Also buying of pasture grass seeds may earn soil building practice money. In all, pasture de velopment is a good soil conserva tion program at all times. Pasture Contest J. L. Adair, Jr., of Clinton, and Fred Irwin of Rt. 2, Laurens, have joined the summer pasture contest. Joining the winter pasture contest are John F. Montgomery and C. C. Herbert, Laurens. Last Call for Five Acre Cotton Contest June 30 is closing date for join ing the five-acre contest. There are eight farmers in the contest so far. Application blanks may be had at the County Agent’s office. There are first and second coun ty prizes; first and second district prizes; and first and second state prizes. No one knows who will win the prize this year. Farmers having as much as five acres of cotton in a body and a good stand may enter the contest. Two Hundred Ten Ton* of Lime Wallace L. Martin, Gray Court, Rt. 2, a commercial dairyman, is having spread over cropland and pasturelands, 210 tons of limestone the past few. days. Many acres of land in this coun ty needs lime to correct the acidity 6f the soil. Maximum production can not be obtained from soils that are acid, nor does livestock like feeds produced on lands needing lime as well as that produced on lands well supplied with lime. Lime is not a fertilizer, but is a medicine in correcting sick soil— which is acid soil. - Cooperative Rural Telephone The engineers and representa- =*= Pac:e Seven Mutes From The Coiiriy Agent's Office By C. B. CANNON, County Agent Sheep "May Return W. P. Dickson, Clinton, has pur chased 102 head of sheep through the cooperation of the Extension Service. He is no doubt the largest sheep producer in the state now. The sheep came from California through Alabama by truck. Mr. Dickson is interested in developing additional farm income through this type of livestock. He also has a small herd of beef cattle. There are only a few flocks of sheep in the county today. Farmers having sheep are: J. L. Adair, Sr., Clinton; A. J. Hughes, Fountain Inn, and Bergman Morrison, Lau rens, Rt. 3. Several years ago there were 15 or 20 flocks in the county. Hungry I roving dogs killing sheep, and stomach worms are the causes of farmers discontinuing sheep pro duction. There is now on the mar-^ ket material for treating sheep for worms which will help overcome the worm problem, but the dogs are still plentiful. About the only treatment for the dog problem is a good marksman with a gun find plenty of ammunition. With the improved pasture program in effect in this county, sheep production may have a place in the livestock program of the county. There are two sales from the /lock, wool and mutton. Pasture Pays Rufus Langston, Gray Court, Rt. 2, a small farmer who bought his farm through the Farm Home Ad ministration, has one of the best summer pastures found in Lau rens County. Mr. Langston has 25 acres of bottom land pasture sodded to Bermuda grass, White Dutch clover and Ladino clover, Dallis grass and lespedeza, which is fur nishing grazing for 20 head of cat tle and two mules. During the sev en weeks of drought just past, no feed was used for the livestock and the livestock was in good condi tion. Mr. Langston began this summer pasture back in 1941. The CCC boys cleared up five acres of bottom land free with the understanding that Mr. Langston clear the same number of acreage. When Mr. Langston got his ten acres cleared, he saw then the value of a good pasture, so he kept on working on the bottomland until he has 25 acres sodded. He plans to increase this acreage as time and labor per mits. Mr, Langston applied in 1941 p lime at the rate of one and one- half . tons per acre and similar amount every two or three years since, as he noticed that livestock like grass and clover receiving lime and fertilizer. In Majch this year. Mr. Langston applied between 350 to 400 pounds of a 3-12-12 fertil izer per acre broadcast and thinks that this is money well spent as pasture is a cheap source of feed. Adjoining this summer pasture, Mr. Langston seeded last fall 12 acres to Ladino and fescue that is making a wonderful growth and will be used this fall and winter for grazing. ^ There are many acres throughout v Laurens County on our small ■streams that would make just as productive summer pastures as Mr. Langston’s. Summer pastures are most important as grazing must be furnished from such until frost, thereby holding winter grazing un til winter time. So many farmers graze down summer pastures and turn livestock on the so called winter pasture before winter comes, and as results,- the so called winter pastures are ’grazed down before winter comes. As result of this practice, no winter grazing in reserve, when winter comes. Udder the P. M.

Everything is be ing done possible to speed up the project. Early Peach Shipment C. W. Madden, Cold Point Com-j munity, is shipping a car of peaches' this week. Mr. Madden has shipped: several shipments by express be- ; for the car shipment. Also E. J. Poole, Enoree, harvested this week early varieties for the market. The Elberta crop will move the latter part of July. The crop so far is looking good and the rains should cause the peaches to size well. If'' weather permits, practically all the'‘grain crop will be completed! this week. Very litle wheat wasj harvested before this week. The new variety, Atlas, wheat looks to be a high yielding wheat.

Esti mates have been, by various ones, ranging from 35 to 45 bushels or more per acre.
