• n h ♦ ,. i * ] THE CL^TON CHRONICLE , «.* •*. •■> ,a Clinton, S. By M. L. OUTZ, County Afent Above is Gray Hipp of Gray Court, constructing much- needed livestock corral. Mr. Hipp has approximately 100 head of calves and says he has needed the corral for a long time but just never took the time to build a good one. The corral is built of white oak (two by eights). It is sufficient to hold 50 cows. Cost of corral, complete, in cluding head squeeze was $240.00. Mr. Hipp says his own labor is not included. A Clemson University plan was furnished Mr. Hipp and is available to anyone who is in terested in building one. Shown above is Mr. Hipp on left, Gettis Fuller, and Ruledge Adams who are helping to construct the loading chute. Winter perenmal lawns maintains a ^reen color year should be seeded after Sept round if properly cared for. 15 Fescue is the dominant Soil preD,:at:on probably grass. It has the advantage of contributes, more to a good growing under shade and than any other factor. That is, uisuirting you have g' od seed." l would suggest U at a soil sample be drawn frtl. After this is done and results received, add the iik'ded lirm and fertiliser? Plow the so l tc a maximum oeith the first time you plow —say about 0 inches- dedp. Roughly smooth it out and wait for a good rain. The soil si.ould be, wc.kcj lightly af- er each seasoning ana the smoothing process contifi- Ku. “ Rocks, stumps, etc., sh mid be removed, if this process is fq owed, tile soil v"' Jabsorb a great deal moife water and wnl be smooth and ready to go when seeding time comes. Any time after the middle of September, the lawn can be seided. The*e are several dif ferent methods of seeding the i iwn. Proo bi- the most ac- cuerte is a regular commer cial seeder. This machine does not m >kt mistakes if adjusted properly. However, most of the lawns are seeded with a cyclone seeder. A great many seed are used per acre (150 to 200 pounds). The soil surface is broken slightly and the seeej applied. Again that commercial seeder with a covering device is good, but most do not have it. Those that do not simply use a rake or drag harrow to cover the seed slightly. Getting a lawn established is very expensive, so I rec ommend that you do the jpb right to start with. Timing is very important. If soil prep- aratioi is started now, there should be plenty of time to get the job done. In fact, there is a period of six weeks af ter September 15, thot one can expect good, results. Too often wc find lawns up- der-fertilized. Consequently, I am alraid to mention this one Shown above from left to right are fed Hagan, as- sistant County Agent, John Simmons, Mountville, and Dr. Z&ck Seymour, veterinarian of -the county. : Mr. Sim- ^ mons weighed and graded approximately 100 head of cat- j tie last week. Dr. Seymour tested the calves for bangs \ disease, blackleg, etc. ^ • * v f ~.4 point; however I must. Of- joy, comfort and value of a ten, too much nifrogen is used home. with fescue when seeding.

If tco much nitro- cular 305, that I believe will fen is available the seedling help anyone interested in es% ; will shoot UP to four or five a „ inches' and fall over. When this • happens the seedlings will' die, as some diseases such ps mold will take over. To.begin with, I would rec ommend using a 4-12-12 at the rate-od; about 500 pounds per acre and hope to avoid this situation. . • a After a stand -of - grass is secused, - fertilizer may be added - from time to time to maintain the desired color. A good Lawn requires a lot of attention and effort, to say nothing of the expense. How- eyeiy it adds gren'Jy to the have a copy by calling the off fice. ■. - . Jh Pleas*! . .
