Pasture programs should be balanced between bermuda and fescue. One big reason that fes cue doesn’t hold out and the win ter months are so long is that there Just isn’t enough bermuda grass. Bermuda should carry good cows oh after frost in the fall of the year. So often we find cattle grazing fescue In Septem ber. I remember “Chief” L. V. Starkey, former bead of the Ani mal Husbandry Department, ad vising to have a surplus of ber muda to put cattle on Just before frost. The cattle would main tain themselves on into the cold season for quite awhile and then after they begin to lose weight, give them 1 to 3 lbs. of cotton seed meal and they will continue to eat frost bitten bermuda. This system should carry cattle close to Christinas. Then turn cattle on fescue. This system might be cheaper than trying to harvest so much hay. What would be a practical livestock program to include beef cattle, bogs nnd sheep for Laur ens County youth? Gus Ramage, Hopewell community, President of our Livestock Committee, Is calling a meeting to help solve this Important question. Other members of tbs Committee are Jim Addison, Paul Owings, R. L. Wickham, N. B. Senn, G. P. Copeland, C. W. Anderson, Mil- ton Thomason, and Raymond Robertson. The group will meet at the Agricultural Building in Laurens April 5th at 8:00 p.m. 4-H local leaders are also con sidering methods of improving our 4-H program in general. Japk O. Sullivan, Ware Shoals, has purchased the H. S. Simmons dairy herd. Jack is planning to increase his milking herd to fifty cows. He is remodeling the old home. Jack is planning an all out roughage program for hie dairy herd and is interested in H. I. A., the only sure method of feeding and culling a herd. Janies Cannady, Charles Hur ley, S. A. Crowder, and H. S. Crowder, all of near Gray Court, have their tobacco beds sown and- up to a good stand. Six acres of tobacco will be grown in this one community. Soybeans are expected to add gread deal'to Laurens County income during 1961. This crop can be carried all the way with ntephlnery. The varieties for early planting are Jackson and CNS 4, for late planting, Yelnan- da and JEW 45. Soybeans plant ed in May give best results.

C. Oc-M-33 IF YOU DOMT BEAD TOO DONT GET THE HEWB By Treete Davis Seeing Clinton High standing as usual last Monday, I realized that we seniors aren’t indespensible. We have had a wonderful week of fun and educational tours Each time we visited a different place we were sure it was more beautiful than any of the others we had seen. The National Art Gallery, in my opinion, was one of the loveliest {daces I saw. The center room of this gallery was circular with a huge fountain in the middle. The room also had large black marble columns in it. The Art Gallery was part of the Smithsonian Institute. At the Smithsonian Institute the class divided up so that each per son could visit the buildings that were most interesting to him About the first thing the seniors did on the trip was to buy Con federate bats. These bats w worn during the entire trip to show that the South’s gonna rise agin! The morning we visited the Washington monument was quite a morning On the way to the monument we eenlors discussed whether or not to climb up it, down it, or both. Most of us, In cluding myself, were content to walk down it. A good many of the seniors walked from the bot tom to the top. Surprisingly en ough, some brave ole seniors walked both ways. I’ll bet they were sorry, too. My tegs wobbled from Just walking down those 896 steps. (I think that’s how many there were.) , Friday morning was the mor ning we could go shopping. I’m teling you I had the scare of my life, too. I very innocently went Into a bakery to get some sweets to eat on the train going home. There were some clerks behind the counter yelling out numbers Well, I soon caught on and pick ed up a number. When one of the clerks called mine I jumped a mile, finally recovered myself, and tried to tell her what I wanted to buy. She rushed me so I just bought her precious food so could get out of that frightful place. Today that food is long gone, but I’ll never forget my ex perience in the bakery. In some of the stores I visited I noticed how eager the clerks were to sell me things. I mention ed thst I thought a certain brace let was pretty, and the clerk ask ed me if I wanted it in a box. told him just to hold his horses. I didn’t want that bracelet, I Just thought it was pretty. The weather was nice and brisk most of the time, but one morning as we left the hotel it was raining One of the senior boys said, “It sure Is raining!’’ Then I heard one of the men In the hotel say, “Tell that boy that isn’t rain, it’s Just D. C. Dew!" The trip was a great one! 1 Just hope we didn’t worry Mr. R. P Wilder, Mrs. Fred S. Pitts, Mrs Shirley Timmons, and Mr. R. E Martin too much. Last Monday Miss Shirley Mil ter and Mrs. Cynthia Boland an nounced those who will be in the ■snior play April 36. They will start practicing this coming Tueo- day.
