HAMILTON Clemoon College Extension Information Specialist GRAY COURT-OWINGS GROUP Students Visit, Study Duncan Creek Project Vocational Agriculture s t u - dents a t Clinton and Gray Court-Ownings high school re cently studied soil conservation measures near their respective schools. The overall Duncan Creek Wa tershed plan was discussed with the ninth grade agriculture stu dents at Clinton high by B. R. Abercrombie, of the Soil Con servation Service. This plan includes floodwater retarding structures, channel improvement, critical area sta bilization, along with other con servation practices such as ter races, crop rotations, strip crop ping, and grass planting. The class, along with Avery Smith, Agriculture teacher, ob served pines being planted un der the watershed program for erosion control on severely washed school property. They were shown how the pines, along with brush and earth check dams, will hold soil in place. Gray Court-Owings class with S. C. Gambrell, teacher, observ- ated pines being planted with the Laurens County Soil Con servation''District tree planters. J. B. O’Dell, of the Soil Con servation Service, discussed the planting procedures with the class. 451,000 tree seedlings have been planted on private and Whitten Village lands in the Laurens County district during the past planting season These trees, O’Dell pointed out, will conserve soil and water as well as increase the woodland in come of Laurens County in fu ture years. If city people are nonplused by current farmer enthusiasm for their old crop; cotton, it’s under standable. Farmers themselves are undergoing a change of opin ion. It’s been a good many years since the lint crop has been held in such high regard on South Carolina farms. And I under stand this is the rule through out much of the Southeast. Wallace H. Privette, the Dar lington County farmer who last week won the 1962 Five-Acre Cotton Contest with an average yield of 3.4 bales per acre, told me of his own change of mind about cotton. “For the last year or two, I’d given up cotton completely. I simply wasn’t making any mon ey. My sharecroppers were in the same boat. “But C. G. Newton, our asso ciate county agent at Darlington, suggested planting the crop again —using the Improved technology developed during the last few years,” Privette asid. Partly to satisfy his own curiosity, and partly to get New ton off his back, Privette con sented to give cotton another trial on a small 5-acre field, and to enter the 1962 cotton contest. The rest is history. Privette In vested a great deal more money, time, and planning than with previous crops. But the invest ment paid off nicely. Balance sheet entries were in black with more than $300 per acre net. “I found you could make mon ey growing cotton. Kin starting back against this year with 65 to 75 acres." Privette’s about-face is not an isloated instance. O. W. Warr, Lamar, says most cotton farm ers in his area have been making a new estimate of cotton. “The new approach to cotton farming requires several changes. These changes are so different it’s almost like growing a new crop,” Warr says. Among these are more eff«?- tive poisoning programs, use of chemicals to control weeds, and use of mechanical pickers. But Warr gives the legislation which penfifts realloaction of cotton acreage within the state and counties as a big help. Cotton growers hope to main tain the state’s cotton history of acreage. This is the only way they can use the new technology for maximum benefit to them selves and the state. Both farm ers and city people stand to gain, they feel, by increasing the value of the crop. The increase in value last year, for instance, was 6 million dollars, with a farm value of 84 million. Changing farmer opinion could conceivably—and within a short time—make cotton again king of South Carolina crops. A few years ago it lo6t this title to tobacco. W. C. Nettles, Clemson, a member of Clemson’s Extension Cotton Committee, said at Dar lington last week that farmers were psychologically ready for a leap forward in cotton produc tion. “We’ve doubled yields on al most all crops except cotton. The intense interest we’retf now see- UfP« ROOM NASMVail. TfNMSSff THE WORLDS MOST WIDELY USED DEVOTIONAL GUIDE Weep not; she is not dead, but sleepeth. (Luke 8:52) Charmain was eleven years old. She was In a hospital. The doctors had performed an operation, but there was nothing that they could do to save her life. Everything humanly possible had been done. Now we could only commit her into the loving hands of Jesus, the Friend of Children. \ Every day I visited Charmain. Early one morning I was at her bedside when she awoke. She began at once to say the Lord’s Pray er. She sang her favorite Sunday school hymn, “Jesus Wants Me for a Sunbeam.” To be in her presence was an inspiration to deeper faith and love. _ A / , As we remember Charmain, we think of the gracious words of our Saviour, “The maid is not dead, but sleepeth.” Jesus Christ caUed her to Himself. He has a place and a purpose for her in His heavenly kingdom. Y 'We have the sure and certain hope of the Christian as ex pressed by the Apostle Paul: “Now hath Christ been raised from the dead, the first fruits of them that are asleep.” PRAYER O Saviour Christ, Thou are the resurrection »n* the life. Whosoever believeth In Thee shall Uve though he die. Grant us grace to live in this world, that in the world to come we may have life everlasting. In Thy holy name we pray. Amen. ing, in my opinion, will be re flected in increased returns. “Raising average per acre yields 1/4 bale per acre over last year, at present prices, would bring cotton up to par with to bacco. We think it is possible.” The tobacco crop, by the way, has been valued at about 100 million annually. Cotton may be there in the near future. — CREDITORS’ NOTICE All persons having claims against the estate of Tillman Wil liams, deceased, are hereby noti fied to file the same, duly veri- fiel, with the undersigned, and those indebted to said estate will please make payment likewise.
