PAGE SIX THE DEWBERRY SUN THURSDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1954 FARMS AND FOLKS By J. M. ELEAZER Clemson Extension Information Specialist THIS! County Agent D. A. Shelley of Pwnwell reports for August: “R. D. Dyches, Blackville, re- r—tlr cut 696 bales of hay, mvoraging 50 pounds each, from a l#-acre field of second-year Coast al Bermuda grass. This field was fyased rather heavily early in the »er and then cut for hay 23. This is a yield of 3,480 Is or 1 3/4 tons per acre. Mr. says that if it had not for this Coastal Bermuda he would have been with- hay or pasture this year, and Id have had to sell his cat- They are now sleek and fat {early September). Vtolks, that’s the grass Hugh TTeodle says it would be hard to encser&te. There are many records like the above. Yes, de- the disastrous drought on things. One farmer told me Coastal Bermuda was his irriga tion. Well, it does look as though It can go away down and get the water from somewhere. I once asked Dr. Glenn Burton, Its originator, if Coastal Bermuda woeld benefit from irrigation. He ealtf he had never tried it. But from the yields he had gotten with It even on the driest years, he donbted that it would. Well, that’s the first crop I ever saw like that. And if it continues to work out that way, it will sure be a Godsend to us. Practically all counties have certified patches of this great grass. The experts urge that none bat the best grass be used for aprigging new areas. For all Ber- mnda is not Coastal. And all so called Coastal is not pure. Spring and early summer are the plant ing seasons. Ask your county agent for particulars. TIDINGS FROM BEAUFORT Comity Agent Johnson of Beau fort had this to say in his August "Plans are being made for new wells for additional irrigation. Seven irrigation systems were ■sed during the past month to try to obtain germination for truck crop seeds. Four new ponds are being dug as reservoirs for irriga tion water.” THAT CHARLESTON GRAY MELON I ate some of those Charleston Gray watermelons groWn in Chest erfield. They were simply the best I’ve ever eaten. I've been telling you about this great new melon for several years now. County Agent Jake Willis up there has been working closely with Mr. Andrus, who originated it down at the USDA laboratory near Char leston. Jake tested it out on Chest erfield farms for him. And I be lieve Abrams in Barnwell and Thompson in Hampton did like wise. In his August report, Jake has this to say: “The Charleston Gray (51-27) watermelon has been in big de mand at the Pageland market this year. Buyers who had handled it before were willing to pay a premium for it. The 20 producers who were furnished seed on a small trial basis this year were well pleased with the yield, an- thracnose and wilt resistance, and freedom from hollow heart and gourdneck. Other varieties of mel ons sunburned considerably this summer while the Charleston Gray did not.” Seed, in limited supply, of this great melon, will be on sale for the first time the coming year. Watch out for ’em. We melon lovers have a treat coming. SAVING MONEY A 4-H Club boy saved his dad $10 an acre on his cotton crop the past season. It was this way, according to the dad. The boy learned at a practical field meet ing of his Club just how to make a boll weevil infestation count. He came home and took that job over on his dad’s farm. The sea son was so» hot and dry, the in festation never got high enough to justify poisoning. So their pro posed poisoning cost of about $10 per acre was saved. Otherwise, the dad said, he’d have gone on and poisoned as before. For all too few farmers ever take the trouble to make accurate infestation counts as a guide to their weevil poisoning operations. And the re- 1954 Tax The tax books are now open for the collection of taxes and a Discount of I per cent Will be allowed oif taxes paid during the month of October 1954 J.

We know this, when weevils threaten, poison properly applied will pay. If they are not threaten ing, it can’t pay. And if it is not done right it can't pay either, nor pay''the most. So let’s resolve to do it right or not at all. Clem son gets out the detailed guide each season, our county agent will have it. LEGION CHIEF ...
