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. -

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.

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. Fields,

farms of David Pitts, Charles R.
Workman, Clinton, and J. W. Tin
sley, Trinity Ridge community, ap
pear to be high yielding and in
terest is being shown by those ob
serving the wheat as to the pro
duction in bushels per acre. Esti
mates have been, by various ones,
ranging from 35 to 45 bushels or
more per acre.
