Pliers should be among
the basic tools of the handy
man homeowner. The ordi
nary slip-joint pliers will do
for a start. Later on, you
will graduate to side-cutting
and long-nosed pliers. So-
called water-pump pliers are
made so that the adjustable
jaws can be set for a variety
of sizes.

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-

plication of nitrogen be applied
to all summer pastures as soon
as general rains occur. 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.
