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

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-

No other low-priced cor even comes close
to matdiing these important Chevrolet advantages
• •
If you*!* planning to buy a new car, the
one you Just can’t afford to miss seaing is
Chevrolet—for 19 straight years America’s
best-selling car. The Motoramic Chevrolet
offers you so much more than the other
low-priced cars that it’s hardly fair to
compare them. And even the higb-priced
cars don’t have all the advantages that
today’s Chevrolet offers you.
The beauty’s built in—not bolted on!
Chevrolet’s beauty is inherent in the basic
contours of metal and glass. There’s no
excessive bolted-on ornamentation to go
out of style overnight.
The Body’s by Rshorl
You see Body by Fisher on lots of the
high-priced cars—and only Chevrolet has
it in the low-price field!
Today’s most modem enginesl
That goes for Chevrolet’s new V8 aad
two new sixes as welL All bring you a
modem 12-volt electrical system—double
the voltage of other low-priced cars. Then
Chevrolet’s new “Turbo-Fire VS” has the
shortest piston stroke in the industry!
A drive to suit your driving!
There’s silky, peppery Powerglide (even
better this year!), new Overdrive (both
extra-cost options), and a new Synchro-
Mesh transmission that’s as smooth as
they come.

All the power helpers you wont!
Windows, seat, steering, brakes—all are
available with built-in “muscles” to make
driving as effortless as you wish. They're
optional at extra-cost—and worth it!
Como toko the key! v
There have never been so many good
reasons why you should drive a Chevrolet!
