McCORMICK MESSENGER, M^6rMICK, SOUTH dillofeiQHA ’ Thursday, 1W : Wl i 'r I»'r. n -aam Conservation News f rr^ \ *'(\ * \T <By Benj. W. Crouch and O. W. Bonnette) Mr. L. C. Talbert Is f'asic slag on his kudzu, and pasture. He is putting about 000 pounds to the acre on 5 acres <ij two-year old kudzu, 400 pounds to the acre on 15 acres of permanent pasture and 400 pounds to the acre on 2 acres of sericea. The kudzu field will be disced as soon as the land will do to 7 >low. This field will be used for rupplementafy summer grazing. Basic slag is a by-product of the steel mills and contains phos- orus. magnesium, calcium and Iron. It supplies the necessary dements to produce grasses, clovers and permanent hay rich essential minerals needed to grow strong, sturdy, big boned “«lthy anmials. If the pasture is usually the case in pastures which have been grazed exten sively, apd soils whicp are natur ally deficient in these minerals, the livestock is bound to suffer. Similar results may be attained by an application of lime, and spread phosphorus. ^ sericea ^ Victory Gardens In Fight For Freedom Clemson, March 4. — Comment ing again ^n a matter discussed at the State Victory Garden Com mittee last month — the current misconception that there is less need for food in r94‘4 than there was in 1943—A.

The 20 million gardens in 1943 produced 8 rnillion tons of food worth a half billion dollars. That despite the inexperience of be- *nr“rs who were about one-third of the total. The 22 million gardeners now being enlisted for the 1944 ' it for food should produce 10 1- lion tons of food, 25 per cont more than in 1943. This pr' c- tion and consumption on 1 he home family front releases i 'd, transportation, and other f’cili- ties for food needs elsewhere. On the need for food, Mr. Schilletter quotes a War r )od Administration statement that puts the matter in a nutshell- “American food today is fi ,ht- ing for freedom throughout the world; feeding our Army. Law, and Marines on more than 60 battle fronts: sustaining our civil ian population in the job of break- inpr the war production records; giving new strength and vigor to |.i our allies as they carry the ugnt to the enemy; ' and helping to supply the food needs of our ter- -itories and friendly neighbors. “Our food must continue to do all these things. But it also must help rehabilitate the people lib erated from Axis oppression until heir own lands can again sus tain them. “All these people need our food to help them work toward a speedy victory and a lasting peace. Hence our food is a wea pon of war.” Good Chicks De serve Good Care Says County Agent The raisin 0 of a large percent age of chicks depends upon hav ing good quality chicks at the tart; following strict sanitary 'recautions; keeping the brooder t the right temperature; and u-s- ng the right kind of feed, says County Agent G. W. Bonnette. Thousands of chicks are los* each year by brooding them on ground which has become con taminated with germs causing pullorum disease, coccidiosis, and eggs of intestinal worms. It i> especially desirable, therefore, that the quarters for baby chicks be clean and the brooder house be moved to new ground each year. Organisms that cause these troubles may live in the ground from season to season. So it is essential that the chicks be brooded on ground where chicles have net been raised the y nr before. The brooder house should '2 built on runners so it car moved to clean ground v ready to start the brooding • • - eon. The ceiling, the walls, • u the floor should be swept c :- fully and scrubbed with lye a.'id •.vjiU**- One can of iye to 15 gal- i ::: water is one of the - best disinfectants, to use. If you do not have suitabl quarters to brood your chick: build a house now, the county a gent advises. Plans for the con struction of a brooder house ai outlined in Clemson College Es tension Circular 116, The Porta ble Brooder House, which may t obtained from county agents c the Publications Division at Clem son.
