FARMS AND FOLKS
By J. M. ELEAZER
Clemson Extension Information Specialist
PEPPER. IN PICKENS
County Agent Wood of Pickens
had just delivered a million and a
half pimiento pepper plants to his
farmers when I was there the first
of May. More were expected in a
few days. They planted 500 acres,
a few acres to the farm.
Pickens and several other
counties in the area have been
growing this crop some now for
several years, and they like it. The
peppers are all taken at a fixed
price by a cannery in Georgia. The
folks in Pickens have built a re
ceiving shed there in town. There
the peppers are received and paid
for once a week during the long
summer and fall bearing season.
SUMTER TRUCK AND CHANGE
Truck is being tried in a rather
big way on some of the heavy
lowlands of Sumter that have
been drained. I went with County
Agent Bowen to the Barnett farm
where cucumbers, bell peppers,
and tomatoes were being grown
in quantity. A large hole was dug
for irrigation water. There seepage
puts a lot of water in a hole
like that. And three wells have
been hooked up to one pump that
will run continuously or so long as
needed to keep the reservoir full.
New things!
.'We find them at every turn in
South Carolina. In this way we
will find those that are suited.
I often speak of “this chang
ing agriculture.” And, man, it’s
sure changing now. Experiment
and experience are fast bringing it
about. A whole new pattern of
farming is being laid over the
state. Cotton is still there, yes,
1 HAVE never been able to go
along with the so-called office
reformers who periodically cam
paign for abolishment of Monday
mornings and Friday afternoons.
Any elected substitutes would be
just as disagreeable.
Monday morning, merely be
cause it follows Sunday on the
calendar, has long been maligned,
despised and conspired again.
How many times has the joy of
a restful, or a busy and active*
Sunday afternoon been shattered
by the mighty wail of the time-
clock slave: “If I just didn’t have
to face Monday morning!’’ So,
were we to reshuffle the days of
the week—could he face Tuesday
morning any easier if it followed
on the heels of a Sunday?
And then there is the office
“Porky” who comes in staggering
under the weight of a Friday lunoh
that would have made tfiree meals
for a normal human being. He
plops himself down with a thud
audible for miles and announces
to the world: “If I can live through
this afternoon, I should live to be
a hundred!” If he’s a gambling
man, offer 10-to-one, because he
will never make it . . . even if we
abolished Friday afternoons and
saved ’em until we had enough
to make another leap year.
The plain truth is that Monday
a.m. and Friday p.m. are nothing
more or less than that which we
allow them to be. If you wake up
with lumps on your head one Mon
day morning, they are not there
merely because it’s Monday mom—
something happened on Sunday.
You either rubbed noggins with a
hornet’s nest or got in the way of a
baseball bat.

WE MIGHT LET THIS SOAK IN
In County Agent Bowen’s* office
in Sumter I read this statement on
the wall: “I had no shoes and I
complained until I met a mam who
had no feet.”
CABBAGE, THEN AND NOW
I have long known cabbage as a
healthful food. And I like it, all
the way from sauerkraut to cole
slaw. But I didn’t know it had
medicinal qualities.
Dr. McKinlay of UCLA points
out that some doctors now recom
mend its juice as a treatment for
certain ulcers. And his research
shows that ancient people used it
as a hangover preventive, as re
ported fh the little readable publi
cation “American Cyanagrams.”
They used the whole caibbage, not
just the juice.
“It is recorded,” he states, “that
the Egyptians ate both the cab
bage and its seed to keep from
being intoxicated. And the Greek
philosopher, Aristotle, counseled i
his readers to dine well on cab
bage just before starting out for a
big evening.”
And Cato, the Roman, gave his
high-living countrymen the fol
lowing advice:
“If you wish to drink much at a
banquet, before dinner dip cab
bage in vinegar and eat much
as you wish. When you have dined,
eat five leaves.' The cabbage will
make you as fit as if you had
nothing and you can drink as
much as you will.”
And Dr. McKinlay points out
that Athenians grew cabbage
among their grape vines, believing
this would make the wine milder.
But what I like is the more use
ful aspect of cabbage, as a sub
stantial human food. One of our
uses of it in the Dutch Fork, where
STRICTLY FRESH
QARDENER in Sydney, Me.,

lost in 1953 containing $600. Seed
companies could make a fortune
if they’d bring out a strain of
1 “cabbage” like that.

Early one summer our sorghum
syrup gave out. The country store
there had just gotten in the first
we had ever seen in friction top
gallon buckets. So we took a hen
or two and swapped for a bucket
of it.
That bucket, with the tight fit
ting top, looked good to us. But
they wouldn’t let us have-it. After
being emptied, it was kept on the
kitchen shelf with flower seeds
in it.
But before the new crop of syrup
came in that fall, we had emptied
several of those buckets of syrup.
For it was a part of our daily
ration. We topped most meals off
with bread sopped in a delightful
mixture of it and fresh-churned
butter.
After other needs for buckets
had been filled, they let us have
one of them. The folks were cur
ious to know what we wanted with
it. But we wouldn’t tell. We were
afraid they wouldn’t let us have
it if we did.
What we had seen in that tight
bucket from the very first was a
steam boiler, Hke the one that
came with the thrasher each year.
We figured we could insert a
whistle In it, build a fire under it,
and blow the whistle with steam!
So the outfit was rigged up
back there behind the woodpile
I was raised, as kraut ha:s a sort
of medical angle though too. We
firmly believed “it was good for
us, raw or cooked, and was
easy on the stomach. We made it
in a barrel. Every time our moth
er went to the barrel to get a pan
ful to cook for dinner, wen went
there too. She would squeeze the
juice from a handful and give us a
ball of it about the* size of a base
ball. I never heard of it disagree
ing even with the smallest chil
dren.
And tlyre was one family that
always liked to keep a barrel of
kraut on hand for “just in case
someone got puny.”
I wonder if home kraut making
hasn’t become largely lost as of
late. Directions are carried in Ex
tension Circular 237, “Brining at
Home,” that you can get from you^
home agent or from us here at
Clemson.
Someone has said that artificial
insemination of dairy cattle is
growing faster than television.
As proof of that, in a few short
years of its growth, one out of
every five of America’s dairy
farmers are using the service.
Why is this modern breeding
method growing so fast? P. B.
Ezell, Newberry County Agent, ex
plains it this way. Oyer 15,000
cows were bred artifically to the
Clemson bull stud in 1953. Ob-
and an easy blowing whistle was
made from a cane we had gotten
down on the creek. The neighbor
ing kids all came for the great
event and we fired it up with
lightwood splinters for quick re
sults. It took a good while to heat
the water. But eventually a little
steam started coming from the
whistle. We stopped it up with
cotton as to get up enough pres
sure. In just a little while the
pressure blew the stopper out
and that whistle sounded like a
thrasher engine. Boy, we were in
our glory then! Ben suggested we
build an even bigger fire under it
and really make that whistle
scream. We did. But th$ water
boiled up into the whistle and we
only got a garbled, gurgling sound
from it. So after that, we built the
fire in moderation, and for days
on end it sounded like an old-time
peanut parcher was at work
viously a much higher class animal
can be kept in the bull stud than
is possible for the individual farm
er to own. As an example of that
he sites the following:
Two young Guernsey bulls now
in service at the Clemson stud
are? known as “Bounty” and
“Brag.” They are sired by Yellow
Creek Meadow King. He has 34
daughters which have averaged
10,018 pounds of milk per year
on official test. And, Mr. Ezell
adds, this was twice per day
milking and 305 days on test. This
sire has a four year old daughter,
which is a half sister to Bounty
and Brag, now making a sensation
al record. She milked 92.7 pounds
of milk in one day in April which
is the highest one day’s milking
ever recorded for a Guernsey Cow.
She averaged 89.2 pounds of milk
per day for the whole month of
April, which is the highest month’s
production record ever recorded
for a Guernsey cow. She is headed
for a World’s record.
Then there is Klondike Fore
most, a proven bull whose 12 test-
eld daughters have averaged 9,477
pounds of milk per year. He is
in use at the Clemson Stud.
- ‘ v
These are three examples of the
ten Guernsey bulls in the Clemson
stud from which semen is being
shipped to' Newberry County for
use by Newberry county farmers.
The Brown Swiss bull stud at
| . • j , J
Clemson is recognized ^ one of
the outstanding in the nation, ac
cording to Mr. Ezell. As an ex
ample, he calls attention to a
couple of the elite sires in that
stud. Lee’s Hill Lucky Strike,
known as “Lucky” has 11 daugh
ters tested that averaged 14,125
pounds of milk per year which
was an increase over their own
mothers of 3,072 pounds of milk
per year. “At our present blended
milk price,” observes Mr. Ezell,
“that would be better than $150
worth of milk extra per year.”
Then there Is Lee’s Hill Country
Gentleman, named Country Gentle
man after the Clemson Cotton
Bowl Champion football team. His
half sister was a world’s record 1
producer with a production of
673 pounds of milk In one year.
“Gentleman’s” grandmother, “Jan«
of Vermont," is recognized as tho
greatest dairy cow of all breeds
that ever lived.
Mr. Ezell concludes from these
facts that Newberry dairy farm
ers cannot afford “not” to use the
service ot such herd improtftn#
sires.
All the farmer has to do is calf
phone 994 or 248, Newberry Coun
ty Agents office and Newberry
Cooperative Breeding Association,
by 10:30 a.m. for service to bulla
of this character. It makes no dif
ference whether the farmer ow»*
one cow or hundreds, grade or
purebred. The service is available
to everybody who owns a cow.
