THE CLINTON CHRONICLE
By M. L. OUTZ, Goaty Agtmt
The first generation of weevils
should be coining through by
now. This will occur in old cot
ton of course. I examined quite
a number of squares last week
that had grubs that should be
put out about now.
One of the worst enemies of
cotton is the spider mite. I’ve
found a number of fields with
this pest, and they are out fairly
strong. I suggest each farmer
check his fields and if they are
found, take the necessary meas
ures to control them. As for the
boll weevil, farmers should not
let up until the present infesta
tion is brought under control. Hie
last few days- of last week the
weather was good. I hope cotton
producers took advantage of it.

The corn crop looks good. Sev
eral dairymen have corn equal
to that of the Mid-West.

I had the privilege of taking
the Agri-business Tour laA week
with the South Carolina Bankers
Association sponsoring the tour.
The tour started in Richland
County where we saw one of the
most modern poultry operations
in the country, sixty thousand
hens. The owner, Mr. Moore,
sold wholesale to one of the
chain stores. He had installed a
feed grinding mill at a cost of
$37,000. The tour moved into
Chesterfield where we found
good land," Ott said.
This is the first tile system in
stalled in the county with techni
cal assistance from be Soil Con
servation Service and cost shar
ing help from the Agricultural
Conservation Program. Ott used
his own equipment and labor in
doing the job. .1,200 feet of 0-inch
tile was installed. More farmers
in the county need to consider
this method of draining wet .areas
of cropland and pasture land.

Bead Romans 7:18 through 8:2
In Christ Jesus the Ufo-giving law of the Spirit has
set yon free from the law of sin and death. (Romans
8:2, NEB)
Paul had been brought up in a strict religious atmosphere
as a young man he was unhappy in his spiritual life.- No mat
ter how hard he tried to keep the Law he felt himself a
prisoner of sin.
" . Then, in a dazzling experience on the road to Damascus,
he'mot Jesus! His whole outlook was changed. He came to
see that the living Christ could set him free from "the law of
sin and death.”
John Wesley was probably thinking of Paul’s words when
he wrote about his heart-warming experience. He said, "An
assurance was given that he (Christ) had taken away my
sins, even mine, and saved me from be law of tin and
death.” Freed from, his doubts antf'fears, he set out on his
effective work winning others to Christ. ■
Our personal spiritual experience may be less dramatic.
But through dedication and worship, meditation and Bible
study we, too, will find” ourselves freed by Christ for service
to him.
PRAYEB
Almighty God, we praise Thee for sending Thy Ben
Christ to free us from bondage to sin. May we hence
forth follow His example and live not for ourselves
but for others. In His name. Amen
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
"If then the Son sets you free, you will indeed be free.”

turkeys a very important farm
enterprise. I would like to see
more turkeys grown in Laurens
County. We can certainly grow
these as cheap as any other area.
An interesting stop was made
in Oconee, where we were
shown a rapidly expanding apple
industry.
We also visited Greenwood
Packing Company. It is surpris
ing how much business that
small plant does during one year.
The plant handles 51 million lbs.
of meat annually. Laurens Coun
ty supplies a great deal of that
total.
My expense was paid by the
Palmetto Bank of Laurens, and
I would like to express my sin
cere thanks to the bank for al
lowing me this privilege.

Notes
By J. B. O’DELL
Work Unit Conservationist
Progress is being made on the
Duncan Creek Watershed Pro
ject. A project agreement be
tween the Watershed District
and the Soil Conservation Serv
ice was completed this week for
stream channel improvement
improvement work on Sand
Creek, according to C. D. Wal-
drep, chairman of the Watershed
Directors. Notice to prospective
bidders on the job wiU be mailed
early in July. The project will
consist of clearing, stumping and
snagging of 7890 feet of channel,
starting below SC Highway No.
72 and extending to Duncan
Creek, Waldrep said.
The watershed directors have
also secured all easements, per
mits and rights-of-way for the
construction of the floodwater re
tarding structure on Beards
Fork Creek, along with 5,000
feet of stream channel improve
ment below the dam down to
the junction of Duncan Creek.
This work is scheduled to begin
in September.
The land treatment measures,
the backbone of the watershed
program, are being applied
ahead of schedule. The farmers
of the watershed have been very
cooperative in carrying out this
phase of the program. Forty-two
acres of serioea lespedeza have
been planted on critical areas
this spring on eight different
farms. Watershed funds have
been usde to buy seed, fertilizer,
ing these areas that are still
lime and mulch straw for plant
ing these areas thta are still
producing and would materially
affect the life of a structure if
left uncontrolled.
The South Carolina Highway
Department under the direction
of James E. Bryan, local main
tenance supervisor and Ralph
Jones, district engineer, of
Greenwod, has sloped five miles
of road banks and planted them
to sericea lespedeza, in coopera
tion with the watershed pro
gram. This work was done on
SC 308 from the junction of US
276 to junction of SC 49 at Sandy
Springs.
These and the many other
practices of the watershed pro
gram mean conservation of soil
and water.
Furman Ott is well pleased
with a tile drainage system in
stalled recently in a wet bottom
land area on his cattle farm in
the Mount Pleasant section of
the county. The tile was put in
around he first part of June. In
spite of the recent heavy rains
the piece of bottomland is now
well drained and growing a good
crop of sorghum. “No more bull*
rush and swamp grass for this
