BRYAN in The Greenville News) A chemist turned farmer through his interest in what makes his soil click and a coun ty farm agent in search of the best possible hay crop for his rapidly increasing number of dairy farmers have put Newber ry county in the heart of the alfalfa map of South Carolina, leading the way to surer suc cess with the crop in the state wherever land is at all suitable: Hugh M. Epting, chemist-farm er, and Paul B. Ezell, Newberry county farm agent of the Clem son extension service put their heads together to try to find out two things: (1) Why alfalfa as heretofore grown did well briefly and then “petered out”; (2) What plant foods the alfalfa plant likes best and how much of these preferred plant foods should be put back into the soil from year to year to keep alfal fa from dying a premature death with the farmer as chief mourn er. Made Land Unfit Farmers had formerly gone to large labor and expense prepar ing and fertilizing the land and seeding the crop because they knew it makes a superior hay, only to find that three or four years at best was the life ex pectancy of the crop. They had found also that the alfalfa crop seemed to unfit the land for other crops following the short lived alfalfa; cotton and corn, for example, would not do Well after alfalfa and would suffer especially from “rust”. Following his and Ezell’s ob servations and hunches, Epting tried fertilizing the growing al falfa from year to year instead of depending chiefly on the ini tial enrichment of the land. One first result, was that ammonia was not desirable, resulting in poorer stands and increased growth of weeds and grass. On the other hand, lime, phosphorus and potash resulted in better growth of alfalfa which was freed from weeds an^ grass. Still another observation wa"s that cotton after alfalfa so ferti lized did so well that Epting won a county cotton contest with it. Then an idea about possible boron deficiency and a test showing that this mineral in small amounts helps the crop noticeably. To shorten a long story, Chemist Epting and County Agent Ezell, with the support ot Clemson College agronomists, have learned that alfalfa’s heavy drains of lime, phosphorus, pot ash and boron must be return ed annually to the soil on which the crop is growing if it is to be kept growing. Not only did they prove it on Epting’s own fields; others under Ezell’s leadership proved it as surely. Newberry Contest So it was that in 1946 Ezell hatched up an alfalfa production contest, with the Newberry Chamber of Commerce as a willing sponsor with $200 in prizes. Ezell wanted to write the story of alfalfa success all over the fields of Newberry county. There were 77 3-4 acres ent ered in the contest. The total yield was 339.6 tons at an aver age cost pf $14.50 per ton. The average yield of the contest ants was 5.2 tons per acre. With alfalfa hay at a market value- tion of $40 per ton, that’s a hndsome profit. Clifford T. Smith, winner, grew 6.7 tons per acre on eight acres at a cost of $16.21 per ton. The five cuttings measured nine feet, nine inches. Here, in capsule form, is the method which Ezell and his Newberry farmers have worked out for success with alfalfa. In preparing for an alfalfa planting, use three tons of agri cultural lime per acre, 500 pounds of superphosphate broad cast, and compost broadcast. Disk these in time to kill weeds and grass before planting. At seeding, broadcast 500 pounds of 4-12-12 or 3-9-9 and 15 to 20 pounds of borax, disk in well, and firm with cultipacker or roller. Sow On Cloudy Day Inoculate seed well and sow on cloudy day or late afternoon if possible. Between September 15 and October 15, sow 40 pounds of al falfa seed per acre, cover light ly. Cut when basal shoots are one to two inches high. Don’t cut in very dry weather, and never cut so late in fall that new growth before frost is prevented. Each spring topdress with 800 pounds of 0-12-12 per acre. Broadcast one ton of Dolomitic limestone or 1500 pounds of bas ic slag per acre every other year. Every third year broad cast 15 to 20 pounds of borax per acre—every two years if leaves show “yellow”. Ezell points out that it takes Cases Listed June Session The following cases will be tried at the June term of crim inal court which will convene here Monday morning, June 16, at 9:30 a. m., with Judge Steve C.
