■I’'. - : * THURSDAY, APRIL 7, 1955 FARMS AND FOLKS By J. M. ELEAZER Clemson Extension Information Specialist THE NEWBERRY SUN PAGE THREE a PLANNING PRODUCTION Farmers generally seem to be | taking the outlook more and more Into their calculations each year. Each fall several folks from Clemson go’ to Washington for a week at the farm outlook confer- <ence. There the experts give the .group all available facts as to supply and demand, trends in planting, etc. They come back and assist the county agents with holding farm and home out look meetings each January. ■ These county outlook meetings were well attended in most coun ties the past winter. Assistant Agent Anderson of Horry tells me there were at least 250 farmers at the one there. Trying to shape production to prospective demand, surely a good aim. And, you know, it usually works. Last year, you recall, the out look was very bad for both turkeys and Irish potatoes. Based on this, our growers reduced production of both of these. Result, better prices for both. By the way, Mr. Anderson says further, “Interest is still high re garding irrigation.” SOIL SAMPLES Clemson’s up-to-date soil testing laboratory is receiving hundreds of samples from the field every m 5 w: -i ' mmm f •; Hi IKNE WALTERS, popular radio star of WFBC says, "Every woman knows light Karo is best for cooking... and on the table—it's dork Karo for me. Hie best-tasting eating syrup of ’em all" Yes, indeed...biscuits go like hot cakes when you pour on plenty of delicious dark Karo... there’s nothing like it for good eating. Satis- fyin’ flavor. So rich it stands right up on top of biscuits (keeps ’em light and fluffy). Keep Karo on your table morning, noon and night ...it tops anything! grocmr for DARK Karo, in pint and quart bottles month. Reports received, back from these tests are valuable to the farmers, if suggestions are fol lowed. Ray DuBose, assistant agent ot Florence, says he finds farmers are following the recom mendations the laboratory sends back with reports on these sam ples. Your county agents can show you how to take a soil sample properly for sending to Clemson for testing. SHEEP FOR S. C. We have never had very many sheep in South Carolina. But we did used to have some. However, in recent years they have dwindled to practically none. Many reasons account for that. One was the difficulty of selling the wool. But that one is being removed now. Two giant woolen mills have of late come to the Low country. One is at Johnson- ville, in Florence county, and the other at Jamestown, in Berkeley. The former has introduced a lot of fine sheep from Australia and an experienced man from there to care for ’em. Clemson is cooperat ing with them on ! that sheep demonstration. Irrigation enabled them to get winter pasturage up on time and all the past winter they had fine grazing for their sheep. A field meeting was held there back in the winter. County agents took groups of farmers from many counties. They tell me now there is considerable interest in this revival of sheep. Not on a range basis, as before. But on an up-to-date controlled year- around grazing basis, in which the danger from dogs will be greatly lessened. That helped drive sheep from the state in the past, stray dogs killing them on the range. In this the 4-H club boys are taking a part, as they did in bringing hogs and cattle as re cognized crops to the stat$ in the past. COTTON PLANTING TIME Our experiment stations and records from over 15,000 - 5-acre contest fields nail down some im portant facts about producing cotton under present conditions. A few of those things that ap^ly at this season are: Narrow rows pay: stalks need to be close in the drill; plant only good seed, de- linted and treated; don’t chop too early, and leave plenty. To be a little more to the point, rows around 36 inches have made the most, an average of about 2 stalks to the foot has been best, and recommended poisoning has paid- COUNTY 4-H CLUB CENTER Oconee is putting an abandoned teacherage and school facility to good use.
