OUTZ County Agent Laurens County cattle pro ducers face tough sledding in the months ahead as a result of the drought. Rain now would come too late to save early corn and much of the other for age crops. Pastures are burned to a crisp and would actually burn off if fire were to get out. There has been very little hay harvest up until now. Rain has been very spotty; however, some areas did receive rain last week, but most areas have not had any in approximately two months. A general rain would help the pastures and would give far mers a chance to sewSudaxand Sorghum for forage. Also, we would recommend that an ap- 1. Trained Personnel 2. Modern Equipment 3.

There Is little need of applying this fertilizer until sufficient mois ture is available to put It to work. Where fertilizer is ap plied, pastures will recover rapidly following a general rain. The farmers would have an op portunity to put up fall hay. Re ports from Woodruff, Lanford, and much of the County are stm that they have not received rain. Henry Covington, who is a teacher at Gray Court-Owings and farms over in the Young’s Community, has some of the prettiest hogs we’ve seen! Hen ry says it is feed that con tributes more to the growth and development of a hog than any one factor. He has about 15 or 20 that I believe would all be number one hogs. Also, Billy DeShields and Mark Cook are venturing into the hog business. Both have a number of sows and have start ed a small feeding operation. It seems to me that Laurens County could use far more hogs than we have. Someone recently stated that the hog would be the most profitable term animal if a fella’ could make himself like the animal. It doesn’t take much expense to get into the hog business, and we can grow feed at a rather reasonable price when you consider that grain sorghum is a good hog feed. Float your boat THE BAILEY M. S.
