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.”

PERSONALIA
Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth DeVeise and
two sons, Danny and Boliby, of
Youngstown, Ohio, arrivec. last
week for a visit with Mrs. DeVeise’s
mother, Mrs. V. F. Cook. They will
remain about a month.
Mr. and Mrs. John McComish and
son, Jimmy, of Youngstown, Ohio,
are spending a month with Mrs. Me-
Comish’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. H, D.
Whitaker.
Mr. and Mrs. M. L. Kester, and
grandson David Lee Gartner, have
just returned from North Carolina
where they attended the commence
ment exercises of Lenoir-Rhyne Col
lege at Hickory. While in North Car
olina, they were the guests of Mrs.
Kester’s relatives in* Statesville.
POSTPONE THE CLOSING DAY
With the conditions changing every
day. 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 ?—
