C. B. 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

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.

is an investment of about $11,-
000 in plant and equipment
These machines fpr the most part
are financed by earnings that
have been ploughed back into
business, and most of the re
mainder from savings of the
well-to-do. 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”

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. By being practi
cal we live in peace with our col
ored citizens; by passing new
segregation laws we are not be
ing practical—The Easley Prog

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."
