One TV A Car Nitrogen Arrives
One 30-ton car of TV A nitrogen
arrived this week out of a 205-ton
cooperative order placed between
December 17, 1951 and January T,
1952. The nitrogen was delivered
to farmers in the order their ordeis
were received.
Nitrogen ordered through the
pasture sub-committee of the
County Agriculture committee is
to be used only on pastures, sum
mer or winter. The nitrogen is not
to be used on small grains that are
being cut for hay or seed. The
shipment Tof the nitrogen has been
much delayed for best results on
winter pasture, but it is in time for
early spimg, summer and next
fall’s uses on grazing.
Finish Topdra—ing Grain
All small grains should hav£ top
dressing on at the earliest date,
where top dressing has not been
applied. Leading farmers and the
experiment station results show
that at least 10 toO 200 pounds or
more of Nitrate of Soda or its
equivalent should be applied to
grain at once.
Seed Lespedeza
Those farmers V£ho have not
seeded their lespedeza should seed
at once. The land should be scare-
fied before seeding lespedeza seed
to prevent the rain from puddling
the light seed.
Sericea lespedeza may be seeded
any time from March to as late as
June and eirly July.
The early seeding as a rule gives
best results thie -to^ danger ot dry
weather later in the season. Ail
lespedeza as well as pasture grasses
are more palatable for livestock if
the land has been well limed and
fertilized according to recommend
ed practices.
Pasture Tour
Laurens county farmers are in
vited to join the state pasture tour
that will visit Greenwood on March
26. The tour will begin at 9:30 a.
m. It is expected that those ex-
p6cfing to attend to notify the
couny agent’s office as the writer

Greenwood county agent of the ap
proximate number attending from

Cotton Contest for 1952
The five-acre cotton contest is to
be held again this year with simi
lar rules and regulations govern
ing the contest this year as in the
past.
E. E. Weisner, Gray Court, Rt. 2,
and J. Scott George, Laurens Rt. 3,
have signed entry blanks already.
Any farmer wishing to join the cot
ton contest may get entry blanks
at the county agent’s office.
There will be first and second
county prizes; first and second dis
trict prizes and first and second
state prizes. The farmer agrees to
plant on his 5-acre cotton plot cot
ton seed bred to produce one inch
or longer staple, not more than one
year from the breeder.
The regulations further require
at least ten farmers in each county
entering and completing’ their con
test by turning in to the county
agent’s office a simple record on his
cotton to be eligible for any prize
money. _ ,*
Test end Treat Cotton Seed
Fanners are urged to have their
cotton planting seed tested for ger
mination and treated to control
seed-borne diseases which cause
losses from seed decay, damping-
off, anguar leaf-spot, anthracnose
and boll rots before planting sea
son.
A pint of seed mailed to J. Roy
Jones, commisioner of Agriculture,
Columbia, is ’sufficient. The ger
mination test will be made without
any cosj to the farmer other than
the postage to mail in the sample,
and a report will be mailed to the
person sending the seed.
Farmers who delay having cotton
seed samples mailed to Mr. Jones
may not get the test back before
planting time due to the rush of
samples being sent in at one time.
Poor stands due to ]ow germina
tion, diseases and insects can cost
the cotton farmer his profit for the
year. Why take chances?

Washington, March 18. — The
Democratic political picture in
complicated by the announcement
Washington has been somewhat
Georgia that he will be a candi-
by Senator Richard B. Rlssell of
date for the Democratic presiden
tial nomination at the national con
vention next July.
Senator. Russell may .go into the
convention with a majority of the*
votes from the southern states
which, of course, will not provide
a nomination but will make a
whale of a trading bloc of votes in
determining the final nominee.
Senator Russell is the second
southerner to enter the lists, the
first being Senator Estes Kefauver
of Tennessee who has been cam
paigning over the country for sev :
eral weeks and probably will come
up with a block of delegates him
self.
Senator Russell has headed up
the southern coalition in the senate
which, with Republican backing,
has been successful in blocking or
passing whatever legislation it j
| wished, much of it in opposition to j
I President Truman, particularly the
President's civil rights program, j
In the 1948 convention in Phila
delphia, Senator Russell received
: 263 votes for the nomination, but
I following the nomtnatton of Presi-j
dent, Truman refused—to bolt the
j party and follow the Dixiecrat !
j standard which was headed by
Governor J. Strom Thurmond of
' South Carolina. In 1948 Senator
Russell received the vote of the en
tire • delegations from Virginia,
South Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia,
Florida, Alabama, Arkansas, Texas
and Louisiana and some scatering
support from North Carolina and
We?St Virginia.
When asked if he would head a
third party in the south .if Me.
Truman were the nominee of the
Democratic * convention, Senator
l Russell said: “I refer anyone to my
' record for party regularity, but I
| do not put party above country.”
I He said that “so far as I can see”
there will be no need to bolt to a
third pary.”

In the meantime, repeated at-
have been made by- news*

ident Truman on his intentions
with regard to his candidacy in the
convention, and these attempts
have failed to elicit^an answer.
According to the “inside dope”
from political observers here. Pres
ident Truman’s intentions may
hinge largely upon whom he be
lieves the Republicans will nomi
nate. It is known definitely' that
President Truman prefers NOT to
run again and his wife and daugh
ter are dead set against him try
ing for another term.
Senator Russell is chairman '?

attempting to obtain senate ap
proval of universal miliary train
ing and a military pay boost. H°
presided last year over the joint
