Conservation
Notes
By J. B. O'DELL
Work Unit Conservationist
Good pastures and a balanced
grazing program are essential
for successful livestock farming.
G. P. Copeland, like many other
livestock farmers in the District^
is making plans now to increase' 1
his acreage of summer grazing.
Seventeen acres of land are being
prepared for Coastal Bermuda
grass. Mr. Copeland said, “I
need more summer grazing. I
had to start grazing my cows on
fescue too soon last fall due to
the shortage of summer grazing.
Therefore, my winter grazing
was used when my cows should
nave been on bermuda grass
pasture. ”

Frost Is Still Possible

Prices? Feeder Cattle brought
top prices at Greenwood and
Spartanburg last week-. Some
group units as high as 35 cents,
cattle weighing from three to
four hundred pounds sold from 30
to 34 cents. However, cattle
brought less. Most farmers were
highly pleased with the prices.
I overheard some of the buyers
from Kentucky hay that our cat
tle did well in Kentucky. One
buyer in particular, felt that
our area was well suited for cat
tle production. He felt that feed
er sales such as the one at
Greenwood gave him an oppor
tunity to buy good cattle.
Farmers selling cattle in Green
wood were: Milton Thomason,
Herman Power, A. B. Culbert
son, Raymond Robertson, Sid
ney Lee, Abner Stockman, A. A.
Ramage, and I. M. Smith.
Those selling in Spartanburg
were: Furman Ott, Thomason
Bros., G. P. Copeland, and C. C.
Herbert.

Mrs. Chaney of Maddens plant
ed her cotton last week. The hot
weather we have been having has
given a lot of people the idea
that summer is here to stay. The
chances of a frost still exist. Ac
cording to the weather bureau,
we have a 20 per cent chance of
having another frost as of Mon
day morning. Monday morning,
April 1st., our chances were 50
per cent. It will be unusual if
we get by -without a cool, wet
snap.
Farmers should wait until af
ter a rain, and plant on a settled
bed. Next week is early enough
if we do get a rain.

Capers Knight of Princeton
and Robert Harris of Youngs
have each purchased a high
clearance machine, to be used to
control cotton insects. These ma
chines are designed especially for
the job. One great advantage is
having the machine available
when needed. This machine is
designed so as to do very little
damage to cotton when it gets
large. J. T. Hollingsworth, John
Simmons, Furman and W. R.
Garett, Marcus and W. R. Cook
also have such machines.

Hance Finley of MountviUe,
has one of the top dairy herds in
the state. The records show
to be so. Out of more than 17,009
cows on DHIA, Mr. Finleys’ herd
placed Number 2, for the month
of January. White Plains placed
3rd., and Harry Ingraham placed
12th. Congratulations got* to
Hance Finley, Herman Gabbert
of White Plains, and Harry In-*
graham and Sons.

'Riding Groce Period'
Causes Lapse Of Many
JSI Insurance PoUicies
i ^
The habit of “riding the 31-day
grace period” has caused the
lapse of GI insurance policies for
many hundreds of veterans in
recent years, the Veterans Ad
ministration said today.
Too many veterans on “grace
period” time forget their final
deadlines, and eventually allow
their policies to lapse, often at a
time when their dependants need
protection the most, Laurens
County Service Officer Howard
Watkins said.
Watkins advised veterans to
make up that monthly payment
that they may be running behind,
even if they have been making
their payments each time during
the grace period.
