* 4-B—THE CHRONICLE. Ointon, S. C., March 19, 1970 Get Your Ready To Soil Plant BY M.L. OUTZ County Agent The entire universe seems to come alive in spring. Not just animal life - - plants too. So you who are in the farming busi ness can make haste while the sun shines. That is, get your soil ready to plant I believe there are more crops planted over due to planting on an unsettled seed bed than any one thing. While the weather was good last week I hope you got ready to put your early crops in. Some folks plant month. corn the 1st of this Speaking of corn, I delivered 50 pounds of Silver Queen to one of the local seed stores last week. This is sweet corn and the best I’ve ever tasted. There are ear lier varieties but will not beat it in quality and yield. Try it. It is extra sweet I was sitting across from Harry League, Clinton dairyman, at the dairy meeting, and he said he was planning to plant corn, if the weather remained good, in the near future. Dairy farmers are all busy preparing land for corn. It will be cut for silage in July and Au gust. Corn silage is the king of all silage crops. It is almost a complete feed I heard it des cribed once as furnishing grain and fodder too. Dairymen will harvest more energy from an acre of corn silage than any other crop. Many of the modern feeders will feed silage the year-around. The more roughage you can get into the cow the cheaper the milk. That is, of course, if it is good quality roughage. We are approaching the plant ing season, as no one knows better than the dairyman that planting early is very important. In order to plant early the land must be prepared in advance. This gives the soil time to set tle, which is necessary to get a good stand. Martins are a desirable bird. These little birds feed on mosqui toes and other harmful insects. It would be most desirable to have these around one’s home. They winter in South America and go north as far as Canada in the summer. I planted a hill of Mar tin Goards last spring and wound up with a good supply of seed. I f you would like enouth for a start we have them here at the office and I’ll be glad to give you some. If you wnat them come by. The USS North Carolina, the World War II battleship, was the first of the new dreadnoughts built by the U. S. Navy prior to and during the war.

Gary Osborne, the 15 year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Dan Osborne of Route 1, Clinton, raised the 180-pound Yorkshire gilt from a pig. Gary and his father, and brother, Don, have mostly purebred Yorkshire sows and cross these on purebred Duroc, Hampshire and Yorkshire boars. They sell a good many re gistered Yorkshire gilts and boars to producers in this area. In addition to showing the Grand Champion individual hog, Gary also placed second in the fitting contest, and is the alternate for a trip to Chicago. Gary also ex hibited the Grand Champion pen of three hogs and Mr. Osborne had the Reserve Champion bar- row in the open class. There was a total of 63 hugs entered in the show this year so you can see the Osbornes had plenty of competition. The sale was held March 11 and Gary’s hog sold for 63 cents per pnund. This was Gary's first time showing hogs and he certainly did an nutstanding job. Other boys who are planning to show hogs had better look out for Gary in the future. Timely Tips BY COUNTY AGENTS, Home Economists LEFTOVER SANDWICHES need not be wasted. Brush with melted butter and saute in a pan. They will taste fresh and deli cious. BED SHEETS usually wear out in the middle first, but you can make very nice pillow cases from those sheets. HOME GARDENS - Anyone in terested in information on home gardens will want to attend the meeting Thursday evening, March 19 at 7 p.m. at the Agri cultural Building in Laurens. Dr. Ezell of Clemson University will discuss vegetable production, in sects and disease problems. Mr. Roy Ferree will discuss home grown fruits. Plan to attend. HAVING THE SOIL TESTED is still the best way to determine phosphorus and potassium ferti lizer needs. It is to determine limi' the only way , needs. FARMERS ARE URGED TO USE recommended varieties of seed for each crop. This will assure higher yields and fewer risks. NOW IS THE TIME to ferti lize pastures for spring graz ing. 1/i£ OldlcMlVL “These days about the only thinu you can be sure of «et- in>; for a nickel is five nies." pen- (Editor’s Note: Information in this column is provided by Ex tension Service specialists and faculty members of Clemson Uni versity. Readers are invited to submit questions for answers. Address to: Editor, Home & Out doors, care of this newspaper.) Q. We have never had a vege table garden, but now have a new home with grounds large e- nough to permit one. How can we get started? D, W., Anderson. A. Gardening probably takes more effort than money, and can be extremely rewarding. The most successful people are those willing to pay attention to detail, to do what needs to be done at the right time. For a sound foundation, start with a soil test so you will know how much and what kind of fer tilizer to use. Get your seed packets, a couple of basic tools such as spading fork, rake, and hoe, and you are in business. Your county agent or Extension home economist has information and publications free for the asking. They may also be able to give ad vice on problems and questions.- Dr. D. O. Ezell, assistant Ex tension specialist, horticulture. Q. Tea scale has severely af fected the foliage on my camel lia jeponica. It’s also on some nearby tea plants and Burfordi holly. I have used oils for years on this problem. Would systemic insecticides help, in additun to the oils? L.G.H., Fountain Inn. A. First, let me caution that you never apply Cygon either as a folier spray or soil drench to Burfordi holly. Professionals may apply Di-Syston in the granu lar form to the soil around ca mellias and holly using instruc tions on the container. Cygon (Dimethoate) may be applied to the camellias with two sprays at six-week intervals followed by annual applications soon after first growth begins in the spring; also, Cygon may be applied to the soil around the base f the plants in the early spring, using rates and dates specified on the label -- W. C. Nettles, principal Ex tension specialist, entomology and plant pathology. Q. Soil in our lawn tends to harden, making it difficult to maintain the fescue covering in some areas. Is there a solution? J. H., Easley. A. General renovation is best, reworking the soil and adding coarse sand for porosity. If not practicable, try adding sand over the lawn and working in as you can. Liming may improve the situation. An aerifier would also help. This is a machine that plugs the soil for increased aeri- ation. With it, materials such as sand may be worked in easier. Such machines may be available through rental agencies or lawn equipment shops, or you may need to find a professional landscaper who can come in and do the job. -- J. P. Fulmer, assistant pro fessor horticulture. Q. In opening blisters on the leaves of my boxwood, I find yellowish-lo<>king maggots be tween the upper and lower part of the leaves. What are they? G. K. , Clemson. A. Sounds like the boxwood leaf mold. One generation is produced each season. The blisters are mines in which orange maggots feed. After pupation, the fly adult emerges, leaving pupal skins at tached to holes in the leaves. Infested plants are usually not killed but may have sickly ap pearance. For control, apply a lo calized systemic material such as Cygon as soon as growth starts in the spring. Other contact ma terials may be applied as soon as adult flies emerge from the leaves. There are also some ma terials not available to the home gardener which may be used by professionals. -- W. C. Nettles, principal Extension specialist, entomology and plant pathology. Q. Is it advisable to have a play room on a concrete slab 0 M. S., Greenville. A. I see no disadvantage in this. It would probably be desirable to waterproof the concrete by using pilyethelene underneath and by specifying a good grade of con crete. To keep the floor from sweating and to minimize heat loss, some type of rigid insula tion should be placed around the periphery of the floor. -- Ernest B. Rogers Jr., associate profess or, agricultural engineering. Episcopal ALL SAINTS EPISCOPAL CHURCH LEESVILLE SOUTHERN FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH Rev.

BY HERBERT SPAUGH The season of Lent is supposed to be a time of self-examination and self-denial. It should be a time when we endeavor to bring our lives in tune with the Al mighty. We live in a so-called Chris tian nation, but too few of us are really practicing Christians. Dr. Elton Trueblood, the celebrated Quaker philosopher, has submit ted the following list of questions with a heading, “How Chris tian Are We?” Make this per sonal. Honestly ask yourself how Christian am I? 1. Do we actually love one ano ther? 2. Is prayer a reality to you? 3. Are you careful of the re putations of others, especially a- voidint tale-hearing and gossip? 4. Are you punctual in keep ing your promises and prompt in the payment of your debts? 5. Do you live in such a man ner that you can use a portion of your income for the spread of the Kingdom of God? 6. Do you avoid defrauding the public revenue? 7. Are you sensitive to the wrongs and injustices of other races, frequently thinking of yourself as in their place? 8. Do you refuse to enjoy per sonal comfort at the expense of oppression and injustice. 9. Do you use your influence to help to produce a warless world? 10. Is your home a place where love reigns and where the King dom of God begins? These questions go to the grass roots of our personal lives. They touch many common practices such as tale-bearing, gossip and the passing on of hearsay evi dence. What about your money? Do you give a minimum of one-tenth of your income to church and other benevolent enterprises? Bring this down into your own personal home and environment. Yes, and the way you act in an automobile? The home is the basis of our social structure. It is rapidly falling apart because of material ism and selfishness. We have al ways had rebellious teenagers, but their number today is mul tiplying over the world. They are searching for a sense of true values and we are not giving them these. I urge you to be honest witt yourself. Ask yourself, How Christian Am I? Then come to some conclusions and proceed to take remedial steps. The best place to commence is on your knees where you pray “God, be merciful to me, a sinner. Not my will but Thine be done. Lord, what will Thy have me do?” Now get up and follow the leading which He gives you.
