PRESSURE CANNER WORK SHOP - Pressure canner dial gauges will be tested Friday, June 19, from 2-4 p.m. at the Agriculture Building in Lau rens. A dial gauge, old or new, should be checked before the canning season. Bring only the lid of your pressure canner to the workshop. We are unable to test weighted gauges. If your gauge is off five pounds or more, you’d better get a new one. But if the gauge is not more than four pounds off, you can correct, for it as shown below. As a reminder, tie on the canner a tag stating the reading to use to get the correct pressure. The food is to be processed at 10 pounds steam pressure; so - if the gauge reads high - 1 pound high - process at 11 pounds 2 pounds high - process at 12 pounds 3 pounds high - process at 13 pounds 4 pounds high - process at 14 pounds. If the gauge reads low - 1 pound low - process at 9 pounds 2 pounds low - process at 8 pounds 3 pounds low - process at 7 pounds 4 pounds low - process at 6 pounds Tell your neighbors about the Pressure Canner Workshop to be held by the County Extension Home Economists. Everyone is invited. There is no charge for this service. Revival Slated At Lisbon Church Revival services will be held at Lisbon Presbyterian Church June 21-25 each evening at 8 o’clock. The visiting speaker will be Rev. E. F. Worstall of the Friendship Presbyterian Church at Hickory Tavern. Rev. David A. Staley is pastor of the church. • •••••••••a •••#••••• • •••••••••a • » •*•••••••• COME SEE IRBY FERGUSON AND,IRBY HOLLAND AT THE CLINTON MEAT MARKET (QUALITY MEATS AT ECONOMY PRICES) Turn Right At Old Beacon Drive-In (On Phillips Street) FRESH LEAN (round BEEF Round Sirloin.

MILAM — Mr. Charles Milam of Route 1. Mountville, is shown in an excellent field of wheat which will be ready to combine soon. His son, Cecil, planted the wheat and says that it is a Cok er variety. Mr. Milam was 90 years old last Sep tember, and still walks a mile every day, but leaves the farm work to Cecil. For 18 years Mr. Milam was a member of the State House of Representa tives in Laurens County. County Grain Harvest Is Well Under Way micals to control weeds in soy beans. This is after the beans have been planted and both beans and weeds are growing. First of all, lam sure most everyone has recognized that beans planted in rows are much easier to handle from a weed control standpoint. You can cultivate and take out a great many of the weeds. TIPS fUOM CLEMSOM home: a BY M. L. OUTZ County Agent Grain harvest is well on the way in Laurens County. Of course, it is better to permit this grain to dry in the field than to get over anxious and get into the field a little too early or when the grain is damp. You know we not only take a chance on it spoiling when it is damp, but we also make the situation more desirable for insect infes tation. That reminds me that farmers should take every pre caution to clean up storage fa cilities, take all old grain out and take and burn it. To scrape it out near the building is simply to invite them back in to infest the new grain. This is the time also that we would like to sug gest that farmers take care of their seed for another year. Farmers in the Piedmont should save Coker 61-19 Coker 65-20, Knox 62, and of course, some of the other proven wheat varie ties. On Barley, Keowee again seems to be out front and doing a good job. Capers and Bill Knight report that they are har vesting an average of 50 bushels of Keowee and selling it from the combine. We have had other good reports on Keowee Barley as well. Let me suggest that farmers locate some of this Barley for seed for another year. If we could get our yields of Barley high enough, we could get into the hog business and other livestock feeding enter prises. I believe Keowee at the present is the nearest thing to giving us good high dependable yields. Oats again might be short; however, they are better than normal. Bruce and Century Oats seem to be the best suited for our area. Let’s hope we get this grain in before it gets wet, but on the other hand I am sure many of our farmers would like to see a generous rain. Wfe’re having a lot of calls from farmers on theuseofche- There is a compound called Tenoran that is used if it is used earlier and before the weeds get more than 3” high. There are other chemicals a- vailable and recommended in controlling weeds in soybeans; however, they are sensitive and must be applied carefully and the timing must be accurate al so. VJe have the information here at the office if you would like, please call or come by. The bean crop hxiks average or better, but as we mentioned earlier, it needs rain. Last week we mentioned the fine gardens that we have noticed throughout Laurens County. It seems that more and more people are interested in growing vegetables. We have reports that Mr. and Mrs. John Hudgens on Chestnut St. are having fresh beans, squash, beets, potatoes, onions, and will soon have tomatoes and okra. We want to congratulate Mr. and Mrs. Hudgens on this fine gar den. 1 know they are enjoying the vegetables. Farmers and cattlemen who are interested in feeding live stock should get in touch with our office, inasmuch as the law now requires a lagoon be con structed for waste disposal These plans must be approved by the County Health Dept. Farmers who are required to build these lagoons may receive assistance in laying these out from the Soil Conservation Ser vice and they may receive ACP payments in the construction of the dams. There are strict spe cifications in the construction of these dams, so please get in touch with us and we will be glad to supply you with this infor mation.

Address to Editor, Home and Outdoors, care of this newspaper.) Q. Beetles, more or less oval similar to June Bugs, but much smaller and a metallic shining green, are eating leaves off grape vines, crab apple, and other plants in our area. What are they? A. Meet the Japanese Beetle. They have been in the U.S. over 50 years and have spread into S. C. from the northeastern part of the U.S. Some areas of the state are still free of their heavy foraging; some some will probably become in fested this season for the first time. Sooner or later the beet les will be all over the state. Peak emergence and damage in S. C. usually occurs around July 4, but first seasonal appear ances were reported this year on May 31. Natural enemies help in con trol butSevinandMalathionmay be effective against adults. Get it from your dealer and use according todirectinns. In some cases, this may have to be a- nother of the insects we have to learn to live with. - W. C. Nettles, principal extension specialist, entomology and plant pathology. Q. We live in an older house and are thinking of having ceil ing insulation installed. Can you give us some guidelines to con sider? A. If it's a do-it-yourself job, determine the area and spacing of joists so you will know the amount and width of insulation belts or blanket rolls to buy. This type insulation is installed with the paper backing or vapor barrier down. Direc tions will be on the package. An insulation company will probably be able to help you. They can usually offer loose fill insulation that is blown in place or install the belts. F. H.

But we spend many hours at your grave Darling daddy you are gone from earth to heaven.
