i r '- PAGE FOUR THE NEWBERRY SUN THURSDAY, AUGUST 13, 1959 i p w i i I- * h FARMS AND FOLKS By J. M. ELEIAZER CUmson Extension Information Specialist Grain Up and Corn Down While the corn acreage in South Carolina has been declining in re cent years, the grain acreage has been going up. There are good reasons for this, according to extension agronomist Hugh Woodle. Crain can be more fully mechanized than corn and it grows during the season we usual ly have a better moisture supply. Drought so often damages corn prospects. Our corn acreage was once al most two milliort acres. It is now about 1 million. But yields have about doubled. Most of this has taken place since Clemson’s 5- point Corn Production Program was started over the state about 10 years ago. Master farmer W. N. Henderson of Greenwood county, who has won many prizes growing corn, cotton, and grain, feels that barley will eventually replace most of the corn in the up-country. It has about the same feed value and uses as corn, and his experience ahows he can produce it cheaper and surer than corn. Better lo cally adapted varieties offer a challenge to the plant breeders, he feels. He brought in a new strain from Oklahoma the past season that looked awful good. But for best results new varieties of crops need to be produced nearer home, where they will be fully acclimat ed. The County Agents Say Altman of Marion says they have a 4-H electric club of 33 members. In it the youngsters get a primary working knowledge of this great farm servant, electri city. Liebenrood of Georgetown says their Pleasant Hill Community Orgaization raised over $1,000 with a barbecue supper to go on the construction of their commun ity center. A lot of Community Development work of this sort is revitalizing communities in all parts of the state. Epps of Dorchester says Coas tal Bermuda acreage was about doubled there this year. We had good spring moisture over the state for planting it this time and generally good stands were secur ed. Witherspoon of Dillon tells of a 4-H timber thinning demonstra tion in one community in which 16 boys participated. Learning a new are there.. Harrington of Williamsburg re ports that the Millwood Commun ity Development Club has set up as a goal the securing of group hos pital insurance. This is a need in every home. The Farm Machinery Day in Greenville was a success, with about 300 in attendance, accord ing to County Agent Jones. Learn ing the ways of the machine is im portant, as we discard the mule. Well, over a thousand additional acres were added to their total of Coastal Bermuda in Kershaw the past spring, according to County Agent McCarley. “The largest acreage of Coastal Bermuda in history,” was planted in Union, says County Agent Cochran. And “Our Aitificial Breeding Coop is about 60 per cent ahead of last year, and last year was a cracking good one,” says Craven of Saluda. Fast dairy cttle im provement there. Boys Are That Way We kids went barefooted from early until late. At a fixed date in early spring we were permitted to liberate our feet from the brogans that had confined them for the winter. We longed for that day, and pestered our parents a lot about moving the time up a little. But they nev er budged. On the appointed day, they made us wait until noon. We counted the hours. Then, as the clock struck 12, we went out to the horse trough, pulled the shoes and stockings off, soused our liberated feet under the cold water, and then we were ready for the first footrace. With those heavy shoes off, our feet felt so light we just wanted to run. Bat rocks and sharp gravel that abounded in our stone hills soon impressed their caution, and we had to take it easy for a while. Our feet toughened so rapidly though, and soon we were able to run without specially looking. The barefoot days were glor ious from about April to No vember. As the first frosts of winter started biting down, our numb feet were easy to bruise, * for some reason. And then, if we hit a rock specially hard, it would easily cause a “stone bruise” that was hard to heal. The place would turn dark and fester under the hard hoof-like skin that had formed under the bottoms of our feet during sum mer. It would be a long time breaking through, and we wouldn’t let anyone touch it with a pin. That skin was so tough it would hurt a lot to pick through it and let the thing drain. But, at long last, we would hit something with it. The pain literally knocked the hat off our head. It popped. And that was the end of it. Soon we could put our shoes on, as the others already had. Kinard Rites In Clinton Clark O. Kinard, 59, of Joanna, died early Friday morning at the Joanna hospital after an illness of two days. Mr. Kinard was born in the New Hope section of Newberry County, a son of the late J. J. and Mamie Oxner Kinard.
