Wilson Believes
Congress Will
Extend Controls
Washington, June 17.-— Defense
Mobilizer Charles E. 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

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.
