Agent) Feed Shortage Looks like a lot of folks who thought they had plenty of feed last fall have now run out com pletely or are getting mighty low. This has been the first year in a long time when nobody has had any green grazing all winter. Looks like a winter feed supply will have to be a lot bigger from now on. We don’t know yet what will be done about a government sponsored emergency feed supply.

Scott Elliott, bushels -of oats in the bins here at Newberry for sale. We’ll be glad to try and help locate some hay or straw to make out until grass comes, if anyone needs any badly. Spring Oats We hope before this week is out a lot of folks will have seeded many of the oats they didn’t get to sow last fall. We think this crop one of our best bets for mak ing feed. What other crop has so many uses? Besides making grain, it can either be grazed, made into hay or silage, and with plenty of moisture in the ground, this could be a good year for spring oats. Don’t forget to fertilize with 400- 600 lbs. complete fertilizer at time of seeding and topdress with nitrogen as soon as they get up and growing. Spray Grain & Pastures with 2,4-D Want to not be bothered with vetch or wild onions in your grain at combine time? Or get rid of bitterweed in that summer pas ture? Kill thistle in annual graz ing? Then be sure to spray all of these with 2,4-D during March. At a cost of about 75c per acre for 2,4-D, most of these weeds can be gotten rid of. Use 3/4 to 1 pint of 2,4-D per acre. This is based on the 2,4-D material containing 4 pounds acid equivalent per gal lon. If you buy 2,^-D containing less acid equivalent per gallon, in crease the above rate accordingly.

POLITICAL Announcements HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES I hereby announce myself a candidate for re-election to the House of Representatives from Newberry County and pledge' my self to abide the results of the Democratic Primary. T. WILLIAM HUNTER HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES I hereby announce . myself a candidate for re-election to the House of Representatives from Newberry County and pledge my self to abide the results of the Democratic Primary. JESSE, FRANK HAWKINS BY THE WAY . . . (Continued from page 1) concerned in the administration of the educational program of the county is a need at this time.” I certainly agree with that, but how do you go about getting co operation when parents are sus picious of what goes on in the school administration, and, I might add, with good cause? In January. 1956, the then-chairman of the County Board of Education, Mr Ritchie, at a public meeting, blamed the newspapers for criti cism of the Board, saying “we feel we would have been better off, had more been published about what was happening.” At the board meeting the same month. Chairman Ritchie said “the only reason the meetings had not been reported in the past was that no effort had been made by the news papers to report proceedings of the Board.” The newspaper ac count of that meeting went on to state “Mr. Ritchie, as well as oth er members, expressed his pleas- use ip having reporters present to publish proceedings of the meet ing in order that the public might be fully informed and become familiar with problems facing the Board.” For a few months, reporters at tended the regular meetings, then it was learned that the Board was having “executive” or “secret” sessions and barring the press. They would have regular meetings, allow the press and do practically nothing. But when something of importance was to transpire, in many instances the Board went into executive session and nothing was said about it to the press be fore or after, unless a reporter just happened to hear about it and then it was - difficult to get any information as to what transpired. Things seemed to be going along a little more smoothly the past several months—at least I didn’t hear of any secret sessions, but during the past two months there have been at least two sessions closed to the press; I don’t know how many more, although I under stand another is temporarily scheduled for next week. The Board cannot seem to un derstand that the presence of an “outsider”—a member of the press or radio—will do much to alleviate suspicion, even though nothing “printable” comes out of the ses sion. Trying to get information about these sessions is like trying to dig a well with a child’s play shovel and I have given up. I am only too happy to attend regular meetings or special meetings when I am no tified, an<) report to you what has happened. If the Board wishes to do its work in secret then let them do it—but I will appreciate their not placing the blame for criticism on the newspapers in the future.
