Higgins reported 1958 Kendall sales of $103,382,000 and net earnings of 83,805,000 or $3.60 per common share, from the manufacture of surgical dressings textile special ties, polyethylene tapes and other Kendall products. Mr. Higgins said that 1958 had been particularly difficult due to the loss and replacement of cer tain types of business, depressed conditions in textiles and the na tional recession. He pointed out, however, that the fluctuation of Kendall’s earnings had been slight. The company, with sixteen do mestic and three foreign plants, moved last year toward consoli dation of three-plant elastic goods operation at a new plant in Seneca, South Carolina. Also, the report announced the formation of the Kendall Company international division and described a new Ken dall textile sales organization. It is expected that the results of these moves will be apparent by the middle of the year. Mr. Higgins cited the continu ing growth of Kendall Polyken polyethylene protective pipeline coating. Shipments on major ord ers continue and further progress in this field is expected in 1959, he said. FARMS AND FOLKS By J. M.

Fulmer Rites Sunday In Pennsylvania Funeral services for the Rev. Yerley L. Fulmer, who died Thursday in Marietta, Pa., were conducted at 2 p.m. Sunday. In terment was at Zion Lutheran Church Cemetery, Leacock, Pa. The Rev. Mr. Fulmer died sud denly at 5 a.m. Thursday after he collapsed at the alter while conducting Lenten Service Wed nesday night. For 15 years he served as pastor of Mayer Memorial Luth eran Church in Newberry and moved to Quicksburg Va. in 1949. The son of Mr. and Mrs. S. C. Fulmer Sr. of Columbia, Pastor Fulmer was horn Sept. 18, 1887 at Chapin. He received his pre liminary education at Pine Ridge High School. He was graduated Irom Lenior Rhyne College at Hickory, N. C., in 1910. He then entered the Southern Theologi cal Seminary at Columbia and graduated in 1913. On May 11, 1913, he was ordained by the South Carolina Synod in St. Luke’s Lutheran Church, Co lumbia. The Rev. Mr. Fulmer was first called to Bethel Lutheran Church at White Rock. In 1914, with the assistance of J. E. Halti- wanger, Pastor Fulmer, organi zed St. John’s Lutheran Church near Columbia, and acted as sup ply pastor. Also during his min istry at White Rock, he served on the board at the Lowman Home. He was then called to Newton, N. C., where he served from 1917 to 1920. While at New ton, the Rev. Mr. Fulmer receiv ed his teachers certificate from Catawba College. In connection with his pastoral duties, he serv ed as supply teacher at Newton High School, principal of Rain- hardt School and superinten dent of Conover High School. In 1920, Pastor Fulmer was called to Timberville, Va., where he served until 1923. He then COTTON NOW Cotton has greatly changed in stature over this state in recent years. It seems to be now finding the place it will likely occupy in the new agriculture. From some large areas, whole counties, where lands are rather rough, fields small, and growing season late, it seems all but gone. In others, with larger fields of good cotton land suited to mech anization, it seems to De digging in to stay. Let’s look at Anderson. That county is in a general area from which most of the cotton has gone. Yet it has some fine cotton lands and the crop still looks all right there. County Agent Marett tells me they averaged over a bale per acre there the past year. Now, folks, it sure looks like it’s going to take a bale or more per acre to enable an area to stay in the cotton business in the fu ture. Some states in the Far West average two bales per acre. And we have to get our yields up too, if we are to stay with cotton. A new production element has entered the cotton picture in a big way in recent years. That is irrigation. It hasn’t been long since very little of the cotton crop in this country was produced un der irrigation. Now close to half of it is. And that is increasing re- pidly. In 1954 it more than doub led the yield of cotton at Ciem son’s Sandhill Station. And the average increase at Ciemson for a number of years has been a half bale per acre, taking the years as they came. DEHYDRATION IN CHESTERFIELD Ciemson has done considerable research work on the dehydration and pelleting of forage, crops, no tably Coastal Bermuda grass, les- pedeza sericea, and alfalfa. This is fascinating field in which you catch forage in its prime, dry it, •:nd concentrate it so, with all of its fresh value, that animals can eat enough of it to give the status of a concentrate feed that will fatten. Then too, you get around the hazards of weather usually encountered in the natural curing of roughages. County Agent Willis of Chester- fied tells me the Chairman of their County Agricultural Committee has appointed a strong 14 man committee to study the advisa bility of organizing a cooperative to build such a dehydration and accepted a call to Zion Lutheran Church at Leacock, Pa(. While there, he received his M. A. de gree from Franklin Marshall Col lege, Lancaster, Pa. In 1928, Pastor Fulmer accepted the call to serve at Johnston, S. C., where he served until 1934. From Johnston, he came to Newberry. After serving the Quicksburg, Va., church, the Rev. Mr. Fulmer left in 1951 and dur ing the last eight years of his life, served at Zion Lutheran Church in Marietta, Pa. He is survived by his widow, Edith Schell, formerly of Hick ory, N. €.; four daughters, Mrs. Lewis Pitts of Leacock, Pa., Mrs. Carlisle Lever of Florence, Mrs. Joe Craft of Charlotte and Miss Lorene Fulmer of Columbia; two sons, John H. Fulmer of- Calhoun Falls, and James V. Fulmer of Marietta, Pa.; his parents, Mr. and Mrs. S. C. Fulmer of Colum bia; three brothers, Leroy Ful mer of Newberry, S. C. Fulmer Jr. of Spartanburg and B. E. Ful mer of Columbia; six sisters, Mrs. Elmer Frick, Miss Idera Fulmer and Mrs. Henry Shealy, all of Columbia, Mrs. Yoder Shealy of Chapin, Mrs. David Shealy of Little Mountain and Mrs. Claude Shealy of Gastonia, N. C. Twelve grandchildren and a number of nieces and nephews also survive. pelleting plant there. APPLES IN OCONEE. GRAPES TOO As the new year gets well under way, County Agent Morgan tells me of increasing apple interest in Oconee. I’ve told you of the fine job a group of growers is doing up there in producing quality apples. Well, he tells me, they have planted 91 additional acres during the current season. And there’s consideraole inte rest in joining in with other coun ties in the planting of grapes too, he says. With the prospect for a grape juice plant in this area, this grape interest is rather wide spread. Ciemson has demonstrated they can be economically produced here. The main obstacle has been a market for grapes in quantity, for the local fresh market can be filled mighty easy. The past sum mer our marketing division made contact with a large grape juice outfit up in New York state and shipped them a number of truck- loads. They liked the grapes and the price was satisfactory to the growers I’ve talked with. There is a plan on foot for a plant to be built here and leased to that out fit, provided we plant enough grapes to make it look feasible. BOYS ARE THAI WAY As a kid, I liked flowers. All of us did. That helped make spring our most cherished season there in the Stone Hills of the Dutch Fork. Spring had other compensations too. But here I want to just talk of the flower angle. Before winter was even good gone, our hunger for flowers grew. The first thing resembling flow ers was the catkins chat came early to the beech trees along the creeks and branches. These varied in size, and we liked the larger ones. Down on Wateree Creek grew a lot of the latter sort. So the kids coming from that direc tion would bring us a bouquets of those “tags”, we called ’em. And we treasured them highly. Following the catkins on the beech bush was the first real her ald of spring in the form of the red that came to the maples. My how we coveted them! And they were hard to get. For it seemed they always grew in the hard places, those trees were high, and the blooms were on the far ends of their branches. However we made every effort to get great armfuls of maple blooms. What for, I do not know. For they very soon wilted and were not pretty like when on the tree. And so it was as the spring sea son grew. Dogwood! How we liked them, as they covered our budding- woodland with a veritable late snov\ Those we’d gather by the armfuls. And away back in our woods we found, a pink one. The only natural wild pink onel ever saw. Crabapples were rather scarce, and that made _ their heaultiful pink flowers all the more sought after. Parents cautioned us not to break those trees up so, for we valued the apples for canning. Then there was the woodbine, whose little red trumpets intri gued us so, and the yellow jasmine (now our state flower) that shed its pure gold on fence and hedge. We specially liked the latter, for it was one wild flower that would last in the house. And then the very acme of wild flowers was the sweet arbutas that grew sparsely partly under the deep litter on northern shaded slopes. They were treasured for sure, for they were not only rare but so sweet. Next week more about flowers. and other valuable considerations. Whitmire No. 4 J. P. Stevens and Company, Inc. to Mi-s.
