V r 4 * * Pape Eight THE CLINTON CHRONICLE Thursday, October 26, 19S0 Brown Explains Southern Regional Education Program President M. W. Brown was in Co lumbia Tuesday to attend a meet ing explaining the Southern Region al Education program. Dr. Brown is secretary to the S. C. Board of Con trol (of this educational program) and told how the system is working and the benefits accruing from pool ing educational facilities in 14 states The purpose of the organization Dr Brown said, i^ to cooperate in the maximum use of existing education al facilities and the development of an enlarged program of education on a regional basis, instead of each state's being confined to the use of its own educational institutions. South Carolina not only has had a part in the creation and operation of the program, being the first state whose legislature approved the com pact. but is participating in the ad vantages offered through this unique “pooling” of educational resources. The South Carolina members of the Board of Control are Governor J. Strom Thurmond, Dr. Havilah Bab cock. head of the English department of the University of South Carolina, Dr. R. Frank Poole, president of Clemson college, and Dr. Brown, president of Presbyterian college, and secretary of the Board. i ‘Cnee Over' Seedbed Operation Cuts Cost .

Illustrated above is the “once over” method of plowing, pack ing and planting that can save many farmers high production costs. time was needed to get seed into the ground. It m£ans a saving in time, labor and tractor fuel. Two disking and two harrowing opera tions were eliminated. Another ad vantage was that the soil had’ great er water storage capacity, for the tilth was not broken down by ex cessive tillage. Maintaining tiltn is vital in crop production, these agronomists say, because loose, grainy soils give a good contact between the soil and the seed. That makes it easier for roots to reach plant nutrients, air and water.

Reports indicate that, in some sec tions, herds have been decimated and dispersed because of the ef fects of the disease. This has hap pened in few instances in Illinois, but in the southern states the disease apparently has assumed a mgye malignant form and consti tute? 5 more serious problem than eissweref The morbidity, while unpredict able, may be high.

YOUNG’S PHARMACY •The Old Reliable - ’ Phone 19 ’the U. S. department of agricul ture reports a decrease in farm population from 1910 to 1950 of ovef four million. From 1916 to 1930, the number of persons living on farms decreased each year except during the recession years of the early 1920’s and during 1925. In the depression of the early 30’i farm population rose rapidly, total ing 32.0 million in 1933. The prin cipal reason for this increase was a cutting down of migration away from farms. After 1933, the num ber of persons on farms decreased yearly through 1945. During World War II the rate of decrease grew as large numbers of people left farms for the cities or went into the armed forces. By 1945 only 25.2 million persons lived on farms. After the war, farm population increased substantially for two years, but since then, the changes have been slight. Farm population appears to have leveled off about half-way between its prewar size and the wartime low. Electric Watei Pump Saves Many Pump Pains The Rural Electrification adminis tration reports that next to lighting, water pumping is possibly the most valuable farm use of electrieity. On many farms, five cents worth of electricity will pump and deliver 1,000 gallons of water to its place of use. More and more farm families are realizing how much time is spent pumping water and are converting to the use of electricity.
