of the best land-builder$ that we have. Cotton yields will
be boosted following clover. Mr. Bramlett will be 90
years old on his next birthday.—County Extension Photo.

liming should treat their seed eral years. The new variety,
Hampton 266, is .superior,
and I suggest that farmers
get some of this seed.
There are a number of
chemicals for weed control in
soybeans. 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.
Rimer is planning to have
a cattfiT sale May 30. He is
planning to sell a large num-
of Charolais cattle. Mr.
imer is reducing his herd
of Charolais to a more practi
cal number. 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.
