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

Professor of Commerce at New

NEW SERICEA
County Agent Jake Willis of
Chesterfield tells me his farmers
like that new strain of sericea
lespedeza named Arlington. 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.

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.
