f ' Summer Hay Crop Badly In Need
' For the past three or four weeks
there has been a considerable amount
of hay brought into Laurens county
NEAR EAST RELIEF
CAMPAIGN
This week envelope with literature
are being distributed to every home
in Clinton. There are several thousand
of these Near East children that are
not yet completely trained and are de
pendent on our generosity for their
training, food, clothing and care to
by the farmers to feed livestock. Since them to take care of themselves
this condition exists I would suggest
that each farmer help in relieving the
situation aS soon as possible. To those
farmers who are in need of hay I
would suggest planting Sudan grass j
„as soon as the ground is dry enough
to plow. Sudan grass, like all other
hay crops, produces the highest yield
on fertile soil. However, it is like sor
ghum, adapted to all soils of the state.
Sudan grass resembles Johnson gn-tss,
but it does not have an underground
stem, therefore it is not a pest and is
killed as soon as frost comes, or like
any other hay when plowed under.
Sudan grass may be cut within 43
to 45 days after planting, and if on
fertile soil it may be cut three times
during the growing season. As to its
quality, it is as good for feeding pur-
'pd^es-as-^ny-xjthfiZl^Tnejrras^ hay. It
is very easy to cure and"*haft41«,TriJli4,
has been known that 50 or more stems
will be produced from one growing
plant. It may'either be sown broad-
ca.st, or in drill, using 20 to 330 pounds
broadcast, or 8 to 10 pounds in the
drill in rows broad enough for shal
low cultivation. The seed is very small
in size and should not be planted over
one inch deep. The seed will cost about
6 1-2 cents per pound, f. o. b. in 100
pound lots.
Due to the high price of cow peas,
and the scarcity, of the pea, a large i
‘ number of farmers will not be in a po-;
sitibn sow cow peas for summer i
hay. I am recommending 90-day velvet i
beans, sown at the rate of one bushel
per acre broa least, with one peck of
sorghum seed, sowing similar to that
of sowing cowpeas. Velvet bean hay
is an excellent hay for feeding live
stock. It is also a legume hay, which
has a greater feeding value than the
grass hay. Of course, there is one ob
jection to the velvet bean hay, and
that is in harvesting. The hay will be
troublesome, due to the long runners
of the bean twining around the cane
and around each other, also there is
a fuzz on the beans that will have an
itching effect on a person’s skin in
harvesting, but in my opinion it is a
wonderful summer hay crop to grow.
The other summer hay crop seed
that I am recommending for hay pur- i
poses is the 0-too-tan or Laredo soy j
bean. This hay equals that of alfalfa;
when properly harvested and cured. I
It is also a legume hay and may fol-,
low oats. A bushel will plant from 5;
to 6 acres and will cost about $7.25 |
per bushel, f. o. b. The seed should ^
be planted in a well pulverized soil in
30 inch rows, 4 to 6 seed in a hill, 8
niches apart’, and cultivated shallow
two or three times in the early grow-'
ing season. This plant grows upright,
similar to cotton.
Bean Bettle Control
For the control of the bean beetle
or any insect eating holes in the bean
leaves, use one pound of arsenate of
lead, mix thoroughly with 6 to 9
pounds of builders or hydrated lime,
and dust or spray the foliage. A num
ber of farmers ask me about this
method of control very frequently, so
I would suggest that you save this in
formation for future use.
Those that think this to be strange
ten years after the war was ovei*
should remember that persecution con
tinued in that region for some time
after the Armistice hnd that many of
the children that came under our care
were scarcely more than infants and
so are still only twelve to fourteen
years old. American Christians have
done a noble piece of benevolence in
fitting many thousands for uuseful
lives and this is the last call to fin
ish up our job. South Carolina’s quo
ta is $72,000 and that means that
Clinton’s quota is several hundred dol
lars.
The envelopes contain literature
that you can read in a few minutes,
that will give you the information you
desire. The Ladies’ club have agreed
to cooperate with me in getting these
funds together. We bespeak your co
operation. If you will have your gift
in the envelope ready to deliver when
you'are^'eall^ bn next Tuesday, May
the Tth',^ you will thus help us.. The
following ladies have been designated
as chairmen in the several wards and
they will select others to help them
so that the whole canvass can be ac
complished in one day, via.: Ward one,
Mrs. Will Leake; Ward two, Mrs. J.
W. Finney; Ward three, Mrs. Thomas
Jacobs; Ward fodr, Mrs. W. G. King;
Ward five, Mrs. P. S. Jeanes; Ward
six, Mrs. Bothwell Graham.
It is to be hoped that every one
will count it a pHvilege to contribute
liberally to this last call for these
little ones, that are looking to us. “In-
as-muc)i as ye have done it unto one
of the least of these ... ye have done
it unto me.” D. J. BRIMM*.

On Thursday night, April 25, the
girls of the home economics classes of
the Cross Hill school, under *he direc

and showed neat, thorough and attrac
tive work done by the pupils. Of the
sport dresses, the judges gave first
place to Miss Marguerite Scurry, anJ
second place to Miss Rebecca Purvis;
while Miss Katherine Wallace was
awarded first place and Miss Maron
Summer second place in the after
noon dress contest. Misses Marguerite
Scurry* and Katherine Wallace repre
sented the Cross Hill school a*: the
state contest in Columbia. Neither pf
the representatives^was eliminated un

the six best of each_ contest. The girls j
have done well during the first >ear|

the school.
Immediately after the local cotton
dress contest, a snappy Negro min- j
strel “skit” was given by the high:
school pupils. j
