Page a BERRY SUN NEWBERRY FARMERS FOR LAND-USE PLANNING Newberry County farm people led off in the first coordinated county land-use program to be established an the state, with well orgalnized land-use planning committees made up of farm people. On the recommendation of the County Land-use committee 28 new unit-test demonstration farms have been selected by neighboring farmers to demonstrate the value of land-use adjustment in the interest of soil and waer conservaion. Since the program is designed pri marily to improve living conditons and conserve sol resources, the home as well as the farm is considered a part of the demonstration, it is stated. “A five-year land-use cropping agreement has been worked out for each of these farms,” says W. L. Abernathy, Jr., assistant economist in charge of the unit-test demonstra tions. “The first step toward soil im provement is to be made through the application of phosphate limestone to those crops that prevent erosion and restore soil fertility. “The rogram is being conducted by the South Carolina Service and the Tennessee Valley Authority co operating. The TVA furnishes the farmers concentrated phosphatic fer tilizers to apply to pasture grasses and legume crops. The limestone is being obtained through the Triple A grant-of-aid program. To date, this group of 28 farmers has placed orders for 495 tons of limestone. “Ten other unit-test demonstration farms in the county have been operat ing under he general program since the fall of 1938. Several of these farmers have noted considerable im provement in the growth and carry ing capacity of permanent pastures after using the lime-phosphate treat ment. Others report increased stands and growth of legumes and small grains as a result of this treatment.” HEALTH ASSOCIATION MEET Jake Wise, Dr. Claude Sease, John Leitner, and Misses Margaret Schanok, Theresa Leightsey, and Helen Ray Koon from the Health Department, attended the State meet ing of the Public Health Association which was held at Myrtle Beach from Sunday through Wednesday.

With none of us knowing what a day will bring forth, the time for entering political contests in the South Carolina primaries should be postponed to the latest day possible —to August 1 or August 15. This especially should apply to congress ional contests in the six districts. This we say for the stfety of the white primary system. If the entries be closed early and new issues introduced, no one can tell what the disposition of the vo ters will be. If, for example, Au gust 1, the voters should discover that candidates did not represent their views, with -the entries closed, the possibility, if not the likelihood, would be that independent candidates, or candidates nominated by a faction would appear. These are not ardirttry times. They 1 are. *extraordinary times—«iot times to “let things rock,” to let things run in- the old ruts. Can anyone imagine any sound reason that the time of closing the . entries should not be postponed ?— News and Courier. HAL’S ADLETS: FERNS.
