Over 20,000 Lespedeza Bi
color plants have been ordered
by landowners in the Laurens
County Soil Conservation Dis
trict for this season. This is
enough plants to improve the
quail habitat on about 500 acres.
The Laurens Work Unit Office
of the Soil Conservation Ser
vice will be taking applications
for Bicolor plants until Nov
ember 6. Anyone interested in
obtaining the plants may stop by
the SCS Office or call 984*6921.
Bicolor, a'choice food for
quail, is planted in one-eighth
acre plots of 1000 plants. It is
a prime food source for this
game bird during the critical
winter months that are often the
limiting factor to wildlife sur
vival.
The South Carolina Wildlife
Resources Department fur-
nisl.v'i these plants each year to
landowners in the state. The
SCS, assisting the Laurens Soil
and Water Conservation Dis
trict, distributes the plants
and provides technical assis
tance in locating sites and in
planting and management of the
Bicolor.
Billy Patterson, son of Mr.
and Mrs. T. M. Patterson of
Lanford, was a quest of the
Laurens Soil and Water Dis
trict Commissioners at their
regular scheduled supper meet
ing on Monday night September

third annualResourcesConser-
vation Workshop for high

versity this summer. Billy
showed colored slides and made
interesting comments on the
activities of the Conservation
Workshop at Clemson.

Q. Two years ago I didn’t
have a good stand of fescue on
my lawn. I used a roto-tiller
on it and resowed with fescue
but nearly all of it died. I
bought a load of river bottom
topsoil and scattered it over
the lawn, then resowed with
fescue, but still I have no more
than a third of a stand of grass.
It came up to a good stand but
died. I have applied lime and do
not water grass in the afternoon
or night. What else can I do? The
lot is shady. N.J.W., Green
ville
A. Examine your fertilizer
and mowing practices. Fescue
favors fall fertilization since
it is a cool season grass. Heavy
fertilization with nitrogen in the
spring and summer is de
trimental to this plant Cutting
too close weakens many stands
of fescue over the Piedmont
It should be mowed no lower
than three inches in the sum
mer; two and a half inches at
other times. For best results,
seed fescue in September.
There still could be any oth
er number of problems: soil
compaction, disease, or lawn
grubs. Though it has a high
tolerance of shade, fescue can
be extremely difficult to grow
In heavy shade.—E. V. Jones,
assistant extension specialist,
horticulture.
Q. Where could I purchase
Blueberry plants? Mrs. J. W.
W., Greenville
A. These are the resources
we know. Jack R. Finch, Blue
berry Nursery, Bailey, N. C.;
Jackson Batchelor, Gardens
Beautiful, Willard, N. C.; and
Dr. Tom Brightwell, Coastal
Plain Experiment Station, Tif-
too, Ga. Hastings Seed Co.,
Atlanta, also has rabbiteye In
their catalog.—H. J. Sefick,
associate professor, horticul
ture.
Q. How can I substitute cook
ing oil for solid shortening?
A. If the recipe calls for
melted shortening equals
amounts of oil can be sub
stituted. In most baking reci
pes, however, it’s usually nec
essary to make some adjust
ment.
If your recipe calls for one
cup of butter or margarine for
baking cookies you may sub
stitute seven-eights of a cup of
vegetable or animal shortening
plus one-half teaspoon salt. A
simple rule-of-thumb to re
tablespoons less and for one-
half cup use 1 tablesppon less
of liquid shortening.—(Mrs.)
Marie S. Hindman, extension
specialist, nutrition.
