De la Howe Takes Twin Bill From Abbeville . s Conservation News -V : “v / \i (By Benj. W. Crouch) j 1 1 l.h * »u •flM- flli : ’ ipilfl I* i /, " v * i, ■: '• . .. I itl P The girls’ and boys’ basket-ball teams of De la Howe won both ends of a double-header with Ab beville in the De la Howe gymna sium Friday night, January 28. Although the Abbeville - girls fought gamely throughout the game, they were completely out classed by a fast charging and sharp-shooting De la Howe team. De la Howe used its complete squad and substituted frequently. The fjnal score of the game was 53 to 7. The Abbeville boys, playing their first game this season, showed remarkable promise of de veloping into a first-class aggre gation. The De la Howe boys came out on the long end of a 31 to 16 score. However, this score does not indicate the keen competi tion which existed between the two teams. The game was excit ing and the final result was in doubt until the end of the third quarter. The Abbeville victories give the De la Howe girls their fourth win out of five games and give the De la Howe boys their sixth consecutive victory of the present season. This picture shows a group of farmers from McCormick and ad joining counties seeing Kudzu hay being harvested on Olin E. War ner’s farm with ordinary farm e- quipment. Picture by courtesy of Greenwood. The Bank Twenty one McCormick County farmers have bought 61,500 Kud zu crov/ns to plant this year and take advantage of the AAA pay ment of $6.00 per acre. These crowns will'plant 121 acres, and will produce a constant supply of good, cheap hay for these men for years to come. Several of these men, including J. F. Dunlap, Omerle Bouknight, J. L. Bracknell, John Wilkie, W. L. Coker, W. L. White, Ken Dow- tin, L. C. Talbert, E. C. Cheatham and Ernest Hanvey, have some Kudzu now and are increasing their acreage. Others, including D. M. Wardlaw, J. W. Morrah, De la Howe School Farm, C. E. Wilkie, H. M. Freeland, J. M. Gibert, J. T. Link, R. H Petti grew, E. L. Hollingsworth and Paul R. Brown, are putting out Kudzu for the first time. • Besides taking advantage of the AAA payment and the new plant ing method which requires little labor, these men are planning for a good part of their farm hay needs from this crop which wiT allow them to use their annual hay crop as soil improving. Kudzu provides excellent grac ing during the hot, dry summer months when pastures dry up and provide little feed. Planting Kudzu on the steeper land nex . to the pasture may. be fenc"' 1 with very little trouble and at th"? same time keep the soil on th i steeper land from washing dow i and “sanding” up good pastures. If you are interested in gettim some Kudzu started on your farm, get in touch' with your county agent or soil conservation service representative. Remember — You Always Save At...
