Now is the time to place orders because of the continued demand exceeding the supply, advises C. H. Flory, State Forester. Seedlings are shipped from the Horace L. Tilghman Forest Tree Nursery at Wedgefield In Sumter County operated by the S. C. State Commission of Forestry. Ship ments are based on seedling orders on a first-come-first-served basis. Every year many hopeful forest farmers are disappointed when late orders cannot be filled. According to State Forester Flory, the ever-growing demand has been greatly stimulated by the free-seedling provision passed by the General Assembly in 1945. Its purpose was to encourage the planting of trees which would serve as living demonstrations of turning the dead weight of idle land into profitable production. The first year of this program, 1945-46, the first 5,000 trees of a landowner’s order were free on payment of shipping charges of 50 cents per thousand trees. After 4 years the program’s purpose was partially accomplished, and the number of free trees to any one landowner was reduced to 3,000 for the planting season 1949-50. The demand continued -to exceed the supply and the original intent of the General Assembly has been fulfilled after seven years. For this coming planting sea son, the winter of 1953-54, the free seedling provision has been discontinued. From now on all seedlings will be sold to land- owners at cost, $2.50 per thou sand trees f.o.b. nursery. This means that the Commission’s nursery program will be financial ly self-sustaining and South Caro lina landowners can still purchase trees at a price as low or lower than that prevailing in any state in the nation. The growing popularity of the profitable practice of planting their own idle acres has placed South Carolina 6th in the na tion, in proportion to its Size, as a tree-planting state. There are two reasons for its rise to that rank. Not only is the cost of seedlings equal to or lower than that of any other nursery, but al so the rewards of planting trees in South Carolina are equal to or higher than those of planting in any other state in the United States. Seedling orders may be placed now with teachers of Vocational Agriculture, County Agents, Soil Conservationists, County Rangers, District Foresters, or with the State Forester, Box 357, Colum bia. After the order Is placed and approved, the landowner will be notified and seedlings may be picked up at the Nursery at the f.o.b. cost of $2.50 per thousand or they will be shipped by truck or railway express at the additional shipping cost of 50c per thousand. Shipping will begin in late No vember or early December and will continue through February, according to E. C. Pickens, As sistant State Forester in charge of the Forestry Commission’s management and planting activit ies. Normally, one thousand trees should be planted per acre. Ad ditional information may be ob tained from the State Forester, Columbia. Clemson — Many f a r m e r,s especially in Piedmont counties, grow fall tomatoes to supplement their farm income. The fall crop also makes possible a longer per iod during which fresh tomatoes may be harvested' for home use Late tomatoes have become fairly popular with peach growers since most of the labor requirements for their cul&ire and harvest c6me at a fairly slack time on most peach farms. The Clemson Extension Service Is now distributing a revised edi tion of Circular 354, Fall Toma toes, which contains many helpful suggestions on varieties, plant pro duction, fertilization, cultivation, and insect and disease control of fgll tomatoes. The circular was prepared by Roy J. Ferree, A. E. Schilletter, and W. C. Nettles, Ex tension Service specialists. Copies may be obtained from county agents or from the Clemson Publi cations Department. The authors point out that growing late tomatoes is rather hazardous because of uncertain weather conditions in July, August and September. If rainfall is lack ing, low yields &pd small tomatoes result. On the other hand, heavy rainfall at unfavorable periods may cause disease damage and poor quality tomatoes. However, the coming of irrigation and better pest control methods have elimi nated or reduced many of the hazards. While both Marglobe and Rut gers varieties are recommended, it is pointed out that buyers have shown a perference for Rutgers. Neither of these varieties should be planted in fields known to be heavily infested * with Fusarium wilt. If only wilt-infested fields are available, it is suggested that growers try the Homestead var iety. Tomatoes should be transplant ed between June 28 and July 12 in fertile sandy or sandy clay loam soil which has abundant organic matter. , 4 The authors emphasize that pest control is a very important factor in profitable production of fall tomatoes, and caution that all KNOW SOUTH CAROLINA By GEORGE MacNABB CHIEF OF PUBLIC RELATIONS SOUTH CAROLINA RESEARCH, PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT BOARD EDISTO ISLAND PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH Edisto Island obtained from the Lords Proprietors to certain persons in trust for the benefit of a Presbyterian minister of Edisto Island. All the church records were destroyed during the Revolution so there is a gap in the records until the erection of the present building in 1881. .%* By order of the Confederate Gov ernment in 1861, Edisto Island was abandoned by “the whitee” and some of their loyal Negro slaves. After the war they returned to find the Island in possession of the Negroes including the Edisto Pres byterian Church. To evict these people was no easy problem to the war-impoverished returning Pres byterians. Certain expenses had to be met including the services of a lawyer to present properly an ap peal to the Federal Government. It was a struggle, but finally on the last Sabbath in the montnVof May 1866, several whites under the leadership of the Rev. William States Lee, pastor, and under es cort of the commanding officer of the post (the State was under mar tial law) and armed with the order made their way to the church. The Negroes blocked their passage and those within the church continued singing one hymn after another in order to prevent service of the order. Finally the Rev. Lee’s patience ran out, and Bible in one hand, and the other holding the order.of eviction, he announced in clear|tones, “In the name of God, and byithe author ity of the United States Govern ment I demand possession of this building”. “Your titles, sir”, said the negro preacher after(he and two of his associates had looked them over, “are clear so far as might and power can make themfao we will vacate.” So ended thi^most stirring episode in the history of this church. So today with its 60 members and 76 in its Sunday School, under the guidance of its pastor, r the Rev* W. H. Goodman, you’ll find Ediste Island Presbyterian Church stands as a symbol of solidity of Prssbyter- iznism throughout South Caroflna* This beautiful post-colonial building, erected in 1831, is said to be the oldest edifice of "uninterrupted” Presbyterianism In South Carolina. Edisto Island Presbyterian Church stands today in a grove of great oak trees overhung with moss. It is a beautiful post-colonial building erected in 1881 and has one of the most interesting histories of all our South Carolina churches. It is said to be the oldest “uninterrupted’ Presbyterian organization in South Carolina; having been instituted by Scotch Presbyterians between 1690 and 1710.
