m PAGE EIGHT THE NEWBERRY SUN THURSDAY, JUNE 13, 1957 T— FARMS AND FOLKS By J. M. ELEAZER Clemson Extension Information Specialist FENCED FIELDS The late Mclver Williamson of Darlington once remarked to jne, “You don’t own a piece of land until you put a fence ar ound it.” By this standard, there are a lot of owners in Newberry. Co unty Agent Ezell tells me from 75 to 80 percent of their fields are fenced. And fenced for a pur pose too. For I see good grazing growing in most of'em, on which a coming cattle industry thrives. This includes both beef and dairy cattle. Most of our fences are being built now. Folks are realizing that labor is a big part in their cost. And to put up. a poor fence with posts that last only a year or so is bad business. With good cedar black locust, or treated posts, fences can be built that will last for a generation. We have treating plants over the state that can make ordinary pine posts last for many years. Build a fence right, with some of these durable posts, and you don’t then have the repeated costs of rebuilding it. Your County Agent has the pub lished helps from Clemson on fence building that are free for the asking. COASTAL IN CORN County Agent Craven of Sal uda tells me R. C. Berry, Jr., planted Coastal Bermuda stolons in the drill with his corn last year. He made good corn and late in the season the Coastal came along there too. Now he has a fine sod McCarley of Kershaw showed me some fine Coastal they start ed that way too a few years ago. Yes, there are all sorts of ways of putting this grass in. Another way is to mow it, scat ter that fresh hay over the land, and disc it in. But that calls for irrigation to insure success, unless you happen to hit good seasons just right. COSTS UP AND PRICES DOWN Since 1949 costs going into crop production have increased 20.6 percent . While at the same time farm prices have been stead ily downward. Paying more for what you buy and getting less for what you sell! Yes, that’s been the farmer’s plight now for a good while.

Mrs. Elizabeth Wilkes of Co lumbia, age 49, was killed when the car in which she was riding collided with a truck at the inter section of the Columbia-Greenville and Newberry-W'hitmire highways Friday morning, June 7th at about 5:00 a. m.

Mrs. Wilkes son, John J. Ryan Jr., was less serious ly injured, but was hospitalized here and later transferred to a hospital in Columbia. The three were en roUte to Greer, after Mr. Marchant receiv ed a call at 1:00 a. m. Friday that his father had died. His mother and Mrs. Wilkes were sisters. The driver of the truck, James P. Spence'of Bath, was not injur ed. The truck and trailer belonged to Overnite Transportation com pany. The truck was headed in the direction of Newberry from Whitmire, the car in the direction of Greer from Columbia. The only marks in the road, according to investigating officers, were brake or tire marks made after the im pact at the traffic light. Patrolman W. J. Martin dis counted rumors that the traffic light at that intersection was not operating properly. He stated that both he and Mr. George Scruggs, of the State Highway Department here, had thoroughly checked the light immediately after the wreck and that it was in perfect working condition. The lights, according to Mr. Martin, can be red in both di rections at the same time, but cannot be green in both directions. They work 24 hours a day,. Sheriff Tom Fellers assisted in the investigation.
