It is a very simple job to prop
erly prepare land for Kudzu and
land well prepared will pay divi
dends in getting the stand es
tablished. Lay off rows twenty-
five feet apart and apply 200
pounds of acid phosphate in the
furrow. Then, bed on this with
a turnplow until you have a bed
ten feet wide. Let this bed settle
or drag it with a harrow. Now,
with a good “middle buster”, run
a furrow ten inches deep
slightly to one side ..of the
center of the bed. JPlace good
kudzu crowns against one side in
this furrow so that the buds are
even with the top of the ground.
Then, with a turnplow, } throw
two furrows from the other side
of your open furrow. It won’t
hurt to cover the crowns with 2
inches of loose dirt when you bed
on the crowp&j
One very important ^ point
should be remembered in any
method of planting kudzu. That
is, to take special care of the
crowns to see that they do not
dry out or freeze. The safest
plan is to get the land ready and
then you can plant the crowns
as fast as they are dug. Several
farmers in adjoining counties
have old stands of kudzu which
should yield 10,000 good crowns or
more to the acre. Several plant
ing demonstrations will be held
over McCormick County and if
you plan to set out kudzu during
the winter, you should attend, one
of these demonstrations. The AAA
is announcing a payment of $6.01
per acre for establishing kudzu
during the 1944 AAA year which
began December 1st. This shoull
enable all McCormick County
farmers to get out all the kudzu
to provide the particular farm
with a continuous supply of good
hay .to, meet the farm needs.
All Agricultural Agencies in. th?
county are cooperating with the
Soil Conservation District Super
visors in their attempt to get oil-
suitable land set to kudzu, so if
you want help in making plans;
for your individual crop, ask anu
Agricultural Worker in the coun
ty.

ned and arranged a center decor
ation for a dining table; another
group set the dining table the
proper way; and the last group
cooked cake to serve the other

room with paint given to us by
Mrs. J. J. Dorn.

HOME ECONOMICS DEPART
MENT ENTERTAINS
The Home Economics Class had
a kitchen shower Friday after
noon, February 18, 1944 in the
Home Economics Room at the Mc
Cormick High School.
The members of the department
wish to extend their thanks to
everyone for the useful gifts they
received and to let everyone
know that they are still not com
pletely equipped. If you have any
donations to offer, they would be
deeply grateful to you.
The Home Economics Depart
ment is very young here, but it
is growing daily.
The girs have learned the basic
stitches used in sewing, and have
used them too in making the cur
tains for the room and in mak
ing their pinafore aprons, which
they will use In their food classes.
Now the girls are in the midst
of planning menus to meet the
daily calory requirements for a
school girl. It won’t be long be
fore they can cook and serve
these meals.
Along with their food studies,
the girls have made some inter
esting and educational posters on
Vitamins, Minerals, Proteins, Fats,
and Carbohydrates. Prizes of
War Stamps were given to the
girls making the best posters.
What used to be Mrs. Faulk
ner’s Math Classroom is now e-
quipped with two Singer sewing
machines, a six-burner oil stove,
sink, cabinet, tables, and chairs.
We certainly are proud of our
Home Economics Department.

under the direction of Mrs. Mc-
Dill and Mrs. Talbert, are re
hearsing a little playlet, which

“I think that the question of
food, or the adequate nutrition of
all the world, will be found at
the very heart of the problem of
peace, and the way that problem
is handled may decide the course
of world history.”—Mary G. Lacy*
in Land Policy Review.
