PAGE FOUR THE NEWBERRY SUN, NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA THURSDAY, JULY I, 1965 FARM NOTfS i 1 *' i iiiiiiiiii AGRIBUSINESS GROUP VISITS NEWBERRY By A1 Busby, County Agent Other years it has been places like Texas, Mississippi, Califor nia, Europe, Wisconsin or Michi gan and Canada. To these distant areas have our South Carolina leders in Agriculture, Business and Industry traveled to look at new or important Agriculture and related Industry Developments. Last week, such a group made a trip not to any such far-off places, but right here in upper South Carolina. Sponsored by the South Carolina Banker’s Associa tion and Clemson University, this trip Wi»s a real eye-opener about some important things we have right here at home. It was our privilege to make the trip. Here’s a brief account of what we saw: Poultry and Peaches At Elgin, South Carolina, near Columbia, we visited the Monroe Poultry farm where 60,000 laying hens really pay their own way. This family business includes the raising of all pullets needed for replacement in the laying houses, the grinding and mixing of all feed used in the farm and com plete processing of eggs to go di rectly to stores or to the consum er. This family operation started small but has now reached the size to be called big business. In Chesterfield county we saw something of the fast-growing turkey industry. Thi^ area is one of the most rapidly expanding turkey areas in the nation. At McBee and later at Sunny Slope Farms near Gaffney, we saw and learned something of the great Peach business in our own State. In these two areas, the “Queen” of fruits from hundreds of acres of trees finds its way through ultra-modern processing facilities, to be graded, packed, cooled and shipped to market. This year’s peach crop is reported to be a good one! Judging from the samples we ate, we have to whole-heartedly agree. One thought kept bugging us, how ever, as we learned of the dy namic impact of this great crop. Why don’t we have any commer cial peach orchard in Newberry county ? An Industrial Giant On the banks of the Catawba river near Rock Hill we saw one of the giants of Industry of this State. The huge paper plant of Bowaters where raw wood from our Carolina forests is converted into thousands upon thousands of tons of paper, one of the most indispensible products of our mod ern society. This one industry, we were told, has an annual payroll of six million dollars and buys 11 million dollars of wood from North and South Carolina landowners COME AND SEE OUR SPECIALS THESE PRICES EFFECTIVE THROUGH JULY 10TH 39-In.

Palmetto Grape Juice Plant which represents the Cooperative efforts of 250 South Carolina farmers to establish a new cash crop and pro cess it for a ready market. The farmers own the plant. Grape juice produced here is sold thru- out the nine Southeastern states. The plant now also processes ap ple juice for a baby food plant in Asheville, N. C. Already we have several farmers doing an out standing job of growing grapes in Newberry county. There is need for more and a ready market is waiting. On to the mountains which is apple country. Here too, in Ocon ee county, apple farmers have joined together in cooperative ef fort to provide modern processing facilities for marketing their pro duct. In addition to hundreds of acres of standard varieties of ap ples we saw 20 acres of dwarf apple trees which are grown on wire or trellis much the same as grapes. We learned that dwarf apple trees don’t grow small ap ples. The fruit is just as large as the standard variety, but the dwarf trees begin bearing three years sooner. The apple industry seems to be growing by leaps and bounds in Oconee County and pours more dollars into that county’s economy. OUR OWN CLEMSON While in the upper corner of the State we visited Simpson Ex periment Station at Clemson uni versity. Here we learned of the work being conducted on crops, livestock, and Horticulture that will enable us to continue the pro gress that has been made and will keep Agriculture pushing for new heights in the future. Other Points Of Interest At Greenville, we visited the Winn-Dixie Dairy Processing plant which bottles 20,000 gallons of milk weekly, most of which comes from Newberry county. In addition, this modern plant makes thousands of gallons of delicious ice cream daily. Also, in Greenwood county we visited the Adams plant of the Greenwood Mills,, one of the most modern cotton textile operations in the State. Newberry Point of Interest The group of 56 bankers, farm ers and agricultural leaders were most impressed with their short swing through our own county of Newberry. At the bustling Dairy and live stock farm of Mr. and Mrs. Clif ford Smith, we learned of the huge investment required in op erating a modern farm such as this. The production efficiency of this farm is a great success story in itself—over 200 registered Jer seys producing at the rate of over 10,000 pounds of milk per cow; 75 cow Angus brood herd with a better than 70 per cent average calf crop per year a good-sized sow herd producing top quality pigs all of which are fed to mar ket weight. This production effi ciency with the feed production story of this 1200-acre farm and the modern dairy facilities was a delight to all the group. The Waldrop-Senn Bros. Egg Plant and Feed Mill was also one of the highlights of the tour. The continually expanding Egg Plant is the largest and perhaps the most modern in the State. The payroll of its 60 employees and the nearly two million dollars paid to farmers for eggs each year are of vital economic importance to Newbery county. Their feed mill also is one of the largest and most modern in the State. We were in terested in seeing the facilities for unloading and handling of rail- shipped grain at this plant. It was good to see these suc cessful operations in both Agri culture and Industry here in our own State. We have the potential for continued progress and de velopment. Let’s use it!'

Insect control set for county During the next three months, a spraying program will be carried on in the towns of Prosperity, Po maria, Whitmire, Little Mountain and the City of Newberry. This spraying program has proven ef fective in the elimination of flies, mosquitos and other insects. Spraying alone, however, cannot accomplish a 100 per cent goal. It is up to the individuals to help obtain such a goal. Sanitation be gin in the home, so the full coop eration of each individual is re quested in carrying out this pro gram. You, as an individual, can help by: 1. , See that you have a sanitary garbage can with tight fitting cover, one that is ample for your needs, but not exceeding a 30 gal lon capacity. 2. Eliminate stagnant water which will cause mopt breeding places for insects, flies and mos quitoes. Get rid of old tires, bot tles, cans, etc. 3. Clean up debris which cau ses fly breeding places such as cow yards, dog pens, chicken yards and rabbit pens. 4. Have all vacant lots cut since they harbor mosquitoes. Have adequate drainage for such lots. 5. Cockroaches are certainly RITZ Theatre THURSDAY, FRIDAY AND SATURDAY Frankie Avalon, Dwayne Hickman DeBorah Walley SKI PARTY MONDAY and TUESDAY Tony Randall, Shirley Jones, Ed ward Andrews, Jim Bacus FLUFFY Drive-In unwanted and uninvited guests in any home. They destroy food and damage fabrics, book bindings, and other materials. They spread filth and carry diseases when they run over food. Some of the dis eases which cockroaches carry are food poisoning and diarrhea. There are about 55 different kinds of roaches in the U. S. and nearly all of them live out doors. Some of these may enter homes, but there are only four kinds of roaches which are commonly to be found in buildings. These four are the American cockroach, the German cockroach, sometimes called Cotton Bug, the Oriental cockroach and the brown banded cockroach. Sanitation and good housekeep ing will prevent a build-up of roaches around the home. You should take away their food sup ply by keeping garbage cans tightly covered and storing food in tight containers. Wash the sup per dishes. Leaving dirty dishes overnight provides the roach with plenty of food. Clean up pantries, storage rooms, and closets. Un tidy dark places provide an excel lent home for the cockroach. Insecticides applied correctly under kitchen cabinets, along base boards, and other areas that cock roaches frequent will complete the job of ridding your home of Mr. Roach.
