C. OOK FOR THE COBLE GREEN OVAL m THE NEWBERRY SUN FARMS AND FOLKS By J. M. ELEAZER demean Extension Information Specialist WEED CONTROL County Agent Bailey of Rich land says: “More grain fields were free of noxious weeds this year than ever before because of the whole sale spraying with 2,4-D. Practical ly all farmers are using this method of weed control. Much spraying of pastures has also been done to control bitterweeds and other pasture weeds. Good results are being obtained.” If interested in just how this is done, your county agent has the particulars. FALL TOMATOES A material increase in. the fall tomato acreage was planned in the Spartanburg area, from what County Agent Martin told me.- The old growers planned to in crease their acreages, and many new ones have planted some. There in tLe near-mountain area, they have been doing pret ty well with this crop now for some years. Good plants are usually the problem. Dr. Garri son of Clemson got some seed treatment results on summer to mato plants that look awfully good. PASTURES IN MARION Down in the Pee Dee Extension District they have a green pas tures contest. - It has been run ning for several years and is making its mark over the area. County Agent King of Marion tells me they have 87 farmers with pastures entered in it, and each of the other counties has a goodly number too. Eighty-seven pastures in a con test! What a job to supervise and then check for the winners! And he has other crop improvement contestants too, and the 4-H con tests. Surely these county agents must be supermen to do all the things they do. For there is practically nothing in the agri cultural category that does not come their way. They are the trouble-shooters for just about everything that afflicts the farm. DYNAMITE DITCHING In York couny the farmers are doing considerable ditching with dynamite, according to Act^ ing County Agent C. H. Fant. Clemson’s M. C. McKenzie has given demonstrations of ditch ing with dynamite in most coun ties of the state, and farmers have thus learned how to do this themselves. At present it is about the cheapest way t^ do certain ditching. Now a ditch about two to three feet deep and lour to five feet wide can be blown with one row of dynamite sticks at a cost of about 20 cents per lineal foot for material and labor, according to Mr; McKenzie. This method has the added advantage of scattering the dirt and not leaving it piled along the banks, where it often serves to keep the surface water from getting in the ditch. CARRIED THE CHICKENS ALONG The folks where I was raised are hard-working, frugal people. They largely live by thrift. Their milk cow, hogs, chickens, garden, orchard, and truck patches are their forts, and they nurture and cling to them as a life raft. A cousin of mine who lives about a hundred miles away had been trying to get his widowed mother to visit him for years. But she always had excuses, like the school teacher she kept for company, her chickens, the cow, etc. She just couldn’t get off. At long last the school closed and the teacher left . The cow went dry and was turned in the pasture down on the creek bot tom. So she only had the chick ens to hold her at home. Her son visited her for a week. The last day or so he was there she heard him hammering and sawing down there back of the barn. She asked him what he was doing. He told her to just wait and see. On the afternoon be fore he was to leave he tied the large crate he had made on the back of his car. She asked him what on earth he was going to do with that. He said, “Put those chickens in it, for you are going home with me ^tomorrow.” She protested strongly, but soon weakened. That night he caught up about a dozen old hens she had, put them in the crate, and at an early hour they went buzz ing down the road, the hens cackling with excitement at their first ride. Both she and the chickens had a good visit and returned safely, having earned their keep with eggs while there. k BBrT.-r-Tr-'rFT't-rBBE-Br-x-'rE-rP'nBBii ibb ••-r ’M : " mm 'iSbir mt !S>. j’lt 'qBBii ibb (SaiSSiM Vp* JUT BBS •.SJES HORSESHOES AS SLED RUNNERS . . .

Friday, August 15, Blue Ridge Range CaUed Picturesque By J. M. ELEAZER I’ve seen many mountains. And it seems to me that ours are the most beautiful. On a June day I left the hot, sticky confines of the office. The blue mountains to the northwest were calling. In an hour I was in their delightful midst. I sought a sequestered cove 1 knew. A small clear, cool, tumbling river came from its mouth. Tluere 1 tarried, sat on a rock, and dangl ed my bare feet in the water un til they were chilled and shrunk en. Then back into the cove I stroll ed, resting at places under the jungle of rhododendron that was in bloom, Down every little draw from each side came another stream tumbling through pic turesque rapids and falls to join the large stream in the bot tom. I walked until the back of the cove was getting steep. And there in a clearing was a long- abandoned log cabin whose metal roof had saved it from complete decay. A cloud was coming up; so I sat there on the rustic porch to rest and wait. I sat on an ancient hewn board that was about *30 inches wide and still three inches thick after generations of wear and weather-, ing. I looked at the well- mortised log joints and tried to picture whose axe made those marks. The chimney was made of rocks, from between which the mud mortar had long gone. And all of the pillars under the porch had been undermined by weather ing and fallen but the one where I sat, and the rest of the porch sagged at a crazy angle. I stretched out there and was very comfortable and cool. The cloud rolled fast over the jagged crags to the south and lightning was fierce up there where the granite mixed with the cloud. In no time a dash ing shower poured over the rim into the cove and you could hard ly see for the gray curtain out side. But, with equal quickness, the fury passed, and I could hear a new roar coming from the rivulets as they raced from their little, watersheds and down the valley to the main stream. Very soon the sun was out and it was about an hour high. It was setting in the very mouth of that beauti ful cove, and the jungle of verdure sparkled like diamonds there in the great U that the mountains made. I started back down and the grass in the pasture^there was greener. Bathed in almost eternal showers (annual rainfall there often reached 100 inches) each rainfall seems to make things a little greener in that peaceful verdant wonderland. And the tinkling bell of the lead cow told me that the cattle too were heading down towards the road for the night. Next day I htul business with county agents across state. They were up to their necks in the boll weevil fight. Due to the pres sure of the grain harvest and the scarcity of labor, folks had been slow getting started on this. And conditions in many fields were critical. Cucumbers were going out and cantaloupes coming in in the Blackville area. And watermelons were sizing on the vine around Allendale, Bamberg, Barnwell, and Hampton. The truck business was nearing its finish along the coast, and the roads were heavy with vacationists. I turned in to the shore there at one place. Atlantic’s great breakers were still crashing on the beaches and fanning out in constantly changing patterns there on the smooth, firm sands. Cool, verdant mountains on one side, and ocean’s shifting sandy shores on the other, with di versity in agriculture and industry in between, that’s South Carolina f Where will you find more? Yea, as much!? The chill of mountain air and tumbling clear waters, or the fresh breezes from the soothing sea, these are in easy reach of all who abide here. NEWBERRY CREAMERY . . .
