If anyone would like a list of these chemicals we would like for you to call the office or drop by as we will not attempt to give them in this column. However, I will mention two chemicals that can be used after the beans are up: one is tenoran. It can bo used over the top of beans when they are 2 to 3 inches tall. However, it will not control grasses that are already up. The other chemi cal is 2,4-I)-B. It should be ap plied from the beginning of blooming to the end of bloom ing in fields with severe cocklebur infestation. Inescts are a big ppablem in some areas of the state, but in Laurens County we have been able to get by so far without applying any in secticides to any extent. The major pests are the looper which eats the leaves and the com ear worm which attacks the bean pod. A few of these insects have shown up in fields of Laurens County, but not enough to cause great concern. Beans yield best when planted in rows and cultivat ed Even though weather con ditions have been unfavor able, it is time we planted our beans and I am sure we will get some hot weather in the very near future. There will be a time when we will need moisture and we had better take advantage of this moisture while we have it so we can get the beans up. Cold, wet, windy weather has caused a great deal of loss as far as crop, production in Laurens County. Amost all of the cotton has been plant ed over — some the third time. In riding over hte coun ty, I have found a few farm ers with a pretty good stand of cotton, but most of it looks sick. Let’s hope that we get some good, warm sunshine that will start the cotton to growing. I have always felt that it would help a crop to break that hard crust that forms after heavy rains. This is ad visable at this time. Howev er, we would like to caution everyone to be very careful and not destroy what you have by plowing up and covering It up. Also, it is very impor tant that we keep the hoe hands out of the fields until the weather conditions change and the cotton starts growing. In fact, many of our farmer now have planted in hills and do not expect to use any help at all. We have had a nuniber of questions asked abopx chemi cals where cotton 7 is being plowed up and the land plant ed to soybeans/! have asked our weed socialist, Dr. C. N. Nolan ot Clemson, to an swer this question, and I am quoting below his answer. “Soybeans should not be planted following cotoran or karmex. For caparol, there may be a slight risk involved, but soybeans could be plant ed following its use. Howev er, the land should be disked before planting the beans. Where cotoran and Icarmex were applied as band treat ments, soybeans could be planted in the middles.” TIMELY TIPS By The County And Home Agents CATTLE SALE: Shelton J.

Farmers and cattlemen throughout the area are invited to attend. The sale will begin at 1 p.m. Charolais bulls, bull calves, heifers, and cows will be sold. LEFTOVER FRUIT JUICES: Freeze leftover fruit juices or syrups drained from fruit in ice cube trays to fla vor beverages. Or you can freeze them with a stick in each cube as an ice treat for the youngsters. EACH MORNING: Drink a glass or unsweetened juice when you get out of bed. The natural sugar contained in juice rushes to the blood stream making you look and feel better immediately. FALL TOMATOES: A new publication is available to all gardeners on fall tomato pro duction. One important factor that I might mention is that plants should be put out the first of July so that the toma toes will come in before frost.
