3 FARMS AND FOLKS

SOYBEANS
?,jSoybeans are fast replacing cot-
tm’s lost acreage in South Caro-
H»a. Some counties in the mid-
state that were once our big cot-
ton counties, and still are, now
plant far more soybeans than cot
ton. And the county agents tell
me the acreage is constantly grow
ing.
^Soybeans vary constantly in oil
content, scientists have found. It
appears that the percentage of
this valuable edible vegetable oil
can be increased by breeding for it.
Work is being done at places on
that now. Likely at some time
in the future this oil content will
be used as a measure of the price
soybeans will bring.
It is heartening to this industry
to see that a half-million dollar
soybean processing plant is plan
ned for Estill. Harper and Bowers
already have a million and a
quarter bushels of modern elevator
storage there. And there are also
large new elevators at Allendale,
Cameron and Sumter.
Good, safe, bankable storage is
essential to the growth of this in
dustry. And it’s good to see it com
ing to the soybean area. And, of
course, we need it and will use it
for other things too. For we grow
quite a bit of commercial grains
too.
APPLES IN OCONEE
Riding over South Carolina, one
sees new crops in all areas, or en
largements of old ones that are
taking on new life in the diversi
fied scheme that follows all-cotton
like we once had.
In the Long Creek section of
Oqonee county it is apples. That
area has always grown some ap
ples. But up to late years they
were mainl
.mainly itt'"
season about a thousand acres have
been signed up with the Palmetto
Grape Marketing Association. And
Roy tells me there are good pro
spects for many more.
For the past several years a
scattering of bunch grapes has
been planted over this area and it
was just last summer that they
came into production in sufficient
volume to justify looking for a
wholesale outlet. This the market
ing men of Clemson found at a
processing plant up in New York
State. A number of large truck-
loads were assembled, with the
help of local county agents and ag
teachers, and shipped up there.
Those folks liked our grapes and
our growers were pretty well pleas
ed with prices gotten.
If sufficient acreage is planted
down here, this firm shows a de
finite interest in establishing a
5 E0KGE PEABODY
srrmiehv old man. Hi
was a
grouchy old man. He neither
^-denied this fact nor apologized
I for it.* AH this, of course, before
"‘"the widow Simpeon came.
& Notoriety, however, travels with
^ the speed of sound. The widow
**< Simpson was apprised of George
L:Peabody’s bad temper the very
day she rented the house.
This r disturbed George Peabody.
? For once in his miserable life he
? wished to be looked upon as a
_ genial gentleman. The widow Simp-
%son wds pretty. There seemed little
f that hh could do to alter the sit-
uation-f—until fate, with the help
*k>t Johhnie Wilson, sent the base-
.ball though his front window.
“Fllfhave the law on you, you
'-young 1 jwhippei snapper! ” cried
i George^ shaking his fist at the
4?boy. 13»en he paused. This atti
tude certainly wouldn’t soften the
Jbwidow^Simpson’s opinion of him.
\ “I’m sorry' Mr. Peabody,’’ said
Johnnie Wilson.
George saw his chance. Al
though the effort was painful, he
forced a smile. “I was only jok
ing, son. Forget the window.
You’re a brave lad for not run
ning off like the rest of them.’’
“Yes sir,’’ said Johnnie.
“Before you go will you give
me a hand measuring the win
dow? I’ll have to order a new
pane of glass.’’
“Yes sir. Will—will I have to
pay for it?’’
*.■ “Not at all. Til get it for my-
•elf—as a birthday present’’ He
lowerejiyM* voice to confide: “I’ll
;-t>e sixty years old next Wednes-
Need a hand there?” It was Ned
Cooper.
Ned opened the gate and came
up the walk. As they applied
putty to the window a few min
utes later he said: “See you got
a new neighbor; charming lady,
isn’t she?”
“She certainly is!” agreed
George warmly.
“My wife tells me she met her
at the beauty shop. Didn’t talk
much though. Seems that Mrs.
Simpson was on her way over to
the station to meet a Mr. Phillips.”
“Oh.” He might have known!
On the morning of his birthday
George Peabody felt older than
usual. He was.passing Mrs. Simp
son’s place when he heard her
calling.
“Mr. Peabody where are you-
going?”
He would have told anyone else
to mind his own busmess. For
some reason he decided to lie:
“Out of town.”
“But you can’t do that!” she
cried in dismay.
“I can’t? And who would stop
me?” he challenged.
She looked over her shoulder
first, then said in a half-whisper:
“It just wouldn’t be fair to the
boys. Johnnie Wilson and his
friends are planning to surprise
you with a little birthday party-
right after school. I’ve baked a
cake for them—for you—”
She blushed. George felt good.
“You baked a cake for me?” he
asked wonBeripgly. “But—but
what about Mr. Phillips?”
“What about him? He’s only
my lawyer. Surely I don’t need
bis permission to give a party for
another gentleman, do I? Please
tay you’U coi^e.

knoW-hotv they could get
from Clemson and elsewhere and
coining up with first quality apples
County agentSpl^prgan tells me
the paSt winter §1 acres of new
varieties of apples were set out.
Our fruit man, Roy Feree, feels
that this area has a real oppor
tunity with apples. It comes in a
little earlier than competing areas,
and that usually finds the market
sort of apple hungry. For this
reason, he feels that we might
not have to go into the storage of
apples, as the other areas have
to.
The claim has been long made
that our mountain apples have
superior quality to western apples
of the same variety. I asked our
Dr. H. P. Cooper about that. He
said it was true. Ours grow on
soils that have an acid base. And
some of this is passed on to the
apple to give it that little tang
that’s delightfully different. While
the western apples grow on basic
soils that tend to blot out the bit
of normal acidity so many folks
like in an apple. Theirs are blander
of taste.
WOULD YOU BELIEVE IT?
Wheat stored 33 years by the
United States Department of
Agriculture still made perfectly
good bread. But it wouldn’t sprout.
There is talk of possibly using
the arctic regions to store foods
in the future during times of plen
ty for distant years when * short
ages might come. The big thing
about storage there is the safety
of it. No insect, fire, water, humi
dity, drying out, fungicidal, or
bacterial damage to guard against
or contend with.

TOBACCO IN CHEftOKEE
Thirteen farpierfi'' In Cherokee
county signed up to plant, 15.5
acres of aromatic tobacco this
year, Assistant County Agent
Ridgeway tells me. „ ^
These demonstrations, like . the
others over the Piedmont area,
will be under ojor of Clemspn’s
nook.
The ginhouse was a spreading
two-story affair, with flour mill
on the ground floor. Upstairs was
the gin. Yes, one little open-hop
per gin at the back of that one
big room. And the press was right
at the door, where we took the cot
ton in. Looks like those two things
were just backwards.
Folks on the wagon would fill
the whiteoak split baskets with
the seed cotton, hoist them up on
a platform, and from there others
put them up to the door. From
there we toted’em back to the gin
and poured the seed cotton into
the hopper.
The lint came out the back of
the gin in a broad roll that piled
up there. When a double armful
accumulated, a man would spread
his arms and pick it up. He’d take
it clear back near the door and
brow it down in the press, which
ppeared as a hole in the floor,
ith sides that were hooked up
hen all was in. We kids would
lay in that press and tamp ^tbe
ose cotton down. We had t£ fae
areful not to jump in until iliejre ^
as enough cotton in it to^suj)
ort us pretty well, or we’d sink
ut of sight in the fleecy staple.
s a wonder some of us didn’t
et smothered in that stuff, for
hat press was 12 or 15 feet deep,
clear to the ground.
When the -bale was to be press
ed, the screw came up from the
bottom and padked the cotton
light against the top of the press
upstairs there, where the bagging
and ties were put on and the bale
released.

one commodity we‘ irdport a lot of.
So the opportunity is Wide Open
for a considerable mrqduction of it;
GRAIN SORGHUM HYBRIDS
County Agent 'Livingston of
Charleston says, “Several varieties tiing season. But we didn’t.
of new experimental grain sor
ghums are planted in the county
this year.”
Last .year County Agent Craven
of Saluda had similar tests and
found that some of the new hy
brids did considerably better than
the old varieties we have been
planting. This county has been
growing considerable grain sor
ghum for some years.
The new hybrids are being sy
stematically tested out by Clem
son. As they prove themselves in
the field, and as seed supplies .ber
come available, they will 1 W&

BOYS ARE THAT WAY
Of late I went to the Stone Hills
of the Dutch Fork, where child.-
hood’s happy days were spent.
It’s always good to go back
there. But I’m sure I’d not like to
stay. For time changes and us
too. So it is in memory we cap
best linger back there.
I went down on the creek of
many memories. It had changed so
I hardly recognized it. The chan
nel that once trickled with cleajf
water had largely silted up whe
|he hills were cleared. Now thos
lands have largely gone back t
od and tree, and we see the wate
learing up there again.
On the way back I came by the
Id locust tree, surely a milestone
n our memories. It marked a
and-corner and we feasted on our
oney-locust pods from it in. our
ime. It had specially good ones,
4md we let a few of them waste.
Its long, sharp, forked thorns kept
is from climbing it. But with the
bundant rocks that lay around,
e knocked them off. Late in the
eason an occasional worm would
e in the good meat of the pods,
ut that didn’t bother us much.

It gave rise to the saying, what’s
worse than seeing a worm in the
locust you are eating? The an
swer was, a half of one.
Well, the old locust tree, al
though long-lived, had gone. And
some' of its sprouts marked its
spot. • Our field that bordered it,
where many a hot day I toiled, had
been turned out and it came back
thick with pines now almost ready
to cut. With Jfehat changa I, won dar
ed if kids would again eact honey
