easily, he said. They can be sup
pressed only with great effort, he
continued.
He urged landowners and others
to be careful with fire in burning
fields, ditch banks or brush piles.
He made three suggestions in
keeping down fires as follows:
“Use the ash tray in your car
when out driving and do not throw
lighted cigarette out of your car
window.
“Make sure your matches and
everything you light with them is
dead before discarding it in or near
any woods or grass.
“Do not leave any fires unat
tended and be sure they are out be
fore leaving your fields or pasture
little trees that would help restock
where you are burning.”
It takes only a little j fire to kill
the many hundreds of acres in Lau
rens county that are not producing
a maximum crop of pulpwoocTbr
timber, he said.

Young and Buford
Like Sericea Strips
By J. B. O'DELL
Soil Consokvaiion Service
John T. Young, who oprates a
large farm near Clinton, has re
cently mowed the old Sericea stems
j from his meadow strips to improve
the quality of Sericea hay. The
Sericea is beginning to put out
new growth and he expects to get
his first cutting of hay around the
first of May or when plants aver
age about 10 to 12 inches in height.
Mr. Young believes in fertilizing
his Sericea to further improve the
quality of hay and to keep it grow
ing vigorously.
A district soil and water conser
vation plan was made on this farm
several years ago and in carrying
out the plan Mr. Young has estab
lished 12 Sericea meadow strips
containing about 30 acres of Seri
cea.
“I like my Sericea meadow out
lets,” Mr. Young said, “for in addi
tion to furnishing hay, seed or
grazing, these meadow strips are
safely disposing of terrace water
from around 400 acres of crop-
| land.” •
j Richard Buford, who farms a few
miles below Mr. Young in the
Hopewell community, has seven
Sericea meadows which serve as
outlets for over 200 acres of ter
raced land. “That’s the best ar
rangement for takinf terrace water
! I’ve seen,” said Mr. Buford as he
| talked of his plans for seeding an-
. other Sericea outlet this spring.
“Another thing I like about my
meadow strips,” Mr. Buford sa'd,
“they fufnish a good place for
turning of farm machinery. This
means a lot when you are planting
and cultivating with tractors.”
These are typical examples of
how scores of local soil conserva
tion district cooperators feel about
their Sericea meadow outlets. In
planning for a complete soil-con
servation program for each farm,- a
number of factors are considered.
Land to remain in row crops is to
be terraced and these meadow out
lets planted in natural drainage
ways to prevent erosion from ter
race water and at the same time
produce valuable farm products.
If the farmer is to get PMA pay
ments for terracing the necessary
outlets must be provided before the
terraces are built.
Soil Conservation Service per
sonnel will gladly help anyone with
his terracing plans or with a com
plete land use program for his par
ticular farm.

“The Paper Everybody Reads”
Now Is the Time
To Plan Pastures
By W. H. FLEMING
Soil Conservation Service
In order to have a#year-round
feed supply on the farm there must
be a reserve when cold weather
comes. This reserve can either be
S the field or in the bam. From
e standpoint of the land and the
cows it is better for this reserve to
come from green grazing crops.
Why should fanners give thought
to this reserve now? Because the
reserve must be accumulated dur
ing the summer. If it is not ac
cumulated the land and cows will
both suffer. Overgrazed pastures
furnish less cover and protection
to the land and are slow to recover
for feed production.
Farmers cooperating wi«h the
Laurens County Soil Conservation
District are now laying tho ground
work for soil and water conserva
tion and a year-round feed supply
by planting kudzu and sericea and
by fertilizing Bermuda, dallas and
fescue, if the fescue has not been
recently fertilized.
J. H. Power of the Barksdale
community has 55 acres in Bermu
da and Sericea pasture. Last year
from 35 to'45 head of cattle were
fed from this acreage from the last
of April until the middle of Octo
ber. : Mr. Power also harvested 400
bales, or about ten tons, of good
hay from the same area. Some of
the Bermuda reached a height of
30 inches during the best part of
the growing season.
Mr. Power says, “You can grow
profitable beef on Bermuda and
Sericea pastures if properly man
aged. These pastures furnish good
grazing over a long period and are
drouth resistant.”
By planning land use according
to the capability of the land and
keeping in mind the need for a
regular supply of feed, farmer; can
provide summer feed from low-
cost crops like- kudzu, -Sericea
Bermuda and save fescue for win
ter feed.
In planning land use fescue
should be planted on good land.
Sericea, Bermuda or Kudzu do a
better job than fescue on eroded
soils of low fertility.
The cost of establishing fescue
is about twice the cost of establish
ing Sericea. In many cases Ber
muda is already established and
only heeds ‘"encouragement by fer-
tilization and management.
The bulk of the summer feed sup
ply should come from the lower
cost crops which have been fitted
into a land use program to make
use of land not suited to fescue. By
putting fescue on land suited to this
crop and then save the Fescue
mainly for winter grazing, good
land use and a grazing system to
provide a regular supply of feed
can result. -
Unless a farmer has more grazing
than he needs, the soil gets less
crop residues than it needs.

United Nations, N. Y., April 20.
—The United Nations figured today
there may be 3,636,000,000 people
in the world by 1980.
The world population two vears
ago was about 2 billion, 400 thous
and, and a new U. N. publication,
Thursday, April 24, 1952
The Population Bulletin, says:
The increase in the next 28 years
will be at least 500 million and may
be as much as 1 billion, 300 million,
taking it away over the 3 1-2 billion
mark.
The rate depends on Asia, which
has more than ‘half the world’s
population, the U. N. says. The
birth rate there is already high
and application of modern medical
knowledge and public health meth
ods may bring down high death
rates.
World population has increased
more than 50 per cent since 1900
and more than five-fold in the last
300 years.
