C., September 11, 194L Dairy Promotion Theme of Meeting, First steps toward promoting greater Interest in dairy (arming in Kershaw county were taken at a meeting o( some thirty dairy (armers of the county in the court room of (he Kershaw county court house Saturdayj morning. The meeting, presided over by ' County Agent W. C. McCarley was addresed by A. E. Vaughan, superintendent of the Horden Dairy company plant at Chester and also P. T.I McKeUor, field man of the Horden | company. Mr. Vaughan. who came to tho1 sopth "from Wisconsin, the nation's leading dairy state, outlined a program whereby farmers who have cows can dispose of their milk to the Horden company. The company he said was prepared to establish a milk route if sufficient milk Is available. In view of the new city ordinance effective October 24th which stipulates ; that only Grade A milk may be sold i in Camden, many of the- dairy farmers | who do not have the means to com* I ply with specified regulations of the1 ordinance will have to seek elsewhere i for an outlet for their milk supply.1 The Borden suggestion will tuke care of these farmers It Is said. I Quite a number of those present at the meeting expressed themselves as I wishing to enlist in the program. Mr. McCarley has asked all to discuss the matter in their various communities and arrange for community meetings and promises to attend these meetings to give complete data on the plan. Later a check will be made to t determine how much milk will be available to tho Borden company, after which definite plans for a route will be discussed. < t Cotton Crop Falls Far Short Census-report shows that 896 bales of cotton were ginned in Kershaw county from the crop of 1941 prior to September 16, 1941, as compared with 2,822 bales for the crop of 1940, according to O.

REDFEARN MOTOR COMPANY A : - - SALES West DeKalb St. r\ Camden, South Carolin* SERVICE ' - ;p Phone 140 Advises Plowing Under Cotton Stalks " The extension service at Clemson, :ounty agent, W. C. McCarley, the joll conservation service and progressive farmers, both large and imall throughout South Carolina, idvocate the early plowing under of he cotton stalks, foliage and unopened bolls just as soon as possible ifter cotton is picked. When this Is done the food supply 'or the boll weevil Is no longer avan ible and many of the boll weevils (till on the cotton stalks and in he cotton fields are destroyed. Plowing under may be done by dlskng the fields or may be accomplished by using a stalk cutter and then urnlng under with a turning plow. , Virtually all agriculturists advocate urning under all cotton stalks not nerely because of the boll weevil, tut also in order that the money pent for fertilising the cotton may te partly salvaged by thus making use if the fertilising value of the cotton talks. Soil conservationists and agricul| ' Jk turists recommended that clean tilled crops, such as cotton, be followed b? a winter cover crop of small grain, Austrian peas, or vetch. The planting of the cover crop should be done between September 15 and October 15, advises H. A. Woodle, agronomist of Clemson College. Care of Livestock / During Fall Season Stressing the Importance of proper attention in October to livestock feeding, breeding, and management problems, County Farm Agent W. C. McCarley makes these suggestions: Animal Husbandry?Sow some small grain (barley, oats, or rye) for winter hog grazing. Castrate pigs ' when they are three to six week of age and use precaution to control tho screwworm. Arrange to feed out a carload of steers and use the manure on the farm. Turn beef cattle on a reserved pasture which has not been grazed during latter of summer. Arrange to purchase purebred beef bulls if need. Observe the herds for screwworm infestation and give treatment if necessary. Da!rylng-~Run cows on hay and corn fields to clean up after harvest. Feed each cow In proportion to milk yield shovrn by milk records. Cull J low-producing cows to avoid wintering them. Increase hay and silage as i pasture grasses die. Secure service < of good purebred bull to make calves 1 more valuable. Lime the pastures. I Plant winter garzlng at once using ] four bushels per acre of a mixture of i small grains with 15 to 20 pounds of i crimson clover or vetch. Poultry?Move pullets to laying | house before they come into full pro- , ductlon. Clean and spray the laying ; house and delouse the pullets before putting them in it. Keep grain before pullets In order to get them in good flesh before coming into egg production. Dispose of any light breed pullets that are not laying by the time they are 6 1-2 months old, heavy breeds, 7 1-2 months old. Select and sell non-laying hens.
