before spring growth starts in
strawberry plants. This should be
WQrjfced in around the plants. If

Livestock equipment is very
important on a cattle farm. In
fact, with labor as short as it is,
good equipment is a must.
Recently I was visiting in the
Fountain Inn area and stopped by
to see Mr. V. E. Fienup. He was
busy building a corral and head
squeeze.
Mr. Fienup has purchased
the Stewart farm which consists
of 900 acres. 800 of this is in
pasture. He plans to stock the
farm with 350 brood cows. He
has about 250 now and still has
plenty of grass.
The Fienups have spent a great
deal of money on the farm, in
cluding the home.
The farm is now stocked with
Angus cattle and he has no in
tention of cross-breeding.
Mr. Fienup is using livestock
plans furnished by the County
Agents Office. However, he is
using his own good judgement to
fit his needs. Two by eight inches
oak boards are being used with
only two inch spacing. He hopes
to freeze brand his cow heard
and beginperformance testing
this fall.

tion Law, enacted by the 1969
General Assembly, extends pro
tection to woodlands owners in
all counties from careless woods,
brush, trash, and field burning,
according to Laurens County
Ranger Tom Hill.
Persons who wish to burn are
asked (o notify the South Caro
lina State Commission of For
estry by calling Big Knob Fire
Tower, the County Ranger, or
County Wardens. Big Knob Tow
er will accept collect calls from
persons who live outside of the
Laurens and Laurens Rural phone
areas. This includes residents
of Clinton, Joanna, Cross Hill,
Waterloo, and some who live near
Ware Shoals. Landowners who
live near Fountain Inn may be
able to call one of the towers
in Greenville County, who will
in turn notify Big Knob by way
of the Forestry Commission ra
dio network, according to Ran
ger Hill. Also, some in the area
of Princeton may be able to con
tact Stringer Ridge Fire Tower,
phone 225-2320.
He further stated that the law
is not designed to work a hard
ship on anyone but to protect
cur valuable forest resources
from careless and negligent
burning.
Persons failing to comply with
the provisions of the act requir
ing notification of intent to burn
woodlands, brushlands, grass
lands, ditch banks, hedgerows,
or other flammable material ad
jacent to woodlands are subject
to as much as $100 fine or im
prisonment of up to 30 days.
Full cooperation by all citizens
in giving required notice of in
tent to burn will give our vital
forest resources the added pro
tection necessary to meet the
ever growing demand for woods
products, Ranger Hill concluded.

Aging and growing are funny
things. You’re happy when you
feel you're grown. You’re sad
when you feel you've aged. Yet
don’t both include learning, using
past experiences for a fuller and
more satisfying present life? The
processes aren’t too different
-- but your attitudes may de
finitely be different.
Du you want to grow old hap
pily; do you want to do some
thing about it 0 Of course you do!
The kind of person you are is
more important than anything you
may do or say. Are you easy to
I've with? Do you make life hap
pier, or harder, for those with
whom you come in contact 0
Here are a few things you can
do that will help you grow old

more gracefully, creatively and
happily.
(1) Live one day at a time,
don’t crowd your living -- make
this one count.
(2) Do keep active. No one ex
pects you to run ‘up the steps
as fast as you used to, but nei
ther do they expect you to sit in
a rocking chair all day. Don’t
refer to the “good old days"
too many times. The past is over.
Memories are wonderful if they
can unite you with present day
living.
(3) Have a hobby -- if you do,
you will never get to the place
that you have nothing to do. Hav
ing nothing to do is the greatest
threat to happiness in old age.
It doesn’t matter what your hobby
is (and there are hundreds of
different kinds) what it does for
you is the important thing.
(4) Watch your conversation.
A generous mind stays younger
than one that is ungenerous. If
you can listen to what other peo
ple are saying, avoid gossip or
petty fault finding, you will be
nicer to live with. Don't forget
to praise those around you, a-
void talking about yourself and
your ideas. Don’t use “I, me,
mine” too often and guard against
reminiscing about the “good old
days" or “when I was your age".
(5) Take a good look at your
self. W'hat do you see? Are you
growing careless about your ap
pearance? It’s so easy to do!
Try a new color; get a new hair
style! W'hat about your face? Do
the corners of your mouth turn
down? Don’t forget your sense of
humor and how to smile. Atti
tudes are important -- don’t feel
sorry for yourself. Do something
about it.

TIPS FROM CLEMSON
HOME &
rens County in this project for
two years at State 4-H ClubCon-
ference which is held at Clem-
son. Recently, Caroline assisted
Mrs. Nellie Harrison with a
Cookie and Cake Demonstration
which was held in the Agricul
tural Building. Caroline has also
done work in the fields of clothing
and dog care and training.
Caroline is a junior at Clinton .
High School. She is a member of
the Radio Club and Library Club.
She serves as a library assist
ant and is a substitute bus driver.
Her hobbies include reading and
listening to the radio.
Q. What are the chances of
cold damage to my evergreen
shrubs during extreme cold per
iods? Mrs. T. C., Easley
A. Most damage to evergreens
during extended cold periods oc
curs as dessication or drying
out of the leaves and young
branches. This is usually worse
where plants are out in the full
sun. The sun causes the leaves
to give off water into the air,
but if the ground is frozen roots
can’t take up water. It is es
sential that soil not be allowed
to dry out during cold seasons.
Once plants such as azalea,
camellia, and hollies are hard
ened off or conditioned to cold,
damage is seldom serious. Most
cold damage occurs in the early
fall when a severe cold period
follows mild weather.
Winter damage can be kept to
a minimum by the selection of
adapted varieties of plants, and
location in the proper places,
such as partial shade for azalea
and camellia. -- E. V. Jones,
assistant Extension specialist,
horticulture.
Q. I am interested in growing
Ginseng as a cash crop. Could
you tell me the time periled from
seed planting to maturity, the best
time to plant, average yield per
acre and current market value.
P. C. C., Williamston.
A. We are sending you a US DA
Farmers’ Bulletin 2201 <m The
Growing of Ginseng. No research
has been conducted with Ginseng
for South Carolina conditions,
therefore we have nu material
specifically for this state. I would
suggest you give this crop a
thorough examination before
going into full production. -- J. A.
Martin, associate professor,
horticulture.
Q. Attached is a specimen f
plant which is being affected by
some sort of fungus. What can I
do about it 0 Laurens reader.
A. This is not a fungus but
an insect, the Japanese wax
scale. It is one of the most
conspicuous of the scale insects,
living on stems of plants and at
times on the underside of
leaves. Many species of or
namental plants are subject to
attack, including azalea, camellia
and several species of holly.
Infested plants become stunt
ed and heavily-infested branches
may die.
It’s very difficult to control
with chemicals. For prevention,
purchase only inspected plants
and rub off and mash all speci
mens frequently. For control,
use white oil emulsion before
growth starts in the spring and
reduce dosage during summer
and fall. Dimethoate, Cygon and
Diazinon are effective against
the crawlers. Certain pesticides
are highly toxic to some plants;
be sure that a specific label di
rection is given for the plant you
intend to spray. -- W. C. Net
tles, principal Extension specia
list, entomology and plant patho
logy.
Q. I plan to make a tall screen
to use Burford holly or sasan-
qua camellias. Jjow far apart
should I space the plants and how
can I get fast growth?
A. Space the plants five feet
apart. Each year in March, apply
5-10-10 fertilizer at the rate of
one cupful per square yard of
ground under and out past tips
of the branches. Water thoroughly
when the soil becomes dry. --
F. W. Thode, associate profes
sor of horticulture.
Q. Are dormant sprays of de
ciduous home orchard plants and
related urnamental plants
stressed as much as in the past?
A. Not for control of scale
insects because summer appli
cations of some phosphate insec
ticides tend to hold scales in
check. Certain fungus-caused
diseases such as peach leaf curl
and others are controlled by ap
plications of coppers and lime
sulfur during the dormant period.
-- W. C. Nettles, principal Ex
tension specialist, entomology
and plant pathnlogy.

SPRING FLOWERING BULBS
should t>e planted in mid-January.
Bulbs bloom in the warm areas
in eight to 10 weeks after plant
ing. M ist bulbs need full sun
shine. Try to select a planting
site that will provide at least
five oi six hours of direct sun
light a day. Bulbs that you leave
in the ground year after year
should have eight to 10 hous of
daily sunlight for good flowering.
