Frick Dies Suddenly James Effice Frick, 35, of RFD, Little Mountain, died suddenly Monday at a Prosperity clinic following a heart attack a short time before at his home. Mr. Frick was born and reared near Little Mountain in the Piney Woods section of Newberry Coun- g r, a son of Wilbur R. and Nina iddle Frick. A carpenter, he was employed -by-—J^ Louis ' Moseley Construction Co. of Columbia. He was a veteran of World War II, serving with the U. S. Army in the European theater. He was a member of Saint Peters (Piney Woods) Lutheran Church. Surviving besides his parents are his wife, Mrs. Susie Shealy Cotton Planting Advice Given By Agents (By COUNTY AGENTS) Cotton Newberry County cotton farm ers have already received their notices showing both acreage and support level for both Plan A and Plan B for their farms for 1959. Cotton growers must decide what their choice will be and notify the local ASC office in writing before March 16th as to which plan they will carry out this year. Asbury Long over at the ASC office tells us they would appreciate if grow ers would notify them of their choice as soon as possible. Since the Secretary of Agricul ture has announced the support level for the 1959 crop it looks to us like Newberry County farmers can figure on getting approximate ly 35c for their cotton grown un der Plan A and about 30c for cot ton grown under Plan B. Of course, it will depend upon where the open market settles after har vest begins. However, at this time it does not appear likely that the open market price will be much above 30c for the kind and quality of cotton we grow here in Newber ry County. According to the way we see it only those farmers who have sufficient land, equipment and plenty of available labor and who can hold down their cost of production will benefit in choosing Plan B over plan A. Since it is evident that more cotton will be planted in Newberry County this year growers should begin now obtaining the best avail able seed and making plans for this years crop. Certified seed should certainly be used in all cases possible to insure higher yields. Varieties recommended for New berry County are Dixie King and Plains. We know that a number of our growers have been using Empire for the last 2 years, how ever, Clemson College recom mends Empire only for the Coast al Section of the State. While on the subject of cotton we would like to remind you of the Members of 228th AAA Group review intelligence reports during Exercise Lucky Delta, com mand post exercise held at Ft. Gordon, Ga. February 7th and 8th. They are: M-Sgt. Thomas Long shore, Third St., Winnsboro, first sergeant; M-Sgt. James E. Stone, 2100 Adelaide St., S-2 Sergeant; and Major J. Leland Welling Jr., S-2 officer.

FORT GORDON, Ga., Feb. 7— “Lucky Delta” a mammoth com mand post exercise directed by Third Army headquarters, was held last week. Some 4,600 commanders and staff members — including more than 30 general officers—repre sented 43 Reserve, National Guard and active Army units in the exercise. Lt. Gen. Clark L. Ruffner, Third Army commander, was exercise director, and General Bruce C. Clarke, Continental Army Commander, from Ft. Monroe, Va., was an observer. The exercise, a continuation of the Lucky Bravo and Lucky Char lie maneuvers held here in 1957 and 1958, was designed co keep commanders J)0s|ed bn the latest Army methods and techniques, in cluding airborne doctrines, use of atomic and electronic warfare principles and employment of tac- cical air-support. Participants had a free hand in meeting and dealing with combat problems posed during the two-day maneuver play. Supervisory con trol was maintained by exercise directors and controllers, and a critique was conducted at conclu sion of the play. Third Army officials emphasiz ed that “Lucky Delta” is a train ing exercise, and not based on any existing war plans. The Ninth Tactical Air Force, from Shaw Air Force Base, S. C participated with Army units in the big operation. The seven National Guard units are: From North Carolina: 30th Infantry Division, Raleigh; IV Corps Artillery, Charlotte; From South Carolina: 51st Infantry Di vision, Columbia (and Tampa, Fla.); 228th AAA Group, New berry.

Tom Riser Wins Recognition We wish to congratulate Tom Riser for having been named the “Outstanding Serviceman for the Year 1958” and to let you know what a good job Tom is doing in Newberry County. As you know Tom is our artificial Breeding Serviceman for the Newberry Co operative Breeding Association. We think it quite remarkably chat Tom received this award since he has only been working at this job for 2 years now. In order to fully appreciate this achievement we have to go back a few years. Up until Janu ary 1958 a bull stud was kept at Clemson College for supplying the various Breeding Associations ov er the state. Beginning the first of 1958 most Breeding Associa tions in South Carolina adapted the frozen semen program of NO BA which is the Northern Ohio Breeding Association. This means that about 85'' of dairy cattle be ing bred artificially in South Carolina are bred with frozen semen which is considered the most promising development in a long time. Of course, there were many new changes and new me thods to be adapted in going on the frozen semen program. Since Tom was able to adapt nimself quickly to the new progrt.m and continue to render such efficiency and outstanding service to farm ers using artificial breeding the significance, of this award be comes more outstanding. In discussing the frozen semen program now being used by the Newberry Cooperative Breeding Association we think the present program offers many advantages to our dairy and beef cattle farm ers. More than 50 bulls are kept on hand in Newberry Association laboratory. This means that New berry farmers have a wide choice of outstanding bulls to breed their cows artificially. These bulls have been selected from the top breed ing herds in this country and many of them are “Proved” bulls which means they are much more likely to increase production of their offsprings and thereby would cost much more than the average dairyman or beef cattle grower could afford. Having received this award means that Tom Riser is afford ing outstanding service to New berry County cattle growers. Cer tainly this indicates that Newber ry County farmers can use arti ficial breeding with the utmost confidence. Again our congratulations to Tom with the hope that he will continue to render such valuable service to our Newberry Folks for many years to come. Top Dressing and Spraying small grain We have noticed within the last 2 weeks that the best looking small grain and grazing crops in Newberry County are those which were fertilized at planting time and top dressed with nitrogen last fall. This indicates to us the value of nitrogen top dressing and reminds us that the time for top dressing small grain is at hand. Small grain needs additional nitrogen to stimulate growth and enable the plants to spread out or “stool”, thereby, increasing the number of stalks per plant. It has been proven over a period of ye^rs that nitrogen top dressing applied at a later date. Use from 30 to 50 pounds of available nitrogen per acre to stimulate growth and in crease yield on our valuable small grain crop. Also as weather permits ar rangements should be made for spraying small grain for weed control. When spraying with, 0 2, 4-D this time of year pick suo^iy day when the temperature is least 70 degrees. Use 2/3 to 1 pi,».t 2, 4-D per acre for most weeds. However, if wild onions are the main problem this rate should be increased to 2 pints per acre. Actually it is best to spray small grain first with 2, 4-D and follow with a top dressing of ni trogen. If lespedeza is to be sown wait two weeks after spraying with 2, 4-D to seed. Last year poor results were ob tained in controling bitterweed in permanent pastures with 2, 4-D spraying because of continued cold weather in the spring. There fore, the farmers should begin now picking the days as they come that are suitable for spraying and go ahead and spray permanent pastures for bitterweed control. The bitterweed seedlings are now coming up in our pastures and are easily killed with 2, 4-D if the weather is right, that is sunny days with the temperature at least 70 degrees at the time of spraying. Use the same rate of 2, 4-D on permanent pastures as for small grain and again if wild on ions are a problem use double strength. Frank Coleman Is Speaker At Garden Club Frank Coleman, prominent citi zen of Spartanburg, whose inter ests are wide and varied, was guest speaker at the meeting of the Newberry Garden Club held Tuesday morning at the home of Mrs. Joe M.
