County Needs
Rural Water
BY M. I.. OUT/
O i IN'TV AGENT
Extending water int rural
areas, in my judgement, is
basic f t ur cuunty develop
ment.
There is a great rnanyh mies
down 221 S 'uth, ut> uth Harper
Extension, and in the Rocky
Springs area that r ul1 very
well afford a water l:n--. This
is also true u. ..reas .m uind
Clinton, in I.anf r i, poplar
Springs, andPrinct n.and ther
areas.
S mie f these .treas were
looked vt-r last urek ty an
engineering firm from IPck
Hill, along with FilA officials
and citizens in t' .se areas. We
were t Id t: at lid tuve suf
ficient r P'llati >n t I afford a
water system. With that assu
rance we hope t canvas this
area and see if ttie citizens
are 'billing t g thr >ugh with
it.
In mv judgement, w- c.m look
for limited growth unless we do
get water and en >ugh h r future
expansion. It’s just that simple.
WN-'inesday evening, [>ecem-
ber 1', at 7:30 p.m., we plan
to m‘-et here at the Agricultural
Building. Those living in R>cky
Springs area, South Harper Ex
tension, and South on 221, in
particular, are asked to attend.
Of course, anyone, regardless
of wliere you live, is invited.
It is a public meeting. We will
have engineers, along with of
ficials >f the FHA office. So
plan to attend.
An official announcement of
the results of the telephone poll
taken recently has not been
made. However, Clinton, Lau
rens, and Laurens Rural voted
in favor of toll free service.
I am fold it will be something
like 12 to 18 rmwths tefore this
will come true. Our sincere ap-
precution to the many who
helped make it come true.
Last week was a good harvest
week for soytieans and cotton
with the exception of one or
tw ■ c ild mornings. Hie soy-
I’ean and cotton harvest seems
to lie about completed. Cotton,
•■Oiere it was cared Ft properly,
made good yields. Soybeans, due
to the shortage of rainfall in the
fall is short. However the
prices are such that it has
helped a great deal.
I would like to suggest that
lime be ^pp»trri this fall for
your crops next summer. Soy
beans respond to lime and show
a need for it. The best course
to follow, however, is to test
your soil whether it be crop
land, pasture, or whatever.
Get your samples to us as soon
as possible, ‘Go Tiger’
