For All The New Styles At Prices j You Can Afford! ^ SCARVES SASHES For The New Look BY HAROLD ROGERS Assistant Extension Editor CLEMS ON -They can automate and mechanize a lot of things in farming, but there are some areas where that individual touch is still a must. One of these is in swine pro duction, with brood sows. Carl W. Ackerman, Clem- son Extension specialist in ani mal science, puts it this way: “Any shortage of attention during the critical breeding and farrow ing periods will result in reduc tion of number of pigs weaned and sold per sow. * This is one of the keys to the operation. With feed, labor and equipment costs going up, the place to improve the profit pic ture is in pig production. “The success of a swine en terprise will largely be de termined by the number of live, healthy pigs farrowed and wean ed per sow,” Carl says. “After she has farrowed and weaned only four or five pigs there is little, if anything that can be done to make a profit from the litter.” That spells out personal atten tion. The brood sow must have it if the operation is going to be successful. There are also other areas where careful thought and plan ning are needed, Ackerman notes. One of these is location of pas ture. Too often, according to the specialist, there is a tendency to put the sows in low, wet fields “or in a low swampy wooded area that is good for nothing else ex cept raising crawfish or earth worms.” He says pasture should be lo cated on well drained open lots and based on temporary grazing. “Summer pasture may take in the edge of open woods on high ground to provicknatural shade, ” Ackerman advises, “but don't go deep enough in the woods to take in the stream or wet area- tempting as it might be becuase of its cooling effect. ^ Replacement of gilts in another vital area of the brood sow pro duction. He says: “Gilts selected for replace ments or as foundation stock for new units should be separated from other animals around 180 to 200 pounds and placed on limit ed ration. If on concrete feeding floors, these gilts should also be taken off at this time. Leaving them to heavier weight on con crete floor will cause more foot and leg problems when they are put on the pasture.” Other cautions and advice are given on the brood sow produc tion, including rations, anti biotics for sows, gestation, and worming.

B. O’DELL District Conservationist The Work Plan on the Beaver- dam-Warrior Creeks Watershed has been completed and reviewed by the Soil Conservation Service and the U. S. Forest Service. The informal field review of the Work Plan will be held at 10 a.m., Thursday, Sept. 18, 1969, in the auditorium of the Laurens County Health Department Build ing, Laurens. The Beaverdam-Warrior Creeks Watershed is located northeast of Laurens and outlets into the Enoree River. The area of the watershed is about 35,600 acres. The project is sponsored by the Laurens Soil and Water Conservation District, the Bea verdam-Warrior Creeks Wa tershed Conservation District, the Upper Laurens County Water District and the town of Gray Court. After the review of the Plan and its approval by the local people, it will be signed by the local sponsors. It will then go to Washington for Congressional approval for operations. The sponsors hope this approval will be made before Congress ad journs so that work in the water shed can soon get underway. Furman Ott was elected chair man of the Board of Directors of the Rabon Creek Watershed Conservation District at a meet ing, Wednesday, Sept. 10, at the office of the Soil Conservation Service in Laurens. Other offi cers elected were, Eugene Stod dard, Vice Chairman and Billy R. Abercrombie, secretary- treasurer. The other Watershed Directors are W. A. Martin and H. O. McGee of Fountain Inn. Jim Nicholson and Luke Nance of the State Watershed Planning Party led a discussion on the review of the nine proposed flood- water retarding dams for the wa tershed. It was brought out the planning work on the 86,000 acre water shed is about 30 percent com plete. Additional planning work is scheduled to begin in October. The estimated date for the com pletion of the Work Plan is July 1970. * * * Mountville News BY MRS. L. R. ADAMS Mr. and Mrs. Mark Pitts and boys of Aiken spent the weekend with Mr. J. W. Miller.
