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.

Greer People
Involved In
Two Wrecks
Two highway accidents, which
occurred last Friday and Saturday
mornings in the county, claimed
the life of one and seriously in
jured three other persons.
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. The driver of the car,
William W. Marchant, Jr., of
Route 2, Greer, was seriously in
jured and has been transferred to
the Fort Jackson Hospital. He
was stationed with the army at
Fort Jackson. 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.
On Saturday night, a passing
motorist discovered a motorcycle
and a seriously injured man lying
beside the highway about one mile
on this side of Kinards. The dis
covery was made about 11:30 p.
m.
According to Patrolman Martin,
the victim of the wreck was Bobby
L. Mahaffey, 24, of Route 5,
Greer, also a soldier stationed at
Fort Jackson. Mr. Mahaffey is at
the local hospital in critical con
dition.
“There is no evidence to indi
cate that the motorcycle was
