Better Com Yields
For South Carolina
Clemson, May 15.—That more
corn should be produced on the
average farm in South Carolina is
a leading recommendation made
by county committees of farmers
and farm women. 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. I

Camp Bradley. 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.
