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

Clark O. Kinard, 59, of Joanna,
