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-

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.
