Farmers and others are interested in the activities and accomplishments within their district. This publication of news has assisted the district to a large degree in the rate of appli- ation of conservation practices on the land. The supervisors are deeply appreciative of this valu able service rendered. Other Comervalion Farmers Speak .V Furman Thomason of the Trin ity Ridge community said: “Some farmers kick fescue but I think it is still‘the best winter grass we have,, if properly used and managed.” Pringle Copeland of the Hope- well community had this to say: “My meadow outlets sure work fine They are the best arrange ments for taking care of terrace water Tve seen. Also, the seriea hay from fhese meadows > ia mighty good when cut tender.’ Herschel Wilson of the Trinity Ridge community made this statement: “I have learned from observation and experience that it is foolish to disregard terraces when preparing land and / plant ing crops.’’ James F. Dupre, of the Owings section says: ' Sericea is good grazing. I wish I had more land to plajnt to sericea.” Claud Turner of Ora, said: “I have found that-you have to manage a fish pond properly if you expect to get good fishing.” Conservation Education . The District observed Soil and Water Conservation District Week from May 10-16, 1953. Local Business Assists District Local business Concerns have assisted the district in many ways. They have encouraged farmers to practice conservation, and have put them in touch with sources of help when farmers need assistance in problems. In addition they have helped fi nance district projects and ex penses incurred on a local and national basis. The following are affiliate members of the National Associ ation: Naco Farm Supply Store, Lau- •rens; Palmetto Bank, Laurens; W. B Blaely Seed Cleaning Plfmt, Laurens; Laurens Tractor and Implement Co., Laurens; Pitts-Dillard Implement Co., Clinton; H. D. Payne and Co., Clinton. Problem* The district has its problems, of course. Many farmers are not irt financial position to apply conservation practices as rapidly as needed. Absentee land own ers and tenants are not as inter ested in Soil Conservation , as they should be. More education is needed to acquaint these peo ple with the need for doing, and how through the iSoil Conserva tion district they may receive much valuable help from the agencies primarily engaged in -conserving soil and water.
