FARMS AND FOLKS
By J. M. 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.
BOYS ARE THAT WAY

syrup makin’ in the Dutch Fork
up to the point of making the
stuff at the mill down under the
large oak tree at the foot of the

the sorghum stalks as they were
fed through iron rollers geared
together and powered by a mule
walking in a circle around them.
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

syrup dangling there for a mom

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.
