C. By COUNTY AGENTS Will Grapes Fit Into Your Farm Operation? We have mentioned grape pro duction to you prior to this, but we wish to remind you of this new cash crop for the Piedmont Section of the state and Newberry County. Next year the newly formed Palmetto Grape Marketing Asso ciation plans to build, in the Piedmont, $250,000 grape-juice processing plant. This could mean as much as $800,000 extra in come to Piedmont farmers. This plant will be owned by the grape producers. If you decide to put in grapes and join the co-op, then you too, will own shares ir the plant and share in any divi dends to be had in future years. The Seneca Grape Juice Company of New York will lease the plant for 10 years. All growers, who join the coop, will contract to sell their grapes to the Seneca Com pany at a guaranteed minimum price of $75 per ton. This plant will need 2,000 acres of grapes to produce enough grapes to operate the 6,000 ton capacity plant. Already over 1,- 237 acres in 19 counties have been signed up. There were 100,000 new vines set out this past spring. How much would it cost you to otart into grape production? Be tween $200 and $250 per acre, plus $50 per acre to join the co op. I don’t think we could really say the $50 per acre to join would be cost. This fee guarantees you a market for at least 10 years plus possible dividends within that length of time. The $200-$250 per acre should take care of all costs to include your wire, posts plants and labor. We will give you an example of what you could expect. You set out your vines next, spring; the following summer you can get up to a ton of grapes per acre, with proper care and management The third and fourth year you can expect 4 tons or better. We visited several vineyards in Lau tens County recently. One produ cer estimated his labor (harvest ing, pruning), spraying and cul tivation costs at around $125-150 per acre per year. He had some young vines as well as 4 year old vines. On his older vines, last year, he produced approximately 7 tons per acre. His crop this FARMS AND FOLKS By J. M.

ENTERPRISE Soil Testing Soil testing is on the increase in practically all counties. Proper ly taken samples are gotten and sent to Clemson. They are tested and reported back. Based on the information thus secured, the county agent can intelligently ad vise about liming and fertilizing those fields. Clemson’s revised Circular 459 gives detailed instruc tions about all of this. It is free from your county agent. County Agent Hubbard of Bam berg says: ‘‘More and more farm ers are coming to depend on these tests as a basis for their soil fer tility programs. There is a great deal of interest building up for or ganizing a campaign to have every farm in the county tested.” Cheapest Feed I heard an$ expert say recently: “The cheapest feed a farmer can buy is fertilizer to grass.” Yes, both experiment and ex perience show every dollar you spend on fertilizer for grass us ually returns several dollars in livestock growth. I was in the County Agent’s of- ^’ear has been estimated higher. Suppose we take a minimum of grapes to be expected on 4 year vines, 4 tons, and figure profits. At $75.00 minimum guaranteed price this would figure $300 gross per acre. Taking away our ex penses of $150, this still leaves you $150 per acre profit. Keep in mind that your production should be over 4 tons per acre with good management and that the $75 minimum price should be higher once the plant is in full opera tion. The above example is a guide to use in deciding whether you feel you wish to set out a grape vine yard. The costs will vary with each different grower depending on how he manages his farm op eration. We are not saying this is a crop with which you can make a mil lion, but we certainly feel it has a place in Newberry County. Come in to see us at the County Agents office if you are interest ed. We would like to know by the first of August. Vines are going to be ordered and the remainder of the 2,000 acres possibly be al located to other counties. Once the goal of 2,000 acres is reached, members of the coop will be the first to be allowed to increase ac reages as the plant needs more acreage. New members will have to wait for openings or expansion of the plant to exceed the acreage the present members demand. You may wish to visit some present growers in other coun ties. We will gladly assist you with the names of some produc ers. Cotton Insects With all the rain we have been receiving, we can expect the cot ton boll weevil and boll worm to start feasting pretty heavily. Don’t neglect your cotton; as soon as conditions permit, spray or dust for control. Some cotton has made the bottom crop already, but don’t neglect to save the top crop. This may be the difference in yield needled to make a profit. Bulletins Don’t forget we have pamph lets, circulars and bulletins con taining recommendations from Clemson College about almost anything in the field of agricul ture. This material is free for the asking. Get them and read them, we all learn something new every day. fice at Laurens a few years ago in the spring. A farmer came in and asked how much fertilizer to put to the Coastal Bermuda grass be had put out the year before. Another farmer was sitting thei’e who had had considerable exper ience along that line. He inter rupted by asking how much graz ing the man wanted. Now folks, with a grass like Coastal, that was a very import ant point that man made. For it has the ability to use heavy ferti lization profitably. So generally, if you need more forage from your pastures, con sider putting more fertilizer, spec ially nitrogen to it. For then you not only get a lot more but a lot richer grazing from it. And heav ily fertilized grass devtelops a better root system and seems to stand droughts better. Wheat’s Dilemma All crops have their problems. And wheat is no exception. Look at it. We had enough wheat on hand to do us if we hadn’t plant ed any this year. Now another bumper crop piles up on that. And look at what’s happened to consumption of wheat in this country. ^ Back in 1910 we averag ed using 315 pounds of wheat per capita. By 1945 that had dropped to 230. And last year they tell me it was only 167 pounds! On top of this declining use of wheat in our diet, look what hap pened to the yield. In the mid thirties we were averaging about 10 bushels per acre in this coun try. Last year we averaged 26 bushels of wheat per acre! This sure makes a farm prob lem. But, as a Cornell economist points out, having a “farm prob lem” is better than having a “food problem,” as many countries have. And he says we should all be grateful for our abundance. But it should not be permitted to ruin the farmer. And our farm programs have been aimed at re medying just that. Killed Early Grass County Agent Lloyd of Edge- field says, “Maurice Smith used pre-merge weed control on more than 100 acres of cotton with ex cellent results.” Most counties had demonstra tions of it. CoVi.ity Agent Jones of Greenville tells me Smith and Brooks of Fountain Inn had an outstanding demonstration of it too. The past wet spring was ohe on which this treatment could really show its stuff. On a dry spring it shows little results, for grass just does not come. But on a wet year is when it will save your crop. Boys Are That Way The first woman teacher we had at our old one-teacher school a- way back in the Stone Hills was when I was about 8 and had been in school two years. I thought she was the prettiest and nicest thing I had ever seen. Her gentle na ture was so different to the stern, rod-wielding men we had before that it stood out like pleasant sunshine. She boarded near our house, so she walked our path home. I was a bit bashful, but used to walk along near her a lots. She was friendly, and wxmld talk and laugh with us. She was the first teacher the older student could re member that they were not afraid of. And she had no problems of discipline, for we liked her. One day, late in the school year, I was walking with her, and the other kids had fallen behind. Her Homeowners Policies WHY PAY MORE? Get 1. Dwelling Coverage 2. Contents Coverage 3.

Now', folks, I’ve had my normal share of thrills in life, the same as you. And I count back through them now as I write. But in gold en memory, none stand out any where near this crowning event that happened back there on a pine ridge in the Stone Hills of the Dutch Fork a half century, ago. For, for me then, that was surely the golden slipper that my prin cess was wearing. And to be able to touch it was glory indeed! Yes, glory that set every nerve in my body to tingling. Every emotion in my soul to soaring. And every reach of my imagination to build ing air castles of grandeur. What a thrill! The other kids never teased me. However, I was too happy to even think of ‘ that danger then. I think they too liked her so much they just didn’t think of doing that. eon of Greenwood, Ossie McCut- cheon of North Adams, Miss., and E. F. McCutcheon of Newberry; two sisters, Mrs. Joe C.
