MECHANICAL COTTON PICKING
Getting the crop harvested is
still pretty much the bottleneck
with cotton here in the Southeast.
Each year now we are seeing
heroic efforts towards mechaniz
ing it. In the Far West that has
already been largely done. I have
seen vast areas of cotton out there
that are completely mechanized.
A man never went into those
fields except on some great ma
chine. The drop planting of de-
linted seed, just the right num
ber, makes thinning unnecessary.
Pre-merge chemicals followed by
flame weeders make hoeing un
necessary. Pre-merge chemicals
followed by flame weeders make
hoeing unnecessary. Four-row out
fits do all of the cultivation. And
then they come along with fleets
of mechanical pickers and harvest
the crops.
Yes, that’s the sort of stream
lined competition we must learn
to meet, if we are to continue to
grow our part of the cotton crop.
Clemson’s Blackville Station has
been working on the full mech
anization of cotton under our con
ditions here for a good many
years. Considerable progress has
been made, believe they still find
crahgrass to he the main obstacle.
It often springs up after the cotton
is laid by and makes mechanical
picking all but impossible. The
machines will pick it, but they get
grass it it. And that is the one
sort of trash that the cleaning
mechanism at the gins has never
been able to get out very well.
The saws cut the grass up and the
particles of it mingle with the cot
ton fibers and cause endless trou
ble in the manufacturing progress.
So it looks like we will just have
to conquer crahgrass in our cot
ton before it can be satisfactorily
picked by a machine.
County agents tell me that many
machines were in operation in the
state the past season, as many as
30 or more to some counties. Rath
er general satisfaction is reported
from their use. Much custom work
was- done after owners finished
picking their own. The charge was
usually $30 per bale, which was
only about two-thirds the cost of
hand picking.
Many of our gins now have the
latest in cleaning equipment, our
gin man Sam Williams tells me,
and were able to f turn out good
samples from machine harvested
cotton.
So, when it comes to the mech
anization of cotton, it looks like
we are on our way.
PIMIENTOES IN OCONEE
A group of counties in the Up
Country is finding a pretty good
thing in their contracted pimiento
pepper acreages this year.
County Agent Morgan of Oconee
said on the first of October: “A
few farmers have already market
ed as much as 3% tons of peppers
per acre. The average yield per
acre should run from 2 1/3 to 3
BOYS ARE
THAT WAY
By J. M. ELEAZER
Last week I told you of our
driving old Kate, the tough-mouth
ed mule, to the two-seated surry
down to Cousin Jake’s for singing
lessons in the summertime. But
I didn’t get to finish with that
and tell you about the trip hack
home.
A whip made little impression on
old Kate’s tough hide. So it was
slow going all of the 6 miles down
there through the deep woods. But
on the way back. Miller had an
idea. He tied one of the Sunday
School papers he found there in
the surry to the end of the buggy
whip. The whip made no impress
ion on old Kate. So he thought he
might be able to scare her into a
trot with that paper on the end of
the whip.
We were over half way home
when he got it ready. We had
entered the big opening down
there where Dr. Eargle’s field
started. Miller dangled that loose
paper just to the side of the blinds
on old Kate’s bridle. She Immedi
ately came to life, shied a little,
and trotted a piece. That tickled
us. Then Miller gave it a good
shake,, touched one of her ears
with the papor.
Well, sir, that set her on fire!
Her sluggish nature changed. She
let out across the ditch bank, right
through Dr. Eargle’s corn field.
As that surry bounced across
those corn rows, she scattered
young’uns, boys and girls, on
every side. They were yelling and
screaming, and Miller was vainly
trying to tame her with the reins
and calm talk. Eventually she stop
ped and went to eating green
corn. But it looked like a hurri
cane had gone through that silking
corn field.
We marked that up as a promis
ing youthful idea that just didn't
work. Or did it work too well?
tons per acre. This year's crop is
the best we have ever had in this
county.” At $100 a ton, that makes
’em a good money crop. But blight
bothered bad at places. They will
sure have to watch out about that.
The agents in the other counties
where pimientos were grown
talked about the same way when
I was with them recently.
THE REMEDY FOR RATS
Cfemson’s Extension Circular
386 entitled "Warfarin Kills Rats
and Mice” is now available at your
county agent’s office. It Is the
latest thing by our Mr. Nettles on
this important subject.
Warfarin has proven to be our
most effective and least dangerous
material for killing rats and mice.
Full particulars for its use are
carried in the above circular that’s
free for the asking from your
county agent.
MONEY FOR RESEARCH
Carol Laney of Chesterfield has
practically mechanized his cotton
production. He got good results
from pre-merge weed applications,
kept his cotton clean with sizz-
weeders, and then picked it with a
machine. He feels that we must
mechanize cotton or quit with it
eventually.
He advanced an idea I hadn’t
heard. Said growers should get
together and pay 25 cents a bale
for cotton research. That would
bring in three to four million dol
lars. And with that, he v felt, es
sential research work with cotton
could be greatly stepped up, to the
great benefit of the grower.
A similar idea has already done
cotton a lot of good. It is the 10
cents a hale many ginners pay to
the National Cotton Council for
support of its essential work in
advancing and glamorizing cotton
goods.

Rev. Robert H. Harper
Christ*** Compassion foe m Needy
World.
Lasso* for November 22: Matthau
9: 35-36; Mark l: 32-34*; 1: 1-9.
\ Golden Text: I John 3: 17-18.
Christians can but feel compas
sion for a needy world if they are
true followers of their Lord and
share in his spirit For. through
out his ministry, Jesus showed
compassion toward all the needy
persons he met
my instances of his healings
are recorded in the Gospels. Mat
thew tells us how Jesus went about
all the cities and villages, teaching
In the synagogues, preaching the
gospel of the kingdom, and heal
ing all manner of diseases. And
when ha saw a multitude, on one
occasion, he was moved with com
passion for them, because they
were scattered abroad, aa sheep
having no shepherd. And on a not
able evening, when the sun did
set. in old Capernaum, the whole
city was gathered at his door, and
he healed those that were sick.
It has been said that the world
will make a beaten path to the
door of a man who builds a mouse
trap better than his fellows. When
a man renders a greater service
than that to his fellows, the world
will find him out. In the course of
time. Jesus could not be hid. though
he retired for a period of rest to
a sequestered spot on the north
eastern shore of Galilee. The mul
titude found him there, and at the
close of the day of preaching and
of healing, Jesus fed five thousand
men. beside women and children
aa he multiplied five loaves and
two fishes endlessly. The few loaves
and fishes, given into the Master’s
hands, fed a multitude. It all de
pends upon what you do with a
thing whether It has value or not
The gifts we truly make to Jesus
will take on an infinite value and
do much toward relieving the pains
of a sorrowing world.

Forestry Assistance
For Private Owners
More forestry assistance has
been provided to private woodland
owners by foresters of the S. C.
State Commission of Forestry dur
ing the past four months than dur
ing the same period last year. This
announcement was made by E. C.
Pickens, of Columbia, Assistant
State Forester in charge of forest
management work for the Com
mission.
Mr- Pickens noted that during
the past four months Commission
foresters have made woodland ex
aminations and prepared written
management reports for 311 indi
vidual properties covering 47,228
Acres of woodland. During the
same period last year woodland ex
aminations were made for 289 in
dividual properties covering 37,-
427 acres of woodland.
In addition, during the past four
months Commission foresters have
selectively marked for harvesting
6,044,178 board feet of sawtimber
and 2.991 cords of pulpwood for
123 woodland owners. This is an
increase over the same period last
year when 3,824,729 hoard feet
of sawtimber and 477 cords of
pulpwood were selectively marked
for 69 individuals.
Although the Commission at the
present time has on hand 161 re
quests for woodland examinations
and selective marking, Mr. Pick
ens stated that requests are being
handled quite promptly. The S. C.
State Commission of Forestry in
cooperation with the Clemson
College Extension Service offers
advice and assistance on manag
ing timber for maximum produc
tion, gives recommendations re-'
garding forest insect and disease
control, gives advice on selecting
suitable areas for planting trees,
advises on location of firebreaks,
and other phases of forestry. The
Commission is still accepting
orders for pine seedlings to be
delivered this winter for planting.
Anyone wanting forestry assis
tance may contact the S. C. State
Commission of Forestry, Box 357,
olumbia. Requests may also be
sent to District Foresters located
at Camden, Florence, Kingstree,
Newberry, Orangeburg, Spartan
burg and Waiterboro.
