X Extension Circular On Wartime Fertilizers Clemson, Dec. 15.—^Extension Cir cular 224, Wartime Fertilizer Rec ommendations for South Carolina, prepared by Extension Agronomist H. A. Woodle and Extension Horticulturist E. H. Rawl, is ready for distribution by county agents and the Clemson Publications De- T WELL, WELL, HOW'S THE // PRETTY 600D LITTLE' SICK BOY? ^POP? SAY,DlDNT YOU OSTA TELL ME partment. Aiming to help South Carolina farmers maintain the 1942 pro duction record they set in food, feed, and fiber, despite labor, ma chinery, and fertilizer shortages, the circular offers emergency recommendations to meet the lack of available nitrogen " in 1943. Chemical nitrogen is to be allo cated to farmers according tc past usage and production of the most vital crops. There now seems to be suffi cient potash and phosphate for 1943 needs, provided transporta tion difficulties do not interfere with distribution. In discussing fertilizer recom mendations for the chief field crops, the authors say: “It is possible that additional fertilizer grades may be added to the approved list of grades for South Carolina, but generally speaking, for his 1943 crop a farm er will not be able to buy as much nitrogen in his complete fertilizer as usual, though he should be able to buy his normal tonnage. “Recommended rates per acre are not given, chiefly because the rate of application will be governed largely by the amount of fertilizer which a farmer can obtain, the acreage and kind of crops to be grown, and the farmer’s past fer tilizer practices. The practice of side- or top-dressing should be followed as usual, with readily available nitrogen (or potash) used according to previous ex perience, preceding crops, and supplies of such materials as can be obtained. “It will be noted that two of the approved grades for South Carolina are not included in the 1943 recommendations. These grades are, (1) 3-8-5, and (2) 4- 8-4. The 3-9-6 and 3-9-9 are recommended in place of the 3-8- 5; the 4-8-6 and 4-8-8 in place of the 4-8-4. The 4-12-8 is suggested in place of the 4-12-4 when extra potash is considered advisable.” X Opportunities Offered Negroes In The Navy Information has been received at the Greenwood Navy Recruiting Substation that negroes 17 years of age who meet the physical and educational requirements may still enlist in the U. S. Navy as ap prentice seaman. According to information received from the Main Navy Recruiting Station at Columbia, South Carolina. Due to the urgent need of negro mess attendants the Naval Re cruiting Service stated that all negroes between the ages of 17 and 50 who are qualified can be enlisted in that branch of service. All interested persons are asked to make immediate application at the nearest Navy Recruiting Sta tion before getting a release from their Local Selective Service Board. A traveling recruiting party will be in McCormick at the Court House every Tuesday.
