P. C. Tennis
Schedule To
Open Monday
Presbyterian College, opening
its 1955 tennis season Monday,
will seek to boost its rank among
the top eight intercollegiate ten
nis powers with a schedule
which brings to the PC campus
such teams as Harvard, Cornell,
Swarthmore and the University
of Miami.
The talented Blue Hose let go
with the first serve on a Florida
invasion starting at Florida State
Monday afternoon. Rollins on
Tuesday and two matches
against Miami net Thursday and
Friday will complete the tour.
Presbyterian netmen, led once
more by Davis Cup prospect Al
len Morris, and coached by Jim
Leighton, will be out to better
last season's record of 11 wins
and 4 defeats—a mark which in
cluded victories over such pow-
"ers as North Carolina, Duke and
Yale.
These three opponents are
again included, along with Har
vard and Virginia, on the north
ern tour this spring. Both Har
vard and Miami will be met
three times during the 1955 sea
son.
Coach Leighton has termed his
forthcoming slale “the toughest
schedule of any college tennis
team in the country.” For this
reason, he does not expect the
brilliant 1954 record even though
his present squad is better bal
anced and more aggressive.
In tackling Rollins and Miami
the first week, PC will meet two
of the very few' teams in the
country which rank ahead of it.
This strong pair were respon
sible for three of Presbyterian’s
four defeats last year.
Allen Morris will lead the
Hosemen as team captain and as
a recognized player ranked sec
ond in the South and 18th na
tionally. Coach Leighton expects
his star to maintain an unbeaten
record in intercollegiate play
this spring.
Here’s the tennis schedule
Presbyterian College will face in
this season:
March 14 — Florida State at
Tallahassee; 15—Rollins at Win
ter Park, Fla.; 17-18—Miami at

Lowered government price
support on grain should be con
sidered as important in proper
storage of small grain. Farmers
who have not stored grain pro
perly or never stored grain at all
and who expect to store this year
will get helpful information by
attending the grain meeting
March 15 at 10:00 a. m. in the
Agricultural Building.
Sheep Meeting
There will be a meeting of sheep
pproducers of. Laurens county on
March 16 at 2:00 p. m. on the
farm of W. P. Dickson, Hopewell
community. Mr. Dickson’s farm is
on the Laurens-‘Newberry county
line, Highway 56.
A discussion of sheep production
and demonstration in castration
and docking of lambs, and drench
ing for cohtrol'of worms. The
meeting is open to the public.
Have Planting Seed Tested
Farmers are urged to have
planting seed tested before plant
ing time for germination and pur
ity.
Test will be made free by J. Roy
Jones, Commissioner of Agricul
ture, Columbia. Approximately
one pint of cotton seed, or one
half pint of corn will be sufficient
seed to send. The seed should be
sent in a strong container, cloth
bag or cardboard ibox, plainly ad
dressed.
State Bee Meeting
The state bee meeting to be
held at Jefferson hotel, Columbia,
March 16 at 9:00 a. m. and over
by 4:00 p. m. All persons interest
ed in bees are invited to attend the
meeting. A number of speakers
are scheduled on the program.
Return Cotton Acreage
The A. S. C. office will be glad
for any farmer who will not plant
part or all of his cotton acreage
allotment this year to report the
acreage to the A. S. C. office so
the acreage can be re-allotted to
those farmers wishing to have
more acres to plant cotton. By
turning back, cotton acreage not
to be planted, to the A. S. C. otf-
fice wfll give credit on the farm
future cotton history as planted
acreage. A fanner planting with
in 90 per cent of his cotton acres
counts as if he planted 100 per
cent. Cotton must be planted at
least one year out of the last three
years to hold the history of the
farm. Cotton acreage not planted,
will reduce the cotton acreage hta-
tory for the county and state for
the future. Farmers are the only
ones who have cotton acreage, and
it is up to the farmers to protect
their own cotton allotments for
the future. Last year, the cotton
farmers of the state failed to plant
approximately 103,000 acres. Laur
ens county farmers failed to plant
appproximately 2,000 acres of
their county allotment for 1954.
To those farmers who are re
questing more cotton acreage, you
should feel that it is your own
obligation to see that those farm
ers who are not planting their cot
ton acres, turn back to the A. S. C.
office the acreage.
It doesn’t make sens$ to ask
Congress for more cotton acreage
allotment when the farmers of
the state and county are not plant
ing the full acreage already allot
ted under the farm program.
Coastal Bermuda
Farmers interested in purchas-,
ing certified coastal bermuda sto-1
Ions for .setting a seed patch for
future planting on the farm, are
requested to place order with the
county agent’s office.
There are farmecs in Laurens
county who have certified coastal
bermuda stolons for safe. It is
time for bermuda to be planted
In planting coastal bermuda
stolons, care must be taken to
not cover the entire stolon as the
stolon will die. Tliis is different
from the old native bermuda grass
which can be completely covered
and get a stand.
Despite the dry weather last
year, coastal bermuda made food
growth. A seed patch of one half
to an acre per farm wiM afford
sufficient stolons for future set
ting.
