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

THE NEWBERRY SUN
FARMS AND FOLKS
By J. M. 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 . . . It’s a big
moment in the life of a one-
day old baby swan on the
water at San Antonio zoo, and
for mama stretching her long
neck to give baby encourage
ment in her solo swim.
BEST ADJUSTED SECRE
TARY . . . This radiantly hap
py young lady is Doris Dean,
22, of Pittsfield, Mass., who has
been named “Miss Best Ad
justed Secretary of 1952.”
SINGING FIND . . . Chet Allen,
12, has sky rocketed ■ to fame as
a boy soprano. The lad, a stu
dent of Columbus Boychoir, now
is signed to a Hollywood con
tract as a result of his outstand
ing work in the television op
era, “Amahl and the Night Vis
itors/*
FIRST CANDIDATE . . . 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.
A single line procession of all
the cars In the United States,
lined up bumper to bumper,
would stretch 126,000 miles. If
Russia did the same thing all of
its cars, the procession would be
only 1,900 miles long.

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,*’

Fire insurance wasn’t the big business in Grand-
maw’s day that it is today. Matter of fact there
wasn’t too much need for insurance since, that dear
old soul stayed at home most of the time and if
a blaze started simply doused it with the dishwater
or a few buckets from the well.
But how times have changed! The home today is
without occupants much of the time and that little
blaze which grandmaw handled with such ease is
free to develop into a real fire.
Of course you have already guessed the moral to
this tale and we will not bore you with a mention
it We will just slip this in though: “You will enj
that vacation more if your possessions are fijrfly
covered.”
•
A thousand or two more is just a matter of
cigarette money, and then if your house burns j^iown,
your wife will think you are some sort of genius for
being so far sighted. Get in good with tpie wife
today. Come in and see our experts—oril women
insurance and loaning money.
