Quail Food Assured
With Bicolor Order
Placed By Farmers
“Eighty-three coveys of quail
can be assured of ample food and
cover next winter,” E. E. Epting
of the Soil Conservation said.
Lespedeza bicolor is a peren
nial legume growing to a height of
5 to 10 feet. It produces a heavy
crop of hard seed that shatter
slowly. Quail prefer it to most
other foods.
Seventeen farmers in Newberry
County have applied for bicolor
plants:
They are: H. C. Martin, J.
Henry Stockman, J. M. Dennis,
J. G. Huffstetler and V. L. Cotney
of Prosperity.; Earl Watkins,
Chappells; William Gregory, Po-
maria; D. M. Vaughn and C. T.
Smith, Kinards; P. T. Haris, J. F.
Stephens and Dave Waldrop,
Silverstreet; L. H. Long, C. L.
Lester, W. R. Reid, J. D. Rook
and Homer Long of Newberry.
Eighty-three thousand bicolor
plants will arrive at the Agricul
tural Building in Newberry, Tues
day, January 29, at 9:00 A.M. ac
cording to Mr. Epting. The above
applicants are being notified and
requested to pick up their plants.
“Bicolor is very palatable to
stock, so it must be protected
from grazing,” Mr. Epting warns.
The plants are furnished by the
State Department of Game and
Fish and are being distributed
through the Soil Conservation
Service.

LAURENS GRASS
Have you seen the grazing they
have in Laurens?
Thousands of cotton’s lost acres
have gone to grass there. Coun
ty Agent Cannon’s records show
that during the past year they
bought 560 tons of TV A am
monium nitrate to go to 10,000
acres of it. This grew from
5,000 acres the year before and
2,250 in 1948.
And most of pur counties are
traveling this same road. Laurens
is just a little further along than
most of them.
At most places new fall seed-
ings were slow and late due to
drought last fall. But here and
there the county agents point to
a few who irrigated. My, you
should see the grazing there!
The way things look, more and
more farmers can be expected to
take the most advanced step in
their farming lives in the im
mediate years ahead by embrac
ing this thing we call irrigation.
Yes, on certain of their lands
near water they will cease the
ancient folly of looking into stern
blue skies and longing for the
showers that do not come at
critical times. They will apply
the knowledge that man has de
veloped to the water that’s stored
in the pond or that the Almighty
has put in the running stream.
And the result will be the life-
giving shower at the right place
when it counta for most.
COTTON INSECT CONTROL
Farmers have never quit with
cotton easy. At times they have
been forced to. But it was done
with great reluctance.
When the boll weevil crossed
into Texas from Mexico in 1892,
cotton all but went from that
area. Cotton there often grows
right on through the winter,
which made insects worse. Some
years ago the growers asked the
cotton insect specialists if there
was a way they could reduce the
insect hazard and make cotton
production profitable again there.
The bug men said they thought
there was, and they outlined their
program. The farmers adopted
it. And the past year those three
counties away down there on the
Lower Rio Grande harvested 321,-
000 bales of cotton! But that
was not accomplished easy. Here
is the way they did it:
To grow any cotton, a farmer
has to first get a pemit. Then
he has to plant only between the
prescribed date limits. They plant
early. Then the harvest must be
completed and every vestige of
cotton must be chopped down and
turned under by the last day of
August. To enforce this $10 is*
taken from each bale at the gin.
If a proper field clean-up is not
effected, they take that money
and do it. And then the offender
is also subject to prosecution.
In this manner they get a com
plete clean-up. I rode all over
that area in early September of
1949 and couldn’t tell cotton had
been grown there. The gins too
clean up perfectly so not even
any stray seed are left anywhere
to come up during the warm win
ters. The main principle upon
which the plan is based is to
have a rather long cotton-free
season during which non-hiber
nating weevils and pink boll
worms will starve. And the thing
is working mighty well. On the
other side of the river the Mexi
cans have hired some of our
experts to help them with a
similar plan over there.
Here we are getting a part of
our weevil fight almost as uni
versally applied in some counties.
And that is poisoning. But
weather gets so cold as to force
the insects into hibernation. So
maybe the South Texas plan
wouldn’t work here, even if it
could be applied. v
HIS PLATFORM
Senator Williams of Greenville
tells of the fellow running for the
legislature whose promise was to
“tighten up the things that are
too loose and to loosen up the
things that are too tight.”
PROFECT CREDIT
Henry Johnson, with the Farm
Credit Administration, lists three
simple rules for building and
keeping a good credit standing.
First, use the money for the pur
pose it was borrowed. Second,
pay it back when the collateral
is sold. And third, build up a
basis for credit. Practicing the
first two of these has a lot to do
with accomplishing the last one.
For a good credit risk is not just
the fallow who has plenty of
things to put up. How he uses
his credit and how he takes care
of his obligations counts a lot
too.

Provisions Of S.S. Law Affecting
Self-Employed Explained In Booklet
Self-employed people who are
now under Social Security musf
report their 1951 earnings fo*
Social Security when they turn
in theiD income tax returns for
1951. This reminder came today
from Miss Martha Pressly, mana
ger of the Greenwood Social Se
curity office.
“Our telephone hap really been
jumping lately,” Miss Pressly
said. “We have had literally hun
dreds of calls in recent weeks
about this. So for the benefit of
self-employed people In this area,
I have asked The Sun to list be
low a few essential facts about
Social Security and the self-em
ployed.”
Here eare the main points
brought out by Miss Pressly:
1. A 214% tax on net incomes
up to $3600 must be paid at the
same time the final 1951 income
tax* report is sent in—no later
than March 15, 1952.
2. The report will be made
on “Schedule C,” which is avail
able in offices of the Collector of
Internal Revenue.
3. If the net income is not at
least $400, make no report.
4. People who pay the taxes
will be building 'Social Security
benefits for themselves just as
people who wdrk for others havq
for years.
5. You will need a personal
Social Security account number.
If you don’t have one already,
call your Social Security office.
6. Your occupation may be
automatically excluded. Ask your
Social Security office at Green
wood about the free booklet on
the k self-employed.
Booster’s Club
Active At N. C.
An organization was formed on
the campus of Newberry College
in 1961 with the objective of
rendering to the College very
definite services such as pro
motion, projects to improve the
physical plant, and to enlist stu
dents for the college. The club
is called the Booster’s Club and
membership is open to all stu
dents interested in promoting the
college by always being a booster
and a worker for the best in
terests of the institution.'
Recently the Boosters replaced
old pews in the .college chapel
with auditorium chairs. The pro
ject now under consideration is
to plan and promote a high school
day here at the college for all
prospects interested in attending
Newberry College next session.
