Phone 833- JOE'S ESSO SERVICE A fefkut, says Webster's Dictionary, is a radical or "one that believes in or advo cates principals associated with the Left." A rightiM, meanwhile, belongs to a par ty whoae phUoaophy and bettete are Jnst the oppo site. Both these terms evolved from a cnatom in use since the earliest times of always seattag the honored gnests at the right hand of the host at banquets or other formal gatherings. This, no doubt, came into practice because It was in the right hand that man trusted for strength when the occasion demanded physical strength. Although this was an an cient custom. It wasn’t until comparatively recent times that the terms gained wide use in descrEMag political parties. When the Fngtfsh Parlia ment finally became the real governing power of that country In the eighteenth cen tury, the two parties — Whigs and Tories — sat on opposite sides in the cham ber. The Tories, who usually subscribed to the king's polit ical views and believed in a strong central government. sat on the right, in the seats of honor. The Whigs, who op posed these fundamental po litical beliefs of the Tories, sat on the left. The Tories lat er became known as the Con servatives, the Whigs as Lib erals. Following the revolt against Louis XVI in the year 1789, popular elections were held for the purpose of reorganizing the government. In these chaotic times, men of all sorts of political hues were elected and sent to Paris to represent their con stituency. Again, aU those who backed the king were given the seats of honor In the semicircle on the right of the presiding officer, with the seats fartherest to the right going to the most ardent sup porters. By the same token. In opposttlow were as to the left side of the and the radicals most opposed to the monarchy tried to show It by taking seats as far to the left as possible. In between these two ex tremes, there is almost al ways a group known as "moderates." These have be come known as the center.

OUTZ COUNTY AGENT Laurens County Beef Cattle producers will be well re presented in the Bull Feeding Test Program at Clemsoo this Fall. Larry Largert of White Plains Farm, reports that he will send ten bulls, George Wasson will have several, Paul Owings will send several and Dell Owens of Carolina Milling will be represented with Angus. This is a new program for South Carolina, and it should give us some good bulls to go out into the State as they complete the testing program. Bulls will be delivered to Clemson on Sept ember 1, Feeding Test will be gin September 15, and the sale will be on February 24, 197L I might add that bulls have a minimum standard which they must meet in order to go in on the test They must have a minimum weight per day of age of 2.1 lbs at the time of delivery. They must grade at least twelve, which is low choice. Of course, there are other requirements that the bulls must meet during the feeding program. This means that all herds that are going to participate must be in the per formance testing program. Our scales have been busy the last week or so in weighing these cattle and getting them ready for entry into this Feed Test ing Program. Anyone who is in terested can get in touch with our office, and we will give further details. It goes without saying that these are registered cattle. Cotton farmers are cautioned to make every possible effort to check their cotton fields for bollworms and weevils. Reports coming from the eastern part of the State are that the worm population is increasing. This is probably true with our cotton fields as well. Migration of wee vils will begin around the 10th or 15th of August, and we know what this means. With the rains, our cotton has improved, and if we can continue to get showers we FARM MARKET NEWS BY M. L.

We must not let the weevils and worms eat It up however. Anyone interest ed in getting a plane to spray their cotton might call the office. Mr. Richard Kershman of Lubbock, Texas has moved with us and is now living in Clin ton and is representing the International Aero Spray Co. He will be operating from Clin ton, but will be doing work in adjoining counties. We want to welcome Mr. Kershman and his family to Laurens County. Fairs are coming up in the near future. The Upper State Fair will be held the first week of September. Laurens County will be represented in the cat tle and dairy show. We also hope to have farm exhibits in that Fair. If you haven’t attend ed the Upper State Fair, plan to. as they try to give at i little different slant to their displays. I was visiting this week with Billy, Mel, and Steve Hunter and they are training their beef calves daily, getting them ready for the big event These boys do a fine Job and take a lot of interest in their projects. Good luck to the Hunter brothers, along with other 4-H’ers showing calves this Fall. TIPS FROM CLEMSON HOME & OUTDOORS (EDITOR’S NOTE: Information in this column is supplied by Extension specialists and facu lty members of Clemson Uni versity. Readers are invited to submit questions. Address to, Editor, Home & Outdoors, care of this newspaper.) Q. How can I get rid of kudzu- vine? I bought an expensive sprayer but it’s so strong I can’t pump it up. I s there an easier way? Mrs. C.M.C., Liberty A. Spraying is the only prac tical approach to control. Eith er get a smaller sprayer or hire someone to use what you have. Try the amine form of 2,4-D, using two tablespoons per gal lon of water along with one ta blespoon of a surfactant or •'spreader/ Warning: This herbicide may injure or kill any shrubs or other desirable plants that it contacts, except grass. It should be used only on a calm day, with extreme care. Repeat at six-week in tervals as long as necessary-- probably more than a single growing season. Another material, not quite as potent, is Amino Tr la zone, marketed under such trade names as Amitrol, Weedazol, Amltol or others. Use six ta blespoons per gallon of water, mixing In one tablespoon of sur factant This will not eradicate Kudzu, but will knock it down, and the repeate treatments at six-week intervals should help keep it under control. For best results, cover foliage thorough ly with spray solution. Amino Triazole should not be used on cropland or on desirable plants. It is much safer than 2,4-D, but normal precautions should be followed to avoid spray drift. --Dr. C. N. Nolan, principal extension specialist, agronomy. Q. White insects have in vaded the lillies and the mint. When touched, they spring, as if catapulted. What do you sup pose they are? They weave a kind of white wed. Mrs. B.C.J. Greenville A. We tentatively identify this as the plant hopper. Please re fer to page 7, figure 8, and the description on page 6 of the en closed Circular 502, Insects and Diseases of Ornamentals-- How To Control Them. The Im mature nymphs can Jump and adults can fly and jump. We do not recommend a control, but Malathion is generall ef fective.—W.C. Nettles, princi pal extension specialist, en tomology and plant pathology. Q. My boxwoods appear to be dying. Could it be from putting pine needles or grass cuttings around them? A specimen is enclosed, along with a sample of dirt-- Mr. B. M. B., Gre enville A. The specimen shows a bad infestation of boxwood leaf min ers. Cygon usually gives good control of these insects when applied according to the label. The soil sample (bark) you en close is excellent for a much but far too coarse to grow plants in. It will dry out extremely fast. Pine needles or grass cuttings should not be harmful unless used in extreme amounts.-- E. V. Jones, assistant extension specialist, horticulture. Q. Is it possible to can egg plant? I like it stewed with to matoes, celery and onions, but find nothing in the cookbooks a- bout canning. Mrs. L.A.N., Gre enville. A. Eggplant may be used in canning soup mixture, following directions for canning a vege table soup mixture. Processing time is 60 minutes for pints and 70 minutes for quarts at 10- pound pressure. The amount of tomatoes should equal the to tal amount of other vegetables. I found the following dlrectioos for canning eggplant: Wash, peel, and cut into sli ces or cubes. Soak for 20 min utes In a brine. Use one table spoon of salt to one quart of water. Drain and steam or cook in a small quantity of water for six minutes. Pack hot and cover with hot water to within one-half inch of top. Add one teaspoon of salt to each quart Adjust jar lids. Process in a pressure can- ner at 10 pounds pressure, 240 degrees F.; pint Jars 45 min utes; quart jars 55 minutes. 4 H ers Win Honors At Clemson BY NELL HARRISON ASSISTANT HOME ECONOMET Sixteen Laurens County 4- H’ers were chosen on the basis of outstanding achievement at the county level.
