SPECIAL FFA STAMP ISSUED I Coker Heed To Speak
The Clinton chapter of Future
Farmers of America is carrying out
special activities in connection with
a postage stamp which has been is
sued in commemoration of F. F.
A.’s 25th anniversary.
The first day of sale for the
stamp was October 13 in Kansas
City, Mo., where some 10,000 Future
Farmers are attending the organiza
tion’s annual national convention.
On the following days, Wednesday,
October 14, the F. F. A. stamp
went on sale at local postoffices
throughout the country.
W. D. Adair, local postmaster,
ordered a good supply of the stamps
at the request of the Clinton F. F.
A. chapter and they are now avail
able at the local postoffice.
The F. F- A. members are con
tacting their friends and urging
them to buy a supply of the com
memoration stamps to use on their
regular correspondence. Local busi
ness firms are being asked to buy
enough F. F. A. stamps to furnish
their needs through the remainder
of the year.
Mr. Adair will be guest speaker
at a special assembly program at
the'high school on Friday morning
when the stamps will be shown to
the student body.
“We feel that the FFA has been
highly honored by the Post Office
Department in issuing this special
stamp,” said Bill Dobbins, -FFA
chapter president, “and we want all
our friends -to help spread the wori
about FFA by buying the stamps
and using them on their letters.”
The* announcement that the FFA
commemorative postage stamp
would be issued was made by Post
master General Arthur A. Summer-
f:eid in Washington last spring. The
design of the stamp shows a mem
ber of FFA on a hill overlooking a
modern farm,, with words calling
attention to “25th Anniversary, Fu
ture Farmers of 'America” in the
lower part of the stamp.
fFA was organized nationally at
Kansas City in 1928. It is an organi
zation for farm boys who are study
ing Vocational Agriculture ih the
public high schools and now has
363,369 members in some 8500 chap
ters. E. B. Few, Vocational Agri
culture teacher at Clinton high
schol, is advisor of the local FFA
chapter.
The Clinton chapter has 26 mem
bers and has been active since 1928.
Officers this year are President,
Bill Dobbins; Vice-President, Bob
Franks, of Joanna; Secretary, Joe
Cunningham, Rt. 1, Clinton; Treas
urer, Jimmy Dutton, Clinton; Re
porter, Sam Leaman, Jr., Cross Hill;

CONSERVATION
NOTES
By J. B. O'DELL. Conservationist
The Thomason Brothers of the
Trinity-Pidge community, have a
good stand of coastal bermuda
grass on a two and one-half acre
nursery plot from which they plan
to harvest stolons for planting ad
ditional acreage.
The Laurens County Soil Conser
vation District supervisors allot- 1
ted 25 bushels of this grass to the
Thomason Brothers for the purpose
of increasing the acreage of l , r this
new improved bermuda grass in,
the county.
In spite of the extreme dry
weather, the grass has made excel-,
lent growth. It is at present 12 to
15 inches in height with some of
the runners as long as four feet
from the original plant.
The grass was cultivated two or
three times during the summer to
keep down weeds and competing
grass. It also received a side ap-
! plication of ammonium nitrate at
the rate of 200 pounds per acre.
A few years ago, who would have
thought the Thomason boys would
be planting, cultivating and ferti
lizing bermuda grass? “There is
nothing so constant as change:”—*”
* * *
C. D. Waldrop of Laurens, had
the district owned terracing ma
chine to build seevral flat v-shaped
drainage ditches on a bottom land
pasture last week. The ditches are
| built so as to enable him to plant
grass right on over them and flat
enough for a mowing machine and
other farm implements to cross.
Tile ditches were laid out by the
SCS technicians.

T. P. and D. E. Brown, father and
son dairymen of Bailey commun- J
ity, are planting 30 acres of‘alfalfa
this week. It is being planted on
the old peach orchard field for
merly owned by W. G. McDaniel,
which was one of the first conruner-
cial orchards in the county.
The Browns are using the dis
trict’s cultipacker seeder for plant
ing the alfalfa and report that th?|
machine is doing a fine job.
The machine is designed so that
the front packer wheels break up
lumps and clods into well gran
ulated mulch. Then the seeder at
tachment accurately measures the
j exact amount of seed to be plant
ed and evenly distributes them be
tween the two sets of rollers. The
rear packer wheels split the ridges
set up by the front wheels and bury
i the seed at the right depth to give
; the best germination.
Other dairymen of this commun
ity who plan to use the machine for
seeding alfalfa are: Ralph W. Wal-
1 drop, Brown Brothers Dairy and R.
M. League.

1 Lester Norton, manager of the |
Creekland Farm of near Clinton,
is over-seeding approximately 75 j
acres of sericea with rye grass and
crimson clover. This is being done
on part of a 150 acre field of se-j
ricea, which to our knowledge, is,
the largest acreage of sericea ini
the county in one body.
Mr. Norton is typical of many the
way his sericea came through thei
severe drought and with the excel-1
lent grazing that it furnished all|
summer long. He said, “I plan to
leave from 50 to 60 cows on this;
field of sericea the year round, by
over-seeding with rye grass and
crimson clover for winter and
spring grazing.” However, to keep
sericea in a vigorous growing con
dition he plans to use an extra ap
plication of fertilizer and avoid
over-grazing.
Mr. Norton is typical of many
fanners who are sold on sericea for
grazing, seed, soil conservation and
land building.
