Laurens School Boajrd Doe* Not
Plan Calling An Election To Take
Care of Estimated 1956-1957 Deficit
THE CLINTON CHRONICLE
Pac* ThirUa
Laurens, May <—G. Miller Mc-
Cuen, chairman of the Board of
Trustees of School Disrtict No.
55, sadi last week that the board
does not presently contemplate
petitioning for an election as
provided for in the County Sup
ply Bill to take care of the es
timated deficit to occur in 1956-
57 xependitures.
At the meeting held April 13,
he said, the board authorized
Dist. Supt C. K. Wright to for
ward contracts to teachers of the
district without any reduction in
salaries from last year.
The board, he said, is hoping
that the new delegation to enter
office in January will take care
of the anticipated deficit just as
this year’s delegation did.
In making the announcement,
Mr. McCuen, who said he was
speaking for the board made the
following statement.
“Hie county supply bill, as
passed in the closing moments o!
the session, provides for a levy
of only 25 mills for the support
of schools in the District, al-
proved by the Board and submit-
though the budget as twice ap
ed to the delegation in Febru
ary of this year calls for a. levy
of 35 mills. The delegation in ^ap
proving only 25 mills in the sup
ply bill provides that the Board
of Trustees might call for an elec
tion for the people to approve the
additional 10 mills. The time
when contracts are usually enter
ed into is long since past, and to
delay further while an election
is called and held would not be
fair to the teachers in our schools,
The Board has considered this,
but does not contemplate calling
such an election at this time.
"We do not feel justified in
longer withholding action on our
teacher contracts, as further de
lay will disrupt the teaching
staffs of the various schools in
our district. The board is fully
aware that the issuance of con
tracts to our teachers with no cut
in their salaries will cause an
operating deficit in school funds
for the coming year, but feels
that the welfare of our children
is of paramount importance, and
to attempt to cut salaries would
prove to be a backward step.
In making his statement. Chair
man McCuen added that the
average operating cost per pupil
throughout the state is greater
than in District 55 and said that
to attempt to cut it further would'
destroy the effectiveness of the
system. .
Other parts of Laurens county,
no wealthier than Dist. 55 and 56,
already have higher school levies
than those two districts, he said.
Last year, he said, the levy in
Ware Shoals 51 was 35 mills and
in Greenville 5200 the levy was
42 mills. _
The average levy for school
purposes in the Piedmont area,
he said, was 40.78 mills. The
highest, he said was 57.5 mills in
York County and the lowest 25
mills in Laurens County.
,f We feel that the welfare of
our children should be given a
place of first importance," he
said.

deliver pepper plants for the last
time at the Laurens county far!-
grounds May 14 from 2:00 pw m.

livering plants is due to rains de
laying fanners from preparing
land, and also rains in Florida
interfering with pulling plants
where they are grown.

acreage signed up or any person
who has not signed up for plant
ing may do so at the fairgrounds
Monday, May 1.4
Saw Damonstration
There will be a chain saw dem
onstration Saturday, May 12, be
ginning in the morning and last
ing until 4:00 p. m., at the David
Blakely place, Laurens, on the
new by-pass near the cement
bridge on the Laurens-Spartan
burg highway. In the afternoon,
two drawings for free chain saws
will be held. The public is in
vited. Labor-saving equipment
under present-day conditions is
considered efficient operation..
Small Grain For Silag*
Small grain makse excellent
silage or hay for both dairy and
beef cattle.
The grain should be cut early,
in the milk stage, for hgihest
quality feed. Small grain for
silage may be stored in bundles
cut by grain binder or finely
chopped with field harvester.
Grain silage will keep if prell
packed in silo without a preser
vative, however, molasses used at
the rate of 40 pounds to 60 pounds
per ton makes a more desirable
feed.
Trench silos cost approximate
ly one dollar per ton to con
struct, as compared to $10 per
ton for uprigh\ silo.
Blueprints for building a
trench or bunker silo mal be had
free from the county agent’s of
fice.
Grain Bins
Farmers are reminded to have
grain bins ready for storage at
harvesting time. Old bins should
be checked for repairs, cleaned,
and sprayed thoroughly for insect
control.
Prospects are good for a good
grain crop. Price of grain to
farmers usually drops during
peak of harvest. Temporary
storage of marketing grain on the
farm during pea kharvest season
no doubt will give good returns.
However, goqd storage is profi
table whether grain is used on
the farm or sold commercially.'
Cattle Bloating
Farmers reporting trouble of
cattle bloating grazing clover and
lush growing grass at this sea
son. Bfloat is dangerous and
kills quickly unless treatment is
given at once.
There are simple treatments a
person may use such as drenching
the affected animal with one half
ounce of formaldehyde in a pint
of water, or may use 12 ounces of
raw linseed oil, or one teacup of
kerosene in a pint of water.
One half pint of warm sweet
milk is also recommended as a
treatment. If a person ..does not
have material to drench with as
mentioned above a greased round
such as a P'e c p of boe handle,

recommendation.is to call the vet- the lungs.
arinarian at once. \
