boro, who specialize* in larm
machinery, headed up their re
cent farm implement school.
Over 2,500 folks attended it.
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

National Grange and the Am
erican Plant Food Council.
Clemson’s extension conversa
tionist, E. C. Turner, calls at
tention to the fact that June
115 is*the last date on which
essays can be submitted. They
are to be of not more than 800
words, preferably typewritten,
and submitted to your nearest

respectively. Full particulars

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. Clemson’s Extension
Circular 262 tells how this is
done. Your county agent has a
supply of them.
