Wilson said| today he has “enough confidence in the congress to believe they will; recognize the necessity” of extend-; ing the Defense Production Act as President Truman requested. Mr. Truman asked for a two- year extension with enlarged au thority. The law now expires June 30. Wilson turned thumbs down on a suggested four-month extension cf the act as it stands. He in- j dicated he believed that would on ly ^result in more hearings similar to those that have been underway for several weeks. Wilson, appearing on a television program, said: 1. An Aircraft Production board, similar to one which operated in World War 11, will be set up in the Defense Production administration within a month. 2. A study has been ordered into the advisability of “encouraging” synthetic wool production in this country. < 3. Under present plans, tne unit ed States will have a potential ca pacity of 50,000 airplanes a year by 1953. 4. The bill now before the house levying more than $7,000,000,000 in additional taxes “is a good step in the right direction.” But he said he is afraid there is “an ele ment of ‘soak the rich’ in it and I think it goes too far in that re spect.” Expressing general approval of the manner in which the defense program is rolling along. ' Wilson said he believes “we could give a very good account of ourselves now” in a war with Russia. Meanwhile, senators said early returns from (President Truman’s radio and television appeal to the people to rally round the expiring price-wage controls law have been something less than conclusive. Both Republican and Democratic lawmakers said they had hoped for 276 County Farms Have 3,220 Acres Permanent Pastures Sillyettes by A. B. C. Finance Co.

ODELL Soil Conservation Service Interest in pastures in Laurens county has been greatly increased as a result of the pastures developed by farmers competing in the Piedmont Communities Soil Conservation con test. • * - Competing farmers have establish ed 3,220 acres of permanent pasture i on their 276 farms. There are 368 farmers in 15 com munities who are entered in the con test. Each of these farmers has pre pared. a basic soil and water conser- I ration plan for his farm with the help of technicians of the Soil Con servation service. To have a whole- farm soil and water conservation j plan is required before a farmer can enter the contest. The object is to stress soil conservation for every acre i on each farm. ! f When a farm is scored it is rated by considering the amount applied ' that was planned as a part of this over-all plan for the farm. The contest awards are divided in to sections so as to offer prizes for just about all of the major conserva tion measures required, as tools of conservation, to use each acre ac cording to its capability and treat each acre according to its needs. Business firms and individuals in Laurens, Greenwood, Greenville, and (Spartanburg counties donated prizes with a total value of about $3,000. These donors realize that the loss of topsoil by erosion means impover ished fields. And that impoverished fields means impoverished families. They recognize that with the topsoil goes potential buying power and af- 1 fects. the welfare of everyone. There- | fore they are supporting this contest I with their means to encourage soil ! conservation. Something has been done about soil conservation in the Laurens County Soil Conservation district. As an illustration of what has been done during the contest, major con servation measures applied to the land are listed as follows: 2,473 acres of sericea planted; 428 acres of kud- zu; 3,220 acres of permanent pasture was established; trees were set on 221 an outpouring of mail to show what j the public really thinks, but it has been slow to develop. acres; 62 acres were improved for wildlife by planting bicolor lespedeza and other feed crops for birds; 3,965 acres of cover crops; 4,375 acres were tefraced, and 39 farm p'onds were constructed. It is easy to see from the number of district cooperators planting pas tures and the to^al acreage planted that cooperators in this district are “Turning to Grass.” Grassland farm ing here is being planned and ap- 1 plied as a part of the whole-farm !soil and water conservation plan. ! A tour is being planned for those I who have donated prizes so they can , see some of the contest results on the i ground. On the tour will be .seen top soil nailed down by grass roots with a protective cover of sod on the surf- j ace. The surface appearance has been changed as a result of the protection and soil building afforded by the conservation measures applied. On several farms will be seen whole-farms being conserved since these fanners have applied all of the major conservation measures planned for their farms in a keen competitive spirit. The contest closes June 3(Hh. | -*■ *- First Carload County Peaches Shipped Laurens, June 18.—The first car load of peaches from Laurens coun ty for 1951 was moved Monday. County Farm Agent C. B. Can non said he was informed C. W. Madden, one of the principal grow r - ers in the county, was moving a carload, the first of the season in the county. Some growers have been picking some early varieties for spot sales and one orchardist said trucks had shown up at his orchard to take all of the early peaches he cculd pick. The bulk of the new crop of peaches will be moved in about a month, Mr. Cannon said. It has been estimated that the 1951 season would see possibly 125 or 150 carloads of peaches shipped from this county. The volume will j be smaller than in previous good, years because of reduced acreage. Numerous peach orchards in the; county have been reduced in thej past two years.
