of this program will come during
Thanksgiving week in November
Director D. W. Watkins of the
Clemson Extension Service, said
here today.
The important time to get ready
for a successful Thanksgiving
Week climaxing the Food for
Freedom program is now<, Director
Watkins declared. This is the time
of year for cannings, preserving
and drying fruits and vegetables
that are available in considerable
quantity in most parts of the
state.
“Where it is not possible / to
fill all family requirements for
current supplies, there may yet
be a chance in connection with
fall gardens,” he said, “especially
if during August plans can be
made to irrigate small garden
acreages against the usual drought
in September and October.
“Fortunately there is plenty of
evidence that most families are

A Late Summer
Proper attention to their live
stock enterprises in late summer
will pay farmers well, says Coun
ty Agent G. W. Bonnette, who
gives these important reminders: ;
Animal Husbandry
1. Full-feed all hogs intended
for September market. 2. Turn
hogs on corn when it is in the
glazed stage. 3. Remove the bull
from the cow pasture. 4. Give
sheep a fresh pasture to control
parasites and encourage early
breeders. 5. See that all elf 3es
of livestock have shade and f sh
water. 6. Reserve enough pe: Fl
uent pasture to carry the ^ef
cattle until November or Drr 'i-
ber. 7. Observe the herdr ‘or
screwworm infestation and ::ive
treatment if necessary.
Dairying
1. August is hay-rrr* ‘.ng
month. Be very careful to cut
at proper stage and cur' so
that the greatest amount of
leaves and green color can be
preserved. 2. Mow pasture to :eep
grasses tender and to kill v :eds.
3. Maintain milk flow by tempo
rary grazing of Sudan grass or
pearl millet or by cutting green
feed. 4. Keep milk products
clean and cool and deliver
promptly. 5. Plan to construct
a trench box, or other type of
Farming Guide
Some of the many phases of
farpi work important for atten
tion in late summer are listed be
low by County Agent G. W. Bon
nette:
Agronomy
1. Plan now for abundant win
ter legumes and legume and
small grain mixtures for soil im
provement. 2. Do not pull fod
der; it is extremely disagreeable
and expensive and it reduces the
yield of corn. 3. Save farm seed
of all kinds for 1943 plantings.
4. We must have more grain, so
plan for the biggest small grain
crop ever planted. 5. Order lime
materials now. 6. Plan to save
every available pound of hay.
Horticulture
1. Plant the fall Victory Gar
den for better farm living. 2.
Be sure to plant large patches
of turnips and other greens, e-
nough for the entire farm. 3.
Plant more beans. A late August
planting often brings a good
price. 4. After peach harvest
cut out all broken limbs, as a
preventive for shot-hole borers.
5. Clean up ground where vege
tables have matured, to lessen in
sect and disease, damage next
season. ^ •
Insects and Diseases
1. Plan now to make next
year’s wheat, oat, and barley crop
as disease-free as possible. 2.
Plow mider old crop remnants
soon after harvest to destroy in
sects. 3. Control bean beetles
with rotenone dust or spray. 4.
Begin cleaning up the orchard
and destroy all fallen fruit. 5.
Clean up all fly-breeding places
and use formaldehyde poison and
traps. 6. Clean corn cribs of all
weevil-infested refuse. 7. Examine
wheat for “weevil” damage and
fumigate if necessary. 8. Requeen
bees.
Agricultural Engineering
1. Get the mower and rake
in good running condition fer
hay harvest. 2. Check over and
repair all types of farm machin
ery while repair parts are avail
able. 3. Use August leisure time
to construct and repair farm
buildings. 4. Make grain storage
buildings rat-proof. 5. Investi
gate the possibilities of installing
running water in the house by
using a hand pump, a hydraulic
ram, or other low-cost system.
6. Also investigate possibilities
of garden irrigation from small
streams.

Many Garden
Friends Among
Bugs And Birds
Clemson, July 31.—Not all bugs
and birds are enemies of the good
gardener, says W. C. Nettles,
entomologist of the Clemson Ex
tension Service. Many are real
friends, he declares.
Chief among the beneficial in
sects in the gardens are the little
lady-bird beetles, commonly call
ed “lady bugs”. These little round
yellow or red insects with black
spots, or black and white with
red or yellow spots, live on plant
lice that affect many vegetables.
Under normal conditions, these
little insects control plant lice.
During cool seasons that favor
the lice and retard the develop
ment of these beetles, the lice
gain headway and often do seri
ous damage. When this happens,
spraying with Black Leaf 40 is
the remedy for the lice.
The common toad, a great eater
of insects, is distinctly beneficial,
in the garden.
Aside from damaging English
peas in the spring and wallowing
on new planted rows, birds sel
dom do other damage to the
garden. Instead they do a lot
towards controlling insects by
constantly eating them or carry
ing them off to their young.
“We must develop a new back
ground for country youth, estab
lish new standards, and arouse a
new point of view.”—Liberty Hyde
ZzMz'j in The Holy Earth.

“Under the stress of war, gar
dening has assumed a new mean
ing, and there is evidence of that
everywhere you go about the
state.”—Dr. R. F. Pocle, Clemscn
president.
