FARMS AND FOLKS

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.

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.

Wall Paper Key To Good Home Fashions
Photo—-KiUmg*r Fumitmm
Thnetero and charming is this dignified living room which gets Its
color from brilliant wall paper and its centra! point of interest from
an oval ancestral portrait. The shrimp pink 1 divan and the forest green
satin damask are set off well by the wall paper with its white ground
and natural-colored floral design. Dark brown tortoise shelf lemp
shades give an interesting accent note and the authentic Williamsbur^
table is in keeping with the traditional feeling of a livable living room.
Home Fashion Time is another reminder to take a look at the new waQ
papers and select those best suited for your room.
