CANNON, Another Car Of Nitrocen A 30 ton car at ammonium ni-. trate was received the last of June for . top-dressing pasture demon strations. Another car of 35 tons is expected the latter part of July. Farmers realize that pastures are more profitable when properly fertilized and limed. Good pas tures not only afford good cheap feed, but is a big labor saver in that the livestock use their own labor in harvesting the feed. Also close growing sods pre vents erosion of the soil and makes possible proper land use, other wise, not suitable for row crops. Legumes, such as clovers, makes a higher quality pasture and ap plication of complete fertilizer and lime, where lime is needed, is essential for best results with le gumes. The honey bee is an important insect in transmitting pollen to clover flowers over the pasture. The bee also carries pollen of all kinds of flowers, and in many cas es is the only means of transmit ting pollen. This insect should be protected. Honey is one of the best kinds ci i-od, in that it is eas ily digested and is produced as a sanitary prdouct in so far as the bee’s work. July Garden Worn Lima beans may be planted from July 15-25. Pole beans, cucumbers, and egg plants, from July 1-15 as well as beets. Cabbage and collard seed may be sown from July 1-30. Carrots seed from August 1-30 and okra seed ma<y be planted at once. To mato plants may be set for late tomatoes. Garden insects are always to be watched and proper methods used in controlling same. For the past several days, calls have come to the office from gar deners stating their tomatoes are showing black spots on the blos som end of the tomato. This is known as ’ Blossom End Rot’ afad is caused from weather conditions, and there is no satisfactory control for the trouble. 1954 Laurens County Fair The fifth annual Laurens Coun ty Fair will be held this year on October 4-9 Premium money has been increased this year and ap proximately. $4,000 in prizes . will be paid as premiums on the va rious exhibits. From present indi cations this year's fair should be the best yet. Ip the dairy cattle department, classes have been added this year for Holstein cattle, and additional classes have been added for Ayr- shires. These in addition to class es for Jerseys and Guernseys should give us one of the top dairy shows in the state thsi year. The past two years have seen dairy cattle exhibited at Laurens which have topped their classes and won championships at the State Fair and other top fairs in the state. We hope particularly that all MIDWAY Drive-In Theatre CLINTON-JOANNA County Agent 4-H club members and FFA mem bers in Laurens county who own registered dairy animals will bring them to the fair. In addition to exhibitor^ from the county, there is expected to be a number of out- of-county herds shown. Anyone desiring information on show classes or health requirements, should contact thi$ office or A. F. Baumberger, Laurens, Rt. 3, or Caldwell Henderson of Clinton, who are superintendents of the dairy cattle department. Due to the lune of the fair last year, the beef cattle shown were short of numbers, but this year it is expected that beef cattle exhibits should be up in both quality and numbers. There will be classes this year for both Herefords and Short horns. A number of county breed ers are getting herds ready to show and it is hoped that some of the other good herds in the state will exhibit. Ryan F. Law- son and L. L. Norton, of Clinton, are superintendents of the beef cattle department. Farmers, FFA members, and 4-H club members are urged to exhibit agricultural products. There are entries for corn, small grain, hay, and many other farm products. J. W.~ Tinsley, Laurens, Rt. 3, and T. Roy DeShields, Lan- ford, are superintendents of the field crops and horticulture de partments. Spectator •..

The amount of elec trical power produced in the United States last year was equivalent to thirty-six times the amount of human power. Hence, each worker has at his command the equivalent of thirty-six mechanical slaves. In a survey conducted bg. the Lon don Economist, it was found that the American worker on tne av erage produces twice as much as the British worker and that the ‘master key’ to this spread was the twice as great per capita consumption of electricity in our country. Without the aid of power- driven machines, the American worker would be forced to work under primitive conditions and provide for most of his wants His working period would be more than twice what it is today, while his living standard would be reduced to a subsistence bas is. To provide the necessary plant and equipment for Ameri can industry calls for a huge in vestment. Since the end of World War II, the amount spent for these facilities has exceed ed $200 billion. An estimated three-fourths of the current out lay is for replacement of worn- out facilities. The American practice of scrapping the old for the new contributes largely to ward making our economy so ef fective. The use life of equip ment shows considerable varia tion, but on the average it is per haps around twenty years. Thus expenditures of this type are a long-term risk. The investment of capital is always susceptible to loss, and no firm can afford to incur risk without the pros pect of profit” SUN. & MON. JULY 11-12 GIVE A GIRL A BREAK Technicolor, With Marge and Gower Champion and Debbie Reynolds NEWS SHORT CARTOON No More Lows, Please A South Carolina crew of Seg regation specialists is touring (at State expense) the regions of Mississippi and Louisiana to find out what the folks out there think of the Supreme Court and what it aims to*do. They have gone in the wrong direction. All they will get out there is the- after-election consolation of one defeated politician to another. Louisiana has already passed a new law to maintain segregation. That’s exactly what the Supreme Court has said they may not do. It is practicality and not law our tourists need to seek. It may be lawful for your Negro ser vants to sit down at your dinner table but it is not practical. „It is not practical to violate the law of nature that birds of a feather flock together.

July Crop Status Worst On Record COLUMBIA, July 7—The South Carolina crop situation “is prob ably the worst of record tor early July,” the Federal-State Crop Re porting Service said yesterday as the state’s drought worsened. In the state as a whole, the re porting service said, crops are de teriorating and even cotton is stunted. Some can still recover if rain comes soon, but for others it is already too late. “General rains are urgently needed in all sections. Lade of ade quate moisture for a month or more has culminated in searing heat and severe droutfit with heavy damage to com, pastures, tobacco, truck crops, and lowered milk and egg production. “Even cotton the proverbial ‘dry weather* plant Is beginning to show drought edtects in stunted growth and bedding in the drier areas. Some localities have receiv ed partial relief from light to mod erate showers during the past few days but crop deterioration con tinued for the state as a whole,'* the report said. “Corn prospects are the worst of recent years with much of the crop beyond recovery. Some early com matured a fair crop in a few southern counties but drought caught most of the downstate and central belt com at the critical stage with disastrous results. Even younger Piedmont com is suffer ing severely. “Tobacco is mostly boor to flair and unless rain comes soon yields Will be iube|antla31y below those of recent years. Curing Is general with auction markets Cor flue- cured tobacco to open August 2. ‘lospedeza growth is slow and plants are dying in places but the crop as a whole can recover with adequate rain in the not too dis tant future. Soybeans, cowpeas, peanuts and sweet potatoes, being relatively younger than other crops, are still in fair to good con ditions. Pastures are generally poor and even fair gazing is lim- eted to shower-favored localities. “Watermelon Mies art increas ing but drought has reduced yield piiapects and production will ba less than expected earlier. Peaches continue to move in fair quantity. Rain is needed for proper siting, however." Mid-Summer Clearance Florsheim Summer Styles Reduced to . . $14.80 Values to $20.95 Freeman Summer Styles.
