■il. fk */a-V Thursday. October 15, 1953 THE CLINTON CHRONICLE '/ Page Seven MODERN JOANNA HOSPITAL The Joanna Memorial hospital, a modern, 15-bed structure valued at more than $150,000, was built in 1949 as a result of the joint effort of Joanna’s employees and manage ment. Erected in honor of the three hundred Joanna citizens who serv ed in World War II and the nine men who died in service, the hos pital has treated almost 1500 pa tients in its four years of service to the people of the community. It is complete with operating room, x-ray equipment, laboratory and obstetrical department and i^ air- j conditioned throughout. Headed by a registered nurse, Miss Kittie Mae Moseley, as ad ministrator, the staff of the hospital is composed of capable and effic ient personnel. Doctors from Jo anna and other communities per form operations and visit their pa-j tients at the hospital. The Joanna hospital was financed, jointly by a generous gift from the; Regnery family and voluntary con-, tfibutions from 1300 Joanna em ployees—a working example of the | community spirit evident at Jo- anna. Individual rooms were fur nished by various civic groups, churches, and fraternal organiza tions. The hospital derives a part of its income from profits of the company-owned Joanna Stores. Joanna’s hospital was formally dedicated on July 15, 1949, with state dignitaries assisting local citi zens with the impressive ceremony. Notes From The County Agent's Office By C. B. CANNON. County Agon! 4-H Club Win* $209 Priz« Money Laurens county 4-H dairy calf club members won $209 in prize money recently at the Fairview Stock Show. Don Willis, Greenpood commun ity, placed first in fitting class and first in the Junior calf class with his Guernsey animal.

Beef Cattle Men Furnish Bulls For Experiment Laurens county purebred beef cattle producers furnish 14 pure bred bulls of the thirty Hereford bulls selected in the state for feed ing experiment project at Clemson 4 college. Seven Angus bulls mak ing a total of 37 purebred bulls in the test. Breeders from the county with animals in the experiment are: Joanna Hereford Farm, Joanna; Lawson Brothers, and S. G. Dillard, Clinton; Lick Creek Farm, Gray Court, Rt. 1; James -D. Wasson, George E. Wasson and Roy Kellett, Hickory Tavern community; Hen derson and White, Owings; and Thomason Brothers, Trinity Ridge community. The bulls were selected by Prof. R. R. Ritchie, Animal Husbandry Department of Clemson college. The experiment is to show the ability of the animal to convert feed into the maximum pounds of profi table beef. The project covers a period oi approximately 150 days, beginning the first of October, 1953, and extending through February, 1954. At the end of the fedding test, these purebred bulls will be sold to the highest bidder at a sale held at Clemson. Furnishing A7.8 per cent of the number of bulls of the state from x Laurens county speaks well of the purebred breeders of the county. Faader Calf Sal* Beef cattle producers from And erson, Greenville, Laurens and Spartanburg counties held a feeder calf sale at Bruce’s Livestock Bam, Greenville, Saturday, Octo- ber 10. Calves, steers and heifers weigh- i ing from 350 to 700 pounds, graded - by special livestock committee from Celmson College and the Ex tension Service, in grades of fancy, choice, good and medium. Calves vaccinated with serum for shipping fever. Heifer calves set- ed for bangs. Fall Garden Gardeners should do their fall gardening while season is good. Planting of onion sets such as white multipliers, yellow Globe, Danvers, Prizetaker, white pearl and Aus tralian Brown are recommended varieties. White multiplying on ions are one of, the best onions for seasoning food as well as eating fresh. Local seed stores have a supply of sets on hand now. This onion is always scarce for plant ing purposes. Sow a few cabbage seed such as Charleston Wakefield. Scarlet Globe and Rapid Forcing radish; Giant Southland curled mustard and Shogoin (for salad) turnip. Land to be well prepared and liberal amount of fertiliser used. Grain Disease Prevention Is Urged In S. C. Clemson — During the next few weeks .thousands, of South Carolina farmers ^ill be seeding grains according to W. C. Nettles, leader, Clemson Entomology and Plant Disease Extension Work, who has issued a statement urging these growers not to overlook # the im-J portance of carrying out recom mended practices for grain deseasej prevention. “Plant diseases have long been recognized as being serious draw backs to the production of small grains,’ he says. “Small grain dis eases can best be prevented by fol lowing certain practices before and during seeding, and the failure to carry out these practices often re sults in failures at harvest time,” he adds. Mr. Nettles suggests a four-point program which will hold small grain disease losses to a minimum: (1) Crop rotation- and good ferti lizer practice. (2) use of adapted high-yielding disease-resistant va rieties, (3) use of high quality peed properly cleaned and treated, and (4) planting at the right time. He says many farmers have found that if they grow wheat on the same land for too long or oats on the same land too long lower yields result. A number of factors, in cluding soil fertility and perhaps weeds, probably contribute to the lower yields, and experience indi cates that from repeated plantings on the same ground there is a build-up with certain diseases such as mosaic. “Plant breeders have been right sucessful in developing high-yield ing varieties of wheat which are resistant to rust and mildew and of oats which are resistant to rust, smut, mosaic and victoria blight,” Mr. Nettles continues. “In the case of barley, they have made progress in developing varieties resistant to mildew. In Recommending varieties agronomists have taken this fact into consideration. “Cleaning seed is important in disease control, as it removes small particles of straw which carry dis ease germs and weak small grains which are more likely to be affect ed. Seed treatments are effective in helping to get healthier seed lings and at times improved stands. Seed treatments have been espec ially valuable in control of disease such as oat smuts and certain smuts of wheat and barley. . “Time of planting is also impor tant. Oats planted during extreme ly warm weather seem to be more subject to seedling blights and when planted in the spring seem to be more subject to rust damage. Barley seems to be more sensitive to mildew when planted late," he adds. Eastern Star To Meet Friday The regular monthl> ig of the James B.
