State's 4-H CltTbs
Honor Constitution
Clenison, Jan. 23.?Community 4-H
?1 libs in South Carolina will join with
those over the nation in helping to
celebrate the sesqutrontennial of the
Constitution of the United States.
February, the birth month of George
Washington, will be the month of
most of these patriotic programs of
the 4-H cluhsters.
To this end Dan Lewis, state boys'
club agent, and Leon Clayton, the assistant
agent, are sending out suggested
programs and supplying special
literature and other materials from
the American Tree Association, Washington,
I). C.. and the Extension Service.
of Cleinson College. With these
special mail rials local clubs will I
stage different types of celebrations'
arranged by local 4-H lenders and '
presidents and local 4-H communil} '
committers in cooperation with county
agents.
A feature of these Constitution ? el
ebrations will be the setting of ornamental
trees on pnblie grounds, 4-H
forest plant tugs, and such. In the
setting of those trues the 4-H club
member* will observe the fourteen
points in ornamental tree planting as
outlined by t he American Tree Association
und thus learn the principles
of successful tree planting.
Mr. IniwiH and Mr. Clayton urge
that every 4-H community club in
South Carolina Join in this national
celebration. They suggest also that
the scsquiceiitenninl plantings be registered
on the national honor roll of
the American Tree Association. This
is done by notifying the association,
giving the name and address of the
planting club, the date of planting,
and the kind of planting ?whether it
is a single tree, a memorial avonuo,
a communitj forest, or whatnot.

Kudzu Proving Fine
For Erosion Control
Kudzu vinos, which have been found
to ho very valuable for controlling
gullies and other severely eroded
areas, are going to he a more familiar
Might in South Carolina. \
The Soil Conservation Service has
allotted 1,060,000 kudzu crowns for
erosion-control plantings la demonstration
and camp areas in the state
and these demonstration plantings
ure expected to result in widespread
use of the vine for erosion control.
Although kudzu has been used as
a shade vine for porches antf has
grown along hedge rows and In gullies
for twenty-live years or more In the
southeast, It has been used only to a
limited extent us a cultivated plant,
agronomists point out.
The demand for dense-growing
perennial vegetation for erosion control
hus resulted in greatly increased
interest in methods of establishing
stands of kud/.u, particularly on budly
eroded slopes where conditions ure
unfavorable for plant growth.
Strong first-year growth has boon
shown to he dependent on proper land
prepurution, fertilization, careful
plunting, and first-year cultivation.
Plantings made on poorly prepared
lund without fertilizer have made little
growth during the first two years
and in many cases have been virtually
choked out by broomsedge.

HERE is an action picture
of the famous Sultr, the
poi nter who swept everything
before her at National
Field Trials of 1936 at Grand
Juhction, Tenn. Sulu, the queen
of them all!*
Thousands of bird dogs range
the fields... but there's only oi*e
Sulu. To this glorious creature
Nature gave her greatest gift, a
perfect balance of the vital elements;
speed, scent, endurance,
instinct and intelligence. Another
pointer may be just as good
to look at, but Sulu has that vital
spark?every thing in perfect bal
ance. Sy Sulu is the queen; the
other is just a dog.
Just as Nature favqred Sulu, ' ?'
she favored Natural Chilean Ni.
trate of Soda. Just as Sulu has
many elements in Nature's balance,
so has this nitrogen fertilizer.
Nature aged and blended
into Natural Chilean, more than
thirty "impurities", or vital elements
that your crops need to
grow and to produce their bfcst.
These vital elements are in
addition to Natural Chilean's
quick-acting nitrogen. That's
why Natural Chijean is so good
for your land and your crops.
