4-D THE CHRONICLE, Clinton, S. C., May 15, 1969 Pond Owners Receive 7,700 Largemouth Bass BY J. B. O’DELL District Conservationist Thirty Laurens County pond owners received 7,700 large- mouth bass on Friday, May 9, to complete the stocking of their ponds. The fish were delivered by the Fish and Wildlife Service from Orangeburg through the co operation of the Laurens Soil and Water Conservation District. Bream for the same ponds were received from the hatchery last December. The largest number of bass from this delivery, 2£00, went in to Duncan Creek Watershed structure No. 5, located on Long Branch. Now is the time to fertilize fish ponds. Furman Ott was doing this job last week on his Hills Dale Country Aire Ranch. You will find that several applica tions of fertilizer from now throughout the summer will pay off in nicer catches of fish. BASCOM BASS My name is Bascom Bass. I live in your pond.

I say that because we don’t have enough to eat. I have some cousins in other ponds, well, you wouldn't believe how fat they are. What our ponds need is fertilizer. No, we don’t eat the stuff. This fertilizer dis solves in the top four feet of the water and aids in the growth of tiny plants called plankton. Bream feed on these plants and tiny insects. When they get plenty to eat they raise a lot of tiny bream, which, are just dee- licious! That’s where I come in, we don’t want too many bream in our pond, so I eat everyone I can catch. But now I’m so poor, I’m ashamed to be caught, See your SCS man for advice on pond management, he’s my friend.

Open Six Days a Week COMPANY JOANNA, S. C. KOEWEE BARLEY — Last fall is J. Herman Power in his barley, quite a number of our farmers secur- located on Highway 14 just across ed registered seed of the new Koewee from the J. Herman Power Tractor Barley. This certainly looks out- Company. Farmers are encouraged standing at this time. Shown above to take a look. New Keowee Barley Doing Well BY M. L. OUTZ COUNTY AGENT Small grain seems better than we have had in many years. The new Keowee barley is the best we have had in Laurens Co unty. In fact, every bit I have seen looks as if it will yeild 75 to 100 bushels per acre. There are a good number of farmers who planted the Keowee. I hope they will make every effort to keep it pure so that we can get more of it planted this fall. It is bearded but we are told that the beards are knocked off in the combining process. While oats couldbe better, they also look better than they have in several years. Soybeans make their highest yeild when planted along about now, May 10 to 20. The length of days has quite a lot to do with soybeans’ maturity and yeild. The new Davis bean is getting a good trial this year. There will be Bell St. Highlights some 250 bushels planted. This bean certainly looked good last year, and, I believe, it is a good one. I hope that we can get more grain Sorghum planted in Laurens County, as this is a good substi tute for corn. Grain Sorghum yeilds are good when planted the latter part of May. Fertilization is similar to corn. The variety GA-615 and AKS-614 both are bird resistant. This crop is weed ad justed to mechanization and chemical weed control. It also makes good livestock feed. Safety becomes more and more BY MICHAEL K. DARBINS The Music Department of Bell Street High School presented the Bell Street High School Concert Band, under the direction of Mr. Rudolph Tompkins, in its annual spring concert. The program was presented last Sunday, May 11, in the school auditorium at five o’clock p.m. The program was presented in four parts by the senior band and the beginners band. Parts I and II were played by the senior band. It consisted of: “Hurricane* by Paul Yoder; “Prelude in C Minor’ byS. Rachmaninoff;“The Stars and Strips Forever” by John Phillip Sousa; “A Sketch of the West* by Neil McKay; “The Breeze and I* by Ernes to Lecuana; and “Totem Pole”, a concert march, by Eric Os- terling. After intermission and just before the beginners band per formed, Mr. Tompkins made pre sentations of persons to receive awards. Members of the begin ners band who successfully com pleted their beginners course were given certificates of merit. Bernadette Crumlin and Michael Darbins received recognition for their participation on the Senior and Junior A11-State Band. Two trophies were given, one by Mr. Tompkins and the other by the principal, Mr. McQuilla Hudson. Donny Davenport re ceived Mr. Tompkin’s award for the most progressive beginner and Thomas Vance received Mr. Hudson’s award for the most out standing senior band student. SPECIAL NOTICE The Junior Oratorical Contest that was originally scheduled for Monday night, May 12, has been rescheduled for this coming Mon day, May 19, in the school audi torium at 8 p.m. VEIT PREON The Civics Class, with teacher Rev. Wallace Crumlin, visited the opening session of Laurens Coun ty Civil Court on Monday. After acknowledging the presence of the class, the presiding judge explained certain court proce dures to the group and expressed hope that the students would find their visit profitable and infor mational. While returning to Clinton, the class visited the County Prison on the Old Laurens Highway. The Laurens County Supervisor, Mr. Furman Thomason, conducted the class on a tour of prison. He stated that there was nothing to hide from the group about facili ties and care of prisoners. The class members gained much information and inspiration as a result of the field trip on Monday. important with farmers who get farm equipment on the busy high ways. With the number of cars and trucks that now use the roads, combined with the fact that we do have a high percentage of careless drivers, it is very dan gerous to get on the highways with tractors and other slow moving equipment. The Farm Bureau is handling safety emblems for slow-moving equipment. These emblems reflect light and warn oncoming traffic of the slow- moving equipment. Farmers who have need for these emblems sh ould get in touch with the Farm Bureau Office in Laurens. I would like to suggest that if you have a number of farms located about the community, that you place these signs on your equipment. Prices may be secured by con tacting the Farm Bureau.
