And Newberry Coun ty has become the proving ground. When the boll weevil came back in the early 1920’s we had no cash crop other than cotton. Therefore we had to learn to grow cotton in spite of the boll weevil. The coming of the Alfalfa weevil approximately ten years ago caused almost a complete loss of this valuable hay crop in South Carolina. There were oth er hay crops such as Coastal Bermuda that farmers thought would replace alfalfa. Therefore except for a few farms in New berry County, this crop all but vanished from the farm scene. Several Newberry farmers continued growing Alfalfa foll owing the advent of the alfalfa weevil. Among those who would not quit Alfalfa were Jesse Frank Hawkins and Marvin Hamm, Henry Parr, W. W. Parr, William Ballentine, W. D. and Charles Cromer and Clifford Smith. These farmers’ efforts over several years have proven that Alfalfa can be successfully grown in spite of the Alfalfa weevil. A number of different con trols were tried by Newberry farmers. Chemical sprays were not too effective at first. At tempts at flaming or burning of Alfalfa fields during the win ter did not prove practical. Lat er, it was found that newer in secticides applied at the proper time in early spring would give season-long control of the al falfa weevil. That’s the control program now being followed. One or two sprayings in March or April will do the job. New Alfalfa varieties claim some resistance to the insect pest. Henry Parr and W. D. “Bill” Cromer were the first farmers in South Carolina to plant the new “weevil resistant” variety. The first Alfalfa weevil resistant hay ever baled in the Nation was baled on the Henry Parr farm last year. These new varieties are act ually only somewhat tolerant to the Alfalfa weevil. Some spray ing will still be needed for ef fective control. Dr. Leonard Parks of Clem- son Extension Service is opti mistic over Alfalfa again be coming a prominent forage crop in South Carolina. We have the soil, climate and know-how for growing alfalfa throughout the Piedmont and especially in this county according to Dr. Parks. Dairy farmers especially need Alfalfa to reach their goals for top milk production. Our own feeling is that much labor and equipment is needed to make hay of any kind. It costs just as much per ton to mow, rake and bale “broom- straw” as it does alfalfa. We’re firmly convinced that our New berry Dairy farmers would be making a lot more profit today if they were all growing and feeding their cows top-quality Alfalfa hay.
