S.C Dairymen
Increase Average
Milk Prohiction
CLEMSON - Dairymen in South
Carolina increased their average
milk production 135 pounds per
cow last year, according to Dairy
Herd Improvement (DHI) records
released here.
This places the average 1969
output per cow at 10,980 pounds,
reports G. E. Gramling, Clemson
Extension dairy scientist.
“South Carolina ranked third in
the U. S. in the proportion of its
dairy cows on this performance
testing program,” said Dr.
Gramling.
The records show that 29,261
cows in the state were on the
program. This is 41 percent of all
dairy cows.
“This high proportion includes
281 herds and reflects the de
termination of the state’s dairy
men to improve efficiency,” Dr.
Gramling said.

Proper maintenance of our
home and surroundings makes
more comfortable living and
more attractive. The home and
property will last much longer.
Of course, the value is increase.
This is not only a good goal
for homeowners but a good one for
communities.
One of the most shameful prob
lems facing us today is the trash
disposal situation. In riding over
the county it seems to me that
the problem is getting worse by
the day. Boxes and sacks of trash
are simply dumped from car
windows going down the road.
The county appropriated funds
to secure equipment to dig com
munity disposal pits. Of course,
it is up to each community to
locate a suitable site. Since this
is the right time for such an im
portant step for communities why
not make an effort to secure a
site and call the county super
visor or the health department
or even our office and we will

F or you that want to white wash
your fences call our office. We
have several formulas available
here at the office. You are wel
come to come by and pick up a
copy.
Serak seed are available from
several sources here in the coun
ty, and it’s time to get ready
to sow, lime, and prepare your
land. The lime is necessary for
long life and it should be applied
before the land is prepared so it
will be mixed good. Plant on a
sttled bed around the last of
April and first of May. Those re
porting seed for sale are: Ben
Hunter, Joe Holiday, George Pen-
land, and Marvin Nelson. I’m sure
these men have a good supply of
clear seed. Serala or common
sereca will take over eventually
in many of our summer pasture
areas. First, Coastal Bermuda is
hard to get now. It is good but
the sprigging process is slow and
costly. I’ve been trying to locate
springs in the county this spring
but haven’t been able too. If
anyone has any for sale please
call.
Spraying small grain and pas
tures is necessary to rid your
place of weeds. I shouldn’t say
rid your field, because spraying
won’t do it. In fact it is neces
sary to spray to keep the field
active at all. Spraying is requir
ed for small grain for certifi
cation.
Good, clean treated seed are
essential. Cotton farmers learn
ed many years ago that it pays.
However, all field crops together
with garden seed should be clean
ed and treated. Most of the gar
den seed purchased through seed
stores are treated and cleaned.
Seed sowed at home should be
treated with Ceresan. Small
quantities of Ceresan can be put
into fruit jars and used as a
treatment to get seed coated with
fungicide. Early planted vege
tables and crops need treatment
much worse as many of the dis
eases thrive in cool, damp wea
ther.
Word from R. H. Garrison of
the Seed Certification Dept, at
Clemson is that he has avail
able serala, soybeans, waterme
lons, okra, and cantelope seed for
sale. We can order for you if you
desire.
The Greenwood Feeder Cattle
sale has been scheduled for April
16. Cattle prices are very good.
In fact, they are higher than they
have been in a number of years.
One farmer told me the other day
he has been offered 30^ a lb.
for a steer. This steer would be
worth 35<? easily at the auction. I
mention this toemphasize the fact
that prices are so good you can
easily take a lickin’ if some
house trailer comes by. I would
suggest that you take your cattle
to a regular livestock auction and
stay with them. The Feeder Sale
is a good place to market young
cattle. They will be graded and
weighed on arrival at the auction.
This is a big advantage. This
sale is for only beef type young
cattle. No bulls, and no cows,
and they must be delivered.
TIPS FROM CLEMSON
HOME &
TOP HERD—Lee Sparks and Horace and 600 pounds of butterfat They
Finley of Mountville were recently
recognized for having the third high
est herd in butterfat in South Caro
lina. This herd now has a produc
tion of over 16,000 pounds of milk
will be pushing for the number one
spot in South Carolina next year.
Shown above is Mr. Sparks with three
high producers from the herd.
Timely
Tips
BY COUNTY AGENTS,
Extension Home Economists
FIRE BLIGHT - When the ends
of the limbs of pears, apples,
or even pyracanthia die, most
probably the tree has Fire Blight.
Prune dead ends back well into
healthy wood. Dip pruners into
sterilizing solution between cuts
to prevent spreading.
FERTILIZE LAWNS-Summer
lawns should be fertilized along
about now. Use a balanced fer
tilizer such as 10-10-10. A liber
al application now and another one
in mid-summer. Keep mower
blades sharp - you’ll need it!
CONTROL APHIDS - Aphids
and other small sucking insects
may be controlled by applying
DeSyston Granuals to the soil or
Cygon Spray. These materials
are systemies. They are ab
sorbed into the bloodstream of
the plant and kill the insects as
they feed. These materials work
well on roses, pecan trees, came-
lia scales, and many vegetables.
CARRY LITTER BAG - Litter
bags should be carried in every
car. Let’s everyone do our best
at keeping our highways clean.
USE CUP HOOKS in the bath
room as individual toothbrush
holders.
AN OLD SHOE BAG makes a
fine holder for small garden
tools.
TO CHECK YOUR REFRIG
ERATOR FOR PROPER SEAL
ING, close the door on a strip
of paper. If paper slips out easi
ly, your door is not sealing pro
perly and you are wasting elec
tricity.
ASH TRAYS will not scratch ta
ble tops if you glue pieces of felt
to the botton trays.
MINIGARDENS - The County
Extension Office has a booklet
entitled “Minigardens for Vege
tables’ which tells how to have a
' garden on a windowsill or a door
step. If interested stop by and
pick one up, or call 984-3021
and we will mail one to you.

(EDITOR’S NOTE: Information
in this column is provided by
Extension Service specialists and
Clemson University faculty
members. Readers are invited to
submit questions for answers.
Address to: Editor, Home & Out
doors, care of this newspaper.)
Q. What can we do to prevent
mildew in a clothes closet? Cloth
ing, shoes, etc. all get covered.
The closet is on the north side
of the house and a nearby window
also has this problem. Mrs. D.C.,
Simpsonville.
A. Finding and controlling the
cause of dampness is basic.
Molds that cause mildew flourish
whenever it is damp, warm, poor
ly aired, or poorly lighted. In
some cases the use of a mois
ture barrier material such as
polyethylene plastic over soilun-.
der the house may be helpful.
Some termite exterminators do
this, or you can get the material
at building supply firms. A copy
of home and garden Bulletin 68,
“How to Prevent and Remove
Mildew--Home Methods,” may be
of help. - W. C. Nettles, prin
cipal Extension specialist, ento
mology and plant pathology.
Q. How can 1 treat a felt hat
that has been spotted by rain?
A. Try rubbing the surface of
the hat gently with steel wool
until the nap is raised, and this
will often obliterate the spots.
Many other such tips on the care
of hats, and clothing in general,
are contained in my new paper
back book.
Q. The wallpaper in one of
our rooms has lost its grip on
one spot and formed an unsight
ly bulge on the wall What can
Ido?
A. Slit the bulge with a razor
blade and then, using a knife,
insert library paste thinned to a
creamy consistency. Smooth the
whole thing out with a stiff brush,
and the appearance of your wall
should be improved.
Q. What are some of the cau
tions in protecting persons using
pesticides?
A. Never apply material un
less the label gives instructions
and precautions. Never breathe
in sprays or dusts. Wear pro
tective clothing when the label
so directs. Never smoke, chew
tobacco or eat while spraying or
dusting. Do not spill sprays or
dusts on the skin or clothing. If
you spill them accidentally, re
move contaminated clothing im
mediately and wash the contami
nated skin thoroughly.
Wash hands and face and change
to clean clothing after spraying
or dusting. Also wash clothing
each day before re-use. If
symptoms of illness occur dur
ing or shortly after dusting or
spraying, call a physician or get
the patient to a hospital immed
iately. -- W. C. Nettles, princi
pal Extension specialist, entomo
logy and plant pathology.
Q. We enclose a sample of
last year s pecans, many of which
turned black. Can you identify the
trouble and give a remedy? E.
R.W., Greenville.
A. This is stinkbug damage.
Legumes such as vetch, clover,
beans, or peas are the favorite
food of this pest. The best way
to control is to keep legumes
out of the vicinity of pecan
trees. If this isn’t practical,
you will have to spray several
times over the season. A copy
of Bulletin 484, “Pecan Pest Con
trol,” gives information. -- R. J.
Ferree, principal Extension spe
cialist, horticulture.
