MARTIN Radio and Television Service SALES and SERVICE BOYCE STREET Opposite County Library 24 HOUR SERVICE Telephone 311 IRRIGATION SURVEY The General Agricultural Agent’s, office of the SAL Railway has made a sort of study or sur vey of irrigation here in the Southeast. Their report concludes with this statement: “Irrigation is a MUST if farm ers are to produce profitable crops under present-day competi tion, and farmer and experimen tal results prove that irrigation PAYS.” Among other things, the report mentions irrigation of water melons, where the number of melons was increased from 225 to 625 per acre, and they came a week earlier where irrigated. And they point.out where gains of close to two hundred dollars per acre were secured on tobacco last year. And 68 percent more graz ing from Ladino-fascue pasture, and so on. These figures from other states run very close along with our results over South Carolina from irrigation in the past year or so. HERE AND THERE County Agent Bull of Abbeville says they have made several dem onstration plantings of Coastal Bermuda grass this spring. Tnat’s the improved sort that was de veloped at the Tifton, Georgia, ex periment station, you know. And Clemson’s McKennzie helped them build a weed sprayer that's being used on their pastures. Down in Allendale too County Agent Rogers reports their hav ing planted 250 acres of Coastal Bermuda grass in demonstration pasture^. - The strain of Ber muda grass has produced far more hay and grazing in the Georgia tests than the common sort. In Bamberg, County Agent Hub bard too speaks of “a large acre age of Coastal Bermuda being sprigged in.” And there most of the corn was treated with lindane and had chlordane in the fertilizer under it. Fighting under ground insects there. They were the first ones I ever saw use poison in fertilizer for wireworms. And it worked! 1 In Barnwell they were fighting field mice in the melon fields. County Agent Shelley put out 960 pounds of strychnine-treated roll ed oats with 50 farmers for that purpose. Mice eat the seed and ruin the stands. This poison ing has worked well there for years. MECHANIZATION! It looks like just about all farm work will finally be mechanized. One by one the hand jobs go, as man builds a machine to do them. We long thought that chopping and picking cotton were two jobs that would always call for the human hand. But now' we have two-row mechanical choppers, and two-row pickers. The latter ma chines do the work of 75 to 100 people! Of late I was in Florida. There I saw the ultimate in mechaniza tion. At one place I saw a farm er with five great celery harvest ers that were simply packing houses moving across the field, taking a dozen or more rows at a time, cutting, sorting, grading, washing, and packing celery at the rate of 2,700 crates a day for each machine 1'Gracious me! That looked like enough celery to sup ply the world. And for about an 8-month season that process never stops. The planting operation is equally mechanized, setting out many rows at a time. These ma chines require a batch of skilled labor. A lunch wagon visits them at noon, and privies follow them on sleds. And at another place I saw them harvesting sweet corn with a similar monster that took 18 rows at a time. Men broke the ears and pitched them onto a belt that reached out from the machine on long arms. It hustled them back and through the machine where it was sorted, trimmed, and packed. In these operations, a truck is chained to the back of the mov ing harvester. The crates of pro duce go right into these on con veyors, and the stuff never stops moving from the time it is cut until it is precooled in an icy bath, crates and all, and iced down in cars or trucks, ready to start moving to markets. So, folks, after seeing all of these and other similar cases where man has mastered power and tied it to machines that do such exacting work, I’m prepared for anything. And right now I can’t think of a common farm job that is beyond the pale of eventual mechanization. Powers at Clemson’s Edisto Station has done a lot towards adopting the machine to cotton production. And he and Park of the USDA are well on their way there towards working out the mechanization of sweet potato production. Local And Personal News Of Interest From Prosperity Mrs. Cole S.
