n ■ PAGE SIX THE NEWBERRY SUN THURSDAY DECEMBER 6, 1956 14 FARMS AND FOLKS ' By J. M. ELEAZER damson Extension Information Specialist BOYS ARE THAT WAY By J. Me ELEAZER FLEA REMEDY Our Clemson extension insect specialist, W. C. Nettles, says the xstlier new poision malathion is most effective one we have against fleas, as indicated by re search now under way. For treating dogs and cats, he says, the animal should be either tjtnmjjrA with 4 percent malathion or wet with a spray of one ounce of malathion 57 percent emulsif- liquid in one gallon of water. Repeat as needed at three week intervals. Chlordane is also used. Fleas breed in dry places, like under houses and in the dust under rags and in the cracks of floors where dogs and cats lie around a lot. Such places should be located ami treated too with either of the above materials. FEACH STATE NOW Georgia has been long known ns *The Peach State”. And for a long time it was just that. But change, change, “the constancy of change”! That too has changed. This year Georgia has dropped to third place in peach production in our part of the country. South Carolina is decidely in the lead with 4 million bushels. Arkansas was second with 2 million bushels, and then Georgia with 1.6 million. Our peach production is not in creasing much if any now. But it is expanding or scattering out a bit. With the new short chilling varieties, rather extensive planting are being made as far down state as Allendale and Orangeburg, while in the up-country some of the old orchards are going out and are not being renewed. Clemson’s peach man, Roy Ferree .says, “We are not advising the planting of more peaches in the state at this time. But when far mers put them in, we will continue to assist them in every way with their management, production, and marketing problems.” OUR LIVESTOCK POTENTIAL Our extension agronomist, Hugh Woodle, has been called Mr. Coast al Bermuda Grass. His knowledge of and enthusiasm for this plant have earned that name for him. In a recent feature article in the Southern Livestock Journal he had this to say; “Thanks to Coastal Bermuda grass, the South now has the gre atest potential for livestock prod uction of any area in the United States. When needed, the South is now able to quickly increase livestock production 400 to 600 percent. There are several factors that have made this picture poss ible, but the most inportant rea son for this increased potential was the introduction of Coastal Bermuda grass.” He points out that Common Bermuda grass has been our most important pasture plant up to the coming of Coastal. But Coastal will make twice the feed that Common will under the same con ditions, it stands drought and re sists leaf spot disease better, and makes better use of water and fer tilizer. KNOW YOUR . SOUTH CAROLINA Most folks know our state tree. It’s the palmetto. But how many know our state flower? It is the Carolina Yell ow Jessamine. And the state bird? It is the Carolina Wren. The state song ? I’m sure the older 4-H boys and girls know i.t For when Mrs. S. O. Plowden was district agent she led many a gro up of them in singing it with gus to. And they still sing it at times in their meetings and at summer camps. It is “Carolina”, with words by Henry Timrod and music by Anna Custis Burgess. What is the meaning of the Latin words on our state seal ? They mean “Prepared in Mind and Resources”. Most boys are alike. As they grow up they have to have a nu mber of live things. One of these is pigeons. My boy went through that age, as well as all the rest, including rabbits. And, of course, I had to build him a pigeon house. I’m not much of a carpenter. But on tha^ Sat urday afternoon I did a pretty good job. Anchored it to the gar age. Thought I’d finish it off with a good roost. So got a four-by four the right length and firmly nailed a piece of two-by-four to the top of it for the perch. To make it stand firm, I dug a three foot hole with the post-hole dig ger. Then I raised the heavy tim ber and dropped it firmly into the hole. I had forgotten about that cross piece at the top of it. And as the end of the timber hit firmly in the bottom of the hole, that cross piece caught me on top of the head. All that saved me, I’m confident, is the fact that it hit the bottom of the hole the same time it did my head. Otherwise my earthly worries might have been over. As it was, all it did was stun me a little. Seeing the comic angle I had to sit down there and laugh I had heard of the nit-wit who sawed the limb off between him and the tree. But I had never heard of anyone pulling the stunt I did. Miss Hi Miss *1 - ■ «i|r ■ Wv# Mr. and Mrs. R. C.
