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

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

slipper string became untied. Hav
ing an armful of books and pa
pers, she put her foot on a rock
and asked me to tie it for her!
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.
