FARMS AND FOLKS By J. M. ELEAZER Clemson Extension Information Specialist .V,., EASTER LILY BERMUDA STYLE—Susan Selley, 19-month pretty youngster looks up to this giant Easter Lily. Susan would have to travel up 6 ft., 7 in., to reach the top of this stalk which grew wild in sunny Bermuda. HIGH ALTITUDE PUSH—These two operators of International TD-24, 200 hp, 20-ton bulldozers, seem to be trying to out-push each • other. Actually, they are helping to build a road on top of a moun tain for the U. S. Marine Corps near Camp Pendleton. Over 65% of the 320,000 cu. yds. of material being moved is rock, but it is child’s play to these two giants. Festival Praised By Jr. High PTA Rev. Neil E. Truesdoll, pastor of Aveleigh Presbyterian church, was speaker at the • Thursday night meeting of the Junior high PTA. The topic of his discusion concerned the school system in Newberry county. During the business session it was recommended that an open letter of appreciation be written to Miss Juanita Hitt, Miss Lor raine Paris, the faculty and Board of Trustees, and all who had any part in the success of the recent Music Festival. Mrs. Gladys Carl ton, who presided in the absence of the president, commented that the money was well spent and that the safety hazard of taking a large number of students to the state contest had been avoided by having the Festival here. She voiced the hope that the Festival would be an annual event. Mr. Beck stated that the cost was 30c per pupil. He quoted Dr. Roberts as saying that the students were “the best dressed and nicest-look- ing” he had seen in the states and abroad. He said that any child who wanted to could partic ipate in the Festival, whereas only a small percentage could be sent to the state contests, and that all of the parents could at tend and enjoy the music. Mrs. Lewis Lipscomb announced plans for the State convention to be held in Charleston April 9, 10 and 11. Nine delegates are allow ed the Junior high PTA and all expenses will be paid by the or ganization. Any person interested in attending contact Mrs. Lips comb or Mrs. John Felker. Mr. Beck suggested that teachers be represented at the convention, and the PTA approved the paying of substitutes for those who would attend. Mrs. Aubrey Harley, chairman of Music and Art, presented a musical program which consisted of a piano solo, “Rose of Virginia” by Eve Jane Price, and “Red Riv er Valley” and “Ring, Ring The Banjo” sung by a mixed quartet composed of Barbara Youmans, Marcia Todd, Tommy Grant, and Jamie Henderson. They were ac companied by Ann Abrams, Ann Beck and Linda Cannon on harps. ATTENDED MEETING C. Walter Summer, Associate Professor of Commerce at New berry college, attended the South eastern Meeting of the American Accounting Association held on March 23, 24 at the University of South Carolina in Columbia. - 1 »>»>»>>»»» »»»># VS?a ‘Tve told you time and time again not to lean on the table until we get an auto loan from Purcells to buy some new furniture.

It w^s developed by the USDA, tested at Clemson and other places, and released a few years ago. Jake says it has more leaves and finer stems, thus making bet ter forage than the old sort of sericea- And the old one, you re call, is no slouch in providing roughage when drought hits and the going is rough for most plants. Recent dry years have proven this. Our certified seed man, Bob Garrison, tells me we have some certified seed of this Arlington Sericea, and Jake says his farm ers have a considerable supply of its seed too. Planting time is now, in the spring. In Chesterfield they also have a lot of crotalaria seed. That’s the great soil builder. HIGHER WAGES On the first of March the min- imitm industrial wage went from 75 cents an hour to a dollar. This increase does not apply to the farm, directly. But it is bound to have it effect. For that* wage will be passed, on in the products that farmers and others have to buy. And, of course, out there in the labor market, it will affect farm wages eventually. With his prices going down and his expenses up, the farmers prog ress is sure backwards now. How long can that la 8 *? Many are ask ing. And there is not much that the farmer can do about it except to try to cut costs and do a good job. Another thing that’ll help is to live at home again. In late years we have gotten away from that a lot. A good garden, for in stance, can add a good bit to your hard pressed income by saving dollars for stuff formerly bought. Clemson has published many aids for rusty gardeners. They are free at your county and home agents. Any Hour of the Day—It's Good Listening on WKDK! Prosperity PTA Names Delegates “Alcoholism” was the subject discussed by Rev. Neil E. Trues- dell at the March 19 meeting of the Prosperity Parent-Teacher as sociation held in the school aud itorium. The devotional program was in the form of a solo, “The Holy City” by Barbara Hawkins, ac companied by Mary Pat Taylor. During the business session, the PTA voted to contribute $5 to a scholarship fund in honor of Helen Stokes, retiring president. Grady Lee Halfacre was named F’TA Treasurer; appointed on the nominating committee were Mrs. Leroy Pugh, chairman, Mrs. Mos- by Ruff and Mrs. Ruth Newman. These members and Mrs. Boozer, President, will serve as delegates to the PTA convention in Charles ton on April 9, 10 and 11. Ralph Black and Jake Bowers were appointed to audit the books for the year. The group voted to sponsor the Boy Scout Troop pro vided a leader was secured. It was announced that the April meeting would be held Monday night, April 23 with Miss Rose Hamm, public school music teach er, in charge of the program. PEACHES SPREAD County Agent Jackson of Wil liamsburg tells me a farmer there has set out 50 acres of peaches. And Hubbard of Bamberg says several orchards are coming a- long there. Several are in product ion in Allendale. Barnwell has long had a sizable commercial or chard in production,, and more have been set. Orangeburg too is sharing in this, and possibly some other counties down there, out of the old peach range. I asked our Roy Ferree what ac counts for this. He said there are two things. The development of root-knot menatode resistant root stock, and the new varieties with low winter chilling requirements. The first of these was made possible after finding a peach seedling that was resistant to the root knot. Seed from It are plant- {ed and then the desirable varie ties budded on them. And the other was accomplished by the ’miracle of plant breeding and sel ection, that I often tell you about, as I go among the check-rows and breeding plots of the experiment stations and plant breeders. The old varieties of peaches called for a rather long winter sleep, or dor mant period. And if they didn’t get it, they didn’t like it at all, would cut up in drastic ways, giv ing ypu few if any peaches, and die early. These new sorts have a shorter chill period, and will get by further down state. I n fact, they are being planted a lot in the up-state too, for even here on warm winters, the regular sorts have been badly damaged, at times by not getting enoughl winter rest. ^ Clemson is not in the role of pushing commercial plantings of peaches anywhere. For many be lieve we have enough for our spot on the market. But we work closely with all growers in an at tempt to put the very best peach possible on the market. For there is room for improving our peach business there. The peach business is changing, like everything else. In late years it has vastly improved. With new poisons, insects are controlled now. And rot too, pretty well. Hillbilly Harmony World News Wake Up and Sing Weather Forecast Carolina News World of Sports Wake Up and Sing World News Wake Up and Sing Morning Devotions S. C. News Robt.
