V - Pair* Two THE CLINTON CHRONICLE ThmniMj, April 7, IMS ¥ ‘ Women Request Atom Test Bon On All Sundoys Anderson, April 2 — Members of tbe Young Matrons class of Hopewell Baptist church near Anderson think the ABC should stop testing nuclear weapons on Sunday. In a resolution addressed to South Carolina lawmakers in Washington, the class urges “You to use your influence to see that Sunday is observed ac cording to the Bible’s teachings, and that these tests not be made on the Sabbath.” ‘Since our nation is not at war, there cannot possibly be any ex treme drflency about these tests,” the resoluiton said. All Tha Littla Things Maadad Foe Tha Offica Phone 74 Cotton Allotments Reduced - Why? Last year many of our farmers, for some reason, did not plant their full cotton allotment—others did not plant at all. A good number of these failed to turn their allotment back to the County Committee in time for re-assignment of the acreage to farmers wanting to plant more cotton. The county cotton allotment has been reduced this year by the amount that was planted last year. *Are we going to continue losing our cotton acreage—that is up to you, Mr. Farmer! *- Every farmer can help—Yes, by turning back allot ments that are not going to be planted—turn it in now, so the acreage may be re-assigned. Let the county get its entire allotment planted this year. WE CANNOT TURN THE CLOCK BACK ... Don’t delay, plan to plant your allotment or turn it back to the committee to be re-assigned. Do it NOW, without further delay so the County Allotment will not be reduced again next year. Laurens county lost 2,900 acres from 1964 due to failure of farmers not planting or turning in the unused acres. i9") h. s. iiiilev * m.3j« fed - CAPITAL AND SURPLUS $400.00000 MEMBER - FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION waaaaaaxMWMMaaxMWWWHMMiMMMOiigpoiWMMMiniMWMMWWM “BUNNY HOP” Meat Specials MORRELL’S TENDER Picnic Hams ^ 39c Mistletoe—*4 Lb.

County Agent Small Grain Damaged The small grain crop of Laurens county is showing serious damage now from the effects of freeze sev eral days ago. At first it was thought the grain crop was not as seriously damaged as now appears. However, there are some fields of late seeded oats not damaged as seriously. Wheat and barely advanced in growth suffered more damage. Grain that appears not recovering may be grazed or cut for hay where the growth justifies hay cutting. Where the recovery looks anyways like a reasonable growth will continue, it is suggested the grain be allowed to grow, and when it begins to head and it then looks like grain will not be formed in the heads, the grain could then be cut for hay. In case the plant appears to produce grain for com bining, the grain should be allow ed to mature. Farmers depend heavily on grain as feed and cash crop these years. The loss of a grain crop will be greatly felt. Grain cut for hay at this sea son will be safe for feed. The trou ble though, small tonage will be cut per acre. Alfalfa suffered heavily, but farmers cut hay immediately and saved the hay, although tonage per acre was low. Where grain has been injured to the extent of having to graze off or cut for hay, farmers are advised to increase their acreage of sweet sorghum, grain sorghum and soy beans. Seed of recommended vari eties should be obtained at once. For silage and forage, the recom mended variety of sweet sorghum are Martins, Redbine 60, Redbine 66, Coprook and Hegari. Recom mended t soybeans are Jackson, Lee, OJS4, JEW45 and Roanoke. No Peach Crop The commercial peach crop growers of the County have lost approximately (85,000 on this years’ crop. The payroll in harv esting the crop by local labor will be felt; also the freight or track lines as well as the industry man ufacturing crate an'd basket con tainers will feel the effects of the lost crop. .Fresh fruits for the local market and canning for home use will be a big loss. - Crimson Clover Recovering Crimson Clover is recovering rather good from the effects of the freeze. Pasture grass shows signs of freeze damage, but will recover with warm rains and application of nitrogen. Shrub Damaged By Freeze Practically all kinds of shruos felt the effects of the hard freeze, and many phone calls to the County Agents Office asking for information in pruning. It is recommolded that pruning be delayed for several days in or der to know which branches or the entire plant is alive. It is felt that by far the majority of the plants will put out new growth. Where this is seeipj^the dead branches should be retnoved at once. All flowering shrabs that have flowered this spring such as: Spireas, Golden Bells, Christmas Honeysuckle, Japanese Quince, flowering peach, etc., should have the regular pruning at time the dead branches are being removed. Attend Dairy Meeting James Adair, technician; Hance Finley, president of Laurens Co operative Artificial Breeding asso ciation, and C. B. Cannon, county agent, attended the annual meet ing of the South Carolina Fed erated Cooperative Breeding asso ciation at Clemson college March 30 and 31. The program included a tour of the Clemson bull stud project with Prof. J. P. LaMastere, head, dairy department of Clemson college, in charge and who gave brief discus sion of the breeding of each bull. The business session was held the night of the 30th, following the banquet. Dr. H. A. Herman, exec utive secretary. National Associa tion of Artificial Breeders, was the guest speaker at the banquet hour. The following day, Victor Hurst, who is in charge of the artificial breeding program at the college, spoke to the group on frozen se men and other technioal phases of breeding program. Following this talk the group was shown daughters of Clemson bulls in pro duction, with C. C. Brannon, asso ciate professor in dairying, in charge. Prof. LaMasters gave a talk on crossbreeding dairy cows, during the morning meeting. Cush- mas, Lomas and Steer, extension service, assisted in the meetings. According to the experiment records in the dairy breeding at Clemson, the Holstein and Brown Swiss cross is giving most favor able production. Prof. LaMaster mentioned that the Holstein crossed on BroaN^post Swiss and these off springs crossed again on Holstein bulls were good breeding, and on this cross, use Guernsey or Jersey bulls if butter fat is reducing. Laurens County Fat Steen Tops Market Ardith Norton, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. L. L.

He mentioned that approximately five persons die each day from cancer in the state and stressed the impor tance of the cancer centers throughout the country. The cost of the diagnosis of one case of cancer has been placed between seven and ten thousand dollars. He also stated that the htass X-Ray surveys are being held all over the country as a part of the caicer program. Much progress has been made in the cancer program and more encouragement is shown than despair. A check for $500 was present ed Mrs. DeLoache by J. P.

They termed er roneous reports that the city had been held up in the work by an injunction preventing construc tion of the dam. A Rearing was held in Abbe ville seeking an injunction, but Judge E. H. Henderson did not stop the city from building the dam. He enjoined the city from using more than a “reasonable” amount of water in the unnamed creek involved. Negotiations are continuing with an adjoining property own er and city officials think an agreement will be reached in the next few days on water rights in question.
