Although at this writing Sep
tember is almost gone, but there
la time left to do the following
things if you have not already
done so.
VEGETABLE INFORMATION
In this section of the Piedmont
it is time to plant your turnip
patch. Some of us prefer to
broadcast the seed, and others
prefer planting in the row. Plant
ing in rows is preferred to fa
cilitate cultivation and to pre
vent damage while harvesting.
When using varieties for both
turnips and greens use purple
top, white globe, and shogoin,
and for greens use only seven-
top. Avoid planting too thick if
turnips are desired. One-fourth
of'an ounce is sufficient to plant
a 100-foot row. Rotate the turnip
patch each year to prevent in
sects and diseases.
It is not too late to set out
collards and onions. Best varie
ties of collards are Georgia,
Morris heading and Vates.
In onions you may use these
varieties: Granex, Texas, early
grand and green bunching. For
insect control, plant lice and aph
ids on collards use a 4 per cent
malthion dust or spray, re-peat
each week if needed.
FRUIT INFORMATION
Strawberries—This is the time
of year to fertilize your straw-
berries if you have not done so.
Apply an 8-68- fertilizer rate of
400 pounds per acre, or 2%-3 lbs.
per 100 foot row. After fertilizing
brush the leaves to remove any
fertilizer left.
This is also the time of year to
look into your fig production.
Quite often fruit of fig trees will
not mature. If enlargement of the
root system is found use nema-
gon next spring, or select a root
knot free area and plant new fig
plants this winter.
Some varieties of trees are ce
leste and brown turkey. When
fertilizing trees broadcast at the
rate of one to four pounds the
size of the tree.

Something new will be added
to the Laurens County Fair this
year. It’s a horse show. H. L.
Eason, Assistant County Agent,
and Leonard Crotts, leader of the
club, have been working to get
up the show. We hope to make
horses a part of the fair from this
year on. Brock Coggins, dairy
fanner, peach grower, cotton
farmer, and civic leader is pres
ident of the fair association.—r
Byron Brown says he has cut
and stored 14,000 bales of alfalfa
hay this year. Mr. Brown says
he has tried all and alfalfa is the
best. We asked him about the ex
pense of growing this crop and
he says nitrogen is needed, only
about 800 pounds of 0-12-12 each
year. He feels it’s cheaper than
most any crop, cutting from 3 to
4 tons per acre each year.
The alfalfa weevil is usually
the only insect the producers
have to worry about. This pest
can be controlled if recommend
ations are followed.
300 calves at the sales this year.
Those selling through the sales
are listed below: Max Hunter,
Paul Owings, J. D. Hunter, Fur

ford, CaroUna Milling Co., C. W.
Anderson, Dr. Orr, G. P. Cope

Why don’t farmers take ad-
vantake of the cotton classifica
tion service? This service is
strictly to help farmers get a
better price for their cotton. The
service is free. AU ginners are
supplied with the necessary ma
terials to get the job don.
I’m sure it is to the ginner’s
advantage to get his customers
every dime the cotton is worth.

the sale. Congratulations! Mr.
Mahon.

Peaches—Be sure to check for
borers this month because they
can damage the home orchard
by spring.
ORNAMENTALS
Lawns—Should be watered at
least once a week during dry
weather. A soaking is preferred
over the daily sprinkling. The
lawn may be re-seeded now for
the fall and winter to permit
the grass to become firmly es
tablished before freezing weath
er. Adequate moisture should be
provided constantly during the
period of establishment.
Some varieties which can be
seeded now are tall fescue,
creeping fescue, and Italian rye
grass.
Most of these grasses can be
sown at the rate of 4 or 5 pounds
per 1,000 square feet.
Painting the lawn by use of
grass paints applied in the fall
on dormant summer grasses,
such as Bermuda, Centipede and
Zoysa has caused considerable
interest. Such paint can be se
cured from several commercial
sources.
Before applying the paint, the
lawn should be mowed and then
raked to remoxe excess grass
and debris. Dilute the paint with
water at the rate of one gallon
to six gallons of water for about
1,500 square feet of lawn, and
spray. A drying period of 2 hours
is required. Color retention is
good during the winter period.
Pansy plants can be trans
planted to beds or borders this
month and in October. They also
can be seeded now. For cultiva
tion of the beds use application
of a 6-12-12 or 5-10-10 fertilizer
at the rate of 3 pounds per 100
square feet mixed with the soil.
Some flower bulbs should be
stored this month and early in
October. Examples are: gladi
oli, dahlias, tuberoses, begonias,
and caladium.
Too much pruning of shrubs is
not advisable at this time. How
ever, a limited amount may be
done. Now is an excellent time
for soil testing. You may secure
containers from your agriculture
etacher or county agent for mail
ing to Clemson.

’#4 Chevrolet Impala Sport Sedan—one of IS Jet-emooth luxury Cketroleis.
Chevrolet was luxurious before, but you too. Even the lowest priced Biscaynes have ride with Full Coil suspension. Flush-and-dry
should see it now. With smart new styling, new foam-cushioned seats front and rear and rocker panels, Delcotron generator, self-
the '64 Chevrolet looks even longer (but are fully carpeted.) Of course, you expect adjusting brakes and other low-upkeep fea-
isn’t). There’s even a whole new series this more than just luxury from Chevrolet. A tures. If you’ve ever wondered how luxurious
year—the Impala Super Sports—with front choice of 16 power teams, for instance—a 6 Chevrolet could get—with all the extra-cost
bucket seats as standard equipment. (The and six V8’s up to 425 hp (optional at extra options there are to choose from—that seems
new Impalas and Bel Airs are more luxurious, cost). And quieter transmissions. Jet-smooth to be entirely up to you.

New Chevelle Malibu Super Sport Coupe—one of 11 models t» three great series..
You've never seen anything like this totally new
fine ot can before. Chevelle is new in everything but
Chevrolet quality. Chevelle is a good foot shorter
than the big can, so it parks easily. Yet the interior
dimensions of its Body by Fisher provide a generous
amount of head, leg and shoulder room. (Chevelle’s
trunk is big and roomy, too.) The ride is sur
prisingly smooth with a rugged coil spring at all
four wheels. And not so surprisingly for Chevrolet,
the new Chevelle offers a choice of engines ranging
from an economical 120-hp 6 to a 220-hp V8
(optional at extra cost.) Choose the Chevelle you
like best from the three series—the Malibu Super
Sport, the Malibu and the 300 Series, eleven models
in all—at your Chevrolet dealer's. (Like this good-
looking Malibu Super Sport, maybe?)
