ered continuous service for 31 years,
With this issue, The Advertiser
embarks upon a new year. Found
ed in 1836, it has rounded out its
97th year, one of the longest and
leanest years of its entire existence.
But having emerged victorious from
wars, panics and depressions in the
past, it hopes to survive this one,
the most grinding of all seasons of
depression.
Not another paper in South
Carolina has completed its 97th
year of continuous service without
a change of name or a change of
identity in any manner. In this
connection, it may be noted, too,
that The Advertiser has had only
two editors in the past 59 years.

seed from a reliable seed breeder.’’

Shows Bermuda
Pasture Value For
Milking Cows
CLEMSON COLLEGE, Feb. 13.—
Under seasonal conditions similar
to those of the growing period of
1932, it appears that good Bermuda
pasture, when supplemented by
barn feeding at the rate of one
pound of grain to three pounds of
four per cent milk, will give ex
cellent results and a high net re
turn per acre, says Prof. J. P. La-
Master, chief of the Dairy Division
of the South Carolina Experiment
Station. Explaining the test lead
ing to this conclusion Prof. La-
Master says:
“In 1932 we conducted a grazing
test at Clemson College, using
heavy-producing cows at the rate
of one cow per acre on a pure Ber
muda sod started in the spring of
1930 by using roots. The only soil
treatment was the application of
11-2 tons of ground limestone per
acre applied in the spring of 1931.
“The barn feeding of grain
throughout the grazing period of
210 days, from April 20 to Novem
ber 16, averaged one pound of grain
to 2.9 pounds of milk testing four
per cent butterfat. A simple for
mula was used for converting milk
of various butterfat tests to a four
per cent basis.
“The results show that the cows
averaged 37.9 pounds of four pev
cent milk daily. At prevailing feed
prices, which include the grain
mixture of equal parts by weight
of corn and cob meal, ground oats,
wheat bran, and cottonseed meal
at $20.00 per ton, the bam feeding
cost was 43.8 cents per 100 pounds
of four per cent miik, or 11.3 cents
per pound of butterfat.
“The value of grazing received
from the pasture, figuring four pep
cent milk at 80 cents per 100
pounds, was $28.39 per acre.
“The nutrients received from
pasture, figured in terms of their
equivalent in alfalfa hay, were
equal to a yield of 2.04 tons of al
falfa hay per acre.”

CLEMSON COLLEGE, Feb. 13.—
Interest continues to grow in bet
ter pastures to provide grazing for
more livestock, as may be seen from
these typical reports from county
farm agents.
A co-operative order was placed
for a ton of carpet grass seed to
be used on the lowlands for pas
ture. More than 59 farmers have
planted carpet grass during the
past few years and are finding it
entirely satisfactory for pastures.—
S. M. Byars, Anderson.
In 1927 only 21 pounds of carpet
grass seed were ordered; in 1928,
486 pounds, sufficient for 60 acres;
in 1932, 1732 pounds, 220 acres: in
1933, to date, 800 pounds. Cattle
are grazing green carpet grass now,
although we have had rather sev
ere winter.—C. B. Cannon, Laur
ens.
We have ordered 5630 pounds o!
carpet grass seed, 5500 pounds oi
lespedeza, 1200 pounds of dalla
grass seed, which will be sown on
1000 acres of pasture lands during
the spring.—E. C. Turner, Jr.
Greenwood.
Several hundred acres of pastun
land have in recent years been
planted in this county, mostly car
pet grass and common lespedeza.—
J. P. Graham, Jasper.
There is much interest in pas
tures, and a comparatively large
area of new pasture land is being
prepared for grass and clover seed-
ing.—Claude Rothell, Saluda.
Small grain where seeded early
in the fall for grazing purposes has
offered an abundance of grazing in
Chesterfield. G«T. Little on four
acres with a mixture of oats, wheat,
and rye has had grazing for 15
head of hogs since November 1.—
W. J. Tiller, Chesterfield.

Sod Saves Soil
A heavy rain at the soil erosion
experiment station near Tvler ' rav
recently washed from cotton fields
on moderately sloping land more
, than 6 tons of soil per acre, reports
I the United States Department of
I Agriculture. At the same time
only 11-2 tons of soil was removed
! where the land was planted to les
pedeza, the slope and soil being the
same. No soil was removed from
fields of the same kind sodded to
grass. These rates of soil loss were
determined by actually measuring
| the eroded material from experi
mental plots.
