FARMS AND FOLKS

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

sult is often unnecessary expense
and wasted poison.
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.
