Plant Tulip Now and Reap the Rewards Next Spring Now and every year at this time, a wonderful gardening rit ual is taking place. Gardeners by the hundreds of thousands are planting millions of tulip bulbs, shaped like dark brown raindrops. Each gardener has a dream in color of what spring will bring out these bulbs. Most gardeners know, too, that their dreams are justified, for the tulip, like most bulbs has a built in assurance of success. Now in October, this sym bol of spring is incased within the bulbs, leaves, stem and flower, all formed and waiting for the warm rsins and sunshine of spring. About all the tulip bulb asks is a period of low temperatures for six weeks or more. In some part of the South, refrigeration for two or three months may be substitut es for nature’s snow and ice. In the South tulip bulbs are planted in December. When buying tulips select firm bulbs that are free from bruises er cuts. Some of the tulip species FARM NOTE SKlyi tig; lies; »-.i ii'iiijiii By COUNTY AGENTS Farmers Urged to Cooperate with 1959 Agricultural Census We’d like to urge all Newberry County farm families to cooperate in the 1959 Agricultural Census to be taken beginning this month. Why is a periodic Census of Ag riculture important? With over 4 million farms in this country, the only way to keep track of the con stantly changing agricultural sit uation is by a periodic census. In this way, important changes such as number and size of farms, acres of various crops, numbers and kinds of livestock, etc. are report ed and are compiled into county, state and national figures. Also remember that all informa tion given to a census enumerator is held strictly confidential. In fact a special ruling was passed by Congress last year that prohibits the Internal Revenue Service from obtaining or using information from census sources. About one week before the cen sus begins, farmers will receive a questionnaire. Each farmer is urg ed to go over this form and fill it out if possible. Then when the censustaker comes by the complet- have very small bulbs, so it is not possible to give one overall size recommendations that would ap ply to all varieties. Small numbers of bulbs can easily be planted with a trowel or specially designed bulb planting tool. Where large quantities are involved it is easier and quicker to either dig out the entire bed to the proper depth or when bulbs are to be planted in scattered groups to dig out areas that will be large etnough for from six to twelve bulbs. Tulips look best when planted in bold groups using colors that contrast or blend. Avoid planting them in straight lines or simply alternating two colors or varieties as this becomes monotonous. A protected spot near the house or against the wall will usually bring you blossoms a week earlier than in a more exposed area. Plant groups near or under a small flowering tree or shrub that blooms at the same time as the tulips. Flowering dogwoods, lit. and tulips must have been made for each other because they all bloom at the same time and al ways look well where planted to gether. Perennials Can also be combined with tulips for pleasing effects. Try bleeding heart with pink, cream or white tulips. The early blue phlox or virginia-blue-bells used as an underplanting for the tall Dariven tulips, can transform a garden into a dream world of spring beauty. Perennial candy tuft is possibly one of the best companions for tulips. If the seeds of pansies or for get-me-nots were started in sum mer the plants can be set among the tulips now where they will compliment each other with flow ers in spring. If seed has not been started plants can be bought and planted in the very early spring. In a rock garden nothing helps to pep it up for spring as well as do tulips, especially the low growing species. Within recent years a great many hybrids of these species havt been made a- vailable so that there is a wide va riety to choose from. The creative gardener is al ways looking for some improve ment or some way to get new ef fects from the old and familiar. ed form can be given to him or if it is not completed, he will fill it out in proper order. The 1959 Census of Agriculture is required by an Act of Congress. Also the Census has been endors ed by all leading Farm Organiza tions. Folks, this Census of Agricul ture is something that is good and will provide information that is needed. Your cooperation is need ed to make it as complete as it can be. DHIA Program Started « We’ve spent some time this week helping to get our newly organiz ed DHIA program started in New berry County. Henry Longshore is supervisor of our Association and is getting things off to a good start. C. H. Lomas of Clemson College who is in charge of DHIA work in South Carolina says that Henry shows the makings of a real good supervisor for this pro gram. Frankly, we’re proud that DHIA work is being started here in Newberry County. With Dairying providing a major source of our farm income, it becomes mighty important to make it an efficient operation. DHIA provides a high ly accurate system of record keep ing that enables the dairy farmer to know what his cows are doing at all times. While Newberry is the 3rd ranking dairy county in South Carolina we still have to admit that we have considerable room for improvement in our dairy farming operations. Too low pro duction per cow is our main fault. DHIA will point the way to im prove this situation quicker than any other way we know. We were quite interested in a report that came over our desk this week. This report showed the major farm commodities was less than the price being received a year ago. On the other hand the prices being received for milk and cows is about as high right now as it has ever been. No, we aren’t saying that dairy farmers are get ting rich. Far from it, we know. But, we are saying that the dairy picture is as stable and about as good as any other farm operation at present. Therefore, we think dairy farmers should realize the relative favorable position that dairying now holds and should make every effort to make their dairy farming operation as effi cient and as profitable as possible. The use of DHIA Records will as sist any dairy farmer in this res pect. Small Grain Planting Very little small grain planting has been done to date in Newber ry County. Continued wet weather County Youths Receive Awards For 4-H Work Two Newberry County youths were among the 29 South Carolina 4-H’ers who received high state awards at an Achievement Assem bly in Columbia last Friday.

Com mercial donor organizatiortfe and individuals assisted in making the awards through representatives attending the luncheon. James Dominick Jr. of Newber ry was among the four delegates chosen to attend the National 4- H Club Conference to be held in Washington, D. C.

Sinclair! S. C. PAYSINGER, Agent ' ' Phone 200 - Newberry, S. C. has held up this important job along with a good many other farm jobs needing doing right now. Which means that farmers are really pushed up right now and will be in a big hurry as soon as the weather does let up to get small grain anl other fall crops planted. Just remember that doing the job right is still important. That means good seedbed preparations, use of sufficient, good, clean, treated seed to insure a igood stand. Don’t forget to fertilize, too for adequate yields of small grains. You may be interested in a new bulletin just out. Circular 463 entitled “Small Grains for South Carolina” gives considerable use ful information for growing a bet ter crop of small grains. Your copy is available at the County Agents Office. Curing Sweet Potatoes Rains and wet fields are delay ing harvest of undug sweet pota toes and, because of excessive moisture, quality is at stake. Sweet potatoes are now show ing fresh growth cracks, decay, and high moisture content as a result of continual rains. The yield of No. 1 potatoes is being re duced and a more difficult stor age period is ifi prospect unless special precautions are taken. A better than usual job of handling, field grading, curing and storing is needed. High moisture potatoes bruise more easily and are slightly more difficult to cure. “Curing^’ is the term used to describe the wound healing period when conditions are provided for quick wound healing. All sweet potatoes have cut and abrasions as a result of harvesting injuries, but the potato is capable of de veloping several layers of new cells beneath the abrasion. These cells are produced most rapidly at tem peratures of 80-85 degrees Fah renheit and 90 percent relative humidity. When these cells are developed, the wound healing process is com plete, and sweet potatoes are pro tected against decay and drying out as long as proper storage conditions are maintaintd. Newly harvested sweet potatoes give off a considerable amount of water during the curing period and that it is important to provide enough ventilation to allow the moisture laden air to escape from the potato house. Under no circumstances should moisture be allowed to collect on the potatoes or on the walls of the storage house. After a 10- to 14-day curing period has been completed, the temperature should be lowered to 55 degrees Fahrenheit for the re mainder of the storage period. He cautioned that temperatures as low as 45 degrees or as high as 60 degrees might cause cold in jury and sprouting respectively during the storage period after curing.
