County Soil Conservationist
Fifteen Laurens county farmers
received 40,000 kudzu crowns this
week. The, crowns were delivered
to the landowners by Soil Conserva
tion Service technicians who helped
the farmers select the land for kud
zu.
'In accordance with the purpose of
the soil conservation district, the
farmers and 6C technicians had
! planned the farms for a complete soil
! and water conservation program.
Therefore, the kudzu will be planted
Ion poor, eroded land so as to put
each acre to its best use as well as
to a profitable use.
A large precentage of the crowns
will be planted on farms that are en
tered in the Piedjnont Communities
Soil Conservation Contest. Each
acre planted to kudzu has a value of
eight points in scoring for the con
test.
R. B. Roper, of Laurens, whose
i farm is in the Sandy Springs section,
is planting the largest acreage to
kudzu from this delivery of plants.
He is planting 20 acres of land no
1 longer suited to cultivation or ordi
nary pasture grasses. Mr. Roper
knows what kudzu can do to control
erosion and increase the fertility of
the soil and its value as a feed crop,
has used for several years. Mr. Roper
has used for several ears. Mr. Roper
says, “Kudzu fills a much needed
place in my pasture program because
of the heavy grazing it supplies dur
ing long dry spells in the summer
and fall when other kinds of pasture
give out or slow down.”
There have been over 2,000 acres
of kudzu planted in the county since
! the district was organized ten years
i ago. Examples of how this crop is
helping to fill grazing needs on land
; that was once poor and eroded can
i be found in almost every community.
A second delivery of crowns will be
made later. Farmers desiring infor
mation concerning kudzu should con
tact the Soil Conservation District of
fice, or the County Aigent.

South Carolina
Columbia, March 3.—Employment
insured under the South Carolina
unemployment compensation law es
tablished a record high in September
1950, with a total of 320,900 workers
reported by employees covered by
the act.
The South Carolina employment
Security Commission, composed of
Chairman T. Belk Ingram, Vice-
Chairman A. J. Hatfield, and Com
missioner B. M. Gibson, today re
leased the above information, to
gether with comparative figures on
wages reported in 1950 and 1949.
In the third quarter of 1950, wages
reported by employees covered by
the law, totaled $184.5 million, up
$25.1 million from the third quarter
of 1949. For the first nine months
of 1950, wages reported under the

10.8 per cent over the $484.3 mil

of 1949.
lems of health to Dr. Hart. Fnd out
Average employment for the third
quarter 1950 was 234,000, an increase
of 7.1 per cent from the third quar
ter 1949-level of 302,000.
Total quarterly wages reported to
the commission rose steadily in 1950.
The first quarter of the year figure
was $171.2 million; the second quar
ter $180.7 million; the third quarter
1950 report of $184.5 million tops
all previous quarters in the commis
sion's history. The highest previous
level was the fourth quarter of 1948
when $182.1 million were recorded.
It is anticipated that the fourth quar
ter 1950 figure may be close to $198
million.
Ten years previously total wages
covered by the South Carolina un
employment compensation law were
$187.0 million for the entire year of
1940. A monthly average of 220,700
employees was insured by the law
at that time. Based on the first
three quarters, wages reported for
1950 may exceed $730 million with
a monthly average of 318,000. em

'HOME
Saute some mushroom caps and
place them on unlbuttered toast. Over
the mushrooms, place poached eggs,
two to each serving; surround with
green, cooked mushroom tips, and
pour over all a rich cream sauce.
Broccoli, cooked until tender, then
drained and seasoned with salt, pep
per and nutmeg, makes an excellent
base for sliced, creamed chicken.
For a lovely and delicious salad,
pick tender lettuce hearts and use
as a bed for artichoke hearts and
peeled orange segments. Serve with
a lemon-y French dressing, Swiss
cheese and crackers.
Use fritter batter (for dripping
slices of tomato, then fry them golden
brown. Serve with crisp bacon or
grilled ham.
One of the easiest and nicest of
desserts uses apricots poached in
their syrup. Cool and fill with van
illa ice cream. Dust with macaroon
crumbs and top with pistachio nuts.
Ever tried to stretch strawberries
or raspberries for the shortcake? Do
it with sliced bananas. Serve with
whipped cream.
