Encouraging Burr Clover
Since the recent publication of the
statement ih The Yorkville Enquirer,
that \V. N. Ashe, brick manufacturer,
and farmer of Van Wyck, Lancaster
county, who also has extensive fann
ing interests on the York County side
of the Catawba river, would give
two bushels of burr clover seed to
every farmer who comes to his farms
rear Catawba Junction after them^
there has beer, quite a flow of far
mers after the seed. Mr. J. H. Din
kins, who manages out of Mr. AsheV
farms i ear Catawba, and who is cus
todian of the burr -novtr seed house,
has been spetid'n.? quite a bit of his
time of late filling up the sacks of
farmers who came after seed. Mrs.
Dinkins is keepng a record of the
name and address of every farmer
who comes aft-i the seed and it
looks like she will soon have to get
a new book of record. All Mr. Ashe
requires is that each farmer who
desires to. try burr clover as a cover
crop, bring his own sack and agree
to sow the Seed on his own premises
i\he' bSg pile of burr clover seed, about
5,000 bushels, is still not exhausted,
according to Mr. Dinkins. ? Yorkville

1K(IK EARLY PLANTING
I'Nmonl Kurmm Would Remedy
Food Crop Situation
Spartanburg:, Sept, 18. ? Planting- of
food foed crops as Quickly a*
possible in order to ameliorate con
ditions brought about by the long
drought in this section was urged at
a meeting of local farmers, bankers
and business men held in the Mont

director of extension of Ciemson col
lege, and Col. Uarr\ D. ( .'alhonn, pros
iident of the South Carolina Bankers'
association. Representatives from fif
teen Piedmont counties attended the
meeting.
Although it is admitted that tho
prolonged dry weather has caused
this section a serious setback, it was
the consensus of opinion that busi
ness and agricultural interests by
standing shoulder to shoulder, would
be' able to overcame the difficulties
of the ensuing year.

agent, Spartanburg, and D. \V. Wat
kins, assistant director of extension,
Ciemson college, drew up the follow
ing suggestions that were adopted
and agreed to by the entire conven
tion.
"1. We urgently recommend to the
farmers the necessity of planting a3
early a possible food and feed crops
not only to take the place of a short
summer crop but to take up the un
used fertilizer in the soil which has
been left there because of the sum
mer drought and is still lying dor
mant; and if not taken advantage
of will leach out during the winter
months. 0
"Some of the crops suggested ai-e
aye, vetch, crimson clover, burr clover
and mixtures of these. On account of
the shortage of corn a large acreage
should be planted in oats so as to
have grain coming on in the early
spring. *
"Unusual attention should be given
to fall and winter gardens.
.
"2. When necessary to reduce herds
and flocks on account of feed short
age the scrubs and mongrels should
be eliminated and the best retained
as a foundation for future live; stock
work.
"3. That meetings be called As soon
as possible in each of the counties of
the Piedmont to determine plans of
action, to meet the present situation
by providing a program that will fit
Hie~need8 of each particular icounty.
At these county meetings a steering
committee of not less than five com
posed of farmers and business men
should be selected to carry into effect
the determination of said meeting.
"4. The steering committee should
be empowered to assist in securing
and furnishing when necessary the
-best obtainable seeds for planting.
"5. That it is of prime importance
and judgment of this convention that
the county meetings provide for com
munity meetings in each county to be
attended by women as well as men.
"6. We defcire to call attention to
the extraordinary opportunity to ex
terminate the t>oU weevil and prevent
'ravages on next year's crop, by de
stroying all- cotton stalks just as soon
as cotton is gathered and cleaning up
ditches and other rubbish and puttipg
tl*e cotton- fields in cover and feed
crdps."

lowest on record, according to the
report issued by the weather bureau
