ASSISTANT COUNTY AGENT
Laurens County 4-H Beef,
and Dairy Calf Club members
have been very active this fall,
showing cattle at many of the
area fairs. Patti and Bonnie
Sparks, daughters of Mr. and
Mrs. Lee Sparks of Mount-
vllle, have shown Holstein cat
tle at the Upper State Fair,
Newberry Fair, Greenwood
Fair, State Fair, and, last but
not least, the Laurens Fair.
You can see from this that
there have not been many weeks
when their calves have not been
at a fair. They have won num
erous prizes for fitting, show
manship, and, also, for the
quality of their calves.
Billy, Steve, and Mel Hunt
er, sons of Mr. and Mrs.
Billy Hunter of Rt. 2, Gray
Court, and Rodney Osborne,
son of Mr. and Mrs. Harold Os
borne of Rt 2, Woodruff, have
been the most active showmen
in the Beef Club. They have
shown cattle at the Upper State
Fair, South Greenville Fair,
Spartanburg Fair, State Fair
and Laurens Fair. Others
showing beef cattle this year
are Mary Wrenn of Fountain
Inn, Gray Curry of Gray Court,
and Eddie Simpson of Lan-
ford. Rodney Osborne and Billy

Chicago at the Upper State Fair
and the Spartanburg Fair. Billy
also had the Grand Champion

COUNTY AGENT
4-H members learn by do
ing. This is a practical type
educational program of which
young people over Laurens
county have an opportunity of
becoming part. Projects for the
4-H'ers range from cattle to
sewing, to include home im
provement, landscaping, en
tomology, even bread making.
We have 16 clubs in Laurens
county. Boys and girls ranging
from ages 9 to 19 are eligible.
For rural boys and girls live
stock projects are appropriate-
*ef cattle, dairy and swine. We
isually try to get the boys and
jlrls to select a registered
inlmal so that it may be shown
it local fairs. Young boys and
girls seem to take on the live
animals and they learn alot
about natures way.
All boys and girls, both city
and country, are eligible to join
the club. Those in town could
have projects such as land
scaping, entomology, garden
ing, or dog care and training.
Girls could have any project,
other than livestock, that rural
girls can have.
So 4-H has something for
everyone. Members meet here
at the Agriculture Building the
first Saturday of each month.
If you are interested in join
ing you might contact Mr.
Reeves, Mr. Williams, Miss
Camp, or Mrs. Harrison at 984-
3021.
I was talking with Mr. Ran-
dolf Davis recently about Hog
Cholera. He has been into North
Carolina where they have had
an outbreak of Cholera. He is
very conscious of this disease
and of it’s seriousness. He
asks that I caution all of our
farmers to call the veterina
rian with the least suspicion
of the disease problem. The
government has a program und
er which farmers are paid for
their hogs where an outbreak
occurs. Of course, they do not
)ay for dead hogs. That means
at the first inkling of the di
sease you should call the ve
terinarian. Let’s hope we doon’t
have to contact the veterinarian
for this purpose.
Small grain can be substitut
ed for corn. Considering corn
with a value of 100% barley is
worth 80% to 90% of corn, oats
75% to 85%, wheat 95% to 100%,
grain scrgum 90% to 95%. Of
course, we look for varieties
of corn to be developed that
will be blight resistant. I feel
that small grain can be pro
duced cheaper than corn.
Usually moisture isnotafactor
in small grain production. It
doesn’t require as much fertili
zer, you’re not as concerned
about chemical weed control,
etc. So when you add up all of
the advantages I believe we
can produce small grain cheap
er than corn. I will include the
varieties under timely tips.
