Pimientos Discussed
As Local Cash Crop
Editors Note: This is the sec
ond in a series of articles con
cerning the possibilities of rais
ing pimento in Chattooga
County as a cash crop.)
Land on which pimentos are
to be grown should be turned
during the winter if possible to
allow plenty of time for the de
cay of any cover that might be
present, according to J. B.
Butler, County Agent. It should
be harrowed deeply from 10 days
to two weeks before planting
time, and bedded out as if you
were getting , ready to plant
corn, he said. The fertilizer
should be applied in the water
furrow at this time or at least
a week before planting and mix
ed with the soil. A small list
should be thrown up in the bot
tom of the furrow just ahead of
the setting of the plants. This
list allows for plenty of soft
soil in which to set the plants.
Soon after the plants have been
set out they should be culti
vated so as to throw a little
soil on them. This serves to
brace the plants and also to
prevent the soil from drying
around the roots. Shallow culti
vation should be continued
often enough to keep down the

September often pays big divi
dends.
“Where plants are set out
during late April and early May
some fruit will be solid red in
color and therefore ready to
pick by the last of July” Mr.
Butler said.
The first is usually light but
increases from week to week as
the season advances. The crop
should be picked over once each
week, preferably on Monday or
Tuesday. The fruit should then
be spread out and allowed to
fully ripen before being sacked,
tagged, and delivered to the re
ceiving station. A person who
can pick 200 pounds of cotton
in a day can pick 1000 to 1500
pounds of pimentos in the same
length of time. One such person
can usually keep 4 or 5 acres of
pimentos picked as it should be
done.
The yields of pimentos ob
tained will vary from 1 to 5 tons
per acre depending on the grow
ing conditions, care, and inter
est given the crop from the time
it is set out until frost kills the
plants.
Insect Pests
There are few or no insect
pests in this section of the state
। that do much damage to either
the plants or the fruits of pi
mentos.
; Anyone interested in raising
• pimentos should contact the
- county agent to obtain con
- tracts and further informaion.

The Catch
A very lazy fellow was finally
prevailed upon to apply for a
job. He seemed to fill all the
requisites the application called
for but the salary offered was
very modest.
“If you take the job,” said the
manager, “ you will receive a
raise in six months.”
“You say I’ll get a raise in
six months,” asked the appli
cant.
“Yes, said the manager, “if
your work is satisfactory, of
course.”
“Oh,” said the applicant,
turning away in disgust. “I
mighht have known there’d be
a catch to it!”

YEAR-ROUND AVAILABILITY OF LAMB
OFFERS WIDE VARIETY OF MENU IDEAS
Although some people consid
er lamb only a spring time dish,
it is available tn most retail
markets, throughout every
month of the year. And families
that include this meat in their
year - round m»nus find that
they can change its appearance
with each of the seasons, simply
by combining the different cuts
of lamb with seasonal fruits and
vegetables, says Reba Staggs,
food authority.
Best known and favorite of
spring dishes, of course, is roast
leg of lamb. Served with pars
leyed new potatoes and garden
peas, it’s a dish fit for a king.
Lamb and mint are practically
synonymaus and you can dress
up the platter with Mint-Me
ringue mounds on pears. All of
the spring vegetables go well
with lamb, especially when toss
ed in a colorful salad.
Tomatoes from the garden
and stuffed peppers go well with
a lamb shoulder foast, as do
glazed young carrots and but
tered lima beans.
Lamb is one of the few dishes
j that are equally good hot or
