CANNON, County Agent Pasture Grau Needs FertUiser At this season most well kept pastures are furnishing ample grazing, and there is danger of over-looking the need of ample grazing later in the year. To have this needed grazing, pas ture grasses must be fertilized with complete fertilizer and top- dressed with nitrogen. No successful farmer would think of planting his cotton, corn or small grain .without fer tilizing. Yet, pasture grasses feed from the soil the same as the crops mentioned above. Ap plying fertilizer to pasture grass es is labor saving in feed pro duction, and preventing' soil from washing away by produc ing a thick sod. Thrip on Cotton’ Thrip is a small insect about one-twentyth ,of an inch long varying in color from light- yellow ish to almost black, caus ing injury to leaves and termin al buds and may cause a silvery color on underside of leaves of cotton plants. Young leaves are left ragged and often cup-shaped by feeding thrips. Damage to small cotton plants usually re sults in severe stunting, exces sive branching to terminal grow th, and sometimes will kill the plants. Also late infestation may sometimes cause shedding of leaves and even squares. Thrips attack many plants, in cluding weeds and small grain —the insect is sometimes called grain harvest bug.* They usually migrate from small grain fields when the grain begins to mature to adjacent cotton. There are several kinds of thrip and a41 have the same effect on sucking foliage of plants. The burning or browning of rose petals, causing the flowed to not open is due to injury of thfc tiny yellow or brown thrips sucking the flower, and may be seen by carefully opening the flower. Application of five per cent DDT dust or one percent | lindane to rose flowers and buds every two or three days will de stroy many thrips as they alight on the flowers. Cotton should be dusted at once Association, received eight calls last Monday morning by 10:00 a. m. to breed cattle through arti ficial breeding service. Mr. Adair’s record for settling cows cows runs from 70 to 74..4 per cent non-returns which is a good record. The use of the Laurens Artificial Breeding Association Service is a clear indication that dairymen are learning the value of high producing sires to in crease milk production in their individuaft herds. It is estimated that it will cost approximately $200 per year to keep a bull on the farm—This cost is over and above the value of the animal. Bulls are danger ous to handle, and require sepa rate place from cows to be kept. There are very few bulls in ser vice in Laurens County with production record and value of- the bulls in the Clemson College Dairy herd breeding program. The semen used to breed cows 1 in this county is used from the same bulls that are bred artifici ally to the Clemson cows. Many of these bulls are valued $4,000 or more. Very few dairymen can afford to own such priced animals individually, and yet through the artificial breeding program, any person in Laurens County owning a female cow may get this valuable service at a reasonable price of $7.00 for three services, if it requires that many times to settle the animal. Clinton Wins Over HonefrPaih For Class C. Crown Clinton's Red Devils had to fight Honea Path’s Stingers 10 innings Monday for a 9-9 victory and the Upper State Class A high school baseball championship at the Watts mill park. The Red Devils scored after two outs in the tenth. Jack Sknmohs was hit by a pitched ball, and Dusty Reaves and Bdbby Pearson hit successive singles to score Simmons. Clinton plays Bishopville for the state championship. The two-of- three series is tentatively sched uled to start at 8 p. rq. today (Thursday) at the Clinton mill park. The state championship must be decided by midnight Saturday, according to South Carolina High School League fples. Roy Benjamin hit a two-run home run for Clinton in the fourth inning to cut Honea Path’s lead to 7-6. Clinton tied the game at 8-8 with jl two-run rally in the eighth inning. Righthander Charles Malpass won his sixth game in nine de cisions. He struck out 14 batters to give him a total of 86 strikeouts in 83 1-3 innings.

Adair, Technician for Laurens Cooperative Breeding Glamorous Hanky Accents Fashion Handkerchiefs »have gone gla morous. , They have become important fashion accessories, for they may be tailored as tweed or as deli cate as the sheerest formal. For tailored costumes, cotton handkerchiefs in colored woven fabrics in such shades as wedg- wood blue, grape red, apricot and sea-fo?un are ideal They can be tucked into the pocket for a dash of color, worn at the neck kerchief style, or placed at the belt.

More than 13.7 per cent of the total crop was list to diseases. These are the estimates of the Cotton Disease Council after a survey of 14 major, cotton pro ducing states. California esti mates are not included in this tabulation.
