The real problem lies in getting

Clemson's department of Agri

considerable study to factors that
entice motorists to stop along the
highway to purchase fruits and
vegetables.
For the most part, customers

Richland County's Emergency
Planning Committee may be the
first to develop a master plan
to go into operation in event of
serious emergency.
Primary purpose of the plan,
according to R. W. (Bob) Bailey,
is to protect people, livestock and
property.

“Where heptachlor was applied
correctly last fall, we have little
if any weevil infestation in old
alfalfa fields. New plantings of*
alfalfa have heavy infestations,
however. We need more study on
controlling the weevil in new
plantings."
M. L. Outz, Laurens County
agent, said that heptachlor disk-|
ed into the soil was apparently I
not sufficient to kill the pest

“There is increased interest in
soybean production in this coun
ty,” Newberry County agent A 1
L. Busby, told me.
Such interest in soybeans
seems to be general throughout
the state, according to reports
I’ve heard and seen.
Soybeans ranked fourth in im-l
portance in crops in South Caro
lina last year.
