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.
