FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1951 THE NEWBERRY SUN FARMS AND FOLKS By J. M. ELEAZER Clemson Extension Information Specialist DRESSED TURKEY SHOW The South Carolina Turkey Federation is again sponsoring a dressed turkey show at the State Fair on October 24-26. W. B. Nesbit, extension turkey specialist, says they plan to make this year’s show the best yet. Paul Thomas of Sumter is chair man of the dressed turkey show, and the other members of the committee are W. C. Huffman of Newberry, M. A. Shillinglaw, Jr., oT Sharon, and Clemson’s Nesbit, Thaxton, and Gooding. Turkeys as a crop are making great growth in this area. And the demand for them grows. Once the public ate a little turkey at Thanksgiving and Christmas. Now the turkey is an all-season meat. I understand the turkey is the most efficient user of grain that we have. That being the case, no wonder it is growing in import ance here. Our grain acreage has doubled in 16 years and the yield per acre is up over 60 percent. So now we have more of the stuff with which to make turkeys. GREAT WEEVIL FIGHT This year has seen our most extensive boll weevil fight. Very few folks failed to use poison. In both Marlboro and Lancaster the county agents told me that they knew of only two farmers who were not using it. And in Marlboro, County Agent McLendon said they had used over two million pounds! With good weather, little poison was lost, and a good cotton crop has been made. With all of that poison being used, what assurance does the grower have that he is getting good material? That is a good question. Well, Clemson is taking care of that. Her fertilizer inspectors take samples of poison too, and they are tested at Clemson. Out of over 400 samples of poison taken over the state this season. ■v AVOID NEXT WINTER’S t’ UNCERTAINTIES BUY COAL NOW at the lowest price it will be all fear! ' VoPATSY COAL A .

Martin Phone Manager only two showed slight deficienc ies, and they were not enough to affect their killing power. So the manufacturers are giving us good materials. This inspection service is a protection to them too, with everybody toe ing the mark. TRUST NO BULL The farm accident rate is rather great. There are many hazards there. Onu of the worst is a bull. I often see a farmer taking dangerous liberties with a bull. And he assures me that there is no danger in his bull; he has had him since he was a calf. I try to impress that fellow that there is no such thing as a safe bull. He just hasn’t seen fit to try to kill you yet. Just give him time, and he usually will, when you least expect it. That’s one thing I like about artificial insemination. Then you don’t have to keep one of those troublesome killers on the farm. And aside from that, you also get better bull service that way than you can otherwise afford. Many of our counties have that service now. When they need it, they phone the county agent’s of fice and the technician takes care of it promptly. If you must keep a bull, don’t ever trust him. Keep your eye on him and have an easy climbing fence or a tree handy at all times that you are exposed to him. H SEEDING TIME Annual mixtures for grazing this winter are already mostly planted, and many of the seedings are up and looking fine. It takes early planting to get good growth before cold weather ar rives and checks it. But Clem son’s Craven reminds us that it is still not too late to get that grazing in, if you were delayed. But surely now it is a case of the sooner the better. WATER PRIORITY In the semi-arid West, where water is the valuable thing, do mestic needs, like tor towns and homes, has first priority on it. Then irrigation has second claim on it. And industrial use comes third. \ Since in vast areas domestic use and irrigation take most of it, there is little room for in dustries requiring much water there. We have undeveloped riches in our water. We speak of it as being abundant. Yet when we really get to irrigating, we will find it is not as abundant as we thought, even though it is quite ■abundant when measured by western standards. CIVIL SERVICE The Fifth Region of the U.
