Farm Groups Planning New County Tours A preliminary survey for a stock pond has been made on the farm of Miss Carrie Lee Folk. Miss Folk has difficulty supplying water for her 20 beef cows. It is necessary during an extended drought to pump water from the well. A properly constructed pond will alleviate this oondiiton. Edward Hawkins of the Hart ford section has completed pre paration of a meadow strip to re ceive water from terraces on about 20 acres. This meadow will be two acres in size and will be seeded to fescue at an early date. 'Another tour of the lower sec tion of the county has been plan ned. This series of tours is sponsored by the local Chamber of Commerce. Technicians of the Soil Conservation Service and the County Agents are cooperating in this endeavor. The object of these tours is to call attention to outstanding achievements of farm ers and their efforts to conserve soil and water. Anyone interested is invited to make these tours. Business men are particularly urged to become acquainted with farmer progrers, the source of much of their business transac- ii tions Farmers . throughout the county are gathering hay from sericea, alfalfa and lespedeza. They are being urged to harvest hay of lower quality than usual so as to forego a possible shortage. Among the numerous farmers in the county who have already pre- w $*• ‘GREATEST FIGHTER’ . . .

I rode with County Agent Willis there the last day of July. Melons were going out in our early area then and just coming in good up there. They will continue to ship on out into September. We visited J. H. Hendrick. Wil lis said he was one of their oldest and best growers. He was picking melons when we arrived, in the largest field of melons I’v6 ever seen, 125.3 acres. He had another field with 65.9 acres in it. He spoke in exact numbers, as you will note from those tenths of acres. I like to talk- with a man like that. He shows that he is the master of what he is doing. I noticed that Mr. Hendrick has planted mostly the Congo variety. I asked him how he liked it. He said, “I tried mighty hard not to like it, but I had to come across.” He said it was the best melon they have. It is a very good shipper, bears a lot,, and the vines will live on if you have some rain and make you a second crop of melons. The other sorts won’t generally do that. The Congo , is that new melon I’ve told you about often in the past few years. The first plant ings of it were made there and down in Allendale, Hampton, and Barnwell with seed furnished the county agents by the USDA vegetable breeding laboratory at Charleston, where it was pro duced. Enough seed to insure car- lot shipments were furnished, and that was the final test, how it shipped. Mr. Hendrick told us his stand ard fertilization for watermelons was 600 pounds of a 4-10-6 per acre. This mixture has 350 pounds of cotton seed meal per ton in it. And then he top dress es them with 100 pounds of Cal- Nitro. Over on Smith Oliver’s farm Willis showed me another melon they are trying out for the Charleston station. It only car ries a number now, 48-12. It’s a dandy, resistant to both wilt and anthracnose. It will likely be named and put on the market in 1953. Mr. Oliver planted it fol lowing melons the year before. There were no signs of disease. With the old sort of melons the crop would have certainly been a failure there from disease. It is a Garrison type melon and Mr. Oliver said it sold just as well as the Congo. This melon will be a godsend to the grower, as it’s hard to find new land for melons all the time, since the old sort require a 7-year rotation. COLUMBIA FARMERS’ MARKET Under the management of Clem- son’s Bob Martin, and with the fine new facilities the state pro vided, the Columbia Farmers’ Market is growing into a giant. On one day at the height of the season 195,739 South Carolina cantaloupes and one car from California came in. Trucks all the way from Michigan to Missis sippi were there and moved them all, along with variety loads of all sorts of seasonal produce. On another big day a total of 519 trucks paid the small fee at the gate. These were in addition to the many regular ones that had already paid and had their sticker on. Bob Martin’s records show that during July a total of 946,336 watermelons were sold at the market. And for the season he estimated they will handle 1% million. That’s over a fourth of the total commercial crop of mel ons in the state. While walking over the market with Bob, he introduced me to Ed Phillips, who said he has been selling on the market since 1930. And, of course, he liked the new facilities. He has seen it go from rain aijd mud to shelter and con crete. COOPERATION GETS THINGS Out of 15 million telephones in stalled in the United States from 1945 to 1950, I read that only 200,- 000 of them were on farms. It used to be much the same with electricity. But look now! Farm folks got together to try to do something about it, borrowed the money to build many lines, and the companies got busy and built others. And now this great boon to farm life reaches the vast majority of our farms. Likewise I see cooperatives working on telephones for the farms, even the far places. And I see the companies stretching lines at many places. So maybe the next few years will see the benefits of the telephone reach a greater proportion of our farms than > were reached during the period spoken of above. With short labor, time becomes of more value. A telephone on the average farm can sure save time and travel. Like one farmer said of irrigation, “It’s not can you afford to have it, it is if you can afford not to have it.” SOAP BOX CHAMP ...

Feagle Takes Job With Serum Firm Jim Feagle, son of Mr. and Mrs. Ray Feagle, who recent ly accepted a position with the Eastern State Serum Company in Columbia, began his new duties on Tuesday, August 26th. Jim was formerly associated with his father in the Feed and Seed business in Newberry be fore the- former sold the firm a short while ago. My earliest recollection goes back to a colored boy that came to live with us- His name was Jim Row dy. He ran away rom his home in Charleston and came to Colum bia. His father died and his mo ther married again. The step father was very lazy and lived largely from the work of the kids. Jim was made to sweep out chimneys. As . he grew he got stuck in one and it scared him very bad. So he ran away. Some colored folks took him in in Columbia, and through them he found a home with two old ladies back in the woods from our place, who needed a man to get wood, etc., for them. Jim broke his arm while living there with my daddy, the country doc tor, fixed it for him. He h£(d no thing to pay with, but promised to come and work it out when he got well. This he did and paid it • off. He liked it at our house, and came to live with us, as my daddy needed a boy to help around the place when we were small. Jim was with us several years, a trustworthy, strong, deserving youngster. Our milk cow had a half-grown bull calf. He broke that calf and planted him a crop- At lay-by time he wanted to work on the railroad and make him a little money before harvest time. He got a job on the C. N. & L. Ry. and after working a few weeks was killed on the trestle near Columbia. That came as a great shock to all, specially to me, as we all liked him, and he was so good to me. Soon a widow with a whole crowd of hungry and ragged children gave us another little ne gro boy. His name was Green Lea- part. He stayed with us until he was grown. He too went away finally to work on the railroad. For years he always came back home to our house for Christmas, and we were as glad to see him as if he had been a relative. He was a fireman when he last came and we don’t know what ever became of him. Then we had another one, Faw- ly Robinson. He was about my age, and I liked him very much. Many are the happy hours of childhood we spent together. When he got almost grown he too went away to work. That a sad day for me. .
