GOING BACKWARDS?
The number of farms in this
country grew constantly until
rather recent years. Here of late
they have been dropping off in
number fast. Now is the first
time they have been below 5 mil
lion since 1890.
While our population has been
doubling, the number of farms
has been going down.
Now just what does that mean?
For we are better fed and bet
ter clothed now than then. It
just means that science has
brought wonders out there on the
land. True, farmers are fewer.
But their cultivated acreages are
usually larger. And one man, with
power, now does to work formerly
done by many men.
The plant breeder too and the
scientific use of fertilizers have
added to our present production
potential.
Farming now, with its gadgets,
improved varieties, insect and di
sease control, complicated world
situation, and the like is very dif
ferent to what it was back yonder
when I was a kid. Just any old
body can’t farm successfully
now. It takes bright, hustling
folks who are willing to le&rn
year by year, for change is so
fast now.
Grassland tours and general
farm tours, the county agents
hold, and those staged at the ex
periment stations are all proof
of the general interest in keeping
up with the changing times now.
And with newer and fewer, but
larger farms, it takes such inter
est as this to insure food and rai
ment for our future.
BLACKVILLE FARMERS
MARKET
County Agent Shelley of Barn
well tells me their new Blackville
Farmers Market got off to a pret
ty good start on this its first
year. It has shed room for 144
trucks, and over 300 growers can
be accommodated under sheds
there daily. This facility was
made possible by assistance from
the state marketing authority and
cooperating local folks. It is on
the outskirts of town, where
there’s plenty of room. Hereto
fore truck sold in the open there
in the heart of town. Canta
loupes, cucumbers, and watermel
ons are the main truck crops
grown and marketed there. Others
are under consideration, says Shel
ley.
BITTERWEED CONTROL
Back in the spring the agents
in Sedgefield put out some bitter-
weed control demonstrations by
spraying the young weeds with
2,4-D. They used two pints of
the material per acre, and assist
ant county agent W. H. Funchess
tells me they got 99 percent con
trol of this troublesome pasture
pest.
To get bitterweed control like
that, Ernest Turner, one of our
specialists, tells me you have to
catch the weeds when they are
small. And bitterweeds are liable
to be overlooked at that stage un
less you look close. Look at your
pasture now and you can tell if
you’ll need to spray for this week
next spring.
PONDS NEED TO BE FISHED
Sam Williams, who wrote our
Farm Fish bulletin, tells me ponds
need to be fished.
Often a man will stock a new
p<4nd with fish. As they grow to
eating size they are his pride. He
likes to feed them and watch
them snap the bread up, and al
lows little or no fishing. But Sam
says that’s a mistake. Fish need
to be harvested just like a crop.
And some experts say you can
never hurt a pond by fishing it in
the legal way, with hook and line.
You will just harvest the big ones
and give the small ones a chance.
I knew some folks who had a
small pond in the mountains. It
was stocked with fish and they
flourished. No fishing was done in
it for years. Eventually they tried,
but didn’t catch anything. So they
drained it thinking the things just
wouldn’t bite a hook. And you
know what they found? A turtle
• i
and one large trout! The big fish
had increased, eaten all of the
little ones, and then gradually
perished out themselves.
NEW WATERMELON
I understand the melon breeder
down at the USD A laboratory
near Charleston has a promising
Cannonball type watermelon about
ready to release. It hasn’t been
named yet and simply carries the
code number W-453.
You recall our two most popu
lar melons of today were produc
ed there, the Congo and the
Charleston Gray.

BY THE OLD TIMERS
99
From Walter T. McLaran, Buena
Park, California: I can well re
member my first time to meet
Billie Dixcn about 61 years ago, in
an unorganized county northeast
of Amarillo, Texas. It was easy
for me to make my acquaintance
with him and his wife, as they were
old-time friends of Colonel Good
night, the pioneer Texas cowman.
I had heard of Mr. Dixon shooting
an Indian from his horse that was
almost a mile away.
The Indian had ridden up on a
pinnacle to make a survey of the
country, as the Indians were to
make a raid on the buffalo hunt
ers. Mr. Dixon got his field glasses
and a long range gun and pulled
the Indian off his horse—it liked
222 yards of being a mile.
This put the Indians on the prod
and they made a charge on the
buffalo hunters who were shooting
buffalo by the hundreds for their
hides. Some of the men failed to
make ft to their sod house shelters,
but after a severe battle the In
dians were nut on the run.
The children of the late Mr. and
Mrs. J. Sidney Wheeler and their
families had x a family reunion
Sunday, September 16, at the
Wreeler home in Prosperity. Mr.
