Timely Crops Calendar For The February Guidance CLEMSON COLLEGE, Feb. 1.— Important suggestions for Febru ary guidance are given by R. W. Hamilton, agronomist; E .H. Rawl, horticulturist; Alfred Lutken, en tomologist; and J. T. McAlister, ag ricultural engineer. Agronomy Manure is one of the best fertil izers^ Make, save and use more of it. Study your soil and past fertiliz er treatment and save money by adjusting this year’s fertilizer to plant needs. Save money by home-mixing whatever fertilizer you are using. Horticulture Plant strawberries, dewberries, blackberries. Set out grape vines, fruit trees, and ornamental plants. Plant asparagus and Irish pota toes; transplant cabbage. Plant celery, kale, lettuce, must ard, onions, parsley, peas, radishes, spinach, and turnips. Plant in hot beds, eggplant, to- r. Insects and Diseases Spray grapes with three pounds of bluestone in 50 gallons of water for a general clean up. Work tobacco beds with disin fected tools, destroy nearby weeds, and protect from insects with cheese cloth. Disinfect potatoes before plant ing and sweet potatoes just before bedding. Apply dormant orchard spray of lime sulphur to control scale in sects and disease. Destroy trash and weeds to kill hibernating insects. Agricultural Engineering Plan to dower production costs by efficient use of labor and pow er through machipery. Order repairs and get machines ready for spring. Two-mule disc harrows may be used to advantage in place of stalk cutters. Use drag chain on two-mute plows to turn under stalks and oth er material. Build terraces and provide good outlets for water. v_*xt r Meriwether-Clarks Hill H. D. Club Meets Slash Pine Seedlings Will Produce Good W ood-Products Slash pine seedlings for reforest ation purposes are creating an ac tive interest among many ’andown- ers and farmers in the South who are planting slash pine on idle, abandoned farm lands. In South Carolina since January, 1932, the State Forestry Commission l^as dis tributed at cost over 70,000 slash pine seedlings for reforestation purposes within the State. According to N. T. Barron, As sistant State Forester in charge of Planting in South Carolina, new uses and better utilization methods are bringing the slash pine more directly to the attention of the far mer and landowner in the South. Slash pine is receiving increased recognition from the naval stores operator, who is looking forward to greater yields of'resin in a shorter producing period. According to the U. S. Forest Service, slash pine 9 inches in diameter is ready for turpentining in from 18 to 25 years. Naval stores operators or farm ers engaged in that business should seriously consider the advisability of planting slash pine seedlings, on their worked-out and abandoned naval stores operations and idle lands in the Coastal Plain sections. The paper manufacturing indus tries of the United States, accord ing to the forester, are seeking new raw material for the manufacture of newsprint or “white paper.” Dr. Chas. Herty, Industrial Chemist, states that slash pine, especially second-growth, possesses excellent qualities fitted for the manufac ture of “white papers.” This will mean a new industry in the South. Over 62 per cent of the slash Arthur Brisbane said in a re- I pines planted in the State last year cent column that the housewives survived, and survival per centages should have a mirrow placed con- went as high as 92 per cent, veniently In the kitchen—to save Applications for trees should be steps—so when Mrs. Stallworth, made through the State Forestry who had braved the impassable, Commission, Columbia, S.

Clark, extension econ omist in farm management, dis cussing the importance in the pres- |ent circumstances of an intelligent outlook on agricultural and eco- Inomic conditions for farmers. ' To provide farmers with such £ guide in brief form, the Extension Service has prepared, under Mr Clark’s direction, Circular 117, “Ag ricultural Outlook for South Caro- jlina 1932,” now ready for free dis- I tribution by the county farm agents and the Division of Publications, Clemson College, S. C. This 16- [ page publication, which can be read in a half hour, is compact with brief but meaty facts, figures, and suggestions covering, first, the gen- | eral situation, credit for production, and farm planning in the light of the outlook; second, the status of cotton, tobacco, and other cash crops; third, a consideration of livestock, dairying, poultry, and feed crops for all animals. Regarding farm planning in the light of the outlook, Mr. Clark urges that “This is no time to ex periment with entirely new farm programs. Changes should be made slcwly, farmers gaining experience ani establishing a marketing sys- te:n as the changes are made. Ord inarily it is not wise to take up a new enterprise with the idea of j ca Tying it a 'year or two and then [dropping it. It would seem wise, in all cases, for farmers to make plans to keep down cash expendi tures as far as practical and eco nomical.” X In their three and a half cen turies of contact wi^h the white race the manner of living of the [ Hopi Indians has changed very lit tle. Should members of the family be especially fond of particular vege tables, larger than average amounts of those crops could be provided. As a guide for the convenience of less experienced gardeners, Mr. Schilletter gives below the probable yield of the important vegetables for each hundred feet of row. These figures based on normal production will help gardeners to know what amount of space to give for the amounts desired. Allowances should be made, he says, for prob able drought and for canning and storage, as well as daily use. Vegetable Yield per 100 ft.

Discussing the value of this ser vice to farm flock owners, Mr. Prince points out that in 1929, 150 cars moved from this state netting growers $650,000. In 1930 and 1931 prices obtained on local markets were so neqr the New York prices that fewer out-of-state shipments were necessary to care for the sur plus and stabilize the market. This tendency to stabilize the market within the state is illus trated, Mr. Prince says, in recent turkey shipments. In December turkeys were selling as low as 12 cents per pound in outlying sec tions, but shipments to out-of- state markets helped to advance prices to 20 to 25 cents per pound, so that it is safe to assume that this marketing work boosted the local prices of turkeys by an aver age of five cents per pound and kept the local markets from great variations. • tXl Death Colored Woman t CLEMSON COLLEGE, Feb. 1.— For early spring care of livestock brief timely hints are given below by Prof. L; V. Starkey, animal Hus bandman; C. G. Cushman, dairy specialist; and P. H. Gooding, ex tension poultryman. Animal Husbandry Feed bred sows liberally a well balanced ration and give exercise. Remember the high market us ually comes in March and April so feed hogs well on corn and fish meal or other balanced ration Give ewes extra care at lambing with exercise and ample legume hay, and if thin some grain. Feed mules to be in good flesh at plowing time. Feed breeding beef cattle to maintain weight until grass comes, and those fattening for market a well-balanced, gradually increas ing grain ration. Dairying Breed as many cows as possible during February for calving in No vember and early December. Plan abundance of home-growr feed for 1932-1933 winter feeding. Continue to repair fences, clear up the lots and grounds, and white wash out-buildings and fences. Watch calves and yearlings fb: lice, which at this season do great est damage. v Provide for each mature cow: Legume hay, two tons; corn, eigh. bushels; velvet beans, 420 bushels oats, 15 bushels; four sacks cot tonseed meal; permanent pasture two acres; soiling crops, one-fourtl acre. Poultry Put brooding equipment in work ing order. Hatch chicks at the proper time^ or place order with a reliable hatchery for delivery date desired. Provide clean range for chicks and pullets. Hold haching eggs not over 10 days before setting. Irene Goode Mims, aged 18 years, died at her home near Troy at 4:30 o’clock Monday afternoon, follow ing a short illness. Burial will be made at New China church this morning at 11 o’clock. J. S. Strom’s service in charge. The New Dollar During 1931 the value of the dol lar climbed from an average of 128.8 cents in January to a high of 149.9 cents for the week ending De cember 24. Thus, the steady .de cline in commodity prices has done much to offset other factors of the depression. x ’ A Chicago bride who thought her husband was a prosperous business man came down town one day and found him sitting on the street cor ner with a tincup. Probably she would have been less shocked and surprised had she found him din ing with a couple of flappers. txx High "school children in Prussia devote one day a month to a walk ing trip.
