/ PAGE SIX Peaches Head Plentiful Food List For Southeast Section During July Peaches are ripe and plentiful supplies are now on southeastern markets. Miss Margie Davis, coun ty home demonstration agent, says that peaches, from the esti mated 13 million-bushel crop in 10 southern states, heads the USDA plentiful foods list for the Southeast for July. Such fresh vegetables as corn, snapbeans, cucumbers, etc., also will be abundant on most • mark ets, she points out. Commercial truck farms and home gardens will keep retail markets supplied throughout July. Other foods on USDA’s plenti ful foods list for July includes watermelons, cantaloups, lemons, limes, canned and frozen citrus products products, canned and frozen peas, turkeys, eggs, fresh fish, and such dairy products as cottage cheese and dry milk. Miss Davis says that according to the USDA statement stocks of canned peas are much larger than a year ago, and first-of-May holdings of frozen peas were the largest on record for that date. Egg production should at least equal that of last July. Market ings of small-sized turkeys should be heavy during the month, and there also are large stocks of turkey in commercial cold stor age, she adds. Last year, 1,962,000 Americans were injured in traffic accidents Two More “Future” Rooms A typical Early American type home and many Cape Cod characteristics. Two front dormers will provide light for at least two large bedrooms in the attic if add ed later. The first floor has a large kitchen with dining space, a large living room and two bedrooms.

ELEAZER Clemson Extension Information Specialist VERTICAL BUILDING Our population is increasing at over two million a year. At that rate, by 1975 we will need 100 million, additional acres to feed our folks. It is not likely that this much new acreage can be brought in. But there is a rem edy. Science will tell us how to get what's needed by increas ing yields. “Vertical farming” that has been called. We don’t have the labor nor the available acreage to cultivation. But we do have a vast frontier of undeveloped production on the land now in use. SWAN SOLO . . .

Dar lington Hoopes, Reading, Pa., is the first presidential candi date. He was nominated at the Socialist party's 28th national convention 2a Cleveland. This is illustrated by many ex periences. 1 was recently - at the Florida Range Cattle Experiment Station at Ona. There they have found that the native range produces 13 pounds of beef per acre in a year. When they im proved that range by clearing, liming, fertilizing, and seeding, that figure went above 200 pounds of beef per acre. And when they went one step further and ir rigated it, last year they got over 1,000 pounds of beef per acre!- By applying all the scientific know-how we have, in the past 30 years we have about doubled our average yield of cotton in South Carolina, despite the com ing of the boll weevil in the mean time. Last year at Clemson, corn made 16 bushels of nubbins per acre, it was so dry. But where some of this same corn was ir rigated just once at tasseling time, they made 72 bushels of good ears per acre! Yes, the modern way to build production is to expend vertical ly by Increasing yields rather than the old way of expanding laterally by Increasing acreage to get it Yes, science is advancing so fast that more people are being fed better now from less acre age. And all of the signs indi cate that we haven't anything like reached the limits of that yet. We have many potentials for increased yields that have not been fully employed yet. Bet ter. seed, we have gone far with that, but our plant breeders are not through. Soil building and fertilization, we are getting into the scientific handling of these, but we still have far to go, and much to learn here. And ir rigation, there we have further to go, and therefore more to bene fit from. Vertical farming, that’s what it all adds up to. More and more from the same acreage! And, with science in the saddle, promising prospects He in that direction. FALL TOMATOES Clemson Extension Circular 364 “Fall Tomatoes,** has just been revised and is available at coun ty agent offices. It suggests that the Marglobe and Rutgers FARM AND FOLKS (continued from page two) varieties be used and that they be transplanted to the field in early July. And it goes on to dis cuss the other details of growing them. Dr. Epps, down at Clem- son’s Charleston station, says that Rutgers variety will set fruit a bit better during hot weather. COASTAL BERMUDA County Agent Rogers of Allen dale says their plantings of Coast al Bermuda grass are coming along fine. He suggests at least two cultivations to give it a start on other grasses and weeds that might come there to compete with it while it*s getting started. The sprigs were planted in rows back in the early spring or late winter. TIMES CHANGE Frank Connor, friend of my Clemson days and now agricul tural agent wtlh the SAL Ry. in Florida, says it was hard to get around up there in the edge of Colleton county where his folks lived. His father told him that when the bridge was built across the river there his daddy went across and saw a man 6ver there for the first time that he had often heard calling hogs for many years. Few such barriers remain any more. There was a river two miles back of our place. I never crossed It until I went to Clem son at the age of 16, and crossed it only on the train then.

Housewives Reminded Of Amended SS Law Housewives of this area were reminded again this week about the new Social Security Law for domestic servants. “We still, re ceive many inquiries about this subject,” says Miss Martha Press- ly, Manager of the Greenwood social security office. Under this law which started in 1951, servants in private homes are now covered by social secur ity. “This is true if they work long enough for the same house hold,” Miss Pressly pointed out. “They must work for the same household on some part of 24 days in a 3-month calendar quart er. They must also make at least $50 cash wages during that per iod. Unless they meet these two requirements, that household makes no social security report on the servant,” she. said. “A servant’s work for different households cannot be combined to meet social requirements. The servant’s work in each house hold must meet* the two require ments as to days worked and wages earned,” Miss Pressly ex plained. “A few housewives In this area should have reported on their domestic workers last year, but failed to do so. Since they are several months behind with these reports, they should get in touch with our office immediately,*’ LIEUT.
