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

on the parts of the field not ir
rigated. 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.

Whatever you want most in a car-
beauty, size or performance—you get it
in extra measure in a Pontiac. In fact,
when you choose Pontiac the decision
comes very easily—because Pontiac alone,
at its price, gives you everything!
For example, take Pontiac’s distinctive
smartness. Certainly there is no question
on this point. Pontiac is the one car that
stands apart from all the others.
If it’s size and big-car sure-footedness
you want—Pontiac’s your car! Pontiac’s
long wheelbase—124 inches in the Star
Chief, shown here, and 122 inches in the
860 and 870 series—is the plus wheelbase
that provides the roominess, the comfort,
the satisfying road-hugging security that
only a,big car can supply.
As for performance—once you get be
hind the wheel you have all the proof you
need that Pontiac is way ahead in this
department, too. Pontiac’s spectacular
performance starts with the most modem
engine of all—the powerful new Strato-
Streak V-8—specifically designed for Pon
tiac’s all-new chassis to give you balanced
4tY*u can buy a big, powerful Pontiac for lets
. than many models of the lowest-priced cant
performance. That means smooth, eager
getaway in traffic; power to spare on the
open road; and even more of Pontiac’s
traditional economy, dependability and
long life.
All this adds up to a wonderful car and
the market for any new car, you’ll dis
cover you can easily afford all the pride
and pleasure of a big, powerful, luxury-
loaded Pontiac.
