He used the broadcast method of plantnig and Used about 50 bushels per acre of home grown, freshly dug sprigs. Mr. Owings has 18 acres of estab lished coastal bermuda that was planted with the district’s bermuda planter in lOS-l. He said that there was little difference in the cost of the two methods which they had used in planting coastal bermuda —namely broadcast and bermuda plahter? 'If you have plenty of labor and your own home grown springs, I’d use the broadcast method. Otherwise, I would buy the sprigs and use a bermuda j planter. If 1 had it to do over, 1 I would use a bermuda planter,” ■ Mr. Owings'-stated. “The most im portant thing in getting a stand is to use plenty of freshly dug sprigs 'and plant when there is plenty of moisture,” h? said.

They suggest that there is no better way to s’tart off the day than by serving fresh peaches for breakfast. They point out that the distinctive flavor of fresh peaches will be a good booster to pep up Lagging appetites brought on by the hot weather. Besides tasting so good, 'peaches are also good for you. Yellow peaches especially are a source of Vitamin A, the vitamin needed for healthy skin, normal vision, and good growth. “On hot mornings serve a tempting, cool, refreshing breakfast of fresh peaches with ready-to-eat cereal and cream or milk,” the extension workers say. "You can serve this easy-to-fix breakfast with a minimum of time and effort. “Enjoy the abundant supply of peaches this summer by serving them often. Sliced fresh peaches and milk are not only good as a breakfast starter but they also make a light, refreshing, but nourishing, summertime dessert or between-meal snack,” they add. their county, state and nation.

These parctices were applied in carrying out their soil | and water conservation plans de signed to keep soil and water on. the farm. A carefully planned water dis posal system is necessary on ev ery farm. Vegetated waterways and meadow outlets are important parts of these systems. They should be used in addition to oth er needed practices such as ter races, rotations, cover crops and stubble mulching. There is much interest in tree planting under the Soil Bank pro gram. The Work Unit office has assisted landowners to file appli cations w’ith the South Carolina State Commission of Forestry for over one and one-half million , pine seedlings during this pe- riod. A large percentage of these trees have been scheduled for planting by the district’s tree planting service during the next season. Cooperators with the Laurens District have planted 1541 acres of perennial vegetation in water dis posal areas to conserve soil and water emptying from terraces. To date 1373 miles of terraces have been built with help from SCS technicians. J. B. O’Dell, W. H. Fleming and M. Y.

Get a copy of Extension Circular entitled “Ants and Their Control.” 6. Watch for screw ■worms and treat with BQ 335. 7. Check bees for wax moth. 8. Use extension publications on tobacco insects and diseases to identify and fight the pests. 9. Fumigate to control insects of small grains. Agricultural Engineering 1. Have trench, doiible box, or other type of silo ready when si lage is ripe. 2. Use waste crank case oil to aid in rust prevention on plows, discs, and other bright parts of farm machinery. 8. Check over farm machinery and order needed repair parts. 4. Get the mower in good running condition for the hay season. 5.

Good Farming Hints For July Attention Better farming suggestions for July by County Agent C. B. Can- non show no ■ letup for 1 the good farmer. Agronomy 1. There is still time to plant Coastal Bermuda. Use fresh sprigs when moisture conditions are fa vorable. 1 2. If the acreage of propective summer forage crops is not sufficient for farm needs, plant additional acreage after thorough soil preparation. 3. Use rotational grazing to increase pas ture yields. 4. Use plenty of ni trogen top-dressing on Coastal i Bermuda for hay. 5. Use mowing machine to clip weeds in perma nent pasture. 6. Plant grain sor ghum now for October grain. 7. Watch out for^the cotton boll- worm. For effective control, poi son before worms are full grown. 8. Kill the boll weevil. Horticulture 1. Grow plenty of vegetables in gardens for cannnig adequate supply for home use next winter. 2. Pull sweet com shortly before mealtime or before canning; it loses its sugar rapidly. 3. After harvesting place fruits and vege tables in the shade at once to hold their quality and vitamins. 4. Set out tomato plants for a fall crop. 6.
