C. ■IliA; IRRIGATION FACTS Our main need about irrigation is facts. n We are getting them, from both experiment and experience. But we don’t hare nearly all of ’em yet. At Clemson last year inigation treatments on cotton gave yields varying from 1,300 to 2,150 pounds of seed cotton against 660 pounds where it wasn’t irrigated. And on corn the irrigation treatments made from 69 to 91 bushels per acre, while that not irrigated didn’t make anything. Soy beans irrigated made 32[.7 bushels against 7.3 not irrigated. Common bermuda grass made only .6 of a ton without water and from 3 to 5 tons of good hay with irri gation. And peaches Irrigated made from 4.7 to 6 bushels of large peaches to the tree. Those right by these not irrigated made 3.7 bushels of smaller fruit.. For the past 4 years our Herman Lyn'' has placed one of the por table Camp irrigation outfits with county agents in the tobacco section for demonstrations with this crop. From 1951 to 1954 in clusive, these demonstrations on farms of that area have averaged 1,182 pounds of tobacco per acre liam H. Wicker, $500. Suzanne D.

The irrigated parts have averaged 1,557 pounds. This is am average increase of 365 pounds per acre. But that does not tell the whole story of irrigation there. The irrigated tobacco has also averaged 9.05 cents a pound more. Thus we have an average increased value of $280.68 per acre from irrigation on tobacco for these 4 years. Some other farmers In the heart of the drought area who irrigated had even better results than this. County Agent Jaekson of Kings- tree tells me that T. O. Baxley got a thousand dollar per acre dif ference last year. His irrigated tobacco made 2,498 pounds per acre and brought $1,607.32. That not irrigated made 1,398 pounds per acre and brought $600.36. Ed Howie of Darlington told me irrigation added $600 per acre to his tobacco in 1954. Irrigation facts, that’s what we need. And there are cautions too. We need to observe them. I give them too here at timee. But I haven’t room for ’em here now. NOTHING IS WRONG HERE Many of our farms and homes are rather up to date. But Director Watkins says he doubts if any farm or home could truthfully hang a sign out saying, “Nothing is Wrong Here”. And surely he is right. There is always room for im provement in this changing world. And often what was the very thing today is outmoded tomorrow. It was but last year we were singing the merits of Coastal Ber muda grass. And it is still as good or better than we thought it wa«; For that first-year grass did prodigious things this past dry summer. Yet Hugh goodie tells me there is a new one that looks even better, specially for light sandy soils. It Is Dr. Burton’s new strain of Bermuda grass called Suwanee. Clemson has a mother patch of it at the Pontiac Station. From this source, foundation stock is to be furnished farmers over the state who want to pro duce certified sources of this grass for general farm planting. Yes. in this progressive, fast moving world ,we can’t ever say ‘Nothing is Wrong Here.” For there is always something new and better; be it a variety, a method, practice, home conven ience, or what-not. Your county and home agents try to keep you posted on these things for farm and home. HAVE YOU— Winter is fast going. The buds of spring will soon be breaking through. Therefore, winter’s tasks haven’t long now to get done. A few are: Pruning and cleaning up the or chard; seeding lespedeza on the grain; top dressing grain, spec ially that for early grazing; spreading compost on the garden; pruning and setting shrubbery; cleaning hedge-rows and ditch banks, setting out bicolor lespe deza for birds; fixing and building fences; hauling woods straw to the stables; building that farm pond before spring work starts; building needed terraces and re building the old ones that need it before crops get back on the land; and on and on this could go. For really there is never a slack sea son on the up and hustling farm.

The aroma of that syrup a-cookin’ was delightful. I was always afraid the pan would run over. But the skill ed cdoker* knew just how heavy to punch that fire and just how to stir it to keep it rolling but not boil over. If it looked like it would run over anyway, he’d grab some raw juice, yell for us to "scratch your bellies”, and he’d pour the cold juice in. Of course the foam went down. We thought the scratching did it. That fellow didn’t have any thing like a hydrometer to test'the syrup to know when it was done. He simply kept stirring and rais ing bis wood paddle up to see how it would string off. At first It wouldii M t at all, just drop off like water.
