We will refinance your present car so as to reduce your pay ments—or We will niake you a loan on the car you now own. The firs* complete one-day soil conservation demonstration farm school held today at the Harry W. Shealy farm near Newberry was con sidered a success from every stand point by the 1,036 farmers and agri cultural leaders that attended it from all over the Piedmont section' of the state. The attendance exceeded all expectations, as did the practical demonstrations and lessons that could be read from the fields there today. This day was sponsored by the State Extension Service, Soil Conser vation Service, State Forestry Ser. vice, and State Experiment station and all arrangements made and dem onstrations outlined by the joint en- gineering and agronomy committees 'of these services.

Woods normally draw heavily on about 30 feet margins around fields, and Ettle if any crops are made there. These strips are being put to their best use by letting the half next to the woods grow natural cover or briers, vines, and small bushes: while the fifteen feet next to the field is being seeded to a permanent cover of lespedeza serecia.

October 17th, 1941. l-4t correlated and all demonstrations and practices carried out on a single farm here and there so that farmers can go there and see the whole picture of diversified farming and proper ro tation and soil conservation practices being carried out on one unit. “Thru this unified approach,” states Thos. W. Morgan, assistant state director of the Clemson Extension service, “all of the service organizations can properly correlate their work and better meet the need of the farms of the state for diversifying their crops and building and conserving their soils.” And, as Ernest Carnes, state coordinator of the Soil Conservation Service pointed out “We feel that such unified work as we have seen to day on the Shealy farm is the best way the different services operating in the state have of getting their to the farmers they are trying to help. Here practical farmers can see for themselves the practical value of the many things taught.” As the people arrived they were makes a good place to turn around at the end of the .rows. Lime was needed on practically all of our soils for a profitable agricul ture, it was pointed out, and a home made spreader was demonstrated. Commercial lime spreaders are. almost unattainable now, on account of na tional defense work, and plans for this home-made one are being perfect ed by Clemson College and can be se cured through county agents. Legumes are the basis* of economi cal soil building, it was shown, and inoculation was urged. The scienti fic laboratories have isolated the more virulent strains of bacteria that gath. er nitrogen from the air and store it in the nodules on the roots of le- eumes, and these are now available through commercial inoculations. In this wav the value of a legume crop to the soil or for feed can go mater ially increased in many cases. Seed treatment to control certain diseases often very destructive was demonstrated on a simple home-made devise consisting of a steel drum with an axle diagonally through it with a handle on it, and mounted on two saw horses. Fire breaks in the farm wood-lot were growing green with oats. These breaks were from 6 to 15 feet wide and consisted of strips through the woods at intervals that had been grub bed, plowed and seeded to grain. Such breaks are not preventions of a total of 184 were removed as tyring defective trees, too thick, or rbugh ones that would never materialize in to merchantable timber. It was fig ured that the acre had 41 cords of wood on it, and the trees removed made 14 cords of wood suitable for sale as pulp wood or fire wood. When these 184 defective trees had been taken out and the 14 cords of wood secured, the woods were left in much fire, but they are designed to give better condition for the future and you a chance to fight a fire—to slow it up that you have a good chance to stop it. In the lower part of the state where conditions are very dif- erent, much wider breaks are needed as pointed out by Jack Blakeney of the state forestry service. Boundary fire breaks should be wider, as you can't control what comes onto you, and then secondary ones that are nar rower are often advisable to fall back on in case it jumps the primary one. faster growth can be expected since the operation has been performed. Kudziu was being planted in a rath er steep eight acre field in 25 foot rows 3 1-2 feet apart. The field will be planted to corn for two years, af ter which the kudzu will take charge and be used as a hay crop, and inci dentally can be counted upon to con trol erosion there completely.

B. Ezell. “The last few years mark an era in farm ing here, an era in which we saw where we were drifting, with our farms washing away, and an era in which we decided to do something it. We feel that today’s event will help not only this County, but the farmers of the whole Piedmont sec tion who were here and saw what was going on. With all agencies working together as they are, farmers are able to get the most out of the assistance that is offered.” ‘In view of the livestock develop ment that is coming to this section since we have am assured outlet throngh our livestock shipping asso ciation. and the milk plant that is coming, the method of treating com mon pine sampligs for fence post, as demonstrated today by extension en tomologist C.

The gum greatly outgrows the pine and will crowd it out almost entirely if natures takes her course. On this land the sweet "■urn sprouts ten feet high were be ing cut down so that the valuably pine about three to six feet fowfy would have a chance. It is thought •that one cutting of the <mm snrouts at a cost of about a dollar per acre •”*ill be sufficient, to give the pines their needed chance. After that they will suppress the gum. Loblolly pines were being planted m a steep nook where the field line needed straightening out. They were planted 6 by 8 feet—one thousand to the acre, and were secured from the state forestry nursery at $2.00 per thousand-delivered or $1.50 <f. o. b. the nursery.

SHEALY FARM Eewberry, C.' bv extension engineer Fhagan, is something new on the farms of this section, but a thing that has practi cal possibilities on the average farm —specially for vegetable gaiden,. Pastures were being built on the moist (bottom lands along the branch. Btit to do that, lime and phosphates are essential. As pointed out by Dr. Collins of Clemson, “Our *oils are timber soils. By that I mean if your cease cultivating them timber is the natural thing to come back on them. Further west they have grass soils by the same token. To make grass soils out of ours we have to add what it takes, anjl that is lime, phosphates, and in some cases fer tilizers. That done, and we can grow real pastures here.”. The treat ment being used here was a ton of lime, 600 pounds of superphosphate and 75 pounds of muriate of potash on the old sod, and the same thing less the latter, on the new lapds. The new pasture was being seeded to dal- las grass, lespedeza, and white clover and sodded to bermuda grass. Selective cutting of timber was il lustrated, a nd proof given that this is the best way to handle the farm woodlet. Foresters are available to assist farmers with this. Terraces were being- tyuilt with with tractor equipment and the mule and drag pan, and it was evident that the latter method which is in reach of every farmer was just as effective and possibly cheaper than the faster traoto-r method. It is planned, according to Mr. E. C. McArthur of Gaffney, state presi dent of the association of soil conser vation district supervisors, to make this an annual affair’ho that farmers may come each year and watch these practices materialize into maturity. They all represent the best thought available on the various subjects, and farmers are invited' to visit these demonstration farms yearly and see' a farm that was eroding come back into its own by having applied the best known practices there. A simi lar all-day demonstra* ion is planned on a Lee county farm Friday, Nov ember 14bh, near Bishopville. Farm ers of the lower part of the state are invited to attend it. Everything was carried out in clock-like precision today and the lo cal arrangements were handled by specialists of the cooperating agen cies, and under'the supervision of Lower Saluda Soil Conservation district of which J. B. Gambrill of Greenwood is chairman, M. L. Long of Saluda, vice-president, T. M. Mills of Newberry, secretary, and C. T. Smith of Newberry and J. S. Webb of Saluda directors. W. A. Mason, Jr., is the district conservationist. “Soil conservation work in general over Newberry has reached many farms and new ones are asking for help along this line almost daily,” greatly simplified,” states assistant county agent J. L. King, of NewPerry. GOOD CONDITIONS FOR DEVELOPING POULTRY Prices of poultry products are look ing up, even with increased produc- says the Clemson Extension Division of Markets, declaring that the prospective larger supplies will be more than offset by a stronger consumer demand and by government purchasing and price-supporting pro- grams. Chicken production has fluctuated in regular three-year cycles, increas ing two years'following a decline, it is explained. This year is on the up turn of the cycle. With chicken and e-g prices supported at not less than 85 percent of parity, a further in crease of several percent in produc tion is very probable for 1942. Since turkey raising now looks to be more profitable than it has been in many years, a further increase in turkey production in 1942 is also in prospect. Prices received by farmers for chickens as well as eggs in 1942 are expected to average higher than in 1941. The extension poultry pro duction and marketing specialists are encouraging farmers to build a stable poultry industry to the point where South Carolina will no longer be a de ficit in poultry production. COMMON SALT CHECKS POULTRY CANNIBALISM Cannibalism and feather-picking, vices that sometimes develop to pro- fit'-stealing proportions in Newberry County poultry flocks, can be cured in short order by adding an extra 2 to 4 per cent of salt to the ration, ac cording to County Agent P. B. Ezell. This salt treatment has been tested with success by the U. S. Department of Agriculture and sveeral state ex periment stations. If an all-mash diet is being fed, 2 percent of salt should be added, but if both mash and grain are fed, about 4 percent of salt should be mixed with the mash. Easier than figuring ac tual percentages is the equally effec tive method of sprinkling a thin layer of salt on top of the mash—just enough to be seen. Usually feather-picking and canni balism will stop soon after the birds get a taste of the salt, but in some cases it may be necessary to add salt to the mash this way for 2 or 3 days. When the addition of salt fails to curb the vice after three days, it may be necessary to trim back to the quick about 1-4 inch of each chicken’s beak with a sharp knife or hot sold ering iron.
