5th Annual Guernsey Sale

and purchased by Dr. Grady N
Coker of Canton, Ga. for $560.

County Oat Crop Threatened
By Disease
Noticed any of your oats look
ing badly yellowed? We’ve notic
ed a good many fields in the coun
ty showing this condition already
this spring. Fred Smith, our plant
disease man from Clemson College
says they don’t know for sure
what caused the disease. We do
know that the disease is carried in
the soil since the worst fields are
those that grew oats last year.
Bob Earhardt, plant disease man
with the Experiment Station, who
has done a lot of research on this
disease, says rotation and use of
resistant varieties are our two
best ways to combat this threat to
our valuable feed crop.
We saw proof of the value of ro
tation on Harold Long’s farm last
week. The same batch of seed was
used to plant two fields—one field
that has been in oats every year
for several years was badly affect
ed by the disease. The other field
just across the road was in oats
the first time in the last 5 years.
Almost no diseased plants were
found in this field.
As to resistant varieties, Bob
Earhardt says the Arlington Oat
is our best bet to use.
We hope to know more about
this disease before another plant
ing season. We still consider oats
our No. 1 feed crop.
Order Pine Seedlings Now-
Applications are now being tak
en by the County Agent and Dist
rict Forester for pine seedlings
that are to be set out this winter.
The S. C. State Commission of
Forestry reports that they expect
to have approximately 145 million
seedlings for planting during the
1958-1969 season. Approximately
120 million seedlings will be grown
by the three state nurseries and
about 25 million will be grown for
South Carolina elsewhere. There
should be enough for everyone, but
if you plan to set out seedlings
this season, don't wait until the
last to put in your order.
The cost of loblolly and slash
pine will be $3.50 per thousand de
livered.
Seed Certification
Deadline April 15
The closing date for filing ap
plications to have seed of spring-
hlarvested crops certified is April
15, according to Robert H. Garri
son, head, Seed Certification De
partment. Farmers who want to
have seed certified of such crops
as barley, oats, wheat, rye, fescue,
and clover must file applications
before that date. Blanks are avail
able from county agents, teachers
of agriculture, or the Seed Certi
fication Department at Clemson.
, Farmers who planted Purple
Tag Registered seed and those who
planted Blue Tag Certified seed
are eligible to file applications for
certification. The increase of the
Purple Tag seed, provided all re
quirements are met, will be classed
as Green Tag Certified Seed.
It is necessary for farmers who
file applications to provide evi
dence as to source of seed and
give directions as to location of
farm and exact field. All fields for
certification must be inspected to
determine if the crop is true to
type, is free of noxious weeds
and other crops, and meets the
general conditions for handling
the certified seed. Farmers who
plan to produce certified seed
should start early and do a thor
ough job of cleaning combines and
storage facilities. Extreme care
must be taken in handling good
seed to keep it pure.

Coach Kirkland
Has Headaches
With Training
By BOBBIE BAKER
Head Football Coach Harvey
Kirkland officially opened spring
football practice Wednesday with
an expected turn out of some 30
odd candidates seeking first string
berths. The delay at Newberry in
beginning football practice this
spring was due to the fact that
Kirkland has been recovering from
a heart attack suffered in Decem
ber. ,
There are several factors which
will handicap the last spring drills
including the conflict with base
ball since several members of th*
football team also participate in
baseball. First of all, Kirkland
will be forced to pace himself in
the drills. He will be without the
aid of line coach “Red” Burnette,
who is now coaching baseball.
However Marion Lee will he on
hand to help out with the line.
Kirkland made it plain that the
football squad would work around
the baseball schedule so the two
sports would not conflict any more
than wai absolutely necessajry.
Horace Turbeville, a quarterback,
Wyman Taylor, a halfback, John
Hudgens an end, and Earl Catoe,
a tackle, will miss the benefit of
the spring drills while devoting
their abilities to action on the
baseball diamond.
Besides working on a very lim
ited budget which makes recruit
ing difficult, Kirkland’s other
headache for the coming 1958 sea
son will be the task of finding
capable men to fill the positions
left vacant by the graduation of
such stars as Richard Phillips,
Terry Dukes, Bobby Stokes and
Danny Doar, all backfieldmen and
Marion Lee, Huston Biggerstaff,
Jerry Weed, James Fleming, Bill
Hilliard, and Jim Fraser, all
linemen.
i
From the outset of the drills it
looks as though the biggest prob
lems will present themselves in
the forward wall. The shortage of
depth there is alarming. Only two
tackles will report for drills from
the old ’57 squad. The situation is
have their plant bed seeded. Now
is the time for the remainder of
those who have not seeded their
plant beds to do so.
not much better at the guard slot
with only four guards back. There
will be only one fullback in the
person of Ray Waters, and Scotty
Speares will be the only quarter
back during the drills.
A few bright spots are at center
where the Indians have four cap
able veterans in Dave Sakevitz,
Conley Jumper, Bill Corley, and
Harold Douglas. There will be
some seven candidates out for end
including Sam Faulk, a starter
last season and Jimmie Graham, a
second unit man. Lee Leary, a
’57 tackle will probably be switch
ed back to end. The Indians have
a host of fine halfbacks like Bob
by Rowe and Bob Yarnell, but
they are all small.
Kirkland—“We haven’t much to
work with, but we’ll do the best
with what we have.”
