any person in Laurens county owning
a dairy type cow. Few farmers of the
county can afford to own such bulls
as used by the college experiment
station. Services of the Brown Swiss,
Guernsey, Holstein and Jersey breeds
are the ones used b ythe association.
Roughages Scarce For Cattle
A shortage of rain fall during the
fall together with severe cold spell
during late November and early De
cember has made the supply of win
ter grazing a serious problem to
livestock producers, especially dairy
men. With the short hay crop and
limited amount of silage, feeding
problem wiM be further complicated.
To meet this situation at least par
tially, C. G. Cushman, leader, Dairy
Extension work of Clemson college,
makes the following suggestions.
“First feed the dairy cow all the
roughage she can veat. The best is
fast growing, tender grass, top qual
ity silage, and green leafy legume
hay. As these are now very' scarce,
a substitute must be found among
the lower quality roughages such as
corn stover, rough grass hays, cot
tonseed hulls, oat or barley straw.
Take every advantage for grazing
com stalk fields, hay fields, or other
lands where residue grass or grazing
of any kind is available regardless of
its quality. The dairy cow must be
kept up.”
Grinding suen roughages as corn,
straw, or low qualify stemmy hays
may be advisable during this short
age of quality roughage, Mr. Cush
man points out. They should be chop
ped and not ground too fine.
Blackstrap molasses mixed with
water art the rate of one gallon of
molasses to two gallons of water -will
encourage cattle to eat these low-
class roughages. Molasses is also an
excellent feed in its own right. Itf
these lower class roughages must be
used, grain feeding should be increas
ed. A 16 percent digestible grain ra
tion is advised instead of increasing
the protein contest of the grain ra
tion.
In many areas of the stage, corn in
the shuck is cheaper per ton and a
cheaper source of digestible nutrients
than just fair hay, beet or citrus pulp,
Mr. Cushman says. The cob and
shuck are fair roughage and the com,
cob, and shuck, if ground, are bulky
and can replace a considerable
amount of hay or other roughages.
Four to six pounds per cow per day
of ground corn, in addition to the
regular grain mixture, are advised
in case of severe shortage of quality
roughages.
In substituting low quality rough-
ages for high quality roughages, a
mineral supplement should be fed.
he advises, as low quality roughages
are low in the essential minerals of
calcium and phosphorous. These can
be obtained in free-choice feeding of
steamed bone meal or some other
commercial minral mixture in cov
ered mineral-feeding boxes.
Christmas Trees Can Be Fire Hazards
At this season of the year, people
are looking forward to Christmas
with much joy and happiness, es
pecially the children are looking for
ward to Santa Claus bringing their
presents and leaving them under the
Christmas tree. The burning of the
Christmas tree, home and maybe
some member of the family would be
j a sad remembrance.
The Forest Products Laboratory
has found that about the best thing
1 to aid in preventing Christmas trees
j from catching on fire, is to keep the
t tree standing in water. When the tree
1 is erected in the home, the end of
!th trunk should be diagonally cut off
jat least one inch above the original
cut which would allow the tree to
i absorb water freely throughout the
f tree.
j , This treatment does not replace
special care in using electrical equip
ment on the tree. Defective electrical
connctions can b a serious hazard
iCare should be taken not to put the
i Christmas tree near window eurtatrts
; which are easily to catch on fire in
case the tree ignite. It is not a good
plan to leave Christmas Lights burn
ing on the tree while no one is in the
room.

Texas Baptist Takes
Crack At Education
Nashville, Tenn., Dec. 11—"The
highest thing education has brought
us in the quickest way to commit
suicide," a Texas Baptist leader said
today.
Dr. C. B. Jackson of Dallas, asso
ciate director of evangelism for the
Texas Baptist convention, said, “As
useful and beneficial as education is,
it is no way to lead people to Christ.”
The Texas churchman spoke before
the Baptist Pastors’ conference.
“Men and women are led to Christ
ianity through their emotions—not
through education,” he said.

Nationwide Prayer
Urged For 10 Minutes
Indianapolis, Dec. 10—A ten-min
ute nationwide holiday for prayer in
the present world crisis was urged
yesterday by the executive commit
tee of the Isdiana junior chamber
bf commerce.
The committee asked Indiana mem
bers of congress to present a resobi-
tion to that effect in congress. The
committee noted in a statement that
in the present situation “Godfearing
nations are pitted against atheistic
Russia and her satellites,” and said:
“It is therefore suggested that the
President of the United States de
clare a nationwide legal holiday of
ten minutes on a normal workday
for nationwide prayer, so that a!l
the people of the United Sitates can
simultaneously humble themselves
ibefore God and pray for his aid. It
is suggested that all work cease at
•this time; that all churches throw
open their doors.
“Certainly if a nationwide holiday
can be declared in celebration of our
independence, ten minutes can be
spared for nationwide prayer that
we keep it.”

A CRIDIT TO SOUTH CAROLINA
•* , 1
.here’s been a lot of talk in recent weeks
about “the buying power of the dollar’* —past,
present and future.
We can’t foretell the future — hut we can tell
you this right now:
You’ll look a long way before you’ll find a car
that offers as much for the money as you can get
in a 1950 Buick.
Close to half a million of these cars have been
built and sold this year.
Close to half a million people have checked their
features land prices against the field—and decided
they’d better buy Buick.
As to prices—they start down below some sixes.
And whether you price the Special, the Super
or the Roadmaster, you’ll find, on a cents-per-
____
pound basis, that few other cars can touch them
for value.
v
And this is for sure! When it comes to perform
ance — ride — the way they handle and hold the
road —and thrifty use of fuel and oil —Buicks
have never been finer.
That’s another way of saying that coil springs on
all four wheels—Dynaflow*—torque-tube drive
—and Buick’s high-compression, high-economy
Fireball power produce an out-of-this-world
combination.
So if you want your dollars to do extra duty—
the time to act is now.
Look at the price tags—look at the features —
sample the power and thrill that you get for
your money —and you’ll know what we mean.
