i • jv- i > Clinton, S. C., Thursday, June 22,1967 THE CLINTON CHRONICLE i unty Agent Advises Proper Storage for i Grain harvest is well underway. Combines require a great deal of adjustment when grain harvest begins. If these adjustments are*not done properly, a large amount of the grain will be blown out with the chaff and straw. Earl Weisner is shown getting his combine properly ad justed. Those riding the combine are John Simpson and Johnny Thompson. The Weisner farm has some small grain, cotton, and cattle as the dominant enterprise.— County Extension Photo. The land of milk and honey! Shown above is Marion Littlefield cf the Bethel community robbing his bees. Mr. Lillefield says that the honey flew is about average and one can cxr ect about 50 pounds of honey from a good, healthy hive. He robs his bees once a year, leaving the late crop cf honey for the bees to winter on. Mr. Little field says ‘be honey that he has now is poplar and dog wood.—Countv Extension Photo. Grain harvest is well under way. Oats and barley were cut last week. The majority of the wheat will be cut this week if the weather permits. 1 would like to caution far mers about storing their grain crop. Very often the crop is lost after the harvest, while it is in storage by in sect and rat damage. It is very important that bins and barns be thoroughly cleaned before the grain is placed in storage. They should be swept out and old grain burned as insects will reinfest from this old grain. After cleaning a 50 percent solution of meth- oxychlor at the rate of one pound per two and one half gallons of water should be used to wet down the walls and floors. This will give good control if recommendations are followed in applying the chemical. There are other chemicals available. Rats ruin, eat up, and destroy a great deal of grain. There are various rat baits on the mar ket that will kill the rats if used properly. I would like to suggest that farmers be very careful with planting seed for another sea son. It is suggested that each farmer plant at least 10 per cent of his grain crop in reg istered or certified seed so that he can have a clean, fresh supply of high germination seed to plant the next crop with. Store these seed separ ately and have them cleaned. There is no one to blame for the contaminated small grain that is now on the mar ket for planting seed other than the farmers themselves. Feilds are covered with weeds now-a-days that are almost impossible to eliminate. These weeds cut grain yields from one third to one half. Once contamination is established, it becomes very hard to get the fields clean again. I sug gest that farmers be very careful with their planting seed and make sure that the moisture content is kept in the proper range as insects are much worse in high mois ture grain. Keep those insects out of the grain! There are chemicals now 'available that will do an excellent job of kil ling insects by fumigation. However, the grain must be on an air-tight floor. Farmers can use builders’ paper on the walls and often times on the floor to make the storage area air-tight so Hint fumigation can be accomplished if need be. Let s take care of it once we havg it. TIMELY TIPS C a 11 1 e m e n’s Associa tion Tour: A tour of packing plants, livestock facilities and research projects has been ar ranged from July 10-12. The tour is sponsored by the S. C. Cattlemen's Associaton. Those interested in this tour should contact John F. Wise, secre tary of the Association. We certainly hope Laurens Coun ty will have a good represen tation for this tour. Banish white marks from mahogany furniture this way: Spread a thick coat of petro leum jelly over the spots, let it stand 48 hours, and polish off. Soybean Variety Test: In formation just received on soybeans varieties tested at Clemson shows the Hampton 266 yields to be 41.2 bushels; Jackson. 37.5 bushels: Bien ville, 35.9; and Bragg 34 for early planting. Also the Hamp ton let for late planting. We urge soybean growers to get this clean certified Hampton 266 for their seed patch. To Grate Lemon Rind: To grate lemon or orange rind, use a medium grater, not a fine one. This will give thin flakes. Grate only the outer most colored rind. Poisonous Weeds: Livestock producers are urged to look out for the night shade plant. It is poisonous to livestock. It is usually found in new ground, around old barns and cleaned up areas. Hulling Berries: Sort and spread berries on a platter or shallow pan, refrigerate. Wash berries before hulling so as not to lose juice.' Cotton Insects: Cotton far mers should spray or dust for thrips and flea beetles at this time. In many instances these insects are killing the cotton completely. Boll weevils are also out in numbers so you had just as well get your equipment ready and let’s knock them out before the cotton starts squaring. v Top left: Chevy Q Nova Sport Coupe.

Only Chevrolet offers The roomiest ear in America The results of the Automotive News roominess study: Chevrolet is the roomiest car made in America! Combine all that space with Chevrolet's good looks and low price, and it's easy to see why Chevrolet remains the number one choice. The best value in its class Chevy II, naturally. You can spot the quality in the deep Magic-Mirror finish, the rugged all-vinyl upholstery, and the flush-and-dry rocker panels. We put more into Chevy II, so it will cost you less to keep up. The lowest, widest sportster at its price If you think Camaro looks a little sportier than others at its price, you're right. Fact is, Camaro stands wider and lower. And those good-looking dimensions give you the closest thing yet to sports-car response.
