THE CHRONICLE, Clinton S C., law. U* ^ COMMENTS ON MEN AND THINGS By SPECTATOR . . . Our state, seems keen to With all our medical and spend. It almost seems that everyone has a pet scheme to try on the States. Can’t we let all the plans of recent years have time to soak in? Among the plans that irk me most is the plan to reor- gaffTl*' the State Senate. There are lawyers in both House and Senate and I mar vel that they acquiesce so tamely on plans to shift Sena tors about. Didn’t our State Constitution say something about a Senator for each County? Since the State is a self- governing unit which is a Sovereign power, more or less, wherein does the Fed eral authority find sanction for reconstituting the State Senate?

UNIIJF.KWATER WEALTH j What do you know about the vast wealth hidden deep below the surface of the ocean? ••huusion — A unique un derwater work chamber now is enroute to the coast of West Africa where it will es tablish an oil field 200 to 600 feet below the surface of the South Atlantic. . . . Prospects are glittering and hopes run high. Yet, this emerging land of oppori- tunity faces not only a host of natural hazards to its de velopment but at least two men-made threats as well. The immediate one comes from the United Nations, ..... 0 . . „ , • which, with the support of Umted States Constitut.on, uk( . minded y s lawmak Amendments 9 and 10. If the Federal Authority disregards those amend- ers has laid claim to the oceans ‘in the interests of ^ j _ mankind’. More plausible — ments why does not the Gen- henCp morp dangerous _ eral Assembly of our State propose to Congress that the proposals that the U. S. gov ernment, fresh from organiz- Congress define the scope of ec j triumphs in space, seek to the Federal judiciary, as pro- duplicate the feat in the vided clearly in the Consti-1 ocean dep th tution, Section II (2) of Ar- ' tide III — which says textu- j ally and explicitly: That the Congress may regulate the Supreme Court exceupt for several instances set forth in the Constitution. INFLUENZA “In the Eastern and Cen tral states, it was influenza time again last week. Follow ing known earlier patterns, the disease struck first in the schools. Presumably, it will now spread to those even more susceptible — the very young who haven’t yet ac quired sturdy bodily resis tance and those of the very old who are chronically ill The U. S. Public Health Service last week established by laboratory test that the disease, one of the most des tructive of the respiratory illnhsses, is prevalent through Michigan, in and around North Miami, Fla., in five Alabama counties, in several New Jersey counties and in a few localities in New York, ^ Oklahoma, and Alabama. .- . “While perhaps a month earlier than in recent years,’ said PHS Surgeon General William Steward, ‘the oc currence of influenza this season is not more extensive nor more serious than our ex perience in past recent years.’ The surgeon general’s statement may be aimed more at allaying undue pub lic fears about influence than at being incisively accurate. A PHS advisory committee on immunization practices, ip fact, earlier this year foUpd that: ‘The relatively little dis ease capsed by (Asian) in fluenza viruses in the 1966-67 season permitted the general level of susceptibility to in crease, particularly in the Eastern states where (the last major outbreaks of (Asian) illness were observed in 1964-65. Thus, substantial numbers of cases of Asian influenza can be expected to, occur’ . . .” Well, this is alarming, eh? Farm Market News VEGETABLES Cabbage, 50 lb. bag, $1- 1.50.

Owners of pleasure horses which don’t have free access to water may easily under estimate the horse’s water re quirements. 1 L. F Cato, Clemson Exten sion livestock scientist, taking note of the large number of pleasure horses in S. C. gives this advice to the owners: “The amount of water need ed by an individual horse varies, but it’s safe to as sume that a mature horse will drink 12 or more gallans a day. “Frequent waterings rather than one or two waterings a day are best.” Cato says one function of water for horses is to provide for the production of saliva. “A horse may secrete up to 10 gallons of saliva during a 24-hour period Clear run ning streams are the best forms of water but automatic watering cups, which are available on the market, may solve your problem.” But Cato cautions: “Don’t allow your horse to gorge himself immediately after he’s been running hard. I If you’ve been putting him | to hard use. walk the horse i the last mile before turning * him out where water is avail able.” SOIL EROSION The severity of soil erosion loss, in the absence of visible “washing,” is often hard to estimate. As a result, land owners don’t always know whether their conservation practices are good, accept able, or bad. But recently, says L. R. Allen, Clemson Extension CATTLE Commercial Cow«, $18- $20.80. Canners and Cutters, $14- $16. Good Ch. Stocker S A H., $24-$27.50. Medium Stocker S A H, $22-124. HOGS Hogs No. 1-3, 220-240, $18.25-$19.29. agronomist-eonser vat ion, soil scientists of the ISDA have agreed on how much erosion can occur under “good” con servation management prac tices. “If you're losing no more than 1-lt) to 1-2 of one per cent of your topsoil annually, you’re probably doing an ac ceptable job.” he says. The top six inches of your soil weighs about 1,000 tons This means a loss of one to five tons a year is within the tolerance set up lor most S. C. soils. While soil losses can be measured under .experimental conditions, the average tann er has no way of doing so without professional help. However, soil conservation ists now have enough infor mation on the subject to show farmers how to hold soil losses within the toler ance. This is accomplished by the use of grasses, trees, mea dow strips, strip cropping, and the maintenance of good terraces. This continues to he | an important set of practices Dr. Allen continues: ' Tlr need lor tightening up on soil (conservation practices is bo ! coming more pressing “The trend toward using larger, multi row farm equip ment has increased, rather than decreased, our soil cro sion problems." Textile plants in the Uni ted States use more than three and a quarter million gallons of lubricating oil each vear. David Thomas Plaxico of Walnut St., Clinton. ! .
