ELEAZER Ciemson Extension Information Specialist Soybean Acreage Commercial soybeans started in this state not many years ago in the vicinity of St. Matthews. As John Wannamaker there bred bet ter suited sorts, the acreage grew, overflowed the county boundaries, and now they are found all over the state. A little late in reaching the far counties, it is now to be found considerably in most. County Agent Willis of Chester field, upon the North Carolina line, tells me their soybean acre age is up about a fourth over last year, and the crop looks very promising. That and crotalaria give them a lot of summer legumes. And everything from both of these is left on the land, except the seed that are usually harvested. Fast land improvement there! > cent of the total beef used. And the tendency is still upward. Change! We have it here. Nqj wonder. Good hamburger cooked right is good eatin\ Ham burger from good lean beef, I mean, not that made from fat, scraps, and trimmings. To insure getting the right sort, we like to have it fresh ground from good quality meat. Seasonedwith a bit of garlic, salt, pepper, and touch ed off with a little Worchestire sauce, as it is finishing in the hot broiling pan, it makes mighty easy eating. It runs steak a mighty close second in my book. And it’s cheaper too. Beef production is definitely headed for the Southeast. From 1949 to 1956 beef cattle product ion increased 61 percent in the nation.

It is being developed fast. Gar vin of Greenwood tells me they now have 30 outfits. That’s a good start in a county that does not have the high per acre money value crops like peaches, tobacco, and truck, where it is taking Jiold even faster. Lloyd of Edgefield tells me 90 percent of their peaches are now irrigated. And Martin of Spartan burg, the big peach county, says it looks like it is a m atter of irri gate or get out of the business. For those recurring droughts get’em too often without it. And our tobacco man, J. M. Lewis, tells me a 1 ot of tobacco farmers now insure their stands and harvests with irrigation wat er as needed. This insurance, irrigation, is coming to corn, cotton, and past ures too at places already. My guess is we will eventually be irrigating everything we go to the trouble and expense to plant. That is, if it needs it. It is great insur ance to have. You do all in your power to make a crop. And along comes drought and threatens to take it from you. It often will too, unless you have the insurance that irrigation carries. Hamburger Ter years ago 30 percent of the homes in this country used ham burger, and it accounted for 17 percent of the beef.

ELEAZER ■ ————— !!■— — — Last week I told you of our using grapevines for jump ropes. We had to do that mainly down in the pasture, for parents taught us not to cut the fruitful vines of the wild grapes that abounded in our Stone Hills of the Dutch Fork when we came along. The best time we ever had with a grapevine was down on our Wateree Creek, just below where Rister Creek came into it. There was a giant ash tree leaning over a sizable pool there in the bend of the creek. On the far bank of the crescent the moving water had cut a deep hole and and sharp high bank. The bank on our side was a bit lower and the water was shal lower there. The place was about 50 feet wide. A three-inch grapevine hung from close to the top of that tall tree, right over that pool, and gracefully arched back to the bank on our side, where it was rooted. We saw *it in a great swing. So we chopped it off.. It got loose from us and hung right in the middle of the creek. It was “dog days” and parents had read the law down to us about not go ing into the water then. We thought it would make sores break out on us. But we had a problem. How were we going to get our vine ? Ben, always our daredevil, vol unteered to go in there and pull the loose end back to the bank. For that, he got the first ride. He went away back up the sloping bank about 40 feet up and grace fully glided back and clear across the creek. Every boy’s eyes sparkled with anticipation and there were smiles on all faces. Ben took off on the other side and glided back across to u!s. We fuss ed for about 10 minutes before we could determine who was to get the next ride. So we fixed a lot of straws of different length. Ben held them, and we drew for our turns. So around and around we went, riding high and handsome across that creek above the forbidden water. About my third turn, I failed to go far enough up the bank to start, and didn’t have enough momentum to take me across. Back and forth I swung on that dying pendulum, as they laughed in glee and I got more and more scared. Finally it came to a halt, hanging right in the middle of that deep water, with me there on the end of it. I got almost panicky. Ben said I couldn’t swim very good; so he’d come in there with an old floating log and for me to drop off when he was near. I did and frantically grabbed that log, as I came up, strangling on water. It’s a wonder any of us kids survived. But we did. I’ve heard the Lord takes care of fools and children. And he must. James R. Leavell, who has been critically ill at his home on Mar tin St. the past two weeks, was taken Monday to the Veterans Administration hospital in Co lumbia. His condition remains critical.” Mrs. C. L.
