We have had the wrong idea about growing grass. We fought it for generations, and it whip ped us in some areas. We turn ed them out as old fields. At home we called that surrender ing to General Green. When in recent years we started turning to cattle and needed grass, we had the idea it was easy to grow. Just turn the field loose, we thought, and we’d have grass aplenty. But we soon found that this was not so. Wfoere that grass had harrassed us so in those fields, we were fertilizing and cultivating some. And grass liked that. (Leave that off and grass too becomes puny. So in recent years we are learning that it takes prepara tion and fertility to produce good grass, just as it does a crop. We are doing those two things, and liming and seeding it now. And the result is a lot of very fine pastures over the state. Pastures that pey! Clemson’s Cushman points out that it costs something to have good grass. But not nearly as much as it would to produce or buy the same feed in other forms. He points out that re liable records show it costs an average of 29 cents to produce 100 pounds of digestible food in grass. While in alfalfa hay it costs 49 cents, in corn silage 91 cents, in oats $1.19, in corn $1.29, and in barley $1.40. Now what practical farmer is so rich as to be able to feed mostly on those expensive sour ces of animal food and neglect the cheapest one, good grass! “Conservation of Our Soil Resources’’ is the subject of a $15,000 essay contest for boys and girls up to 20 years of age being sponsored by the National Grange and the Am erican Plant Food Council.

A scene I will long remem ber: The distant purple glow of the mountains across the parch ed expanses of the Mbjave des ert out in our great Southwest. A man fells mighty lonely and small out there. Julius Amaker, the Negro ag ricultural agent for Charleston county had just assisted 40 of his small farmers in getting 5 tons of lime each through the Tripple-A for $2.60 a ton out of pocket money delivered to their farms when I was there some weeks ago. Their many small plantings of Irish potatoes for market were about a fourth off accord ing to Julius. But they have in creased their sweet corn plant ings. Not many years ago the plantings down there were mostly Irish Cobblers. Now Katahdin and Pontiacs com prise the principal acreages he said. Clemson’s truck station there is testing out new USDA and private strains of potatoes each year. Some of them look mighty good in tests so far. Terry Liston, 4-H club boy of Colleton entered the state pulpwood thinning contest the past winter.The thinnings were treated and used for fence posts.
