Sullivan of Lexington, a native of Laurens, spends his spare time at conservation farm ing on the old Sullivan home place at Tumblin Shoals. Mr. Sub livan is mainly interested in pines and pastures—perfect soil and water conservation practices; which he has done a good job in applying on his farms. Last week Mr. Sullivan was fertilizing his 18 acres of sericea, using 400 pounds per acre of an 0-14-14 fertilizer. He is well pleas ed with the results from sericea as a hay crop. For the past two years he has averaged over two tons of good quality hay which brought $30.00 per ton at the farm. He says that a good appli cation of an 0-14-14 fertilizer early each spring will certainly improve the quality and quantity of sericea hay and grazing. He has planted approximately 45,000 pine tree seedlings during the past three years on his 148- acre tree farm near Madden Sta tion. He has constructed over a mile and one half of fire lanes, done selective cutting of trees and other good forestry management practices on this farm, for which he has received the South Caro lina Tree Farmer Award. 0 0 0 The Laurens County Board of Soil Conservation District Super visors held their first meeting of the year on Tuesday night of last week.
