ELEAZER Clemson Extension Information Specialist THE NEWBERRY SUN PAGE THREfe 'M ■cm GRAPE MARKETING Assistant County Agent Ben nett of Laurens reports: “Attend- •ed a grape meeting in Spartan burg with two grape producers from the county. They were well pleased with the type of market offered this year.” County Agent Martin of Spar tanburg told me in late July: “We have been working with grape growers in an effort to get a mar ket for the state’s grape crop. Plans have about been completed for selling a good quantity of grapes to the Seneca Grape Juice Company of Dundee, N. Y.” New Crops! They are popping up at every turn in cotton’s em pire that has faded so. This soil and clime have wide adaptations, many of which we have never fully explored. Marketing is often the big problem with something new. It is a sort of riddle. You can’t have a market for something you don’t have. And it takes a bit of daring to grow something for which no developed market exists. So a few folks had to dare with grapes first. Then it is interesting to see that progress is being made in developing markets for them. So it was w T hen we started with hogs, and beef cattle, and dairy ing, and so on. The old corn earworm has .al ways hit a few cotton bolls. But until quite recent years, it did so little damage as to go unnoticed. But of late it has taken on new vigor or a liking, for cotton. And at places it assumes the import ance of a major threat to the crop. McCown of Spartanburg re ported at the end of July: “In checking for cotton insects, we find in many cases the boll- worms are more of a threat than boll weevils.” So, folks, if you are growing cotton next year, you need to know how to look for and poison bollworms too. Your county agent can help you. them start swinging the long vine first, and then run into it at just tjie right time and start jumping. One was in for some good bruises before learning to do that. And these aces would also run out of it and never let it die on them while jumping. I never reached this final stage, for I was always a bit clumsy. But Ben, and Marvin, and my brother, and my colored play mate Zeke could all do that. But mine remained the simple jump ing that started from a dead vine. Next week I’ll tell you of our greatest adventure with a grapevine. NEW PESTS For many years the boll weev il was the cotton farmer’s main dread. And the pest is still a mighty destroyer, despite our best efforts to control him. But other pests have come or grown in de structiveness. The bollworm, for instance. Smith Magazine reports: cheem STAMPS are helping “During the past lew yeass a major addition to business in the Sovth has been the stamp industry. — - “Proof of the growing importance hobterifig the area’s economy is found in the ■operations of The Spfcrry and Hutchinson Company, ■distributors of the widely-known S&H Green Stamps. 1957 alone, S&H purchased more than $12 miUioti worth of merchandise from Southern manufacturers, providing many of the area’s industries -with increased outlets for their products and boosting Southern payrolls. “Added to those figures is the $2,250,000 amnial payroll written by S&H for its present and growing -866-person Southern personnel. The Company has invested hundreds of thousands of dollars in real estate to locate its modern redemption centers, indi cating that the industry has become a permanent part of the area’s business life.” For more information, write for omr free booklet, “The Story of S&H Cash Discount Stamps."

C. THESE COUNTY AGENTS I was out in Greenwood with County Agent Garvin. A farmer asked him what to do to control snails in his well. Former Agent Carrawiy of Charleston was once asked how and what to feed a rainfrog; a lady had it as a pet. They handled each case satis factorily. These county agents! They know just about everything that’s prac tical on the farm front. Or if they don’t caiTy it in their heeds, they know where to get it. For both the agricultural college and its specialists and the USDA are at his fingertips. CONGRATULATIONS, GREENWOOD FARM WOMEN Miss Louise McColl, home agent for Greenwood, tells me their County Home Demonstrations Council has won top honors in the state for the past four years. I recall meeting with them a few years ago and noted they were an intelligent, well-organized, working group that does much good in the county. BOYS ARE THAT WAY By J. M, ELEAZER I told you last week about riding saplings to the ground, its fun and dangerous. As kids in the Stone Hills of the Dutch Fork, we rode vines too. There were many wild grape vines, specially in the low ravines and along the streams. Parents taught us to protect these, or they tried to, for they bore a lot of wild woodland bounty. The “Bullace,” or wild muscadine, was good to eat and as fine for pies and preserves as the cherries we had to plant. And the fox grapes, too, or bunch grapes, that grew on these great vines that reached the tops of the tallest trees at places, were of value too. We liked ’em, after frost came, and the muscadines had gone. But at times we were tempt ed to cut some of these vines for use, uses important to a boy. Out of them we made our only jump ropes. And, man, you had to jump, and jump good too, for those heavy gnarled vines could mortally bruise your shins if you missed. We used long ones, turned by a boy on each end, while the other one jumped. And sometimes two would get in there and jump to gether. That was the crowning event. At first we’d stand there at the right place, with the vine on the ground behind us, and they’d flip it over our heads and we’d start jumping.

Coleman Oil Company, Distributors Cancer Drive Is Over Top More than $234,000 was raised in the American Cancer Society’s 1958 Crusade over the state, ac cording to Mrs. David Ringer of Newberry, publicity chairman of the Newberry County Cancer Unit. The Newberry County Unit con tributed $4,772.63 of this amount, 40 per cent of which will go for research to further the Society’s fight against cancer. Newberry County’s quota was $4,000.00 The State exceeded its 1957 total of $210,000 by more than $24,000. Four counties reached their 15 cents per capita quota as follows: Fairfield, 15 cents per capita; Newberry, 15 cents per capita; Richland, 31.5 cents per capita; and Union, 19.6 cents per capita. Contributions to the annual Crusade are earmarked for re search, education, and service. After 40 per cent is taken out for research projects, the remaining 60 per cent goes for public and professional education, a major part "of ^the Society’s ^Crusade to i’to'the < enlighten everyone'to'the danger signals of cancer, along with service projects including help to 11 state-aid . cancer clinics in South Carolina. Other service pro grams include a laryngectomee clinic in Columbia, Spartanburg, and Charleston which trains vic tims of * cancer of the throat to speak again, and loan closets for cancer patients in all counties of the state; Administrative costs come from the 60 per cent of funds, Mrs. Ringer said.
