ELEAZER Ctemson Exten»ion Information Specialist , WHEAT NOW Wheat is seeded later than oth- «r grains to escape the Hessian fly- November is the time to put it in, on a firm seedbed, using a bushel and a half of treated seed per acre, according to Clemson. Wheat needs to go on the better lands. The Atlas variety is recom mended for all parts of the state. And in addition the Anderson and ■Coker No. 47-27 are recommend ed for the up-country, and Taylor nnd Coastal for the lower part •of the state. If good seed are needed, your county agent can likely help you locate them. BEST BUY “Wallace’s Farmer,” the farm magazine out in the great hog state of Iowa, says: “If you -want a poor investment, buy a •cheap boar hog. He will cost you more in the end than three higher -valued boars.’ , As you know, the hog is being rebuilt now. All breeds are cen tering on breeding and selections for more lean meat. Our breeders in this state are active in this. And the fall sales and recent :fairs showed the progress they are making. This changing of the hog has heen made necessary by the loss of much of the old lard market. It is being filled by vegetable fats. Therefore much of the ten dency to produce fat is being bred cut of hogs. And at the same -time the tendency for more lean is being built up by selection and breeding. This should prove to the advantage of the farmer, for the experts tell us lean meat is cheap er to produce that fat anyway. And our packers are beginning to pay a slight premium for the lean meaty hogs too. progresses in the other areas. Fairfield went early to cattle. Back twenty-odd years ago, be fore our present cattl* develop ment had gotten under way, the then county agent R. H. Lemmon and his leading farmers were talking cattle and pastures. Not only talking them but putting them in. Now you are seldom out of sight of cattle and pastures in riding over Fairfield county. And this Bangs disease clean-up is quite appropriate to that major farm enterprise there. They have an active livestock association working regularly in the interest of the industry.

TAIRFIELD TESTING CATTLE County Agent Lynn of Fair- Yield reports the testing of cattle Yor Bangs disease as moving along satisfactorily. It is being done on .an area basis and all of the cattle in about half of the county have mow been tested. And the work SHEEP Since we are just getting start ed back in the sheep business after a long lapse, the livestock specialists and county agents ar range convenient pools for the sale of our lambs in season. The one held at Spartanburg back in the summer saw 312 lambs as sembled and sold, according to County Agent Martin there. Farm ers from several Piedmont coun ties took part. Marketing is a very important part of any farm operation. And it is specially so with a new crop like sheep in this area. Wool too is assembled and sold or hauled direct to the woolen plant at Johnsonville that is helping with this sheep development in South Carolina. Sheep shearing schools are held around in the spring. In some counties the 4-H club boys are trained in teams and they do a lot of the shearing locally. For shearing a sheep is an art, an art we do not have, but must develop. UPS AND DOWNS County Agent Miller of York says their first early peaches this year brought as high as $10.30 a bushel. But that was not for long. Prices held up fairly well though until Elbertas came in. And that’s the big movement. Then it dropped to where it hardly paid to pick ’em. Recent Marriages Julian F. Shull of Columbia and Theresa Epting of Newberry were married on* November 18 at New berry by the Rev. Thomas Weeks. Mrs. Daisy Eddy Burial Saturday Funeral services for Mrs. Daisy Dominick Eddy, 55, wife of Wil lie Robert Eddy, were conducted Saturday morning from the Mc- Swain Funeral Home by the Rev. Melvin E.
