ELEAZER Clemson Extension Information Specialist Fanners everywhere I’ve been in our tobacco area like that new tobacco, Coker 139 Lok at our state average this year, the highest on record. True, it was a pretty good tobacco year, but that high yielding variety of quality leaf accounted for a lot of that. Our tobacco specialist, J. M. Lewis, observed it closely *on many farms, as he has done for past seasons at Coker’s place and at our Pee Dee Experiment station, wheire it was thoroughly tested out before being generally plant ed for the first time the past sum mer He tells me it is a very good variety of tobacco, tending to make a heavy yield of easy-cur ing quality tobacco. I asked County Agent Bowen of Sumter about it there. He said, “Coker 139 will be planted almost 100 per cent in Suipter county next year.” And he went on to say it suckered less, leaves are closer together, it has more of them, cures easier, sells well, and has more quality all the way from the lugs up to the tips. Over in the tobacco empire of Horry I asked couhty agent John ston about it. He said they liked it a lot, “Itmakes so many more pounds.” I asked him if they'd have some ton yields. He said, “What you talking about, man, we'll have man yields pushing a ton and a half per acre, and I’m confident a few will reach that figure.” And he pointed out, “It's good from top to bottom,” which is not true of the common sorts Then in Georgetown, county agent McCord said: “Coker 139 tobacco is wonderful to grow and cure. Our growers will plant > it mostly next year.” Thus the plodding plant breeder brings forth better sorts. The ex periment station tests them out. And the county agent demonstrat ed and observes them in the field. CERAMICS Ceramics has to do with making things of clays, ,etc. South Caroli na is not rich in most minerals. But in clays we are well-off. In fact, some of the world’s finest clay deposits are found in the Aiken area They have been mined extensively for years, and great quantities of the clay shipped to the far places for manufacture and use. » Clemson now has an up-to-date ceramics department under Prof essor Gilbert C. Robinson and gives a major course in Ceramic Engineering. The new Ceramics building, gift of the Olin founda tion, is second to none anywhere, both the building and the equip ment. Prof. Robinson has made exten sive exploration and study of the mineral resources of the state. Now that technical training i s available here in that field, that state will likely make more head way in developing its minerals in the future, specially as applied to our fine and abundant clays. S. C LEADS South Carolina is a small state as states go. Yet we lead all states in number of cotton spindles in place and in the number of hours they work. North Carolina is a rather close second. Our cotton quality and staple improvement has been in line with this spinning growth in recent years. We once grew short cottons not suited to most of our mills’ needs. That sort of cotton was useful mostly in exports. But now practically all of our cotton is inch staple or better and it fits right into local mill needs. All of that revolution has happen ed sin£e the Clemson 5-acre cot ton improvement contest was be gun back there in 1926 Thousands of farmers have taken part in it, and confidence has been largely restored id this great crop fes- pecially on the best cotton lands, wfcere mechanization is possible. Yields above 3 bales of quality cotton per acre have been attain ed on a few of the 5-acre plots. And many yields in the 2 bale range have been secured. These have shown that, where existing know-how is diligently applied, we can still make fine cotton here. And during this epoch of cotton improvement, farmers have whit tled varieties down to practically one, Coker 100WR. Experiment and experience have shown it to fit our needs well here.
