The land is so hard preparation has not been pos sible and, too, lack pf moisture inj germination of seed in case seed are sown. It is suggested that as soil condi tion is suitable for land prepara tion, seeding of temporary grazing be rushed, using two bushels bar ley, three bushels oats, 30 pounds of rye grass and 20 pounds Crim son clover, or if grain is not used, use 40 pounds of rye grass and 20 pounds of Crimson clover per ac re. - Liberal amounts of fertilizer is a must forytjtuck and profitable supply of grazing. Early applica tion of nitrogen as top dressing is in order, to hasten the recovery’ of the lateness of growth in tem porary and permanent winter grazing. Livestock Sound Security Rex Lanford, secretary of the Clinton Production Credit associa tion, states that 50 per cent of the 1952 loans of the association were made to livestock and poultry pro 1 ducers, and that the association’s collections this year were 30 per cent more than any previous year during the month of September, and that the collections during Oc-{ tober were very favorable. • Mr. Lanford stated that the loans for 1952 were the heaviest in the^ history of the association. From January 1 to October 31 a total of $540,000 was loaned. Thjs Hind of handling financial farm business indicates the confi dence the association has in farm ers’ loans and the confidence the farmers have in their association. This kind of confidence makes available helpful and needed loans to be repeated in the future. The association is now owned and ope- ated by farmers and those inter ested in agriculture.

MIDWAY DRIVE-IN THEATRE Thursday Nov. 20 AARON SLICK FROM FUNKIN’ CRICK Allan Jones, Dinah Shore (Technicolor) TWO CARTOONS Sweepstakes $100.00 more machinery dependent and he states that it is mucK more -) satisfactory. irrigation is needed only when there is insufficient rainfall, but to irrigate a person must have a sufficient supply of water. It re-: quires 28,000 gallons of water to have an inch of water on an acre of land—a lot of water. There are I ! very few so-called farm ponds built in Laurens county having j sufficient water supply for irriga- i tion on any worthwhile acreage, justifiable in buying an irrigation 1 ! outfit. Mr. Harris has a sufficient sup- ! ply of water and irrigates by the j gravity method by laying off fur rows on contour with a little fall, i causing the water to, move slowly along the furrows. He has a pump, operated by a gas motor that wfllj deliver approximately 90,000 gal lons of water per hour* In discussing with Mr. Harris what he thought of irrigation on j ! his farm, the writer wishes to: j quote' him in his answer: "I used my irrigation system one time this year during the dry spell, as I had sufficient ram. to afford me ample grazing for my dairy herd. If ■sufficient rains had not fallen, my! irrigation .system would ha\e con-, tinued in operation.’’ “Last summer, 1951, I used it four times and it was a life saver! for gazing. I look upon my irri-j gation as a gurantee for sufficient j grazing to maintain my ihilk pro duction in critical seasons ofi drouth. j N “I irrigated approximately 35 ac res of bottom corn and by so do ing I can well afford to fertilize this corn highly. I have produced over 100 bushels per acre for the 1 past twd years on acount of irri- i gation. Last year where I made 107 bushels of corn per acre, I am satisfied I would not have had any corn worth harvesting had it not been for my irrigation. I might state on corn which I did not irri gate, it was so poor in production! i of ears of corn that I dug a trench silo and converted it into silage.” Well folks, that is what a success- i ful dairyman states of his problem of feed production on his farm. , Mr. Harris has a commercial dairy herd of 210 mature cows arid 90 head under two years old. On Mr. Harris' 2700 acre farm, he is now’ planting only 250 acres of cotton and has converted some of ! his most productive cropland to grass farming. He uses approxi- j mately 455 acres, of which 40 ac- , res is in Sericea, to permanent and annual gazing. His pastures I are limed and liberally fertilized according to recommended practic es. Mr. Harris w’as enrolled in the South Caolina Green Pasture con test this year and the pasture committee of the Laurens County Agriculture committee scored his pasture a Jew days ago and for warded their report to Clemson to be judged with other contestants over the state.
