^ the Newberry fair, the boys show-
9 ed at Greenville, Spartanburg, and
Fairview shows. A total of $392 in
prize money was won. The calves
were blanketed with fresh new
blankets made possible by donation
of the Palmetto Bank of aurens for
the 4-H calf club project. The boys
showing their animals learned val
uably knowledge of haidling and
showing of livestock at fairs.
Good Season For Pastures
<( yhe season is ideal for complet
ing the seeding of winter grazing
acreage before freezing weather
cornea. . Fescue and lachno clover
for permanent winter pasture, and
small grain, rye grass and Crimson
clover for temporary winter graz
ing. Some farmers are seeding or
chard grass for the first time this
year. Farmers should use not less
than 800 to 1000 pounds of com
plete fertilizer per acre on their
newly seeded winter grazing and
not Jess than 400 to 600 pounds on
their old sod if the sod has not re-
; cieved an application in late sum
mer or early fall. Profitable gjaz-
4t ing cannot be starved out of poorly
fertilized pastures no more than
profit can be had in poorly fed
livestock. No profit in starvation.
Farm Tenancy Is Low For Staia
Dr., M. C. Rochester, leader,
Clemson College Extension Agri
cultural Economics Work, states
that farm tenancy for South Caro
lina has reached its lowest point
since 1880 as shown by the 1950
Census of Agriculture.
The trend away from ^arm ten
ancy toward farm ownership in
dicates a healthy growth in South
Carolina. It provides greater sta
bility and security of the farm peo
ple and greater protection for thfe
soil and other natural resources.
Lie# On Birds Reduces Profit
Owners of poultry flocks are of
ten surprised to find lice on their
birds. While lice do not eat eggs!
they prevent egg production. Lin-|
dane dusted at the rate of three
pounds of one per cent indane to 1
1000 square feet, or used as a spray !
has given very satsifactory results
in the control of mites.
Culling of birds should be done
at this time. In the case of small
flocks, owner may take out the
loafers for the table. Late mouters
(are unprofitable as high priced as
eggs are during the fall and winter.
Warfaring For Rais
The coming of cool weather, rats
will be coming into biuldings for
food and shelter. It is not too
hard to get rats to eat the bait,
nor will rats shy off from eating it.
Wafarin does not kill rats at
once. It may take from five to 14
days after the rat has eaten War
farin to die. The material reduces
the normal clotting ability of the
blood and causes the rodents to die
by internal bleeding.

Langston Kaopa On Tha Job
Rufus Langston, technician for
the Laurens Cooperative Breeding
Association, bred 79 cows artificial
ly for first services during Octo
ber. This being the highest num
ber bred yet in a single month. He
has semen from the Clemson bulls
of the Jersey, Guernsey, Holstein
and Brown Swiss dairy breeds and
also one beef breed, Hereford.
Farmers are waking up to the
fact that good bulls being used in
the artificial breeding program are
not to be had in the county for use
by the average farmer.
Brown Chairman of Comxnittaa
D. Eugene Brown, Laurens, Rt.
2, is chairman of the Brown Swiss
sire selection committee represent
ing South Carolina Federated Co
operative Breeding Associatipn. He
went with Jim Shirley, chairman
of Holstein sire committee, and J.
P. LaMaster, head, Dairy Depart
ment, Clemson, to New Jersey and
Maryland last June for the purpose
of cooperating in selecting a new
Brown Swiss sire for the Clemson
bull stud. Lee’s Hill Country Gen
tleman, a new calf born December
14, 1950, was purchased. He was
delivered to Clemson on the 5th of
July, 1951. A few days ago Mr.
LaMaster had a letter from Vernon
Hill, manager of Lee’s Hill farm,
Morristown, N. J., indicating Coun
try Gentleman's sister, Gypsy Jane
of Lee’s Hill farm, had just fin
ished a world’s record for the
Brown Swiss breed for all ages and
classes with 3Q.673 pounds of milk,
1358.18 pounds of butterfat, test
ing 4.43 per cent butterfat. The
dam of Lee’s Hill Country Gentle
man is an excellent 900-pound but
terfat record daughter of Jane of
Vernon. Constellation and Lucky
Strike are two other Swiss bulls
in the Clemson stud out of excel
lent 900-pound daughters of Jane
of Vernon.
Meanwhile, three and perhaps five
officials of the E. I. duPont de Ne
mours company are slated to tell the
committee the labor story behind the
building of such a project at top
speed.
Subpoenaed to testify are Robert
K. Mason, manager of the Savainngh
river project for duPont; J. W.
Mercke, service supervisor, and H.
K. Johnston, personnel supervisor.
In addition, Granville F. Read,
chief engineer for duPont, and F. H.
Mackie, manager of the construction
division, have indicated they might
like to appear before the committee.
DuPont is under contract to build
the plant for the Atomic Energy
commission on a cost plus a one dol
lar fee basis.
At the opening session of the hear
ing, Curtis A. Nelson, manager of the
4- j
project for AEC, told the committee
that the job just couldn’t be don*
on time “without resort to unions as
a primary source of labor supply.”
Nelson said that 80 per cent of the
skilled construction workers in the
nation belong to American Feder
ation of Labor craft trades and that
their assistance in recruiting work
ers was essential.
The AEC official noted, too, that
the local labor supply was just about
exhausted, and to man the job, work
ers would have to be drawn from
industrial areas all over the nation.
In his testimony Nelson disclosed
for the first time that the project by
mid-1952 may employ as many as
40,000 to 45,000 workers.
Previously the highest estimate for
the project, for which congress al
ready has appropriated $1,181,000,-
000, has been 36,000 workers.
Nelson said that the project cur
rently'is working about 17,800 people
and that he had no idea how many
were union or non-union.
At the outset Committee Chainnaa
Barden said one of the objective* of
the hearing was to make certain that
“all men, whether they may or may
not have a union card, shall have the
traditional right to work.” o
Sarden added-that the committee
wanted to make sure, too, that the
“father of some fine boy in Korea*
might not be turned away for lack,
of a union card.
The investigation by the commit
tee was spurred, shortly before the
congressional recess, by a speech by
Rep. Don Wheeler (D-Ga.)
Wheeler said he donner overall*
for one day and went job hunting on
the project to be told that he must
have a ^nion card. He declared he
also found examples of “waste and
inefficiency.”
SMEILY MESS!

Augusta, Ga., Nov. 6. — A con
gressman estimated yesterday that
the ultimate cost of the sprawling
H-bomb plant near here might run
as high as two billion dollars.
The estimate came from Rep. Gra

of a House labor subcommittee delv
ing into employment practices on the

Emotional Problems
a
I7EW OF US are so well trained, so well developed that we
never suffer from emotional problems. However, most of
us have the capacity to solve those problems through force of
character,” says Dr. Harry J. Johnson, in his book Invitation to.
Health. Then he goes on'to say:
“To be mentally well, one must accept and adhere to a stand
ard of right conduct. Departure from an ethical principle does
not insure a mental breakdown; nevertheless, to the extent that
one departs from a right standard, to that extent he injures his
mental health.
“If you consider the counsel of the ten com
mandments, it is easy to believe that anyone who
accepts and lives up to them is a person in good
mental health.
“Religion provides to a majority of the pop-,
ulation a standard of conduct which, when ac
cepted and lived up to, is conducive to keeping
one in mental health. The fact that some mentally
ill persons express their warped state in religious
'ancies of hysteria should in no way reflect

“A psychiatrist is, first of all, a physician wno nas been tramcv.
in the fundamentals of medical diagnosis and healing. He then
studies to become a specialist in diseases of the mind. He is like
medical specialists in other fields; like an ophthalmologist, who is a
physician specializing in diseases of the eye; or like an otologist,
who is a physician specializing in diseases of the ear. The point to
remember is that, first of all, the psychiatrist is a physician. A
battle he has been fighting these long years has been to persuade
the public that mental disease exists before the breakdown stage.
Today it is pretty well accepted that a person may be mentally
ill but seldom so ill that he must be institutionalized.”
This book is so full of good advice that I advise you to read
it. You williierive benefit even though you may not be emotion-
aUy disturbed.
