ELEAZER Clemson Extension Information Specialist CAROLINA RICE “Carolina Plantation” is the trade name of our native rice that a Walterboro firm is now process ing, enriching, and putting out in neat cellophane packages. So far as I’ve been able to learn, this is the first “enriched” rice to find its way into the retail trade of this country. Our Dr. Lease, who worked out this ’cereal enrichment, tells me our rice ex ports to Puerto Rico have been enriched for some time now in conformity with the law there. Our flour in this country has been enriched for some years. So have our corn meal and grits. But for rice, it is new. The rice industry, that once flourished' so in our coastal area, now shows signs of coming back. I’ve told you along of the efforts to reclaim the old rice fields and bring it hack that started during the second World War. And the past season County Agent Johns ton of Horry showed me several hundred acres of It there, growing on old flat-woods land where ir rigation was ample from the Wac- camaw River. That flat land, that had never known anything but pine trees and broom straw before, saw this rice as its first crop. And it made fine rice too. Acreage control is hampering this develop ment for 1955. SILAGE Both dairy and beef cattle folks tell me silage is usually the cheap est and best stored roughage. And we need to have it in reserve at all times, for drought often take our pastures for a spell. MODERN CLEO . . . Maryanne Behrendt’s 1955 “Cleopatra” swim suit shows Egyptian in fluence in print pattern and sarong-like drape. There is nothing wrong with hay. But high labor and difficult curing make it more of a hazard than silage. You can put the lat ter up safely regardless of the weather. It takes about 3 pounds of good corn silage to equal one pound of good hay. But with silage alone you will need to feed a little extra protein, like cotton seed meal, for best results, the experts say. / Some cheap silage can often be made from the pastures, when they need clipping in the spring. And oat straw should be put upr as> roughage for beef cattle and dry dairy cattle when the feed situa tion gets rough. The past fall and winter it would sure have come in good on farms with feed failures in '54. “DRIV BY COMPEL.MENT" Dr. Clarence Poe of The Pro gressive Fanner tells the old fel low who was “driv by compel- ment” to do something he should have done anyway. You know, we are all a lot like that. We don’t make changes -readily nor willingly. We like the old rut It is familiar and we don’t have to think much when in it So we resist getting . out. We. resist chahge. But every now and then along comes something, like the boll weevil, drought or a better sort or method, and forces ns to change. Yes, being “driv by compelment” accounts for most progress. Droughts have taken their dreadful toll along through the years and kept us on the land rather poor. Now costs have got ten so high we can ill afford droughts any longer. So folks here and there are climbing out of the old rut and grappling with drought through irrigation. And one of these farmer^ said, “Knowing what I do now, if I didn’t have the money with which to put in sup plementary irrigation. I’d mort gage something to get it.” CONTROL WILD ONIONS Clemson’s E. C. Turner says wild onions can be controlled in permanent pasture by proper spring and fall sprayings with 2,4-D. It will take from 2 to 4 years to do it, and then you won't likely entirely eradicate them, according to Turner. But you will get them down to where they are not a pest. Thereafter occasional sprayings might be ne cessary after the onions have had a time to build back up. Full details for doing this are carried in a mimeographed sheet prepared by Mr. Turner and, available through the county agents or from him here at Clem son.

I was always afraid that overhead beam the mules pulled would hit my head when I wasn’t looking. For you had to stand right under it to feed the cane in that mill. On cool mornings, we liked to drink the clear greenish sap as it spounted from the rollers and into the cloth*covered barrel be low. That cloth* strained it and kept the constant swarm of bees and yellow jackets from falling in the juice. We didn’t have iron pipes to convey the juice then. So we car ried it to the cooking pan in buckets. It took several hours to. cook a “makin” in that large flat pan with alternate partitions most of the way across. We liked to fire that pan with the rich light wood that each man hauled to cook his with. But they wouldn’t let us do that much eith er. Our imagination was too strong. We could Imagine it was a locomotive we were firing. And we’d really chunk thg wood to it And soon we had the juice foam ing over the sides of the pan. And even with a moderate fire, it was increasingly easy to run over as it neared the finish line. It was stirred and skimmed constantly with a wood paddle and strainer on a long handle. And the ex perienced cooker could tell when it was done and ready to draw off. It would not drip from the upraised paddle then, but would string off, leaving long hairs of PAGE THREE - syrup dangling there for a mom ent. We’d get a little of the finished syrup on an oak leaf, blow It until it was cool, and lap it up. We were usually very hungry for sweets then, for the syrup from the year before had usually given out. soured and turned to vinegar, or crystallized out by then. But it didn’t take much to satisfy us that way. t ' .! • lag mental power S. Dilatory me S» Procumbent (a) composite; <b) covering; (a) alow; <b> talkative; (e) dUBcuK.
