(By Benj. W. Crouch) Wilton E. Britt reports that he got .52 two-horse wagon loads of hay from 10 acres of lespedeza. This lespedeza was not following grain but was planted in the early spring on a well prepared seed bed. It is natural to expect more growth from this method of planting since it is not shaded by grain during March, April and May; however, lespedeza following grain is giving good results all over the county. Many farmers say that lespedeza is one of the best crops we have in this county for grazing or for hay. D. W. Trammell recently signed a conservation farm plan with the Savannah Valley District Super visors. Mr. Trammell knew that his soil was washing x away and with the help of the district pro gram intends to do something a- bout it.

Most Furs And Fur Garments Are Still Subject To OPA Price Control Regulations Most furs and fur garments sold in South Carolina are still subject to OPA Price Control regulations; only high priced fur garments in the extreme luxury class have been eliminated from ceiling prices, ac cording to a statement today bv Melvin S. Harris, District OPA Price Specialist in Columbia. Such furs as grey fox, muskrat, pony, raccoon, squirrel, skunk, etc., representing the majority of fur sales in this area remain under Maximum Price Regulation No. 178. Ceiling prices of furs are based on the same net prafP markup as prevailed in 1941, even luxury class furs will be put back under price controls if prices rise too high, added Mr. Harris. ed new plants. . r ...

Quality in ginned cottor t>a.v; pick clean, store dry, gir care fully, and top your market. There are phosphorus an'* pot ash reserves left in, your cotton fields; plant small grains and make use of them. 1 Now is the time to obtain lime stone—under AAA grants is possi ble.

Smear 62 for screwworm control? See your county agent. Treat all small grain for disease control—apparently new strains of smut even on resistant varieties make it necessary to advise treat ment of all seed oats. As soon as cotton is picked, turn xve stalks under as weevil control at- tte measure in coastal section. Plow under tobacco stalks and other refuse to destroy food and immature stages of insects. Remove dead and dying orchard, trees and limbs and burn them to control insects. Knock off and turn under all peach fruits to aid in disease con trol. Requeen bees. Plant oats to produce feed on wireworm-infested land. X “Farm people should maintain an active interest and leadership I in local, state, and national poli- 1 cies affecting agriculture and farm of people.” — Clemson Extension Di* Set some select- rector D. W. Watkins. September is an important time in livestock management, says County Agent G. W. Bonnette,who lists these reminders for busy farmers. Animal Husbandry Arrange to seed some small grain (barley, rye, or oats) for hog graz ing. Give the brood sow special at tention at farrowing time. The larger the litters the greater the profit. Place sows and litters on land uninfested with parasites. Start hogging down corn as soon as it is in the glazed stage. Cull out the unproductive sows. If plans are being made to feed steers, get feed on hand before buying the cattle. Dairying * Sow small grain for winter graz ing. at least one-fourth acre per cow. Use four bushels per acre of a mixture of oats and barley, with 15 pounds of crimson cloyer or vetch—substitute rye for barley on lighter lands. Feed some grain daily. Dry fall pastures lack nutrients.. Dry up cows due to freshen in October to allow six weeks’ rest. Plan to plant one-half to one acre of oats and vetch, for each cow. to be cut for hay next May. Plant barley on good uplmd soils to substitute for corn in the ration. Use hay-curing racks to help "’•e bright, green-cured, leafy hay.

S. William son, sqpecvisxir, unit test-demon stration farms. Triple superphos phate analyzes 54 per cent in P2 05? therefore the 169.8 tons of this material is .equivalent to 382 tons of 20 per cent superphosphate. This material is being furnished to these farmers for use on 2,002.5 acres of permanent pasture, an nual grazing crops, perennial and annual legumes. The largest item, -85i5 tons, were for use on 856.0 acres of permanent pasture. In applying this phosphate ma terial on the land these farmers are required to use limestone with it imltss the fields being phos- phated have already received lime during the past three years. As a result of this requirement, these 72 farmers planned to use this year 937.6 tons of limestone on the fields to be phosphated. Of the 72 farmers using this ma terial 28 entered: this work for tl>e first time in 1945. Check plots tp show the effectiveness pf lime an£ phosphate have been laid out ty permanent pastures on all. of the hew farms. For those pastures which had never been limed tgip plots were staked, one to recaiyp ho. lime and phosphate and the other to receive lime only; howorvy er, for those pastures that had ready been limed only one plot was staked: Ttlis ope plot is to receive no phosphate. In addition to liming the land and leaving check plots in the fields treated, cooperating farm ers are also required to pay the cost of freight and to keep a com plete record of their farming op erations. ing them from the range.
