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. ^

national plans.
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.
