PAGE EIGHT THE NEWBERRY SUN, NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA THURSDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1962 l P M ■! Li FARM NOTESliSSs? < ^ i ii.iiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiniiTr By COUNTY AGENTS FAIR REVIEW We think this year’s Newberry- Saluda County Fair was a good one. i The community booths and exhibits in the main building were most attractive and educational. The flower arrangements and ex hibit? were the most beautiful ever in oi^r opinion. Also we hope you made it through the livestock barn to see the dairy cattle exhibits. One hundred twenty-six head made up the largest dairy cattle show we’ve ever had in Newberry. This ranks Newberry as having aiK>ut the third largest dairy cattle show in the entire state. Also the quality of our dairy cattle exhibits was outstanding this year. Our special congratulations to Steve Lovelace who won first place in the Guern sey 4-H Fitting and Showmanship Contest ;to Randy Senn, 1st place winner in the 4-H Jersey Show manship contest and to Henry L. Parr, Jr., 1st place winner in the Best Fitted Jersey Contest. Now our 4-H Calf Club members are looking forward to State Fair next week. We know they will do well in state-wide competition there, too. STORE SWEET POTATOES The days are still hot, but the first rain will likely bring frost soon after. That means you should get your sweet potatoes dug and stored properly before that hap pens. Wonder if any folks still use the old time method of banking po tatoes. We chaps used to look for- ward to opening the potato bank about mid winter. They were good then even when eaten raw, we thought. And those juicy baked sweet potatoes along with a glass of cold milk really hit the spot with a kid’s appetite. Now to the importance of prop er storage of sweet potatoes. Dept, of Agriculture research shows that potatoes properly stored and cur ed had a total loss of only 15 per cent while those improperly cured lost 30 percent. Hugh Bowers, our Clemson Truck Crop Specialist, says for best curing and storage results, potatoes should be put in the stor age house the same day of dig ging. They should not be left out overnight. Temperature is important when yams or sweet potatoes are put in to storage. Curing takes place rap idly at a temperature of about 85 degrees Fahrenheit, is very slow at 70 degrees and practically stops at 60 degrees. That suggests that if the weather is cool, the temp erature of the house should be raised to 85 degrees before the po tatoes are put in. Also remember to watch moisture and increase ventilation if moisture begins to collect on the walls and ceiling. After a curing period of 8 to 10 days the temperature should be lowered to 55 degrees. Prolonged periods of higher temperatures will result in sprouting and shriv eling, and increases internal de cay. Once the potatoes are stacked in the house, they should not be disturbed until ready to be remov ed for marketing. WINTER CARE OF ORNAMENTALS Watering: Providing adequate moisture for shrubbery and lawn grasses is a concern of homeown ers during summer months and especially during the fall dry per iods. As cold weather approaches and during the winter, little at tention is given to watering the lawn and shrubbery. During the winter plants continue to give off water through their leaves and and bark. This is especially true of broadleaf evergreens. Trees and shrubs which lose their leaves do not give off as much moisture but EVEN NEWER BEHIND THE WHEEL!

Plants need water during the winter; so take care to insure that the soil moisture is maintain ed around plants. Foundation plantings and outlying plantings should always be moist in advance of freezing weather. This allows the plants to absorb water in the tissues before the soil becomes ex tremely cold or frozen at which time roots absorb minimum amounts although the foliage con tinues to give off moisture. This is especially true if the weather warms up during the day and the soil remains extremely cold. Modern houses often have wide overhanging eaves which prevent rain from soaking plantings be neath. Weekly inspection of shrub bery in such areas and planters should be made to insure that ade quate moisture is present. Pruning: The object of pruning is to shape our plants to conform to the particular use we desire of them. Most often pruning causes shrubbery to become branched and compact. This is as it should be, for left alone plants often become tall and of loose form; however, in some instances this is desirable. By removing the terminal portion of a stem, new lateral buds at the axis of leaf and stems are forced into growth. These' buds emerge and grow into new stems. As a general rule, the more sev erely a stem is pruned the great er the number of lateral buds will be forced into growth. Early fall pruning is not advis able due to the stimulation of lat eral growth which fails to mature and is subject to injury from cold weather. Unsightly long shoots may be cut away to conform the plant to its desired shape. This should not be done until cold weather is ’well underway. Pruning of plants which bloom in the early spring will decrease the number of blooms if attempt ed in fall or winter. These types of plants should be pruned after blooming. Any heavy pruning of hedges or overgrown shrubbery should be accomplished approximately a month to 6 weeks before growth commences in the spring. Tampering With Letterboxes Is Federal Violation Recent experiences have point ed out a need to remind the pub lic that the placing of extraneous materials in street letter boxes is against federal law. Postmaster Harry E. Moose stated today. Tampering with letter boxes, damaging mail matter and dam aging government property are offenses which must be reported to the postal inspection service and upon conviction, carry sen tences or fines and/or imprison ment, the postmaster added. Street letterboxes are placed at various locations throughout the city for the convenience of the public in mailing letters and other mailable matter, Postmaster Moose said. A series of letter boxes marked with white stars around the city are given collec tion service after 5 p.m. daily, Mr. Moose reported, and delivery within the state is afforded by the next morning. “This is speedy service, and should not be imped ed by pranksters who place leaves, rocks, twigs and even set off firecrackers in letterboxes,” the Postmaster said. Mr. Moose concluded by asking citizens to please report to him any incidents noticed where per sons are tampering with street letterboxes or placing therein any matter not intended to be right fully entered into the mails. “Only by receiving timely reports of all violations can the post office offer the protection required of all mail.” RITZ Theatre THURSDAY Charlton Heston, Elsa Martinelli, Harry Guardino, The Pigeon That Took Rome FRIDAY and SATURDAY Kerwin Matthews, Judi Meredith, Torin Thatcher, Jack The Giant Killer Children 25c—Adults 60c.
