He plant ed the Coker 100 WR variety. Mr. Meyers received a check for $750 and Mr. Towery received a $250 check. Other farmers with Mr. De Shidds and Mr. Bryson, entering and completing the five-acre contest in Laurens county were: J. A. Mc Kee, E. F. Coggins, E. B. Coggins, Justus M. Curry and Milton Thoma son. Also E. E. Weisner, Robert Tins ley, J. W. Tinsley, C. R. Workman, Spurgeon Reeder, Jr., Leroy Blake ly, and James Eichelberger. There were 900 five-acre fields in the contest from 43 counties with 764 completed records turned in. In each of these counties ten or more contestants completing demonstra tions and submitting records quali fied these counties to reedve county prizes. The contest was conducted by the Clemson Extension Service, with the South Carolina Textile Manufactu rers Association, the South Carolina Cotton Seed Crushers Association, and the Atlantic Cotton Association donating the prize money. The contest was started in 1926, and the State Publishing Company donated $2,000 for prizes the first year. Since that time the contest has been conducted each year except 1932 and 1933; so the 1957 contest marked the 30th one. The purpose of the contest is to encourage larger yields of better quality cotton and to assist in estab lishing better practices, such as the use of good seed of improved varie ties, better cultural practices, profi table fertilization, control of insects and diseases, and harvesting and ginning practices. To Finish Testing Cattle State and Federal veterinarians are expected to finish testing cattle in Laurens county that have not been tested for brucellosis (bangs) the first part of March. It is hoped that this county will be entered as an accredited county by having all cattle tested. To those who have not had their cattle tested for bangs so far, you will be the ones who will prevent the county from becoming accredited, unless you cooperate in this final effort to test all cattle. Any person needing assistance in arranging for the veterinarian to visit his farm may notify the County Agent’s office, the local veterinarian or Randolph Davis, Clinton. The test is free and the farmer’s only re quirement is to have the cattle in a suitable enclosure and assist the vet erinarian in handling the cattle for the test. “ REENLISTS IN AIR FORCE RESERVE VUmm&ib. ■— $6 4 Carl Phillips, Joanna, Serving In Germany, Gives To Blood Bank Whiteford's Lunch Is moving to the former loca tion of Louie’s Restaurant on North Sloan Street.

ELEAZER Clemson College Information Specialist OATS TO HOGS Out Iowa way, where they really grow hogs, they say oats is an eco nomical hog feed only when you can get two bushels of it for one of com. And then it needs to be ground for hogs and make up not over 20 per cent of their fattening ration. Hogs on good grazing can use even less oats, they say. We hog down a 0ood bit of oats in our hog' growing counties. In fact they run on it as green grazing and stay there until any that is left ma tures and they continue to graze on it. Grazing like this, and keeping the hogs out on clean land, is a good practice says our Gus DuRrant. * * * • INSECTS GALORE There are 686,000 known species of insects on this earth. And, likely as not, a good many have never been identified and classified. In this country we have 82,000 of the known sorts. Those who study such things tell us insects have been on this earth 250 million years and that man has been here only a half million years. With that big start on us, no won der we can’t push 'em around much. But for Nature’s many checks and balances, insects would overrun the earth in a short time. For their rates of reproduction are prodigious. The descendants from one pair of house flies, for instance, could en tirely cover the earth in less than one summer season if nothing hap pened to any of them. Fortunately, Nature pitted one in sect against the other. Many of ’em live off of others, and others in turn feed on them. And there are the my riads of birds and animals that largely live on insects, too. But even with all Nature's pro visions for holding things in check, quite frequently we see Nature's balance broken in some way and an insect epidemic threatens a crop. Science has to be on the alert for both preventing and relieving situa tions of this sort And new situa- ! tions are ever arising. This causes {'lemson's insect and disease charts - PROGRAM - RADIO STATION WPCC to be be reviewed so the county agents, odt there on the firing line, will know what’s best to recommend in the way of controls. A NEW NAME FOR COASTAL I was down in Georgia and heard .a new namd foi^Coastal Bermuda grass. They asked me, ’’How about this Woodle grass you all are "boost ing so over there in South Caro- Kna?” ; Well, that’s not a bad name for it, for our Hugh Woodle has really lived with it for the past several years And the county agents in ev ery county I’ve talked with tell me it’s just as good as it has been pic ture^. Another man down there spoke up and said. “I thought it was Oodle grass, thinking they called it that because it made just oodles of graz ing or hay.” But, folks, it's really not "Woo- dle” nor “Oodle” grass, but Coast al Bermuda grass And it’s writing new pages in the livestock potential for the Southeast.

I don’t think anything wase more welcome to me in the Stone Hills of the Dutch Fork than the first wild plum that worm-ripened in the thicket below the barn, and the Early Harvest and Bed June apples that first showed color through the green foliage in early June Winter had been long ar.d it seem ed spring stretched out mighty far before these, its first fruits, came. W> had plenty to eat. but not such things out of season We made paths to these things, watching them grow, and yearning for the time they d be ripe All fruit was wormy then, specially that which ripened first. In fact the worm seem I'd to hasten its maturity. Folks frighten ed us about those worms, said they’d get in us and live there. We believed it and watched out. There was a saynig among us, "What’s worse than seeing a worm in an ap ple you are eating*” The answer was, “Half a worm.” The thrifty Dutchmen got and made many things from a hog. The very best of these to me was the chitterling hash we always had a few days after butchering. I’ve eat en them since fried And they are good that way, too But we never killed but one hog at a time, and that didn’t give us enough to go around except in hash They were cooked all day, until tender and ful ly done Then they were chipped up, with a feW' onions, salt, and pepper, and made into a delightful dish like creamed chicken That, over a gen erous helping of grits’ for supper, brought rosy tints to life for me.
