THURSDAY, JANUARY 22, 1959 THE NEWBERRY SUN PAGE THREE Fellowship Fund Is Explained To AAUW Branch Dr. Olivia Futch, dean of Wom en of Furman University, was Kuest speaker at the January 17 meeting of the Newberry Branch, American Association of Univer sity Women, at the home of Miss Margaret Paysinger. She was in- bver taffeta. The bodice was de signed with a sabrina neck and long sleeves ending in points at the hands. The full skirt with ap- pliqued medallions had front and back panels of lace, extended into a handpiece of self material. She carried a bouquet of small white mums, centered with a white orchid. The bride’s * mother wore a street length dress of dusty blue lace with matching accessories and hat and a pink cymbidium or chid corsage. The bridegrooms mother wore a street length dress of pink lace with matching accessories and a Lavender cymbidium orchid. The couple, with their parents and bride’s attendants, greeted the guests in the church vestibule. During the afternoon the couple left for a trip to the mountains of North Carolina. For traveling the bride wore a moss green wool suit, with winter white hat and brown troduced by Mrs. C. M. Smith, fellowship chairman of the local branch. •Dr. Futch talked on the AAUW Fellowship program, bringing out pertinent facts as to its history, the number of persons receiving fellowships and the requirements used as a basis in awarding them. The AAUW Fellowship fund was launched in 1890 and now carries a value of over two million dollars. From 1890 through 1953, 436 Fel- low r ships had been awarded, for the most part to women who have finished most of the requirements for the Ph. D. degree or else have already earned the degree and de sire to do further research and study. Dr. Futch said that years ago, public opinion held that such a high degree of intellectual achieve ment wa-s harmful to a woman’s health, but that today women scholars are exerting great in fluence in the world. Mrs. James H. Abrams of Whit mire was a visitor at the meeting. Miss Paysinger served delicious refreshments from an attractively appointed tea table at the con clusion of the meeting.

Jl ■ Agents Suggest Pecan Planting (By County Agents) Artificial Breeding The first full year of operation of the Newberry Cooperative Breeding Association using frozen semen has just completed. So far, we have just been pleased with every aspect of the new frozen se men program, except that we feel more dairy farmer's should be us ing this valuable service. As we’ve pointed out many times before, artificial breeding offers the dairy farmer many ad vantages. About the main disad vantage we hear is that the cow's don’t settle to this service. There fore we were quite interested in a bulletin received recently from Clemson College. This bulletin gave the results of conception by artificial breeding of the Clemson College dairy herd where all cows and heifers are bred artificially. These results show that for a 3 year period in the Clemson herd: 56% of the cows conceived on 1st service. After the 2nd service, 74% of all cows had settled. After the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd services, 81% of all cows had been pronounced with calf. The conception rate in heifers behaved in a similar fashion. Certainly these results offer conclusive proof that conception rates are sufficiently high to just ify artificial breeding as a means of using the best bulls available and increasing the production of our dairy cattle. Also listed in this bulletin are the following six rules for obtain ing good conception rates. 1. Do not breed cows back until the first heat period following 60 days after calving. 2. Check cows and heifers twice daily for heat and report them to the inseminator for service. Best conception results when the cow is inseminated from the middle to the end of the heat period. 3. Do not breed cows that have an infection of the reproductive tract. Have veterinarian treat such infections before attempting to breed. 4. Do not breed heifers prior to 16 months of age unless they are unusually well grown. 5. Keep accurate records of calving dates, heat periods, (watch for irregular heat periods), breed ing dates, and reproductive tract treatments. 6. Identify all cows and heifers by neck straps or chains, brand, tattoos or ear tags so that accur ate records can be kept. Certainly it is now accepted that the successful dairyman must raise his own replacements for his herd. Since it costs from $200 to $250 to raise each heifer to milk ing age, the cost of artificial breeding is a small investment to insure greater inherited milk pro duction in these heifers. Cotton Farmers Must Make Choice Each cotton farmer will have to know your State choose whether he wants the choice (A) or Choice (B) allot ment for his farm for the 1959 crop year. The reason each cotton farmer must make this choice is because all regular (Choice A) allotments will have a support price of not less than 80% of parity and all growers who elect Choice B may increase their regular allotment by 40% with a support price of 15% less than the Choice A sup port rate. The Secretary of Agriculture will announce the support rates for the 1959 crop not later than Jan. 31, 1959. Soon after the Sec retary announces the support le vel, each 'armer will be notified of the choice A and * Choice B price support levels for his farm. Then the farmer must make his choice in writing to the local ASC office not later than March 16th. Tenative plans have been made for a meeting to be held on Satur day morning January 31st to ex plain fully the details of this choice cotton program to New berry County farmers. This is a decision that each cotton farmer will have to make and certainly a farmer needs to know all the facts in order to make such a decision. More details of this meeting will be given in our next week’s news article. Fertilize Pecan Trees The production of pecans is an important crop in Newberry Coun ty. We were impressed to this ex tent after seeing a truck load of pecans loaded recently that was bought in one day in Newberry. Also we’ve noticed that most ev ery farm and nearly every lot in town has one or more pecan trees. All this adds up to the fact 4hat a lot of pecans are produced each year in Newberry County. Also since each owner usually has only a few trees, this makes it possible to care for these trees properly and make them more productive. Usually it is not prac tical for the average owner to carry out an insect control pro gram especially on mature trees since expensive power equipment would be required. Therefore, the best plan is to use insect and di sease resistant varieties when planting additional trees and fer tilize established trees to increase production. During February or March is the best time of year to fertilize. Use a complete fertilizer such as 4-12-12 and apply 2 to 3 pounds of fertilizer for each inch of trunk diameter. Either broadcast the fertilizer, from the trunk out at least as far as the branches spread, and work the fertilizer into the soil or holes may be punched and filled with fertilizer. The use of Zinc Sulfate in addition to the fertilizer is helpful to most trees. Use 1/2 to 1 pound of zinc sulfate per inch of trunk diameter applied in a similar manner to the ferti lizer. Now is also the ideal time to set out pecan trees. As we men tioned before, set out only resis tant varieties. Varieties recom mended for trial plantings include Curtis, Farley, and Elliot. Pecan trees have proven a good investment for practically every farm and home- owner. Let’s plant M. A. Smith. 57 Dies Friday M.
