Eleazer Likes Upland Pastures Best When the Buzzard Boost pow er project came it took all oi the bottom lands where Harold Lumley had grown pasturage for his dairy herd in Green wood county. He says he thought for the time he'd have to go out of the* dairy business. But his SCS man, Johnson Craig, and his county agent, P. M. Garvin, came by and got to talking about up-land pastures. He ibedame interested, and went to work towards getting ’em. Now he would rather have them/ than ythe bottom ones. The latter overflowed, and that was always bringing diseases and feeding troubles to his cattle. Now he has none ot that on his clean hills where good grasses and clovers grow the year around. And folks he thinks a lot of fertilized Ber muda grass too. It has served him well. His 6 acres of 'al falfa averaged 5 tone of hay per acre last summer. In our enthusiasm for the new grasses and clovers, we will do well not to forget the old standbys. The new things are high and we protect that investment with high fertility. And that’s all to the good. They are fine and w e need them. But let’s remember that the old neglected plants like Ber muda .grass, Dadiis grass, les- pedeza (both the annual sorts and the Serioea), burr clover, and even crab grass, likely to have a place in our year around grazing prpogram. And they too will respond mightily to the good treatment we are getting of a mind to razing crops Hard Hit There are hundreds of small colored farmers over Charles ton county. When I was there in late April their agent, Julius Amaker, told me that at least half of their truck was taken by the freeze of a few nights before. He had worked with credit agencies that had taken care of them in pitching these cropst Now that much of that acreage had been taken, they had slim finances with which to seed other things. And there were few cash crops that? could be planted then. They are putting in some lima beans, and also some grain sorghum with which they planned to feed out a few hogs. Sweet potatoes used to mean some thing to them, but the sweet potato weevil quarantine nips that idea now. UDC CHAPTER WITH MRS. WISEMAN The Drayton Rutherford Chapter UDC had its lakt reg ular meeting of the season witn Mrs. J. E. Wiseman and Mrs. Steve Griffith as associate hos tess, on Tuesday aiternoon, June 6th at four o’clock. The president, Mrs. R. D.

Mrs. A, J. Briggs, Secty. Mrs. R. D. Wlrighf, Pres. cording to County Agent Mason. And in all counties It looks like not more acres of com but more com per acre from a wide adoption of the Ciemson plan for making more and cheapen com per acre. This has great significance, for com means man things. Another Livestock Auction Market Every now and tjien I learn of a new livestock market opening up. County Agent inompson of Hampton tells me of a hew one at Yemassee. livestock, dairying, and poul try are surely on the mend in South Carolina. And how we do need that stuff too! You can haul more loads... more miles... for less... / * “ V . ’ ■ . : with Chevrolet Trucks Ml kSSS . V\ m ■ Take time out to talk to some Chevrolet truck users. You’ll find It discover that Chevrolet trucks pay their way by hauling for lessl And you’ll find that this extra measure of value is 1 even more new Chevrolet models. Definitely, they’re America’s first-choice trucks, units feature a brand-new 105-h.p. Valve-in-Head engine with the power heavy loads and conquer steep grades. They offer new Power-Jet smoother, quicker operation. They bring you the fast, safe shifting of Chevrolet’s 4-speed Synchro-Mesh transmission. But whatever your hauling requirements, Chevrolet trucks are your best bet. See them in our showroom. You'll agree. m CHEVROLET/ 7 Grass and Livestock in York The York county agricultural workers sponsored 6 community winter pasture tours. Of these, County Agent Miller says, “On the tours excellent pastures of fescue and ladino were observ ed and owners had received good grazing all winter.” A livestock sales facility has been built there too by 135 farmers, who each took $100 stock. So 'gradually the livestock de velopment covers the state. First comes pastures, and some grazing and feeding demonstra tions. Then a local sales ar rangement. And thus we see the beginning of a new day in our agriculture, with livestock along with crops. That makes a stabl© and enduring sort of farming. Killing Weeds in Plant Beds It used to be a tedious and back-breaking job to keep the weeds out of tobacco plant beds. Science has developed {a pretty effective remedy for that. County Agent Jackson of Williamsburg tells me they got from 90 to 98 percent control of weeds in plant beds with it the past spring. Details can be gotten from 1 your local county agent Corn Interest in Berkeley “Interest in the newer meth ods of corn growing was stimu lated greatly by Mr. Woodle’s talk in early March to 175 Berkeley county farmers,” ac- "T 1 Checker Cab— TAXI 24 For Expert Repair Bring Your Radio GEO. N. MARTIN Radio Service SALES and SERVICE BOYCE STREET Opposite County Library 24 HOURS SERVICE Telephone 311W Boys Are That Way As kikis there was nothing we liked 'better than ’possum hunt ing. A (neighbor had an old deaf dog that was very good. We hunted her a lot There was just, one disadvantage, deaf, we couldn't call nor rect her. She knew the and liked to hunt So she just went and we followed. Often we would hear her tree away across the hills, we could just hear her. There was* no call ing her off, and she would stay until we got there. And when we got through we had to just catch her and bring her back with us, or let her go and come when she would. But we didn’t like to do that. We felt that she would thus lose confidence in us. One night she treed away down back of the schoolhousa and we went to her. As we neared the spot, someone said they believed she had treed up that giant hickory tree that grew down there near the spring. And sure enough she had. As we arrived, she real ly talked to the ’possum, bark ing and jumping up at the trunk of that big tree. We hadn’t had very goodt hunting that night, so we lit in cutting the big hickory down. It must have taken us an hour to gnaw it down with, the sort of chopping we did, taking turns. As usual, one of us held the dog as the giant tree fell there with a resounding crash. As soon as it hit she was rearing to get loose and into the top of it after the 'possum. We didn’t hear the usual scramble there, but soon got to her with torches in hand for light. And there she was, holding a regular kit ten of* a ’possum. I think she was as disgusted as we. Going home one of the boys recalled the saying of old hunt ers that the smallest ’possums go up the largest trees. WANT ADS FOR SALE—80 acres farm in the Mt.
