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.

SHADY GROVE
BY THAD REEVES
Assistant County Agent
A Laurens County 4-H mem
ber exhibited the Grand Champion
hog at the Blue Ridge Stock Show
and Sale held at Spartanburg,
March 10. 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.

(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.

How Christian Are We?'
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.
