THURSDAY, JANUARY 9, 1958 THR NEWBERRY SUN — I ».i i ■■" FARMS AND FOLKS By J. M. ELEAZER Clemson Extension information Epeolaliat BUTCHERING BULLETIN With the coming of locker plants and home freezers, farm butchering can be made more meaningful. We used to get tired of fresh meat, trying to eat it before it spoiled. But now we can prepare, pack, and freeze it in the fresh uncured state and keep it as long as needed. I can well remember butchering time at home. We were hungry for the fresh pork products at first. But soon we had enough, but it was there, and had to be eaten, that is, such parts of it as couldn’t be cured and kept. Now the freezer takes care of that and we can have it all along and enjoy it to the end. Clemson’s Bulletin 77 entitled “Pork for Carolina Farmers” has been revised and is available at your county agent’s office. For those rusty on butchering, it tells the whole story from selecting the right hogs on down to the finished products. not needed at planting time. It is best applied around tree after growth starts. Prune top at trans planting time to balance roots lost. Water at transplanting time, even though soil moisture is good. Watering settles soil firmly about the roots. BOYS ARE THAT WAY By J. M, ELEAZER HYDRANGEA COLOR Aluminum in the soil makes hydrangeas change from pink to blue, our specialists tell me. Acit soils make aluminum become a- vailable. And that’s why acid soils make blue flowers. Otherwise they will be pink. Last summer at the Finney home in Clinton I saw the most beauti ful bed of pink and blue hydran geas I’ve ever seen. By putting acid materials to some and not to others, they got a veritable rainbow of colors, all mingled there. TIME TO SET THINGS As soon after killing frost as possible is the best time to trans plant trees and shrubs. And right now, in the dead of winter, is still good time. For, set now, they have time to get firmly establish ed in the soil before the growth season arrives in the spring. And the roots of woody plants grow some even in the wintertime. So set now, this new growth has time to take place and have the trees better ready to meet growth de mands in their new setting when it comes with warm weather. A few suggestions about trans planting. Dig plants with care, to save as many roots as possible. Prune off any damaged roots. Dig holes bigger than root system will re- suire. Put some topsoil in first. Then hold tree at natural depth and fill in and firm roots into their natural positions. Don’t plant deeper than tree was in ground before. Leave a slight depression around it to aid when watering becomes necessary. Fertilizer is OCONEE APPLES Based on the perfection to which the Long Creek Apple growers, up in Oconee county, have learned to grow' them, it looks like real apple industry might well be de veloped there. I don’t beleive more beautiful apples have ever been grown anywhere than those grow- ers had up there last fall. You might have seen some of ,‘em at the State Fair. And I’m sure no better quality, better tasting ones are grown anywhere I’ve ever eaten ‘em from. County Agent Morgan tells me the acreage is gradually growing. The past season they had a rather short crop, about 50 per cent, and have harvested only about 50,000 bushels of beauties. Good apples are hard to grow, harder than peaches. But With modern equipment and the spray calendar worked out by Clemson, Oconee growers have proved they can produce them to perfection. Even though droughts are not so frequent and destructive there in the near mountains, they do hurt. And I visited several grow ers who are planning for irrigation now. They are planting on con tour beds with an eye to gravity Memories of boyhood in the Stone Hills of the Dutch Fork return often. None are fonder than those surrounding country ham. And they start back at butchering time. Each family had from 2 to 4 hogs to kill. One was always a large one to get the year’s supply of lard from, in addition to some big cured meat. This one was killed in the dead of winter to insure a keep. A smaller j one, about 200 pounds, was us ualiy killed about Thanksgiving time, and another of this sort on out in late winter, after the fresh trimmings from the big one gave out. I liked everything about butcher ing. The main thing was, they let us stay home from school on that day. I now wonder that they did, for we surely had to be badly in the way. But they did, knowing how we enjoyed it. We awoke with the grown folks before day, for that great event. It was invaribiy cold, very cold. I can hear the steps cracking now, as we found our way down stairs to the roaring fire in the open fireplace. There we thawed out our things arid put ‘em on. By that time the grown folks and neighbors, who came to help, had the fires started under the afternoon before. It was still dark when we got there, and jackfrost crunched underfoot as we ran to the raging fire. There we kept turning to warm the other side until we sort of got used to it out there. As the water started to smoke the men went down to the hogpen with axe. We went with them and climbed upon the other side to see the killin’. The girls would go back in the house so as not to even hear the squeal, if there was one. The handiest man with the axe soon dispatched the hog and struck him. As he bled they tore down one side of the rail pen to get him out. Then several of the strongest men dragged him up to the scalding spot near the boiling pots. If the hog wasn’t too heavy, it was scalded in a barrel News MRS. EL T. YOUNG, Correspondent set slanting in the ground, the head end first and then the tail. But a large hog that wouldn’t go in the barrel had to be scalded by covering with heavy layers of sacks and the hot water poured on. That water had ashes in it to make it clean better. I’ve run out of space and haven‘t got to that country ham I started out to tell about. We’ll have to continue this next week. ROSE QUEEN . . .
