FARM CALENDAR FOR
DECEMBER GUIDANCE
Even in December fnrmei'H must
keep busy with important activities,
chiefly looking towards the future,
aays County Agent W. C. McCarley,
who lists these brief HUggeationa:
Agronomy ? Weather permitting
turn heuvy hoIIh that have no cover
crops. Put cotton under cover to
prevent less of $8 or more per bale.
Clean up briars anil plum thlckola
around edges of holds, lied down
stalls and barns with leaves, pine
needles, or grain straw; the bigger
the manure pile the smaller the fertilizer
bill. Continue to build artificial
or synthetic manure pens. This
la a good time to put out lime.
Horticulture?Prune fruit trees and
bunch grapes. Make garden plana,
got catalogs, and order seeds before
seedsmen are out of desirable varieties.
If fruit trees have not already
been ijet. do so this month; fall or
winter planting in the South is preferable
to early spring planting. Prepare
hotbeds for sowing in January.
| Propagate grapes and ornamental deciduous
shrubs from new cutting. Torrace
all land to be planted to peaches
before trees are set. Make plans to
grow more food for National Defense.Insects
and Dlseasos?Observe how
well long, close-fitting shucks prbtect
corn against weevils. Burn orchard
prunlngs to destroy shot-hole borers.
Burn twigs severed by girdlers. Apply
lime sulfur or oil emulsion dormant
sprays after trees are completely
dormant. Apply non-poisonous dust
to control cattle lice.
Agricultural Engineering?Check
over all farm machinery and order
needed repair parts now. Store cultivating
machinery and grease parts
that at^e likely to ruaL In operating
tractor during winter months follow
manufacturer's Instruction book regarding
"Suggestions for Cold Weather
Operation". Use disk harrow for
cuttlng-ln cotton stalks and other vegetable
matter. Blow up terraces so
they will have time to settle before
the spring planting season.
Make The Pullets Lay
Flock owners of Kershaw county
who want to make their pullets most
profitable must keep an eye on them*
until the whole flock comes into production,
says County Agent W. C. McCarley,
urging poultrymen to help
themselves in helping to attain the
county's goal in the Farm Defense
program. >
If the more aggressive pullets keep
others fought off from the feed hoppers,
provide additional feed hoppers,
the agent suggests first. In some
cases, it might be well to put some of
the less aggressive pullets in a pen to
themselves.
With high feed prices only vigorous
healthy pullets should be kept for layers.
So cull late-producing and sickly
looking hens.
After the birds go to roost, see if
certain parts of the roosting space are
avoided because of drafts or other
reasons. It may be necessary to place
some of the pullets on the roost at
night until they get the habit of going
on.
If there is a large number of floor
eggs, put in additional nest*}. If there
is one nest to every four or five hens,
the trouble may be corrected somewhat
by darkening the nests, making
them deeper, or hanging some feed
bags about 18 inches in front of them.
Or put the nests on the floor until the
pullets get accustomed to using them.

SMALL FARMER S PART
IN DEFENSE PROGRAM
Clouiaou, tyov. 29.?"The small lar.
n\er with h limited acreage can make ^
a contribution to national defense that. i
is just as important us that of the hit*'
commercial producer", saya Director ,
1). W. Watklns of the (Tomson College1
Extension Service and a member of J
the South Carolina \'S1>A Defense
lioard.
The government haw asked farmers (
throughout the country tc? step up,1
production of certain foods to record
proportions in 1942, as a vital pari of
this nation's effort to defeat Hitler-,
ism. Principal increases have been j
asked In the production of milk, eggs, |
chickens, pork, food crops, fruits and
vegetables for drying and canning,]
and peanuts for oil.
"When the small farmer in Kershaw j
county Increases his output of milk
or eggs for home use". Mr. Wat kins
declares, "he is making a very definite
contribution to tho Farm Defense
Program."
_ Director Watklns outlines three
ways in which the small fa'rmer can
contribute to defense by increased
production:
By producing more of the foods
which ho has normally been buying,
ho releases those amounts for defonso
uses.
When these foods are produced on
tho farm, rather than having to be Imported
from other areas, this also releases
the transportation systems for
hauling vital defense materials.
Home-produced foods insure better
diets for tho people lviing on the
farm, and better-fed people are a
necessary part of national defense.
"Of course", Mr. Watklns continues,
commercial poultry and dairy farms
and cattle, hog, vegetable areas but
these farmers alone cannot supply
what Is required In 1942. The small
farmer Is going to have to pitch in
and do his part."
