Sev eral recommendations have been made by the Grand Jury with reference to this in the last few years with no results. We again wish to recommend that a telephorfe be installed in the office of the County Super visor.

Kudzu Is Not A Pest; Is Easily Controlled That kudzu is not a pest but is easily controlled is good news to McCormick County farmers who are interested in the use of this crop for soil saving, grazing, and hay. While kudzu will “take” the ground where it is planted and al lowed to grow, contrary to public belief it may be killed out without great trouble. Kudzu does not propagate by underground roots or runners, but must depend upon taking root at the joints of above ground runners. Each kudzu root cr crown sends out several shoots or vines. Thesa shoots trail on the ground or * climb any available support. They have been known to grow 70 feet in one season. Since kudzu is a hot weather plant, its growth is delayed in the spring until the ground becomes warm and stops with the first killing frost. The shoots or vines that lie on the ground take root at the joints if the soil is moist and the contact good, and in this manner new plants are established. When a field is well set with plants in this way and the growth becomes thick, new, erect, tiny stems go out from the main runners and the mass of stems and leaves may reach a depth of two to four feet. When the plants are cut or grazed, new shoots are put on. A kudzu crop is easily killed out by overgrazing or by following with a cultivated crop. The plowing necessary for weed con trol in any cultivated crop is suf ficient to break the roots of the vine and thus prevent the forma tion of new plants. Extension Circular 164, “Kudzu in South Carolina, Its Value for Forage, Grazing and Soil Improve ment”, may be secured from the county agent’s office. D. Austin Shelley, County Agent_
