TIIK WTARCTIC TREATY r
On<' of tht' least publicized, but,
most important, mailers now pend-1
mg in the Senate is the propos'd
treaty on the Antarctic/. This treaty
proposed by the United States, was
sipned in Washington on‘December
1. ii»S9. by the U S . Great Gritain.
Russia and nine other countries It
is now binding on our country or
any other and cannot have the force
and effect of a treaty until it is
ratified by the Senate.
The treaty provides that the Anti-
.irotic shall be uhed for peaceful
purposes only: calls for freedom
of scientific investigation; bans
military bases and nuclear tests in
the area, with the right of unilateral
inspections freezes claims and
rights of sovereignty at their pies
ent status, without any provision for
the recognition of claims of one con
tra-ting party by the others; and
rult - out any new claim or enlarge
ment of an existing claim for the
30-year period of the treaty
From a superficial appraisal, the
treaty may sound innocent enough
Under careful analysis, i; is at best
a tool of appeasement, at worst, an
unconditional surrender
The Antarctic is a vast area—as
large as the United States and Eu
rope combined It has untold min
eral resources that will some day
be tapped It iT -traTPpcaih locat
ed within easy reach of the three
continents. Australia. . Africa and
South America
By all the standards that com
monly apply. the United States has
the superior basis for claims to the
better part of the .Antarctic Conti
nent Probably the first man ever to
see the Antarctic Continent was an
American mating captain. Nathan
iel Brown Palmer, around 1890 In
1839. a U S Naval officer. Captain
Charles Wilkes, first proved the ex
istencc of Antarctica by sailing
thousands of miles along as coast,
and making coastal drawings as
he wont Although Captain Wilkes'j
reports and drawings were ridicul
ed at the time, and Captain Wilkes
himself was court martialed upon
his return, recent explorations have
conclusively proved his drawings
correct Essentially, however, the
explorations of the Antarctic stem
from the efforts of the great Ameri
can—Admiral Richard E Byrd. He
was responsible for the exploration
of more than one million square
miles of the Antractic Continent.
It was his example that inspired
other Americans, such as Lincoln
Ellsworth and Captain Finn Ronne,'
to continue his exploratory wxirk
For some unknown reason, the
United States has never asserted
any Antaraic claim The proposed
treaty would renounce the right to
assert our claims for 30 \ears, as
suring that they could never be rec
ognized. for it is an historical fact
that such claims grow increasingly
more feeble w ith age
Russia, prior to last year, had no
basis for claims in Antartica what-,
soever; and if any now exist be- 1
cause of the Soviet Union's activities
there during the International Geo
physical Year, they are slight incon
sequence
The Soviet Union is greedily an
ticipating the ratification of the
treaty by the Senate, for it is an all-
to gain, nothing-to-loso matter for
them None of Russia's satelliates
are panics to the treaty, so Rus
sia is free to do through them what
the treaty would prohibit Russia
in her own name. The Soviets' rec
ord of breaking 50 of 52 major'
treaties since Work! War II would
be sufficient ground to avoid such a |
treaty, even were the treaty to call j
for the relinquishment of something |
of value by the Communists. As it
is. it will be a tragedy for the Unit
ed States to consent to such a give-'
away.
most important oi the crops grown
in the county. They can be made
profitable whim grown and used as
they should be. Small grains have i
more important uses than other
crops, for they supply tl) grain,
(2) grazing. (3) winter cover, (4)
hay, and i5) silage It is important
that we have more and better small
grains to support our growing live
stock production.
So talk to your neighbor Spread
the word For the benefit of Laurens
County, plant only good seed of rec
ommended varieties, and follow
through by having your soil tested
and using recommended amounts of
lime and fertilizer Let’s get more
profits from our small grains this
year.

Each of the above farmers receiv
ed technical help from the Soil Con
servation Service in the layout and
construction of their ponds and have
applied for cost-sharing payments)
through the Agricultural Conserva
tion Program. All ponds were quali
fied for this assistance in that a wa
ter supply was necessary in order to
manage pastures through proper
distribution of livestock and rota
tion grazing.
Hie SoB Conservation Service will
furnish ail necessary surveys at no
cost to the farmer in laying out this
system of terracing. Farmers can
get cost-sharing payments for build
ing terraces through the local ACP
office. This payment is 90 cents per
100 linear feet of terrace construct
ed The total cost is $1.20 per 100
feet, or cost-sharing help is 75 per
cent of the total cost. If you plan
to have terracing work done on
your farm, it will be well for you
to consider the ACP cost-sharing
help available for this practice.
Coastal Bermuda grass stands
dry weather better than most crops*
I have had the chance during the
recent dry spell to observe several
fields of Coastal Bermuda. Com
pared to other grasses nearby it
was standing the drought much
better. In fact coastal was about
the only green plant around. Our
heavier clay soils make it more dif
ficult to establish than in some
areas, but once established it is
hard to beat. If you don’t already
have some, don't let another year
go by without at least establishing
a nursery patch.
A group of interested farmers and
business people are making a one -
day tour of the state to see Coastal
Bermuda The group will visit both
dairy and beef cattle farms and
hear the owners of the farms dis
cuss this grass sod its value The
Unit is planned for August 10. leav

-As ye sow. so shall ye reap ”
The-e words of truth apply to all of
us and to many things, but at this
time of year should be remembered
by every farmer in Laurens County
Recent surveys in all areas of the
state have shown that many of our
farmers are planting seed of oats,
wheat, rye and barley that cannot
produce profitable yields The crop
can be no better than the seed that
are planted. Only low and unprofi

When you are eight years old, it is not
difficult to transform yourself suddenly into
an Indian scout and to see a procession of
chiefs, with their brightly colored feathered
headdresses, galloping across the horizon
astride magnificent stallions.
Children are fired with imagination, just
as they are filled with faith.' The faith of a
child is Something so simple and so beautiful
that many an adult, viewing it, finds himself
crying ,a little, deep down inside, for his own
lost childhood and the touching innocence that
was once his.
Yet before God, all men are children. His
children, and Faith is there to be accepted,
if men will but take it as a gift. The Church
has the answer, showing you how to live like
a man, while still possessing the heart of a
child . . . helping you to get the very most
out of life. If you haven’t been to church
lately . . . why not go this Sunday?
