Oct. 8—The Agri- j culture department today estimated this year’s cotton crop at 16.931,- 000 bales of 500 pounds gross weight. This is 360,000 bales less than the : 17,291,000 bales forecast a month ago. It is sharply higher than last years small crop of 10,- 012,000 bales, .and compares very favorably with the ten-year (1940- 49) average of 12.030,000 bales. The increase this year was re commended by the government as a means * of replenishing stocks which had dwindled to a low level under the preparedness program. Supplementing the crop are 2.- 200,000 bales from previous crops. The department said the indicat ed yield of cotton to the acre was 234 7 pounds, compared with 269.2 pounds last year and 265.9 for the ten-year average. Condition of the crop as of Oc tober 1 was reported at 74 per cent of normal compared with 64 a year ago and 73 fo rthe ten-year Octo ber 1 average.

Meeting On Tree Seedling* Agriculture teachers, soil conser vation technician, county forest ranger and County Agent met in the Agricultural biulding, Septem ber 13th and discussed the fall tree seedling planting program. Those attending the meeting with Coun ty Agent Cannon were" Roger Blakely, agriculture teacher o f Laurens high school; Albert Wolfe, agriculture teacher, Clinton high School; H. E. Martin. County For est Ranger; J. B. O’Dell, technician of the Laurens County Soil Conser vation District and S. A. Marbut. Asst. Ex'tanjion Forester of Clem- son college. Any landowner may place his order through any of the above named agencies for pine tree seed lings. A person may get as many as 3,000 pin|e, tree seedlings for pay ing express' charges which is 50 cents per '1,000 trees. AH orders above the 3,000 cost $3.00 per 1,000 trees delivered, or if seedlings are picked up at the nursery in per son. they may be had for $2.50 per 1,000. j ..Any person wishing to secure trees should place their orders at once as likely a shortage will exist this year. The seedlings will be de livered by truck in the fall and each person will be notified in time to meet the truck. It requires 1,000 trees per acre and two hands should set one acre per day. Soil building practices through the P. M. A. program may be carried out by planting trees and reforesting lands is a good soil conserving practice. There are thousands of acres of land in Lau rens county that is best suited to trees than any other use. Landowners should pay more at tention to proper w'oodland man agement in controlling fires, se- marking of saw timber. This type of service is available at little cost lective thinning of pulpwood and under certain conditions. There are some people yet w r ho clean cut timber land, causing considerable loss, and have little regard for the future generations. The seeding of winter grazing will be pushed by farmers now with the coming of recent rain. Top dressing of established sods should be applied at once if not done, so to get good growth before cold weather. Examination of fes cue sods the past week showed the long hot drought has thinned out the sod, especially where it was overgrazed. For winter permanent pasture, seed 18 pounds of fescue and not over two pounds of Ladino Clover per acre. Inocculate the cloyer. For temporary grazing, use three bushe’s oats, two bushels barley, 30 pounds of rye grass and 20 pounds of Crimson Clover per acre, or a seeding of 40 pounds of Rye grass and 20 pounds of Crimson Clover is a good rate of seeding per acre. Seeding of grazing should be fertilized at the rate of 400 to 600 pounds of fertilizer per acre and seeded on a well pulverized seed bed. Hay will be shor-t this fall and winter grazing can save the day and reduce man labor in that the livestock will harvest their feed. Let’s cover Laurens county with a .‘ Blanket of Green” this fall to afford feed aryl conserve the soil. _ Leadership School At Whitmire Sunday ' Final plans have been made for the Training Union Central Lead ership School of the Reedy River Associations.
