Thursday, September 5, 1957 THE CLINTON CHRONICLE < - I V*ajfe Seven CANNON. County Apont Conservation Notes, By J. B. O'DELL Egg Market C. D. Waldrep, president of Caro lina Milling Co., and Chester Aiken, president of Palmetto Egg Service, Laurens, held two conferences with the county agent in discussing mar keting of eggs. At one of these con ferences, August 22, Pj H. Gooding, Clemson College Extension Poultry specialist, was called in to advise on the egg program. The Palmetto Egg Service was organized a few months ago. William Bobo, Gray Court, son of Mr. and Mrs. C. R. Bobo, is manager. Poultry producers now have a regular outlet for their eggs. The Palmetto Egg Servite can handle only quality eggs, as the housewife is interested only in quality prod ucts. The eggs must be delivered fresh and clean to the assembling plant at Laurens, located near the Carolina Milling Company. Up to date candle, grading and washing equipment, as well as am ple cooling storage equipment has been installed. The eggs are mar keted under the trade name ‘‘Sunny- side,” in attractive egg cartons. . They are bought on grade, which is the only satisfactory method to handle eggs, at market prices. The Palmetto Egg Service will be interested in discussing egg produc tion and marketing with any person with 2,000 or more laying hens, or any person wishing to go into egg production. Within the past few weeks George Roper and his father, R. H. Roper, Laurens, have been busy getting their poultry house ready for 2,000 hens. Mr. and Mrs. Fred Pitts, Hickory Tavern, are in the process of building poultry houses to house 3,000 birds for production of com- mercial eggs and 2,000 birds for production of hatching eggs. H. D. Cooper, also of Hickory Tavern, has 1,500 birds producing eggs for the Palmetto Egg Service. Mr. Aiken states they have producers of eggs also in nearby counties. j South Carolina produces about half of the eggs consumed in this state. In discussing with the county agent the egg marketing program, Mr. Waldrep and Mr. Aiken ex pressed their desire to develop the egg market in a bilsinesS-me man ner. The county agent of Laurens County will cooperate fully in this needed market. We can never pro mote poultry satisfacaorily in this area until a satisfactory market is established. This question of mar ket is now being accomplished, and poultry production should be more encouraging as an additional cash income on our farms, especially since the cash row crops are re duced under-the control program to such a point that farm families cannot live on the farm income as such. 4-H Poultry Sale Those wishing to buy Harco Pure bred iSullets that are in production, or will be in production soon, should attend the 4-H Poultry Sale at the Laurens County fair grounds Sat urday, Sept. 21, at 10:00 a. m. Approximately 120 to 130 birds have been vaccinated est bidder. The birds treated for worms and again** chciken pox. The poultry will be judged and shown from 9:00 a. m. to 10:00 a. m. A poultry specialist from Clemson College Extension Service will judge the poultry. Feeder Calf Sale The feeder calf sale will be held at Greenwood September 13. The committee to inspect the cattle in Laurens County this week for the sale are: J. L. Adair, Sr., Clinton; Milton Thomason, Trinity -Ridge; and M. B. Henderson, Owings; with M. L. Outz, assistant county agent. Those who have notified the coun ty agent’s office of cattle for sale are requested to have their cattle corraled where they can be seen by the committee with the least delay as the committee is devoting their time free on the inspection. Planting Registered Wheat Richard Buford, Clinton, was in the county agent’s office last week and ordered 30 bushels of Taylor 49 registered wheat from the South Carolina Seed Certification Service, Clemson. J. W. Tinsley, Trinity Ridge, had also placed an order for 22 bushels of the same variety of registered wheat. Elect Community and County A SC Committee Farm people are to elect com munity committeemen and a dele gate to the county meeting Friday, Sept. 13, at 9:00 a. m. in the va rious townships. The county ASC committee will be elected by .the delegates on Sept. 30 and the committees will take of fice October 1, 1957. The regulations state that-election During the recent dry summers hundreds of farmers m Laurens County have become more and more conscious of the value of se- ricea as a grazing crop, especially durnig continued droughts when other summer plants fail to provide any grazing at all. Sam B Fleming, a district super visor of the Laurens Soil Conserva tion District, said: "I believe se- ricea is one of the most dependable plants that we have for dry weather grazing. I would have had to sell my cows had I not had scricea for them to graze during the recent dryj summers.” ‘Too many cattlemen are depend-1 ing on fescue and clover on thin land I when sericea would do a better job,” Mr. Fleming said. When seasonsUre normal and oth er plants furnish the needed sum mer grazing, the\ sericea may be cut for hay and harvested for seed as an additional income. The Soil Conservation Service as sisted Mr. Fleming in determining the suitability of his land for the de velopment of a year-round grazing program, which was included in his 1 complete soil and water conserva tion farm plan. He has bermuda and clover growing on low moist bottom land along a stream. Fescue and ladino clover are grown on his more productive m>land. Sericea is grown on the drp*hill land. He feels that this combination of plants fits his land as well as his grazing heeds for a great portion of the, year. | * t * George Johnson, of Rt 1, Kinards, was assisted last week in survey ing of 13.000 feet of terrace lines. Mr. Johnson had previously estab lished a sericea meadow outlet in one field for the terraces to empty. A fescue clover meadow outlet will be seeded in another field at the same-time the^ terraces are- built screening in our schools.

JAMES A PALMER, O I) ,, Presdient South Carolina Optometric Association Try Quick Lemon Prune Bread Td Make Cheese Sandwiches ByjMncy Cartar , The bread racks in modem aupermarketa are well atocked with many varieties of breada hut sometimes it is fun to stir up an easy, quick bread in your own kitchen. Such a bread is this ever-SMumple prune bread with fresh lemon added for a marvelous flavor. Because it is so easy to make, I double the recipe and make two loaves. One for now and the other to store in the freezer. It keeps very well. This bread may be used in many ways. I like it sliced rather generously and filled with softened cream cheese or mashed cottage cheese. Sometimes I toast it for breakfast or serve slices of it with a fruit salad which takes the place of dessert. The family likes it best for between-meal snacks with glasses of milk because it is not too sweet.
