THE CLINTON CHRONICLE 8. C n Thursday, Nsvsaubsr 14 1HI Highlights From Clinton High There’s bee^nany a happy Red Devil wanolring through the hails of CHS Eiis week; and, I Imagine, many a sad Tiger at Laurens High. Yes. we mighty Red Devils really “put the prongs to the kittens,” as co-captain Phil Rog ers put it at last Friday’* pep meeting. Amid the burning of devils and tigers, both teams fought hard to give the Mighty Red their decisive 20-0 victory. Of all football games the Dev ils play, this one with Laurens i* the one aU CHS’ers most want to win. It is the one at which that Red Devil spirit is greatest demonstrated, and it is the one about which one often hears: “Just let us win this one—even if we don’t beat anyone else!” This victory was sweet for all CHS’ers, especially for the boys in red and white who earned it. Though unable to be on the Held, J. W. Davis, who is immobilized by a broken leg which he suffer ed in practice, was at the game rooting harder than any other Red Devil fan for his team mates. It was good to see J. W. out, and all we CHS’ers hope that his leg will soon mend and allow him to return to CHS. • * * Monday the Transportation Club held its monthly meeting. Their guest speaker, Mr. Hutch- enson, of the State Educational Finance Commission, spoke to the bus drivers on safety and its importance to the school as well as to the students who ride the buses • • • Tuesday the Sentinel staff dis tributed its third issue.

As a senior Mary Ellen has been kept busy as vice- president of the senior class, secretary of the Student Council, and Activities Editor of the Clin tonian. • * * Last month all seniors wrote class themes on the subject, “Youth—the Safeguard of Ameri ca’s Freedom.” From these themes senior English teachers, Miss Frances Sheely and Mrs. Lewis Walla c e, chose twelve outstanding ones.

CIRCLE TO MEET The Bertha Smith circle will meet at the home of Mrs. W. T. Scogin Thursday (tonight) at 7:30. DHIA family. These fellows have one of the best herds in the area. I am sure this program will give them an accurate method of culling and selecting their future herd. • • • Fires! Forest Fires! Homes burned! the situation is explos ive. Everyone should be careful • • • Weeds, Weeds! In the spring farmers fonder where they came from. The truth Is, sometimes or other they were , most likely sown (in grain that looked clean). If it Uh’t worth doing right, it shouldn’t be done at all. Small grain should be cleaned and tested for germination and noxious weeds. Let’s sow clean seed and next spring spray to kill those that are already pres ent. How can a farmer afford such luxury as feeding millions of weeds * * * At this time of year, the boll weevil makes plans for another year. He is increasing his fam ily and fattening up for his win ter sleep. When spring arrives, you wonder where so many came News Of Bonds Cross Roads MRS. N. A. SHOUSE Correspondent from. Destroying cotton stalks as soon as picking is dons willl send him into winter in a starved stop this family build-up and condiiton. He may not survive. This is cheaper than insecti cides. Rye seems to be on the way back as a grazing crop. I sup pose the main reasons are that it will stand more cold weather than any other small grain and it grows as fast oy faster than any. Rye seed is scarce. It seems that very few plant for seed pur poses. I was visiting with Stew art Brown of Hopewell last week. Stewart has a field of common bermuda knee high reserved for beef cattle. His cattle will be put on the bermuda this week. In spite of the frost the grass is green underneath. Beef cattle will do well on this grass as long as it holds out. As frost and freezes get heavier, one pound of cotton seed meal will supplement the grass and keep cattle in good shape. I have felt through^ the years that to have fescue; we have also got to have plenty of bermuda. Bermuda will do more for winter grazing than anything Ms*. Too many farmers are trying to us* fescue as a year-round pasture. It won’t hold up and it costs too much. * * * Chester Aiken called and stated that Carolina Milling Co. has the facilities to handle soybeans. Storage facilities have been en- largde. Mr. Aiken stated that prices for beans would be com petitive with other markets in the area. Actually, this should serve as an asset to Laurens County, since combines often are stopped in the field while trucks are on their way to market. • • • Carl Ackerman, livestock spe cialist, Clemson, has asked how many farmers in Lauren* County are interested in a feeder pig sale? Carl seems to feel that there are enough pigs ot have a sale. He says there is a demand from farmers who feed out a large number of hogs. Anyone interested in a feeder pig sale should call my office. : • ♦ ♦ • Lawson Bros, will hold their annual beef cattle sale January 29th, according to Ryan.

James said, ‘Then has never bean anything that has helped me as much as this testing program.” Bob Wickham sitting nearby agreed 100 per cent with James. Hano* Finley at the same time stated, ’Every dairy in Laurens Coun ty should be on the test.” Eleven herds are on test hi the county. The average pro duction of these herds in 1982 was 9400. The 1963 average was 10,627 pounds. The average went up more than a thousand pounds. Every herd on test in creased production. A man can do more dairying with his DHIA reports than he can with any tractor on the farm. He can study when relax ed. .1 believe it will keep in business. « • » tfThe rat problem is serious. From now until spring, they will feed off stored grain and other farm products. Proiin is the new rat bait said to be very good at killing the rat. In fact, there are many good baits on the market if we could get them used. One important factor in rid ding the premises of rats is to clean up the barn and crib or any place where rat food is stored. If this is done, the rat is likely to take to the bait. At any rate we, should set out to stop this pest before too much damage is done. 4 4 4 Make mulch pile. It will come in handy next summer to mulch tomatoes, shrubs, and to mulch the garden. A layer of leaves, then some fertilizer and soil, and then start over. Keep the mulch pile damp. By next spring, your mulch prob lems will be solved. Don’t burn the leaves. 4 4 4 Farm fires amounted to loss es of 175 million dollars in 1962. TUs figure continues to go up. About two out of every 100 farms are hit each year. 4 4 4 The state’s pecan crop is es timated at about nine million pounds. 4 4 4 Boyd and Gene Stoddard of Owlngs, are newcomers to our ■LYNN COOPER'S USED CAR LOT IN ORDER THAT WE MAY BETTER SERVE YOU, OUR CUSTOMERS, WE HAVE OPENED A NEW USED CAR LOT ADJOINING OUR PRESENT LOCATION. * ___ Stop..
