Board of Trustees Johnstone School Dist. 11118-25—12|2-9 Growing Nitrogen The biggest chunk of the av erage fertilizer dollar goes for nitrogen. There is a way of getting a lot of that stuff without buying it. In Allendale, Hampton, and Barnwell they are getting it in a big way with lupines. In Chesterfield, Lancaster. Darling ton and some other places they are getting a lot of it with cro- talaria. And all over the state they are getting some of it with clovers, soy beans, velvet beans, cowpeas, etc. For al’ of these crops get some of it from the air, you know, and leave it in and on the ground. In Allendale, County Agent Searson tells me that a good growth of lupines turned under at the right time will make as much corn as a heavy applica tion of soda. And they also greatly improve the condition of the soil and enable it to hold water better. Thanksgiving holidays with her mother, Mrs. J. E. Ross. Miss Sarah Francis James of Lockhart spent the weekend with Miss Dorothy Shealy. Miss Shealy and Miss James are stu dents at Columbia Commercial College.

Miss Kathryn Pugh of Atlan ta, Ga will spend the Thanks giving holidays with her mo ther, Mrs. R. T. Pugh. In Hampton, the SCS man, S. A. Wolfe, told me that soda made little difference on land that had received a good dose of lupines, to which County Agent Thompson agreed. And in Chesterfield, Jake Willis, the county agent, says you can ride by a corn field in the summer and tell if cro- talaria was turned under there. While down in Barnwell, County Agent Shelley found 41.1 bushels of com per acre on the part that had crotalaria while the rest made 21.5 bush els per acre with the same fer tilizer. And last year they doubled their lupine acreage. This fall they have doubled that. Soil building. And it means dollar saving, too. It is coming fast in the en lightened farming of today. Pasture Schools Specialists from Clemson are carrying all available informa tion to the field and putting it out through pasture schools that have been held in many counties along through the fall. In Georgetown it attracted the most farmers of any meet ing in a long time, according to County Agent McCord. And he has been kept busy since then answering calls for assis tance in planning and putting out grazing. ■* And in Berkeley county, 120 farmers turned out for the pas ture school. Interest in the sub ject is the greatest he has ever seen, says Couaty Agent Ma son. And, folks, that’s general over the state. If it keeps up, this state will soon have a lot of its lands tied down, with sod and the livestock business will march right on into a greater prominence. Some Corn! County Agent McCord * of Georgetown had 46 farmers in their corn contest this year. My„ what a corn crop they made! Seven of them got over 100 bushels per acre. These are R. D. Garrison, L. M. Leland, Joe P. Bruorton, N. C. Miller, Carl Crell, D. R. Cooper, and N. H. Cribb. Our “100 Bushel Corn Club” will surely grow in member ship this year. You know it was started last year in South Carolina. and you would see folks from all around. One would come to have his buggy tires shrunk, another to have his horse shod, another to have his grain cradle mended, and so on. That man could fix anything. I liked to watch him shrink tires. If the tire was just a little too big, he would heat it at one spot and pull it to gether a bit with a heavy vice- like machine he had, but if it was a good bit too big for the wooden rim, he would cut it, lap it a little, and weld it back. After he did that he would run a little measuring wheel around it to see if it was just right, the same size as the wooden rim it was to go. He marked each with a chisel to know which wheel they went on. Then they were laid on bricks, wood piled on them, and they were heated. Then fast work was needed, hammer ing them on, getting the hole to hit, as white smoke sizzled from the rim. Then they had to be gotten in water quick to keep the wood from burning too much. Then he let us help him put in the tire bolts. We liked that. Next week I’ll tell you about my experience down there one time he was shoeing horses. Shipping 4-H Hogs WSien I visited County Agent Johnston of Horry in mid-Oc tober they were shipping a car of 64 top hogs the 4-H mem bers had fed out. I saw one cute little fellow there who had the reserve champion ribbon in his hand. He was Ned Hinson, who had won first with his sweet po tatoes last year at the great show at Orangeburg. A cham pion with hogs and sweet po tatoes, that boy . should go places farming. Boys Are That Way There was a picturesque blacksmith shop at the foot of the hill below our house.
