CARE IN IRRIGATING TOBACCO
Out tobacco specialist, J. M.
Lewis, says we need to be careful
about the mineral content of the
water we use in irrigating tobac
co. This especially applies to wa
ter from deep wells and ponds
built in marl beds. In some cases
such water has been found to have
too much lime or other minerals
in it for tobacco. Too much lime
hurts the quality of tobacco, he
points out.
And he also is fearful on intro
ducing certain diseases into toba
cco fields in run-off water from
diseased areas is used for irriga
ting.
These sound like common-sense
precautions worth looking after.
Irrigation has proved very bene
ficial on tobacco, as on most
other things. We need to be ever
alert to all of these angles, lest
we get hurt somewhere along the
line.
OUR GREAT POTENTIAL
— Our grass naan, Hugh Wood I e,
tells me if all present knowledge
were applied to our great range
country out West they could.. In
crease their grazing 15 to 20 per
cent. But if we applied all- the
knowledge we have to our grazing
lands* we could increase their out
put 475 per cent!
We had cases last year where
Coastal Bermuda grass was hand
led right and they got little rain
(that can also be supplied toy ir
rigation when it does not come
naturally) yields of good! hay per
acre ran from 5 to 9 tons per
acre.
Natural range in Florida pro
duced 17 pounds of beef per acre
in a year. The improved part
made 270 pounds. Where irriga
tion was added, they have made as
much as 1,050 pounds of beef per
acre. This illustrates that inoreas
ed potential in this part of the
country Hugh was talking about.
We have it. Preparation, seeding,
fertilization, management, ell of
these things go into it. In late
years we have started waking up
to the truth of this. We lived cot
ton long, and pretty well mastered
it. How to grow other things
equally .well will take (time. But
the know-how is already at hand
to increase our grazing, for In
stance, 475 per cent, according to
Hugh.
MORE CORN
Since we have been taking corn
seriously in recent yeans, the av
erage yield has picked up about
50 per cent in South Carolina. And
but for the past 4 dry years it
would likely have doubled by now.
Now, folks, for the crop oc
cupying our greatest acreage, that
is something, it has meaning in
many directions. More livestock,
dairy, poultry products and so on.
The 5-point Clemson plan for
growing corn is now widely used.
It is:
1. Thorough preparation of soil.
2. Plant certified hybrids.
3. Liberal fertilization.
4. More plants per acre.
5. Early shallow cultivation on
ly.
Under this plan, we now have
a good many farmers qualifying
for our 100 bushel corn club each
year. Even last year, one of the
driest on record, 34 farmers made
100 toushels per acre or more on
their contest fields. And only a-
bout 15 of those irrigated. Many
more would have qualified if they
had gotten the needed shower at
the right time or had irrigation
available.
HIGH ON THE CHICKEN
You are familiar with the ex
pression “eating high on the hog”
meaning you are living well, eat
ing ham rather than hocks.
Well, with the great progress
being made in growing better
chickens on'less and less feed per
pound, our poultry specialist, P.
H. Gooding, recently pulled this
one “A lot of folks who have to
eat lov£ on the hog are now eat
ing high on the chicken.”
Broiler production has been
phenomenal in recent years. Geor
gia has grown into the giant in
this, replacing New Jersey by a
considerable margin, and still
growing like young corn. In the
past few years South Carolina has
started growing fast in broilers,
4)oo. Large rearing bouses and
dressing plants dot the State.
We are now growing about a
billion broilers a year in this
country. And who couldn’t eat
twice that many in a year with
out tiring in the least? ,
BOYS ARE
THAT WAY
By J. M. ELEAZER
Last week I fold you about
fearing the seat out of my first
long pants at the campaign meet
ing at Ballentine. Well, sir, that
was one of the most emtoarrassed
moments. When that desk toppled
over, the loud ripping of that
strong cloth attracted everyone's
attention, and the speaker slowed
up and looked over that way. '
I grabbed the torn flap up, lean
ing over, and tried' to hold it in
place until I could reach the
bushes at the edge of the grove.
But the cool air back there told
of incomplete coverage, as I hur
ried for cover.
Down there in the protected
haven of the bushes, I pulled those
pants off so as to better appraise
thedamage. They were torn ebout
eight inches and down over a too*
and I was five miles from home!
I found a thorn bush down
there. With the long slender
thorns I pinned it up as best I
could. But those pants sure did
look funny then, tucked up all
that way in the rear. Ben came
when he saw me walking all
hunched over down there. He
hadn't finished laughing but went
up to the buggy and got a rain
coat he had borrowed for the day.
I put that on to hide my torn
pants and walked back up to the
meeting.
It was a summer day and that
raincoat soon had me in a sweat
for sure. But a barbecue dinner
was to be served at noon and I
wasn’t about to miss that So I
sweated it out until the feed was
over, trying to keep the inner
fires quenched with glass t after
glass of cold lemonade. Then I
left.
Man, pulling that raincoat off
was one of the sweetest reliefs
I ever experienced. I was plumb
wet under it.
