The object of this feeding test is to see the rate of gain and the efficiency of gain in flesh by the animals from various breeders over the state. On Friday, March 7, at 1:30 p.] m., most of these purebred bulls on feeding test will be sold to high-: est bidder, held at Clemson col-! lege. Farmers interested in these bulls for breeding purposes should attend the show and sale. Last Call for Seed Sweet Potatoes Seven farmers have placed a co operative order for seed sweet po tatoes with the county agent. Any other farmer wishing to obtain seed sweet potaoes from Edisto Experi ment Station should notify the county agent’s office, or one of the agriculture teachers at once. Top Dress Small Grain Small grain should be top dress-' ; ed with nitrogen between now and t March 15th using froln 100 pounds to 200 pounds of Nitrate of Soda or its equivalent per acre. The higher the analysis of the nitrogen, as a rule, the lower cost per unit of plant food is. Am monium Nitrate analyses 33 per cent nitrogen; Cal-Nitro 20.5 per’ cent and Nitrate oi Soda 16 per cent nitrogen. S««d Lacpadaza—For Hay or Soil Building Top seeding of small grain with lespedeza should be done around March 10th to 15th. Lespedeza 1 seed is scarce and high in price. Early seeding might cause lespe deza to come up and be killed 1>yi “rost or freezes. Not less' than 25 : to 30 pounds of clean seed seeded per acre is recommended. Control Fires Farmers are now clearing terrace and hedge rows, getting ready for spring plowing. Many fires will be set with good intentions, but allowed to get out of control and do considerable damage to timber growth, buildings, and maybe death to some person. Farmers should use all care possible to pre vent fire damage. 1 i^ Dr. Fred E. Holcombe OPTOMETRIST Offices at 200 South Broad St. Phone 658 !
