THURSDAY, DECEMBER 12, 1957 1 THE NEWBERRY SUN PAGE THREE FARMS AND FOLKS By # J. M. ELEAZER <Ctom«on Extension Information Specialist WITCH WEED Agricultural workers and far mers concerned are formulating their fight against witchweed. This pest was first found last year in three counties in North Carolina and three in South Carolina in the Loris-Dillon area. This year it was found on more farms and in several adjoining counties. In Florence county a few in stances of it were found. There the county came in with flame throwers and burned all they could find, according to County Agent Livingston. In Horry county, where it was first found, County Agent John ston tells me a careful survey the past season located it on 108 farms. King of Marion says it was found on 68 farms there, and over in Marlboro Adams reports it on 32. Bowen of Sumter says two young farmers were secured for a survey there but none of the witchweed was found. Clemson's Riley has made a short movie of this weed agents are using at community meetings. SOYBEAN INSECTS Insects were bad on soybeans the past season. Many fields not poisoned were ruined. County Agent Bowen of Sumter was es pecially active in detecting them early and getting widespread ap plication of the remedies. Hv tells me about 98 percent of theirs were poisoned early and little damage resulted from the wide spread outbreaks of a variety of insect pest on them. As evi dence of damage that would have otherwise come, in a few cases the outside nozzles got stopped up and did not spray. Those rows were eaten up by the insects while the others had full crops of beans. Soybean insects are hard to detect at first. But a keen and knowing eye can find ‘em early, when they are easy to kill and no damag3 has been done. As the insects grow, damage increases fast, and they get harder and harder to kill. So finding them early and acting then is what counts. FALL TOMATOES County Agent Livingston tells me a group of growers in Char leston planted 100 acres of fall tomatoes the past season. They made wonderful foliage and were insect and disease free. But, he says, “The only trouble was, the plants didn’t set fruit.” Tomatoes are funny about that. If temperatures go above a cer tain point, the blooms just drop off, setting no 'fruit. And that’s what happened there. I saw that some years ago in Ur. Epp’s breeding work there at Clemson’s Truck Station. He had the finest sort of vines. But hardly a tomato. But, of course, that was just to his liking. For he was breeding for a sort that would set fruit at high temperat ures that coMd be planted for a fall crop. And they are making progress in that. But a lot more work and refining are needed be fore a variety with suitable qual ity comes out of that work.

Limited amount of Embroidery Satin-Lame to match HURRY!! “It’s ‘Sew’ Smart to Sew” Carolina Remnant Shop HOGGING DOWN CORN I can well remember, many folks thought the county agents crazy when they put on the first hogging-down demonstrations with corn 30 years ago. The very idea, turn wasteful hogs in a field of corn! It was ridiculous. But it proved to be the best way to har vest corn and grow hogs with it. And now it is a common pract ice. It aids in bringing many of the hogs on the market earlier too, when prices are usually bet ter. Such hogs as we used to sell usually went to market all at the same time, along during the win ter, after the corn had been gath ered and the fed back to them. But not so now. Our good hog counties have ‘em the whole year through. And much corn is left in the field for hogging off on out in the late winter and even early spring. Thus, labor is saved and the hogs are out in the clean fields, where protein supplement is given them in self-feeders. During September, County Agent Grainger of Clarendon assisted 37 farmers in selling 341 hogs weighing 67,800 for $12,642.37. It can be seen from those weights that these hogs averaged almost perfect tops, right at 200 pounds each. And most of those grew from pigs to hogs in corn and bean fields, where they did their own work. And so it is in many a low-country county. Following drought and no corn hogs all but went from Williamsburg, a few years ago. But County Agent Jackson tells me they have re turned of late, following rain and corn.
