SUBSCRIBE TO THE CHRONICLB “The Paper Evevrypedj Reads” Apply For Pine Tree Seedlings Attention is called to landowners who wish to plant pine tree seedlings this fall that applications are now being taken. As in the past, any landowner may receive 3000 pine seedlings free by paying 50 cents per 1000 seedlings for express charges. All above 3000 seedlings will cost $3.00 per 1000 seedlings delivered. Tree seedlings are produced and distributed through the State Forest Commission. Agriculture teachers, county Forest Ranger, P.M.A. of fice and Soil Conservation Techni cian will be glad to take applications of tree seedlings. Last year .the sup ply of seedlings were not sufficient to meet the demand. H. E. Martin, Laurens County For est Ranger, reports that for the fis cal year 1950-51 Laurens County had 104 forest fires burning 1490 acres of timber land. The fiscal year of 1951- 52 just ended shows only 24 fires burning 206.5 acres of timber land. A wonderful record of progress in saving our timber. Mr. Martin states that Laurens County had the largest percent in the reduction of forest fires of any county in the state and contributes this success to the public relation work—meetings held in schools and the showing of motion pictures and talks on fire prevention, newspaper cooperation, landowners and various agencies of the county interested in preserving timber. Laurens County Forestry program has a forest ranger, three district wardens and two towermen working in cooperation with those interested in controlling forest fires. Any landowner may have assist ance and advice on selective market ing and cutting of timber. It is a pity to see how a great many landowners are allowing their timber being cut for pulpwood with little regard to se lective cutting in preserving the fu ture growth. ► ► ► ► ► RE-ELECT < < < < < ► ► ► ► > HUGH BEASLEY < < < < < ► ► ► ► The Best Man for < < i 4 ► ► ► ► ► SOLICITOR 4 4 4 4 4 ► ► ► ►' . 4 Out of 5 Convictions 4 4 4 4 4 Fishing Tad SEE Cot four Fishinj Ucme Yet?..

J. W. Tinsley, Lau rens, Rt. 3, has placed order for ten 1 bushels for seeding this fall. The writer saw the wheat growing in An derson County and at Clemson a few weeks ago and was much impressed with the prospects. Grain Sorghum For Corn Grain sorghum is as good as corn, pound for pound, in feed value. Va rieties such as Caprock, Plainsman, Martin and Midland are combine types. High growing types are Heg- ari, Sagrain, Grohoma and Atlas. The land should be well prepared and seed planted in 42 inch rows, soaced eight inches in drill for grain which will require six to eight pounds per acre, and fertilized with 500 pounds of fertilizer per acre. Side dress with 100 to 200 pounds of Nitrate of Soda or its equivalent. The seed should be planted at once for best results. Sweet Sudan Grass For Grazing Sweet sudan grass makes good grazing or hay and may be seeded now. The land should be well pre pared and seeded at the rate of 30 to 40 pounds per acre with a grain drill (set at five pecks of wheat setting). Fertilized at the rate of 400 to 600 pounds of fertilizer per acre and side dressed With 150 to 200 pounds of Ni trate 6f Soda or its equivalent per acre when plants are 12 to 18 inches high. Cut for hay when heads appear. For seed production, cut and shock or combine when seed are ripe. Ammonium Nitrate For Pastures The County Agent’s office has re ceived notice that 60 tons of ammon ium nitrate (T.V.A.) has been allot- ed to Laurens County for July deliv ery. The nitrogen tests 33.5 percent as compared to 33 percent as shipped before, and is to be used only for pasture demonstrations either sum mer or winter. Livestock producers wishing to se cure the nitrogen for pasture uses are requested to contact the County Ag ent’s office and file application on special blanks and deposit check cov ering same, before July 9th. No or der taken without cash or any order taken for less than 1000 pounds. — ... i IH-.I.I.I—i. I, i - Stevenson Not Acceptable To Southern Group Houston, Tex., July 1—Gov. James! F. Byrnes of South Carolina threat ened today to walk out of the Demo-1 cratic National Convention and with the governors of Florida, Georgia and Texas turned thumbs down on Gov. Adlai Stevenson of Illinois as| Democratic presidential nominee. Byrnes threatened to bolt if the I national convention fails to seat the uninstructed, anti - administration delegation from Texas. He brought the delegate dispute into the open during a political discussion at the| National Governors Conference. Gov. Allan Shivers, leader of Tex-1 as’ anti-administration delegation,! was at a private luncheon when he! was told of Byrnes’ statement. “God| bless him,” Shivers said. Byrnes Talks Bolting Shivers, although bitterly hostile! to the national administration, has, shied so far from talking in terms ofj a “bolt.” However, he has consistent ly refused to pledge his vote to the Democratic nominee “until I know who he is and what he stands for.” Byrnes, former secretary of state and Suifreme Court justice, said if Texas’ uninstructed delegation isn’t! seated, similar rebuffs can be expec-l ed by uninstructed delegations from| South Carolina, Mississippi and other Southern states. Besides Shivers, those joining Gov. Byrnes in opposing Stevenson were Govs. Herman Talmadge of Georgia and Fuller Warren of Florida. They objected to Stevensons stand on civil rights legislation.
