FARMS AND FOLKS
By J. M. ELEAZER
Ciemson Extension Information Specialist
FERTILIZER USE
Our fertilizer man, Bruce Cloan-
inger, tells me the use of mixed
fertilizer in the state was up 13.6
•percent for the last half of 1958
over the same period the year be
fore. And the sales of nitrogenous
materials were up 21.6 percent.
By far the leading grade of
mixed fertilizer sold was 4-12-12.
And the next was 3-12-12.
Both experiments and experi
ence show we haven’t yet reached
very near the maximum point of
economic fertilization. All costs
are so high that when we put our
land, good seed, good stands, culti
vation, and insect and disease con
trol into a crop, it’s poor economy
to cramp the result with insuffi
cient plant food. For that, along
with water, is what makes things
* # tater” out into abundant yields of
quality products, in most cases.
About the only exception to this
liberal fertilization principle I
know is Turkish tobacco. It does
best, for the purpose it is intend
ed, on a light diet.
Yes, plant food and water! They
weigh mightily in the harvest. We
grow some fertility. And we get
the rest in a sack, or some bulk
goods now. A well fertilized crop
develops better root system and
seems to stand drought better.
But when the needed water fails
to come from the skies, it’s mighty
good to have some you can give
your 'crop through supplemental
irrigation. For without water, it
can’t effectively use the power
you’ve packed there with ferti
lizer, good seed, and good me
thods.
AROMATIC TOBACCO
There are few crops we are not
over producing. Aromatic tobacco
is one. We are beginning to grow
a little. But still we import many
times what we grow.
Ciemson has promoted small
plantings of this crop for some
years now, mainly on the small
farms of the Piedmont, where
there is considerable family labor.
This crop requires a lot of hand-
labor, mostly light family labor
that the women and children can
help with.
We have two assistant county
agents who work with those who
plant this crop. They are G. D.
Butler of Greenville and D. P.
Matheson of Oconee. Their work
spreads out in the counties where
demonstration plantings of this
crop are made.
I said it is a high labor crop,
requiring quite a bit of it at times.
So rather small acreages are the
rule. But, taken care of, a rather
small patch can bring an income
of $1 to $1.50 for every hour of
work that goes into the making
of it.
North Carolina has a similar
project with this new' money crop.
Last year they report their 160
acres of it made 130,147 pounds
that brought $113,877, or an aver
age of 87.5 cents a pound.
4-H IN SUMTER
Sumter has long had a strong
4-H program. Many of the leaders
in business and agriculture there
now are old 4-H Club members. In
fact, just about everywhere Coun
ty Agent Bowen turns, he runs
into leaders now who were boys
in 4-H under him back sometime
during his 25 years there.
Assistant Agent Tillman there
tells me their 544 w'hite boys in
4-H came up with 454 project
completions the past season. And
they also have a large enrollment
of girls too in that county, as well
as colored boys and girls.
Mrs. George L. Epps left Satur
day for Augusta, Ga. to spend
Easter with her son, Sanford Epps
and family. After a week’s visit
there, she wdll go on to Columbus,
Ga. for several weeks visit with
her other son, Dr. George L. Epps
and family.

ficient if you thoroughly soak the
lawn. Siprinkling can be more
harmful than good. Sprinkling
causes the roots to be drawn tow
ard the surface where they can
be damaged more easily.
Fertilize liberally—for surest
needs take a soil sample, but gen
erally about 25 pounds of 4-12-12
fertilizer per 1,000 square feet
should be applied in early spring
and the same amount again in late
summer. Apply nitrogen top dress
ing as needed to keep the grass
green. It is wise to water the lawn
thoroughly after fertilization to
prevent burning by nitrogen fer
tilizers.
Warning—Care should be ex
ercised in using nitrogen on centi
pede grass. Soaking is essential
writh this grass to prevent ruin
ing your lawn. Some use cotton
seed meal as a source of nitrogen
for centipede grass; there is no
chance of injury with cottonseed
meal.
Pick up a lawn circular at the
County Agents Office. Write, call
or drop by; we will be happy to
assist you with lawn information.
The name of the circular is
“Lawns for South Carolina.”
Barbecuing Chickens
Just about everybody likes bar
becued chicken. Why not try the
method as recommended by Ciem
son College in Circular 446 “Bar
becuing Chickens”?
Within this circular is informa
tion concerning one way to make
your own barbecue stand, infor
mation as to one way to barbecue
the chicken, and general informa
tion as to supplies and equipment
needed for a poultry barbecue for
10 to 100 people.
“Farm Orchard Bulletin 89”
This bulletin is very good to
have around any home where fruit
trees and small fruits, as strawber
ries, are raised. It is full of rec
ommendations for the best results
•with numerous fruits of all types.
Ask for it at the County Agents
Office. There is no charge for any
of the bulletins or circulars from
Ciemson College.
“Care of Ornamental Plants”
Circular 430
Most of the ladies like this cir
cular. It contains valuable infor
mation about ornamental plants.
Control of insects -will soon be of
importance among the ornamental
plants around the home. Get one
now; it is interesting to read and
beneficial to plants if recommen
dations are followed.
