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.”

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. Bat the ac
complished jumper would let

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.
Boundary School
Teachers Feted
The Boundary Street Parent-

Thursday night, September 11. C.
M. Smith, president, presided.
Other new officers are vice-presi
dent, Dr. E. M. Anderson; secre

The meeting was opened with
devotionals conducted by the Rev.

meeting followed, during which
chairmen of all standing commit

Following the business meeting
a reception was given in honor of
the teachers of Boundary Street:
Mrs. P. N. Abrams, Miss Evelyn
Denise Pellegren, “Daredevil Motorcyclist”, one of the many attractions on the combined Martafr*
Manning Shows Midway at the Fair. '
This year’s midway will be the
largest in all its eventful history,
according to reports received to
day from officials.
The John H. Marks Shows have
combined for the Southern fairs
circuit with the popular Ross Man
ning Shows—a merger of two of
the largest tented arausemept en
terprises on tour, and the result is
“A Mile Long Pleasure Trail,”
with more and better thrill rides
and midway shows than in form
er years.
A total of 21 major and minia
ture rides, fifteen high-class
shows, and a complete “Children’s
Playland” with miniature rides for
the smaller youngsters, will be
among the many attractions on the
mammoth midway starting Mon
