This larger corn production should be brought about., it was suggested, by in- crear.ing the yield per acre rather than by increasing the acreage since the average yield for the state is only 13.6 bushels per acre. That corn is basic to the agri culture of South Carolina is point ed out by the Extension Service workers, in establishing as one goal for 1937 to get farmers to see their corn crop in the light of its va- j rious uses and its real importance rather than merely its cash price on the market. Corn’s value to the famer is first, as furnishing power through feed tor workstock; second, food for the farm family; third, feed for livestock, including hogs, cattle, and poultry; fourth, soil-building through the legumes that are in tercropped with com. The further expansion of the livestock industry, so desirable tor the state, can take place only by increased corn pro duction. Good com farming, extension workers say, calls for more at tention to pure seed of adapted varieties, proper preparation of land, more liberal and intelligent fertilizatio-n, and better methods of cultivation. As a basis for a long-time pro gram of corn production improve ment, suitable record books are being furnished by county agents to farmers who ^vlll cooperate, so that data may be secured on soils, seed, preparation, fertilization, time of planting, cultivation, yields, etc. These records will be studied j by farm management specialists of the Extension Service, and the re sults and conclusions passed on to farmers for the general benefit.

May 15.—Another of Camp Bradley’s oldest Key Men left camp Wednesday when Paul Fain received an appointment as Junior Assistant to Technician at Camp SC S-5, Washington, Geor gia. Fain came to Bradley as Com pany Clerk, later serving as Travel ing Clerk for Captain F. M. John son and as First Sergeant of the Company. Fain will be missed by everyone connected with Camp Bradley but we wish him much success in his new job. Mr. Vernon made one of his reg ular visits Tuesday. On this trip he visited all going projects and found a number of them under the supervision of CCC men. When he asked about this he learned that one small maintenance crew that did all hand work such as re placing sopsoil, building check dams, and cleaning out culverts on Forest Service roads was in charge of Leader Joe Price. Operation of a Wehr Motor Grader that is ma chining Forest Service roads is done by Enrollee Windall Warren; Assistant Leaders Rickenbacker and Byrd have completed the Par son’s Stub Road and Rickenbacker now has a 12-man crew doing landscape work. Enrollees Mondy and McKinney are operating a tractor and road machine that is doing fine grading on the hard surface job on the Flint Road. Having CCC men that are capable of carrying on these jobs did not “just happen” but was brought about by careful planning and training on the part of Superin tendent Allen and his staff. Not only does this enable the camp to operate more economically and efficiently but it is of great bene fit to the men themselves and many have accepted better em ployment and left the camp. The Forest Service personnel at F-7 takes just as much or more pride in these men that they have train ed and sent out in the industrial world as they do in the roads, bridges, and towers they have built; Dr. Wantrop, one of the promi nent Foresters and Agricultural Economists in Germany, visited the Long Ca '.c Unit and Camp F-7 with Mr. Hammett, of the Forest Service office, Washington, D. C.; Regional Forester Joseph Kircher, of Atlanta, Georgia; and Forest Supervisor Sears, of Columbia, S. C. Dr. Wantrop is looking over the forests and methods of handling lands and timber in America and has been spending the first few months in the south.
