Vic Vet jayj VETERANS STILL IN SCHOOL UNDER THE WORLD WARM Gl BILL SHOULD PLAN THE- REMAINDER OF THEIR EDUCA TION with the knowledge THAT THE 61 BILL PROGRAM FOR MOST EYRRES ^JULY 25, 1356 i* □c For loll information contact your nearest VETERANS ADMINISTRATION office (In response to requests for information concerning the Clemson College artificial in semination program, the follow ing article which appeared re cently in the South Carolina Agricultural Research magazine is reprinted:) By VICTOR HURST and J. P. LaMASTER Artificial breeding of dairy cattle first began in South Caro lina at Clemson College in 1938. The results were so promising that by 1940 the entire college herd was being developed through a sound artificial breeding pro gram. Through the efforts of the Clemson Dairy Department, the movement soon spread to the dairy farmers of the state. Today it is the backbone of many of the more promising dairy herds in South Carolina. The increase in milk production has been excep tional^ and the program is con sidered by many to be one of the main steps toward a more effi cient dairy enterprise. Clemson Study Organized in 1945 The Clemson Bull Stud was or ganized in 1945 when the Spar tanburg County Cooperative Breeders Association applied for service. The first shipment of se men was made to Spartanburg May 9 of that year. Since 1945 the program has grown steadily. Today the Clem son stud owns and manages 30 bulls which are rated on a level with the top bulls in the nation. Semen is being shipped under contract to inseminajors for car rying on artificial insemination programs in 25 South Carolina counties where local cooperative breeding associations have been organized. All any farmer in these counties has to do is pick up his telephone and call his lo cal organization, which is usually located* in the county agricultural building, to get the service of top- notch bulls that would be an as set to any dairy farm in the na tion. What does this service cost? It depends on the locality, but the fee normally ranges from $5.00 to $8.50. This includes up to three trips per cow to your farm by technicians, provided this number of breedings is necessary to get a cow with calf. This price may seem high, but actually it’s dirt cheap when you consider that Clemson records show that the $350 to $400 cost of keeping, feeding, and caring for a dairy bull will pay the fees for breed ing 30 to 40 Cows artifically. Many of the bulls in the Clem son stud cost up to $4,000, a price which the average dairy farmer cannot afford to pay. Other ad vantages of artificial breeding are s that disease hazards are prac tically eliminated through the services of well-trained compe tent technicians. And farmers us ing artificial breeding don’t have to take the chances encountered in managing a dangerous bull. Last year 12,000 cows were bred throughout South Carolina under the artificial breeding pro gram. A total of 70,000 cows have been bred since the program was launched in 1945. Semen is available from four of the leading dairy breeds, in cluding Brown Swiss, Guernsey, Holstein, and Jersey. Dairy farm ers not only have a choice of breeds, but they also have a choice of families within breeds. These facilities provide an opportunity for family breeding and crosses of families within purebred herds. A commercial dairy herd may be improved by using bulls of the same breed, or a bull of a differ ent breed may be used each gene ration to obtain the advantage of cross-breeding. Facilities at Clemson Artificial insemination is a tech nical program. Improvements have been made and are being made through intensive research. Activities at Clemson center around the dairy laboratory where the semen is collected, stored, pro cessed, and shipped to the county associations. Recently progress has been made in the field of se men diluters through the use of egg-yolk. Antibiotics being added to diluteed semen to help prevent the spread of disease and im provements made in shipping con tainers help provide a more eco nomical service to the county as sociations. Dairy Future in South Carolina The future of dairying in South Carolina depends upon the eco nomical production of itailk. Along with the need for better nutrition, better management, and improv ed soil goes the need for better animals. Artificial insemination can provide the answer for de veloping these better animals. BY THE WAY . . . (Continued from page 1) wonderful it was that a call from the operating room to the labora tory brought the blood within a few seconds to be given to the patient. I also wondered how long it would have taken to get that needed blood if Newberry county did not participate in the Red Cross blood program, but if don ors had to be secured as needed for each patient. Those of you who have benefitted by the blood program, either yourselves or members of your families, are the ones who most consistently donate blood when the Bloodmobile comes around. There are many others, of course, who also donate blood reg ularly, but there are so many who don’t, and who could. And those who don’t could be the very ones who might land in the hos pital tomorrow or next week for an emergency operation, or as a result of injuries or burns. Then you will need the blood and you are depending on someone else to furnish it.- Please keep this in mind, and please donate your blood Tuesday when the Blood- mobile will be at the Central Methodist church between the hours of 2 and .8 p.m. My half- pint, even if they will take that much, won’t go very far toward filling the 100 pint quota; won’t you supply the other 99 and one half pints? See you thqre. APPLE BLOSSOM TIME One of the outstanding beauty spots in or near the city last week was the apple orchard at the George Stone home near the city. I wouldn’t attempt to des cribe the picture made by the row on row of apple trees cover ed with delicate blossoms. It is something you would have to see for yourself. By now, though, the peak is past and the blossoms are falling. There should be a fine crop when, apple-picking time comes around. State Spelling Bee Officials Officials for the state Spelling Bee, to be held April 21 in Co lumbia, were announced last week by the State Department of Edu cation. Pronouncers will be Mrs. W. D. Workman, professor of English at the University of South Carolina, and M a c k i e Quave, staff announcer at radio station WIS.

The Bee will be held in the auditorium of Colum bia College with lunch being serv ed the contestants and their sponsors in the college dining room. First prize in the contest will be a one week’s trip to Washing- tqn, D. O., an opportunity to com pete in the National Spelling 'Bee j and a set of enclyclopedias. 2nd • prize is a trans-oceanic portable radio, and third prize, an un abridged dictionary. William Robinson of Whitmire, will represent Newberry County in the state contest. Moore To Resume As Music Head President C. A. Kaufmann an nounced recently that Prof. Jor dan V.
