Board of Trustees, Central School District. J15-22-29 SEEN ALONG THE ROADSIDE By J. M. Eleazer Clemson Ext. Info. Specialist They are trying to rebuild their wild game birds in Cher okee! It is the best effort of the sort I have seen. Two years ago Assistant County Agent Stone expressed his idea to the right folks, County Agent Lee and B. T. White the forest ranger. While working in North Car olina, Stone had had experience in raising game birds. And ha was interested in seeing the denuded lands of Cherokee re stocked as were the other members of the county dele gation. So some of the ac cumulated hunting license fund was put to this use. And here is what has happended to date. They were late in starting last year. On June 18 they got 50 pairs of quail and put in the proper incubators. Al though that was late in the season, by proper feeding and the use of lights, they hatched off 1199 birds last season. These were given out in the order in which they were spoken for to farmers and 4-H Club mem bers who secured the needed electric brooders, 20 little birds to the person. Since it was so late in the year, these birds were not re leased until this year. They have found many of them with the young covies they have raised out in the wild. When I was there in mid- June they had hatched off and placed 2,284 this spring and a large hatch was just picking their shells that day. Eighty- five farmers had already got ten birds this season, 60 names were on the waiting list, and three orders came to the coun ty agent’s office in the 30 min utes that I was there. With the hatch that was then com ing off, they had put out a little over 4000 birds during the fiscal year their little project had been under way. Most of the birds raised are released at the proper time. But several folks have kept a few pairs and are raising some themselves. This year they added pheas ants, having secured 21 hens and 4 oocks. Over 300 had been distributed when I was there and their biggest batch was coming off then bringing it up to about a thousand. The project is on Mr. Whit’s farm. He has seen after them without extra pay, the county agent’s office takes the orders from 4-H Club boys, farmers, and others, and the agents and Mir. White tell the folks how to feed and handle the birds. In all but a few cases they have had excellent lufk in raising them, and in these few it was not the birds’ fault, ac cording to Mr. Stone. They are also promoting the growing of bird feed. This year 35 farmers set out 1000 lespedeza bicolor plants each around the edges of their fields, and much kobe lespedeza has been seeded along hedge rows and ditch banks where it will be left for the birds. Cats and the lack of year-around feed are the main reasons we have so few of these game birds any more, they feel. They impressed on me that this is strictly a cooperative undertaking between the coun ty delegation the county agent’s office, the county ranger, and the game warden. And the fine way in which they were handling it impressed me a lot. And special mention should be made of the unselfish ser vice beyond their regular du- ties that is being given by Mr. One to 10 days old, Rocks, reds. Sexed or non-sexed.

Wholesale Grocers Newberry. S. C. White and Mr. Stone. To date for houses, incubators, birds, feed, and everything that has gone into the project, $1,900 of the accumulated county part ®i the hunting license fund has been used under the county delegation’s supervision. Over 4,000 birds have been produced and they are just started. And most of /the expenses up to now won’t have to be dupli cated. The Changing of attitudes is a great part of this project, it seems to me. For when all of those farmers go to a little ex pense of their own and raise a few birds, they will have a different feeling towards them, plan more feed for them, and offer them reasonable protec tion. Delegations from a good many counties have already been to Gaffney to see this unique set-up. It might be the means of solving our game problem. And it certainly ap pears to be about the finest use of some of that bunting li cense money that I have seen. But I am sure the key to the whole thing is the devoted at tention paid to it by Messrs. Stone and Wlhite the absence of favoritism shown, and the aftive interest of the county delegation, specially Senator McKown. If these planted birds click, as it appears they will, with the curbing of cats and the growing of ample food for them, they are building a lot of good times for the future in Cherokee. Out of Latta on the Bennetts- ville road I saw a strange giant all lighted up on a recent night. Stopped and found it was an ancient gin press that J. Calhoun Hayes resurrected from the ruin and decay that’s got most of ’em and mounted it there in front of his house. Mr. Hayes said it was made in 1798. The giant screw, from which it gets its leverage, must be 18 inches to two feet in di ameter and is still as sound as a dollar. The long arms by which mules turned it and the little revolving shed that cov ers the press and screw have all been carefully preserved & treated against decay. It is a very attractive relic there on the spacious lawn of the large farm home. A relic of the early days, when cotton was growing into king, it stands in sight of tractors, mechanical cotton pickers, and fine gin outfits. All of these are other milestones in cotton’s progress. All too many of these ingen ious affairs have been allowed to perish into the dust. Many grown folks here in the cotton country have never seen one. It is well that Mr. Hayes has seen fit to make one secure for the future, or at least a good while anyway. Pity it could not be properly preserved in a fireproof building some where. Clemson would be a fine place for such a building. And very likely many fine old relics such as this would be do- donated to a museum of South Carolina’s agricultural .past Every year will see the past perish a little further, so long as the old things are left to their fate out in the elements. County agent King of Marion says they used 400 bushels of NCI 7 hybrid seed corn this season, and 100 bushels of Dixie 17 for early corn to hog off. It resulted in a fine crop. And hogs are doing their duty in a lot of it now, gathering their own thus saving harvesting costs. Hannah Brothers of Abbe ville value their 15 acres of ladino clover and fescue very highly, according to Co. Agent Bull. It was seeded in the fall of 1947. The next year they harvested 1,089 pounds of first grade ladino seed and 4001bs. of second grade seed. The for mer sold for $1.75 a pound and the latter $1. The fescue does not seed good the first year, although they got excellent grazing for their dairy herd from it all winter and until the cows were taken off in the spring to let the clover seed. This process was repeated last fall and winter and a fine seed crop of both was made this year. Cattlemen in Abbeville are thinking more of year - round grazing and less of hay and si lage as a means of carrying cattle through, according to Bull. And folks like the Han nah brothers are showing that this is not the “short grass” country it was once pictured as being. Lime, fertilizer, and proper seedings can produce' great grazing here. And on that assurance, the cattle busi ness takes on life. Co. Agents and the SCS boys can give par ticulars about this pasture building. Back in the Spring County Agent Garvin of Greenwood showed me fine crimson clover on the farm of J. S. Jones that had reseeded itself on that field for the past 12 years. We have several important strains of reseeding crimson clovqr that are now on the market in volume. Here apparently is another one. Or maybe they are all about the same sort that has been showing up here and there from the old annual crimson clover plantings that had a chance to come back. But they vary some. I have seen several of the reseeding sorts growing side by side here at Clemson and at Auburn. All are good. Some come a little earlier, and some seem to re seed a little better. The important thing about reseeding crimson clover this fall is to know you are getting the reseeding sort. There is no way to fell it from the cheaper sort that you have to seed each season, by looking at the seed. You have to get puality seed that the “certified” or for which you are sure of their origin, according to Bob Garrison, our certified seed man located here at Clemson. INSURANCE PAYMENT FORMS READY AUG. 29 Application blanks for the two billion, 800 million dollar National Service Life Insurance special dividend to be paid some 16 million present and former policyholders will be available August 29. The S. C. Regional office of the Veterans Administration, announced that the forms will be available in every postoffice, Veterans Service office and at veterans service organizations, beginning August 29. This is the earliest date the govern ment printing office can com plete distribution of the huge order. All the veteran needs to do is obtain the application, wthich is a three-fold card containing all the instructions necessary to get the dividend, then fill out the card and mail it to the Veterans Administration. In the event the veteran does not know the number of his insur ance policy, the application can be identified readily by the service number, rank and the exact name used during ser vice with the armed forces. “It will not be necessary to write about your insurance number” says the Administra tion “or about the status of your dividend application, since the Veterans Administration will niail you part of your ap plication to show that it has been received and being process ed. If you do write in, you only delay your payment, be cause it will be necessary to withdraw your application and thus, delay the production line. Just mail your application fill ed out as completely as you possibly can, then wait until the checks start out some time in January of next year.
