Cotton Crop
Estimate Is ,
Down 360,000
Washington. 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.

One car of 40 tons of T.V.A. nit
rogen delivered to farmers last
week for demonstrational use on
pastures and notice recevied that
two other 40-ton cars will arrive
this week. This shipment makes a
total of 510 tons of nitrogen since
January this year for pasture use.
Orders are being taken at the
County Agent’s office for additional

der nitrogen is requested to contact
the County Agent’s office at once.
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. _
