Farm Federation
Hews and Reviews
By P C. Squares
L
A goodly company of farmers and
business men greeted County Agent
, J. R. Sams and the Federation man
ager at Suluda last Satrday. Iceberg
lettuce was the chief topic discussed
j at the meeting held in the public
hall, and if the interest shown and
acreage subscribed is any criterion,
refrigerator cars of Iceberg ' lettuce
will be loaded at Saluda during the
?spring months of 1924. At the
? ' *
earnest request ot the oitlfeM ? Mr.
SKOM j^d th* manager will visit Sal
uda again Saturday November third.
Interest Is growing in all the Town
ships as the time limits lettuce plant
ing draws near. All have subscribed
a lettuce acreage should make a
great effort to finish planting their
lettuce beds this week.
We expect to have a supply this
week, of unbleached cotton sheeting
(or every lettuce bed planted in Polk
County. ,Pull directions for sewing
the cloth together and flttingjto beds
will be explained to every purchaser.
Remember we expect to grow a crop
of beets and radishes in the lettuce
beds after the lettuce plants have
been transplanted to the fields.
How many of the News readers are
aware of the fact that fully half a
million heads of Iceberg lettuce from
Seattle have been consumed in North
Carolina within the parit three
months! The following is an ad
vertisement, in part,, run I in daily
newspapers of the United States, and
paid for by the banks Af Seattle
Wash., to boost Seattle and xhe Puget
Sound lettuce.
"Ono million dollars in Icebrg head
lettuce will be shipped from gardens
of the Puget Sound county this year.
"One thousand car loads of this
crisp succulent/ vegetables ? equal to
a train load of lettuce almost eight
long ? will carry the fame of this re
gion to many purts of the world."
Asuggestion was made d few days
ago by a citizen of Polk County that
one hundred dollars in prizes be of
fered for the best Iceberg lettuce
grown in the county in 1924. We
refer this respectfully to the banks.
We are glad to note that farmers
in the outlying townships are getting
interested in strawberry growing.
There is no doubt as to the adaptabil
ity of the soil and climate of Polk
County to this crop, and like lettuce
it is an early money getter, coming
at a time when ready cash is appre
ciated.
It has already been demonstrated |
that strawberries are profitable in
this section of the stfite. Only a few
days ago a farmer, when calling at
the Federation to leave his order for j
two thousand plants, reported a profit
ofj two hundred dollars from one
quarter acre of strawberries.
JThere could easily be fifty refrig
erator car loads of strawberries ship
ped from Tryon in a season if the
farmers would Ret together and sub-,j
scribe the necessary acreage co
operatively as they are doing with
Iceberg lettuce. One of the best and !
mo*.- productive varieties for homo j
garden and market is the Missionary, i
We ha vi* arranged with a well known
grower in Sampson county to supply
our farmers with plants at half the
price this variety is offered by some
of the plant growers of the Piedmont
section.
The manager has personally in
spected the growin g plants in Samp
son and know them to be the genu
ine Missionary. . j
We are surprised to find that many
farmers send t? South Carolina for
the so-called frost-proof cabbage ;
plants. Seed planted now of the
Early Jersey Wakefield variety will
make plants as good or better than
those from eastern South Carolina.
Select a southern exposure and plant
the seed a quarter inch deep in good
mellow soil.
We have grown them In northern
Maryland without protection, ex
cept a layer of coarse pine boughs
placed over the plants the lattr part
of December. This covering . is to
protect the' plants from the direct
rays of the sun when frozen. It is
the rapid thawing out of the frost by
the sun that injures the fall sown (
cabbage plant, not frost.
Mrs. W. G. Voories thinks the Glory
Cabbage much superior to the Wake
field, and the manager thinks so
much of Mrs. Voorhies opinion in
matters pertaining to gardening that
he has sent for seed of this variety.
O : ?
Tuesday of this week a day of great
activity on the W. B. McSwain farm.
Five lettuce beds, each bed one
hundred and forty feet long by eight
feet wide prepared and planted by
Mr. McSwain, his sons and neighbors.
Two more beds of the same size were
planted Wednesday.
Mr. McSwain is an optimist of the
true sort, along with his optimism
goes a lot of reason apd good sense.
Lettuce growing is a new thing with
him but he is takin hold of the work
with a vim and determination that !
nothing short of weather calamity
can defeat. . ?
What if your lettuce crop fails,
asked a pessimistic passer by. "Why
in that case," Mr. McSwain replied,
"my land will be in fine condition for
another crop, so why should I worry."
