June 25.?South Carolina farmers are learning that labor and money expended in Improving their permanent pastures will give profitable returns, according to C. G. Cushman, extension dairy specialist. It is as essential for pastures to be fertilized as for crops, Cushm.?n points out. Pasture plants respond well to lime and superphosphate ?nd the covers supply needed nitrogen. A minimum of one ton of agricultural lime and 600 pounds of superphosphate per acre, as used in improving pastures on farms in the Sob Conservation service areas, is recont mended. Some farmers also apply staj ble manure and some use side appli| cations of fertilizer. Proper fertilizing and mowing help to control obnoxious weeds. Terraces pmi contour furrow* help W rote in water on the land to provide moisture for pasture grasses. Cooperating farmers have found that extreme care must be exorcised not to graze pastures before they become well established or while the land Is wet. Once a pasture it well established, a moderate grazing will produce a well balanced sod ot grasses and legumes in the mixture. Moat of the rivers of eastern North Carolina went into flood, aUges the first of the week, follosHBg four days of rains over much of the state.

Bwamp grass and other Utter fo? to compost heap. Sow peas, soybeans or velvet beans now and they wt make growth to turn under for soli building. If you do not think the acreage of prospective yields of corn and summer forage crops Is sufficient (or farm needs, plant additional acreage after thorough preparation of the sell. ' Horticulture?Remove all broken and diseased limbs from fruit trees immediately after harvesting. Pull sweet corn shortly before meal time; It loses Its sugar rapidly. Place fruits and vegetables In the shade at once after harvesting, to hold their Qua lty. Make plantings of tomatoes for a fall crop. Insects and Diseases?Spot cotton fields where wilt losses are present. Control tomato Insects and diseases with Bordeaux-lead arsenate spray. Remove and burn corn plants infected with smut. Examine banded apple trees every 10 days and destroy codling moth larvae. Control Mexica bean beetle with derrls dust or spray. Destroy dodder in lespedeza. Watch out for screw worms. Requeen bees. Agricultural Engineering Have a trench silo when silage is ripe. Waste erankcase oil prevents rust when used on plows, discs and other bright parts of farm machinery. Plan to install water system and other farm conveniences. Set sweeps on plows and cultivators for shallow cultivation. Investigate possibilities of small streams for irrigating gardens and . truck. Animal Husbandry?Keep hogs grazing on green forage. Arrange to turn hogs on corn when It Is in the glazed stage. Reserve some permanent pasture to be grazed by beef cattle in late fall and early winter. Feed the workstock three times a day. Change pastures for livestock If possible. Provide shade and fresh water for all classes of livestock. Observe the livestock for screw worm infestation and give treatment, If necessary. Dairying?Mow pastures frequently. Destroy breeding places for files and use skim milk-formaldehyde poison (3 gallons of skimmilk, 1 pint of 40 per cent formalin, 1 pound of sugar) in shallow pans to kill flies. As milk production falls off. supplement pasture with balanced grain mixture. Feed up to two pounds of grain ddily to growing stock to maintain normal growth. Keep milk or cream sold for manufacturing purposes in barrel or tub of cold well or spring water. If retail milk producer with surplus at this season, dry off all low producing cows that are bred for fall freshening. , , Poultry?Keep mash before laying hens; it helps to keep their bodies cool and stimulates egg production. Reduce feed cost by culling pon-layers and not by reducing feed. Keep a grain feed before the pullets and don't start feeding a laying mash until the birds are at least five months old. If troubled with roup or chicken pox in past years, vaccinate pullets when two to four months old.

Sandy Land Farming Success in Lexington I^exlngton, June 25.?James J. Clark, Lexington county farmer, has found that farming even on poor sandy land can be made profitable. He has made a study of his soil and he attributes his success to constant personal supervision over the farm and to crop rotations and the liberal use of fertilizer, according to County Agent R. R. Mellette. In 1937, Mr. Clark produced an average of 30.8 bushels of wheat per acre and 500 bushels of sweet potatoes per acre. The potatoes he sold at an average of 75 cents per bushel. On his cotton crop, in the face of the heavy boll weevil Infestation, he averaged about three-fourths of a bale of cotton per acre. This year the sandhill farmer, having seen the possibilities in sweet potatoes, has planted twenty acres of the Louislania strain of Porto Rlcon potatoes. The plants he grew himself in six home-made flue-heated hot-, beds. Columbia offers him an adequate market for sweet potatoes, many bushels of which will come under the strict requirements of the Sugaryam label. A firm believer in diversification, Mr. Clark grows watermelons, sweet potatoes, wheat, corn and cotton. Thus, he has several cash crops besides such crops as are neded for farm and home use.

The Weevil Menace To Cotton Yields Clemson, June 37.?Reports received from county agents, information gained by talking to farmers and field surveys made by W. C. Nettles, extension entomologlft, indicate that the boll weevil Is a menace to high cotton yields In the Coastal Plains section this year. Plants are too large for early poisoning. A small percentage of farmers are equipped to dust, and they are cautioned to use calcium arsenate dust sparingly so as not to damage soil conditions. Sentiment is strong for picking up squares, and it is really surprising how many farmers are following this practice. Last week one farmer supplied the following data on picking up squares: One boy can cover four acres a day, Actual checkups have shown that a careful person by exerclsing due care can pick up 9$. per cent of the squares which" have fallen. He plans to pick up squares at least once a week for three weeks. Counts showed that he was picking up 1,200 ; live weevils to the acre, a large portion of which would emerge be.fQr?. July 4. " ^ Mr. Nettles advises farmers to ?lvs immediate thought to picking up the squares as a means of y^eevil control, and suggests that the weevils should be destroyed by burning or burying under at least one foot_of soil. 17 CENT8 How a man not far from Laurlnburg who thought the government could help him with plans for building chicken houses and pig pens got involved in a lengthy transaction with his Uncle Sam is told in the following story: On the post office wall he discovered several placards advertising government booklets on how to build chicken coops and pig pens and what not. He selected several he desired, because he was a forward-looking farmer and anxious to improve bis agricultural methods. Prices weie listed and the total came to 26 cents. So he wrote an order for the books and enclosed 26 cents in stamps. Pret. ty soon he received a courteous letter thanking him for his order and saying the booklets would be forwarded, by the public printer. In a few days he received another letter, Returning his stamps and explaining the government couldn't accept stamps, so would he please send poBt office money order or cash. r^Jhe enclosed a quarter and a cent and sent them on to Washington. And he got another letter thanking him for his order and saying the works in question would be forwarded. So far, so good. But a hitch arose, if hitches can arise. Another letter informed him that only one booklet was in stock, which was being sent him. And he had a balance of 17 cents. Would he order more books. . By, this time he bad loBt his enthusiasm for chicken coops and hog pens and desired no more books?and no more correspondence. So he wrote Uncle Sam, requested that his balance of 17 cents be returned to him. In due course he recelved a letter haying his 17 cents couldn't he returned in sucn an o hand manner. The bureau enclosed a blank providing for -a refund o said amount, but it required the at: testation of a notary public. The 0 cal notary demanded 25 cents fee f?r attestation. He, saw no nourishment in paying out 25 cents to regain cents, so he tore up the blank and forgot It. Time marched on. And on? day another letter arrived from Unc e Sam. This one said' the hooks (no the budget) was by way of being ba^ anced, and would the customer p send in his demand for refund (wt notary's signature) and relievo t e government of an embarrassing b uation. He tore up that letter, too. Why lose eight cents plus three postage? He thought the transaction was closed. EvL_?lo! That 17 had the government^up^ft^tree^U? _ it was off the books the nation c? n't proceed. 8o the Collector o ternal Revenue was drawn into y case. He was instructed by Wa8?"
