ation of watershed conservation
districts in Laurens County was
introduced Tuesday in the Gen
eral Assembly.
The proposed legislation, spon
sored by Laurens County Senator
King Dixon, would authorize
such districts for the purpose of
"developing and executing plans
and programs relating to any
phase of the control and preven
tion of soil erosion, flood preven
tion, or the conservation, devel
opment, utilization and disposal
of water."
A petition by 25 or more land-
owners within the district, ap
proval by the Laurens Soil Con
servation District, and a favor
able vote by landowners to be af
fected would be required prior to |
setting up the district i
The district's governing body
would consist of five directors!
elected by landowners within the
district. They would have the |
power to buy land, construct im
provement works, borrow mon
ey, and authorize an annual tax
on the real property within the
district not to exceed five mills.
They would also be empowered
to issue bonds subject to the ap
proval of-two-thirds of those to be
affected and the soil conserva
tion district.
The bill, introduced in the Sen
ate by Diwm, wM »aid to ba fa-
vored by all three of the county’s
House members.

will aUo give the producer a
more uniform calf crop which is
desirable when the calves reach
market age.
Research work has proven
that winter calves gain faster
and are of better type than turn-
pro
gram should be planned to pro
duce the type product the buyer
gtmands. Buyers prefer calves
of uniform age, weight and type
and will pay mom for such
calves.
Castrate and dehorn your
calves at an early age. This Is
a wise procedure whether you
plan to sell your calves through
a feeder-calf sgle or on the farm.
It will mean more dollars in the
producer! pocket.
Every beef producer should
have some coastal bermuda for
summer pasture. Too many cat
tlemen am forced to graze fescue
during the summer and
themselves on the short end of
a feed supply during winter and
early spring. Now Is the time to
make plans for putting out
coastal. Call S21 for assistance
in locating sprigs.

Mr. Farmer, to incmase farm
profits in 1961, make maximum
use of all the resources at "our
command — land, water, labor,
money, credit, and other re
sources, but make adjustments to
fit new conditions. Keep a good
set of records. They’ll help you
pin-point weaknesses in your to
tal farm program. Records are
also useful for income tax and so
cial security purposes. Make a
definite farm plan and foUow it.
Put more business in the man
agement of your finances, includ
ing taxes—shop around for best
buys and do not overlook the pos
sibilities in purchasing good used
machines. Cut farming costs.
Fertilize according to recommen
dations, based on soil tests. Use
good seed, plant crops on adapted
lands, control insects and dis
eases, cultivate properly, and do
the other things necessary to in
crease yields of high quality
products. Cull low producers and
breed for high production in the
dariy, beef cattle, hog, and sheep
herds and in the laying flocks.
Follow good sanitation, manage
ment, and efficient feed practices
and recommend measures to con
trol diseases to improve quality
products. Cut food costs—pro
duce vegetables, meats, milk, and
eggs for good diets. Study mar
needs—market high quality prod
ucts in an orderly manner at the
time and in the volume desired.
Take advantage of the opportuni
ties offered under the various
government programs, such, as
social security, federal crop in
surance, Public Law 86-172—to
preserve cotton acreage history
and allotments—and other pro
grams.
The pulp mills pay between 35
and 40 million dollars each year
for pulpwood in South Carolina.
Most of the moeny is spent in ru
ral areas of the state. It provides
income to thousands of rural peo
ple. Landowners, both small .and-
large, can start and maintain
profitable woodland management
programs. I am sorry to say that
a large number of farmers in our
county are not getting the maxi
mum return from their forests.
Landowners may either sell their
pulpwood on the stump or cut,
haul and load it on railroad cars,
or they may deliver their wood
to wood yards in cooper’ation
with pulpwood dealers.
In thinning forest stand, thin
pine stand when live crowns occu
py less than 40% of total height
of trees. If you have planted
stand with good survival, usual
ly thin the stand when trees are
12 to 16 years old. In thinning,
take out the crooked, forked, dis
eased, and suppressed trees. As
you mark the stand, keep in mind
that the better remaining trees
should have 2 to 3 feet .of space
between branch tips. Protect the
trees that are left because they’re
the ones that will produce your
future forest income. Divide your
woodland into 6 or 8 blocks and
thin a block a year. Proper thin
ning can greatly increase your
timber profits. The following
points are offered to landowners
who have pine stands that they
plan to Improve by a pulpwood
thinning. Ask your county agent
or a forester to check your stand
for a thinning operation. Talk
with a dealer before cutting.
Pulpwood is shipped to the mills
through dealers who have fixed
volumes to cut and ship each
week. Make arrangements to
have your timber marked. Cut
only marked trees. Sell by written
contract. Get a sample copy of it
from your county agent or a for
ester. Never be in a hurry to sell
young fast-growing timber. Its
value increases greatly each
year. Cut your pulpwood to meet
industry requirements: fa) Wood
should be green, sound
from burned anas, (b)
should be 4 indies or over at
small end. (c) Wood should be
sawed to specified length, (d)
Branches should be free of nails,
wires and other metals. Winter
time is an ideal time for farmers
to take stock of their forests and
see if they are getting the highest
returns possible from their for
ests.
Plan your breeding program.
Good beef bulls are hard to find.
Proper management will help the
Serf breeder to get more use of
his bulls and be able to keep
good bulls longer. The secret is
to remove the bulls from the
herd after your breeding season.
Too many beef producers have
bulls with herd the year round.
Divide your cows into twenty-
five or thirty head groups. Put
chains with numbers on the
cows so that you may keep
good records. By knowing which
bull sired which calf, the pro
ducer will be able to refrain
from close breeding, which is
{tangerous. Just as important,
their bulls will enable a breeder
to continue his program several
years before another bull is re
quired. By removing the bull
from the tad after the breeding
season of two to three months,
there will be no danger of heifer
