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.
