grow more corn than that whole country does! Theirs is used largely for human food. The methods employed in most of their agriculture are as crude as during the time of Christ. I saw' them plowing with a forked tree. And many farmers did not have that. They used a forked stick. And they still grow the flinty black, blue, and red corns of antiquity. We visited the Rockerfeller Institute’s place there where they are trying to breed up something, better in the way of adapted corn. They figure that’s the way to help those folks, give them a be*tter yield ing corn. Corn culture, thought already far advanced, is improving in our country too. Hybrids brought many millions of additional bushels from the same acreage. And down here in the Southeast, where w 7 e never regarded corn so seriously in the past, we too are applying science to it. Here in South Carolina it is called ‘‘The Clemson Method.” County agents demonstrated it in all counties. It paid. And now most of the corn is grown that way. Since that was started the .yield in the state has about doubled. This vast pile that’s been add ed to our corn has great meaning when translated into livestock, dairy, and poultry products. Just look at our trend in those things and you can see the effect of that added corn. Vote for A, P. (Pete) Parrott for ALDERMAN Ward 4 Your vote and support will be appreciated. —Adv.
