It's Molasses Time Bv Ned Comar With the first crisp winds of September here in the I he rokee County plateaus, come the first billowing smoke from the home-made furnaces in every nook and cranny -It's "Lasses" time again. We (C onservation Agent Smith and I) hopped into the car and ran down one of those big Shiokes. Back a couple of miles past the John C. Camp bell Folk School at Brasstown we found a mill in full pro gress at the farm of Mrs. Etta Ashe. Frank Ashe seemed to be supervising the cooking op eration and Clyde Ashe was supervising the squeezing op eration. Verdie Ashe, Frank's wife, was not to be left out, and she had been long at her post with a skimmer. Warner Frankum was busy at the pan also. W'illiai! Thomas was hard at it helping Clyde in the squeezing process. The Ashes' patch of cane "Didn't do too hot this year", so thev expect to make about 400 gallons of molasses off their acre patch. This will rake about seven gallons of juice to get one gallon ot the refined product. Molasses have proved i> be a good money crop in thissei Hon. A gallon of good molasses brings around $3.00 in todavs market. This brings * prett\ good return per acre for the time and capital invested in the crop. But the finishing up ot the crop may -take the whole family well into every night tor three weeks, f-or here is the time barrier thev encounter. At this time of year when the days are fairly warm and the nights cool, vou cut the cane, and stack it. So after it's cut, it must be stacked so that it has ven tilauon. The best molasses are made when tins cane is allowed to lav while some of the moisture ieaves the stalk. This also speeds up the time of cooking out the juice. And the cane must be "lit before frost or the juice will not crush out and the product is worthless. There are other time limitations that make it an on-the-spot crop. Rut when this crop is worked and handled according ' ? "Hoyle", the farmer mav ex pect tc have a stock in trade that he is happv T displav to even 'he most sophisn oated public. There are many sources ?>! power used today to squeeze the luice Iron, 'he cane A mong others are 'he use of * mule and a long pole. The mule is driven "round-and round" 'he mill, and every lime 'he pole Tosses ovet the head, of the man feeding the mill, he MUST remember '<? "duck", lest he *et a knock on the metnorv dome. Then some use the tractor1 powet take off pulley This is probable the neatest rig. and needs no wires trom the house t<- suppK pnwet Hut some old-timers :laitti 'hat this method is so last 'hat It doesn't get -ill 'he lUli'e out of the cant. Everyone benefits from industrial progress. Industrial progress means more people . . . more homes . . more cars more income. Our low-cost power plays a vital role in this area's industrial development. Wfe feel that part of this role is telling others that thi% is a good place to live and work. To fulfill this obligation we belong to associations which aid industrial development We also assist other groups, such as local Chambers of Commerce, in industrial development. In addition, we offer free planning services to industries. We help them use our power usefully and profitably by offering them expert assistance on industrial power use Industrial development is community development We believe that tomorrow's community depends upon today's industrial development. ELECTRIC BOARD MURPHY POWER * - ? . . : a*v. The Ashe's used in elec rru motor to pull the mill. This was a neat and econ omical rig. And it appeared to this writer that they had the mill geared down to the point of getting all the juice The Ashe farm is operated the year round, with a half acre of tobacco, 3 acres of com (enough for their nwr. feed) and they raise small truck patches. When they can't find anything else to do. the Ashe hovs cut and haul pulp wood.
