Out Iowa way, where they really grow hogs, they say oats is an economical hog feed onl? when? you can get 2 bushels of it for one of corn. And then it needs to be ground for hogs and make up not over 20 percent of their fat tening ration. Hogs on good graz ing can use even less oats they say. We hog down a good bit of oats, in our hog growing counties. In fact they run on it as green graz ing and stay there until any that is left matures and they Continue to graze on it. Grazing like this, and keeping the hogs out on clean land, is a good practice, says our Gus DuRant. INSECTS GALORE There are 686,000 known species of insects on this earth. And, like ly as not, a good many have never been identified and classified. In this country we have 82,000 of the known sorts. Those who study such things tell us insects have been on this earth 250 million years and that man has been here only a half million years. With that big start on us, no wonder*we can’t push ’em around much. But for Nature’s many checks and balances, insects would over run the earth in a short time. For their rates o reproduction are pro digious. The descendants from one pair of houseflies, for instance, could entirely cover the earth in less than one summer season if nothing happened to any of them. Fortunately, Nature pitted one insect against the other. Many of ’em live off of others, and others in turn feed on them. And there are the myriads of birds and ani mals that largely live on insects too. But even with all of Nature’s provisions for holding things in check, quite frequently we see Na ture’s balance broken in some way and an insect epidemic threatens a crop. Science has to be ever on the alert for both preventing and relieving situations of -this sort. And new situations are ever aris ing. This causes Clemson’s in sect and disease charts to be re vised seasonally so the county agents, out there on the firing line, will know what’s best to recommend in the way of controls. A NEW NAME FOR COASTAL I was down in Georgia and heard a new name for Coastal Bermuda grass? They asked me, “How about this Woodle Grass you all are boosting so over there in South Carolina?” Well, that’s not a bad name for it, for our Hugh Woodle has really lived with it for the past several years. And the county agents in every county I’ve talked with tell me it’s just as good as it has been pictured. Another man down there spoke up and said, “I thought it was Oodle Grass, thinking they called it that because it made just oodles of grazing or hay.” But, folks, it’s really , not “Woodle” nor “Oodle” grass, but Coastal Bermuda grass. And it’s writing new pages in the live stock potential for the Southeast. The best planting time for it is just ahead, Hugh tells me. It has been successfully sprigged in dur ing all seasons. But early spring, with winter moisture still in the Mrs. Wiseman will have charge of the historical period, subject, “Confederate Minstrels and Camp Songs.” Mrs. Houseal Norris, treasurer, is asking for the 1958 dues, as the Division sets the first of March as the date for her rsm;t- tance of state dues. “LET’S START SOMETHING” On October 31, 1954, Dean Far rar came by my office and said, “Let’s start something.” I said, “Shoot, What is it?” He said let’s push, the planting of crape myrtles at every home and on every farm. We had written on them' before. But since then we have talked here of it often. And several nurserymen have told of increased sales of this item. Clemson has rooted thousands of crape myrtle cuttings and distrib uted them free through the gard en clubs. “The hundred day flower,” the typically Southern flowering bush, the crape myrtle! Surely they should be on every place. Have you set yours yet? There is still time. Easter Service’ Plans Are Made Mrs. F.
