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.

MR. 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

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.

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.

trol butSevinandMalathionmay

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. Red

IN MEMORIAM
In loving memoriam of our
loved one, Reddin Richardson
McLendon who passed away in
1956 in honor of his birthday
June 14 and Father’s Day June
21.
Gone is the voice we loved to
hear,
Gone are the smiles we loved
so dear,
Gone from this earth to live
on high
Gone to sing in the heavenly
choir.
People might think our
wounds are healed
But only our heavenly father
knows how we feel.
Those days were enjoyed
while you were here
But now its only heartaches
throughout the year
You were the sunshine of our
home.
God picked you out from all
the rest
Just because he knows the
best.
We know you are not dead,
you’re just away
We will meet you in heaven
some sweet day
Tears, heartaches and flow
ers are all we can give you
since you went away.
But we spend many hours at
your grave
Darling daddy you are gone
from earth to heaven.
Sweet memories you leftwith
us forever your picture is all
we have to keep
You are always smiling and
laughing but can't ever speak
But daddy it seems as though
we can hear you say
We will meet you in heaven
some sweet day.
Sadly missed by your
daughters,
Mrs. William Dominick
and Mrs. Troy Todd
