short of the century mark. Inci
dentally, “sent-out” is the expres
sion used in old books and catalogs
describing the introduction of new
plants. The termw e use now, “in
troduced” was not used then.”
We are fortunate in our part of
the country in that we are able
to grow all varieties of roses. Last
sumer, 1 bad the pleasure of talk
ing with Roy Sheppard at his
Medina, Ohio, home. He bemoan
ed the fact that he could not grow
the lovely tea roses there. Mr.
Sheppard is the foremost author
ity in this country today on old
roses. He gave many of his fine
plants to the Old Rose Section of
the American Rose Society Gar
den at Columbus, Ohio. What a
pity this wonderful garden was
not farther South so that the
lovely tea roses ^ould grow there.
TEA ROSES
Many of the better known old
roses found in and around New
berry are of the tea rose variety.
The town of NeWberry dates prior
to 1786, so it is natural that in
many home and cabin gardens and
yards; in old cemeteries; in fence
corners and hedges where houses
once stood, there are to be found
many of our hardy old roses,
started mostly from a “cutting”
or a “slip” planted by a rose lov
er of an earlier generation.

Gressette Thinks
System Is Good
South Carolina’s retirement sys
tem for state employees has been
greatly improved in recent years
and now ranks among the best,
Tatum W. Gressette believes.
Mr. Gressette, director of the
system, makes this statement in
the current issue of State Service,
quarterly magazine of the S. C.
State Employees’ Association.
“South Carolina is one of a few
states which has a single retire
ment plan for all public school
teachers and state employees a>
well as employees of the counties
and municipalities and other po
litical subdivisions,” Mr. Gres
sette writes. “We have approxi
mately 60,000 members.”
The system’s current invest
ments amount to approximately
$90 million, he declared.
Both member and employer con
tribute monthly to the system.
The system is coordinated with
Social Security. Members contrib
ute at the rate of three percent
year for compensation amounting
to not more than $4,200, and five
percent on compensation above
$4,200. Each member contributes
to Social Security at the rate
specified in the Social Security
Act.
If a member leaves service be
fore qualifying for u retirement
allowance, he is paid his total
contributions without interest.
A member may retire upon
completion of 35 years of service
without regard to age, or on at
taining age 60. A member should
retire at age 65 and must retire
at 72.
Employees also have the option
of accepting maximum retirement
benefits, which cease at death, or
of accepting a reduced allowance
for his lifetime with a beneficiary
receiving payments thereafter.

FARMS AND FOLKS
By J. M. ELEAZER
Clcmson Extension Information Specialist
WITCH WEED SPREADS
County Agent Johnston of Hor
ry told me at the end of July they
had found the dreaded “witch
weed” on 82 farms in this county.
And in several other counties
over there and across in North
Carolina the story was the same.
He had visited the witchweed ex
periment station that was estab
lished at Evergreen, North Caro
lina, when this pest was first
found in the Western Hemisphere
there along the border of the
Carolinas last summer. Althougn
now in their second year, that sta
tion already has a number of in
teresting experiments, under way
aimed at finding leads to the
control of this weed.
Its seeding habit is such that it
looks all but impossible lu eradi
cate it. Some sort of controls
loojs. to our best bet. It seeds ov« i
a rather long summer per.u.
making an abundance of seed so
small they are easily carried by
the wind, water, on wild animals
and birds, in mud and dust attach
ed to vehicles, etc. And they are
known to live in the land for as
long as 20 years, if no host root
comes near enough to make ’em
sprout.
I saw corn fields ruined by this
weed that grows as a parasite on
its roots. It also affects grasses,
sorghums, rice, and small grains.
But since our grain grows mainly
in the winter and cooler months,
it is not thought it will be a pest
on it. On corn, sorghum, and
grasses is where we fear it most.
It is a summer annual.
In some of the best farming
areas of Africa, where corn is ex
tensively grown, it often takes up
two-thirds of the crop, we are
told. It seems to thrive under dry
light land conditions. This will
make it a real threat to our grow
ing grain sorghum business.
The aboveground part of it is
a ferny upright plant under a
foot high. During the summer sea
son it has beautiful red flowers
on it, pretty enough to be plsmted
in your garden if it were not such
a pest.
HOGS IN DORCHESTER
Along in the middle twenties
Joe Hawkins came with Clemson
as extension livestock specialist.
He not only knew what he had
learned from the books, but his
whole background fitted him as
*
the leader we needed with live
stock.
Along about then we had made
a good corn crop and it would
hardly sell at all, as we had no
established market for corn. The
“corn-hog ratio” had meaning to
Joe, and he saw hogs at prevail
ing prices as a good means for
marketing our corn. But a lot of
convincing was necessary before
anything much could be done about
it.
i Joe built some easy hog weigh-
, ing crates. He’d put one on tha-
side of his car anu go to see a
county agent in the lowcountry,
; where the surplus corn was. I
was county agent down thera>
then. He came to see me. I fear
I was a bit reluctant, as some
others were, to embrace the new
venture. It called for “protein
supplement” # to go with that com.
And it cost money, something we
didn’t have much of. But anyway,
we went to some farms we knew
to have hogs and corn in surplus*
They agreed and we helped them
weigh up a batch of corn and some
shoats. They got fish meal, the
first we had ever fed, and kiept a
record of what the hogs ate. We
got weights when we shipped
them and, to our surprise, those
hogs paid a lot more for the corn
than we could have hoped to get
for it, even if we had access to a
normal corn market, which we
didn’t.
Well, folks - that started our
present commercial hog industry.
Soon we introduced hogging down
crops, ton litters, etc. Also countj
marketing agencies were set up,
for we had no local market for
hogs. Many of these have now
been replaced by local packing
p,lants, auction markets, etc. But
the one at St. George has not
been replaced by any of these, and
it has thrived along through th#
years. When they closed their
20th year of business with last
June, County Agent King told ms
dt showed their best year on rec
ord. A total of 696 farmers had
sold 25,714 hogs that averaged
208 pounds each and brought in
$886,199.21.
And those Dorchester farmers
are continually improving their
methods and the quality of hog»
they put out. Practically all they
ship are tops. And the prizes they
gave at their annual meetingr
were boars of the desired lean
type.
