ELEAZER Clamson Extension Information Specialist mm *: ■ '* wm k-J?: m CRABGRASS, A DOUBLE PEST Crabgrass is about the worst pest we have in cultivated crops. And we regard it mainly in that role. But, I want to tell you, for the cotton grower, it has another very bothersome aspect. And that’s in the picked seed cotton itself. This is specially so where me chanical picking is used. For some of the strands of crabgrass are sure to get in with the cotton. And the gin people have had ut most difficulty in trying to de velop cleaners to get it out. The gin saws it, and parts of its fiber gets in with the lint cotton causing endless trouble in the | spinning process. The cotton harvest is only about a month off. Do everything you can to keep that late grass out of your crop. Skippy cotton is worse for it than where you have a good stand. If you have much grass, it will make your cotton so it can’t be effectively harvest- led with a mechanical picker. And you’ll have to caution and watch After the hand pickers mighty close. And, as our Sam Williams sug gests, then be careful in handling the picked cotton in the field that you dbn’t get grass in it. WATCH SOYBEANS FOR BUGS NOW August hnd early September are the times to expect bug outbreaks on soybeans our Carl Nettles re minds. The armyworm and the corn earworm are the main two. The remedy is the same for both, 30 per cent DDT. And 20 percent toxaphene can also be used on the Armyworm. Unless you keep a rather keen watchout, both of these pests can get the jump on you. And they are both hard to kill when they get up the same size, and too they have done a lot of damage by then . The armyworms are most likely to start on beans that have a lot of grass in them. So it would specially pay to watch such spots. The corn earworms are hard to detect at first.' You’ll find the tiny worms feeding on the buds and tender seed pods. Their main feed ing is on the tender beans there in the pods, and their workis not so easily noticed as that of the armyworm that eats the foil- age* Yet they can be equally as destructive. For you will think you have beans there and there’s nothing but hulls and forage. We have a lot of soybeans in South Carolina. A n< ^ year we have a lot of new growers. Folks, watch for these two worms in ’em and protect your crop, if needed, in time. If you forget what to use, ask your county agent. SCARCE MANURE With the going of workstock and the building of a livestock industry mainly on grazing and the self-harvest of crops, very little manure is accumulated in lots and stables anymore. Folks around villages and towns who could once get a load for flowers, lawn, or garden, now find it all but impossible. Some high grade manures like dried poultry and sheep manure is put up in sacks under brands and sold at fancy prices, as plant foods go. I know a fellow in Sumter who' borrowed a truck and went to a friend’s farm down in Bamberg to get a load of compost to start shrubbery and lawn on a new place with. Not that there isn’t still some of that vital item of soil fertility in Sumter, bu|t it is scarce there, as elsewhere, and that fellow had to go to where he had a friend to get it. Now the manure is scattered on the land by the livestock, where, handled right, it does its gooil without calling for all that labor needed in the old way to get it back out on the land. But the home gardener and town man is going to have to look elsewhere for his organic fertility. In the field there is a way to get it, as pointed out above, from livestock droppings, and from crop residues turned under. We do a lot of that where grain is grown, its refuse turned under, soybeans seeded there, and theh their rich residues turned under too.

FINAL FATE OF CIVIL RIGHTS BILL UNDETERMINED The final fate of the so-called civil rights bill has not yet been determined, but whatever happens now, the teeth have been pulled from the original bill v which came to the Senate from the House of Representatives. I stated-in the Senate on Aug ust 6 in opposition to passage of the bill that: ‘*The so-called civil rights bill should have been entitled a bill to empower the Attorney General to deprive certain citizens of their right to trial by jury. Also, it should have been labelled as an implement intended to be used to force integration of the races in the public schools.” I am thankful there were enough members of the Senate who con sidered the facts, as we presented them in debate, and helped us Southerners to pull out the sharp est teeth. AMENDMENTS CUT POWER OF BILL The amendments which we en acted greatly reduced the power which would have been placed in the hands of the Attorney Gen-, eral. Authority was removed from the bill for use of military forces in cases of alleged civil rights violations. The Commission to study Civil rights matters was required to report to Congress as well as to the President. Mem bers of the proposed Commission were made subject to confirmation by the Senate. Other amendments narrowed and more adequately defined the powers of federal judges in contempt? proceedings. All of these amendments have vastly ameliorated the original obnoxiousness of H. R.^6127. How ever, nothing could entirely re move my objections to the bill except its defeat. The bill was submitted to the American peo ple as a right-to-vote bill, when actually it was a force bill. . ONLY 18 VOTED AGAINST BILL Eighteen of us voted against the bill when it was finally ap proved by the Senate. However, there were 72 Senators who voted for the bill in its watered-down form. Now the bill, as passed by the Senate, must be taken up by the House of Representatives. Several courses might be followed by the House. If a majority of the House should vote to accept the bill as amended by the Senate, it would then be sent to the President for his consideration. Either he would have to sign the bill or veto it. Although , there has been some talk that the President might veto the bill unless the jury trial amendment is weakened, I would be surprised if he did. In the event the House of Rep resentatives does not approve the bill passed by the Senate, it will ask for a conference with the Senate on the bill. Then mem bers of both the House and Sen ate would be appointed to try to reach an agreement on it. They would be limited to making a re port between the extreme bill passed by the House and the more moderate bill approved by the Senate. They could not make changes outside those limits. CONFERENCE WOULD HAVE THREE CHOICES Members of a conference com mittee could make one of three recommendations to the House and Senate: They could recom mend that the House accept the Senate amendments; they could recommend that the Senate re cede from its amendments and ac cept the House version; or they could recommend changes in the Senate amendments and that both houses accept a version different from the one they passed. It is likely that a conference committee would recommend the third course I have described. Then the question in each house would be whether to accept the report of the conference commit tee. AGREEMENT WOULD BE DIFFICULT However, there is much discus sion here as to whether a confer ence committee could ever agree on changes in the Senate amend ments which would be acceptable to a majority of the members of both houses. You will recall that 51 Senators voted for the jury trial amend-’ ment and 42 voted against it. Any change in this amendment would cause several members of the Senate to face a difficult decis ion. But the House passed its ex treme version of the bill by a ma jority of two to one. Because of that, many House members might want to demand a much stronger bill that the Senate passed.

It was important in our lives, and absolutely essential. It al ways had a gnarled chopping block. That was usually an old log or large piece of wood with such a bad knot in it you couldn’t work it up for. the fireplace. It was on this that you lay smaller pieces of wood to be worked up with the axe for fireplace or cook- stove. Chips of wood and pieces of bark naturally accumulated so thick there that weeds did not come through. On that block too is where we chopped the heads of poultry off when being killed for the table. They would bounce and jump around there a few seconds but wouldn’t get dirty there in the chips. Those chips served the useful purpose as kindling for our fires. Yes, there they were a mixture of tyardwood splinters, chips, and bark and of pine too, some of its bits being rich with pitch. You could ball up a piece of paper, scatter those chips over it, lay your wood on. light it, and soon have a good fire going in fireplace or stove. But they had to be dry. So when they were, we’d pick up baskets full and puUem under the house. And gourds usually grew out there around the woodpile too. I don’t remember they’d just volun teer there each year. No attention at all was paid to them, us never planting them. But nothing much bothers a gourd vine and some of them always gained a hold and overran the outer areas there be fore frost. Then the mature gourds lay all around. We did nothing much with them except as an occasional repleacement of the one used as a dipper down at the spring or those hung on poles for martins to nest in. lYour Calhoun Man offers RETIREMENT with SECURITY * Your Calhoun Life agent can show you how to retire with financial security.
