THE NEWBERRY BUN
FARMS AND FOLKS
By J. M. ELEAZER
Clemson Extension Information Specialist
IT PAYS
Our insect and plant disease
man, W. C. Nettles, says: “The
small amount of money expended
on seed treatment doubtless
brings the greatest return of any
money used in crop production.’’
And he goes on to say that this
applies to both vegetable arid
field crop seeds.
The principal materials used
are Arasan, Phygon, and Sper-
gon. Your county agent and
seedsman can give particulars,
and instructions come on the
packages.
RESISTANT MELONS
Watermelon-planting time ap
proaches. In late years the old
varieties have been fast going
from the scene. They are being
replaced by a new disease-resis
tant sorts that the breeders have
brought forth.
Much of this melon improve
ment work has been done at the
USDA Vegetable Breeding Lab
oratory near Charleston. The
county agents in the commercial
melon areas cooperate with the
laboratory in trying out the new
sorts in acreage sufficient for
carlot shipments on disease- in
fested lands. The two worst
diseases of watermelons, anthrac-
nose and wilt, have been largely
conquered by breeding resistant
sorts of melons.
f The local county agents in the
melon areas can advise you about
varieties and sources of reliable
seed.
It’s only about 100 days from
the time you plant a seed un
til the melons are ripe. Hot dog!
That won’t be long now. There
is nothing just like a water
melon. And I find myself look
ing forward to midsummer,
when they abound.
LIVESTOCK MARKETS
I can well remember when
we didn’t have even one establish
ed livestock market in South
Carolina. Now we have 48. And
that’s not counting about a dozen
packing plants that also buy live
stock daily.
These markets are located in
27 different counties. And they
are so scattered over the state
that each county at least has a
market in a county adjoining it.
Heady markets form a power
ful incentive to the livestock
business. For the ease with
which we can turn a product in
to dollars largely determines our
opinion of it.
FARM VOICE
There was a time when most
of the folks in this country were
on the farms. Back during that
period the fundamentals on which
our country w r as built were work
ed out and applied. And there
was a high degree of statesman
ship in the land.
But gradually the percentage
of our folks who live on the
farms has been shrinking. Now
only about 15 percent of them
are the farm. A total of only
23 million live there, as com
pared w r ith 130 million nonfarm
folks. That’s 6.6 to 1.
With odds like that against it,
and they are widening constantly,
agriculture has got to be keen,
fair, and quite alive to hold its
own in the national picture. As
individuals, we are very weak.
But when we speak as one, the
voice of agriculture can still be
heard. And, folks, there is the
main reason w r e need farm
organizations more and more.
We have several in the nation.
Two of the strongest of them
operate in our state, the Farm
Bureau and the Grange. They
are worthy of every farmer’s sup
port.
SPRAYING FOR WEEDS
When I was in the county
agent’s office in Anderson in
mid-February there was evidence
of much activity on gain spray
ing for weeds over the county.
Most of the troublesome mustard
and thistle of the past has been
eliminated from the fields.
Now vetch is their main weed
in grain. And the spraying kills
that just as it did the thistle
and mustard. Vetch is a good
thing in its place. But its vol
unteering makes it a rather
troublesome weed in grain fields.

Queens Chapel Scene

Wedding* Rites
Miss Edna Eloise Brown and
Sgt. Wesley Smith were united
in marriage on March 2, 1952,
at 8:00 o’clock at Queen’s
Chapel. The double-ring cere
mony was performed by the Rev.
Neil E. Truesdale, pastor, in a
lovely setting of candlelight and
tall baskets of white gladioli.
Miss Sarah Truesdale, pianist,
presented a program of nuptial
music. Included in the pre
nuptial music was “O Perfect
Love” by Branby, sung by Miss
Marianna Bunger.' She also sang
“Seal Us, O Holy Spirit” by
Meredith at the conclusion of
the ceremony.
The ushers were Messrs. S. O.
Berry and Harold Berry, uncles
of the bride.
Miss Betty Berry, cousin of the
bride, dressed in a suit of navy
blue and wearing red carnations,
was the maid of honor.
The bride, who was given in
marriage by her brother, Walter
Brown, wore a lovely pink gabar
dine suit with navy accessories
and a purple orchid.
Cpl. Bill Smith, of Ft. Jackson,
S. C., and Plant City, Fla., was
the best man.
Mrs. Smith is a student at
Newberry High school and the
only daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Selwyn E. Brown.
Sgt. Smith is from Plant City,
Fla., and is now stationed at
Fort Jackson. He is the son of
Mr. and Mrs. Walter M. Smith,
of Plant City.
Immediately following the cere
mony Sgt. and Mrs. Smith left
for a wedding trip to Florida.
Out-of - town guests included
Mrs. Walter M. Smith, mother
of the groom and Mr. and Mrs.
Denver Hix, all of Plant City.
Attending from FI. Jackson were
Capt. and Mrs. Barket and Lt.
and Mrs. Albert Jones.

Two registered Jersey cows
owned by E. A. Wheeler, Little
Mountain, have been recently
classified for breed type and
dairy conformation.
The cows, Volunteer Favorite

ite, were rated Good Plus and
Very Good respectively. They

Jarnagin of the University of
Georgia, who is an official classi
fier for The American Jersey Cat

A woman whos husband had
died went to a medium who put
her into communication with her
late spouse.
“John,” said the woman, “are
you happy now?”
“I am very happy,” replied the
spirit of John.
“Are you happier than you were
on earth with me?” asked the
woman. •
“Yes,” replied the spirit. “I 'am
happier than I was on earth with
you.”
“Tell me, John, what is it like
in Heaven?” asked the woman.
“Heaven!” exclaimed John. “I’m
not in Heaven!”

Tour Of County
Farms Planned
In an' effort to sell Newberry
to Newberrians, the Agriculture
Committee of the Chamber of
Commerce is planning in coopera
tion with |he Soil Conservation
Agency several open house tours
throughout the County of Newber
ry. In addition to these tours,
the committee is planning some
outlined rides throughout the
county that will permit the people
to see some of the many improve
ments and the great progress
that has taken place in our midst.
In lining up these rides the com
mittee has secured the help of the!
Rural Mail carriers throughout
Newberry County, the County
Agent and Soil Conservation.
•As the 4-H boys and girls of
Newberry needed to raise funds
for the improvement of their
camp and as the committee would
like to see the name on every R.
F.D. Mail box in a uniform man
ner before it outlines these rides
and tours, it is backing and
supporting the 4-H boys and girls
in their efforts to sell and install
a name plate to every R.F.D. box
owner which will bear his name
on both sides and will be made
of metal.
The routes of the tours and
rides will probably be announced
in April and if possible the Agri
culture Committee would like to
see one of these name plates on
every R.F.D. box prior to the an
nouncing of these tours.

Rural Mail Boxes
Discussed At 4-H
Annual Meeting
The annual achievement meet
ing of the Newberry 4^H club
council was held at the Newber
ry Junior High School, Saturday,
March 1. One of the highlights
of the meeting was a discussion,
on rural mail boxes, led by Post
master George K. Dominick. Mr.
Dominick stressed the importance
of the proper height (48 inches
from the ground level to the bot
tom of the regular size box and
44 inches where the large box
is used). The post should be at
the rear of the box so that a
car can get closer. The box
should be level and not tilt back
ward, forward or sidewise. A mail
box should be painted only with
aluminum paint and the own
er’s name should be on the box,
he added.
A metal sign, which may be
j fastened to the top of a mail
1 box, with the name visible from
either side and which reflects
the car lights at night, was dis
played at the meeting.
The 165 4-H Club members, par
ents and 4-H Club Leaders pre
sent, voted to encourage all mail
box owners in Newberry County
to put their name on their mail
box.

1972 Woodland
Acres In Dist,
February was by far the worst
fire month in the Newberry Dis
trict since July 1, 1951, accord
ing to Melton L. Wall, District
Ranger, State Commission “of
Forestry. In the nine counties
of the Newberry District, from
July 1 through January 31, 133
forest fires burned over 985.5
acres of valuable forest lands.
During the month of February,
61 fires burned an additional 1,-
972.4 acres o* forest lands. Of
these 61 fires, 24 burned on Mon
day, February 11, with a loss of
1,559.8 acres. This was an ex
tremely bad day over the entire
state due to dry weather and
high winds.
Since March, due to its reputa
tion for high winds, is consider
ed the worst fire month of th©
year, the public is asked to be
especially careful in doing any
burning. If vou have burning to
do, be sure to have plenty of
help and burn on a calm day, late
in the afternoon, and soon after
a rain. By doing this your fire
will be easier to control, giving
less chance of escaplpg to yours
or your neighbors’ wobds.
