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.

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.

says O. M. 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.”

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.
Asparagus __ 75 lbs (after 3 season)
Beans (green) 1 1-2 bushels
Beans (dry) 5 to 8 bushels
Beets 1 1-2 bushels

Care Of Livestock
During February
the loadings.
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.

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.

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
