Grassland Farmer
Our congratulations to “Dad”
Amis for being named “Outtand-
ing Grassland Farmer” in New
berry County for last year. Grass’
The basis for a successful live
stock program! With this as his
goal, Dad has within the past 20
years transformed a worn out
cotton farm into one of the fin
est grassland farms in this part
of the country.
Actually most of the progress
with grass on Amis’ Hereford
Farm has been made in recent
years. The use of plenty of lime
and fertilizer applied to adapted
grasses such as Fescue and Ber
muda, along with Ladino Clover
permits grass production the year
round on this farm.
The importance of water and
\&oil conservation is very much in
evidence here. Pond after pond
dots the landscape at Amis’ Here
ford Farm. Naturally this is to
be expected since Dad has ably
served a number of years, and is
still a member of the Soil Conser
vation team in Newberry County.
The control of water run-off,
next tying down the soil with
grass, then fertilizing adequately
to maintain top production seems
to best tell Dad’s important story
with grass. “It’s important for a
grassland farmer to remember,”
Dad concludes, “that grass is be
ing harvested nearly every day
from a good pasture. Therefore it
becomes doubly important to keep
.soil fertility at a high level to in
sure continuous production of
g rass —the best possible feed for
•our livestock here in Newberry
County.”
Just to make sure, ride by this
farm in the Jalapa section some
time soon. There is plenty of evi-
/•dence just riding by, that Dad’s
farm grows grass! All year
round!
Livestock Tour
Come out and see a grassland
farm that produces plenty of
grass! Also an outstanding field
of Coastal Bermuda, some useful
livestock equipment and a cattle
grading demonstration. Add to
this the fellowship of other folks
who believe like you that there
is ample opportunity for beef
-cattle production in Newberry
County then you have the makings
of the Beef Cattle Producers’ As
sociation Meeting to be held next
Wednesday afternoon, October 7.
Beginning at 2 p.m. the group
will assemble at the Old Court
House (Community Hall) in New
berry to begin the farm tour. First
stop will be a Sand Hill Farms
where we will see and learn about
a good first-year field of Coastal
Bermuda. Then on to Amis Here
ford Farm where “Dad” Amis will
tell us something of his success
with grass. Also a grading demon
stration will be held at “Dad’s”
place.
Last stop of the tour will be at
Cay Plantation where Manager
Larry Seaman will show us some
useful livestock equipment and
some of the outstanding bulls he
is using in the breeding program
at Gay Plantation.
The meeting will wind up with a
Hamburger Supper served at Gay
Plantation. Be sure to let Larry
DeHart, Secretary of the Asso-
•ciation or let us at the County
Agents Office know if -we can
expect you. Come on out, you’ll
be glad you did!
Harvest Sorghum Silage Soon
A considerable acreage of sor
ghum for silage including cane
and milo is nearing the ready
stage for cutting and putting in
the silo.
Used to be we thought that
sorghum should wait until the
seed were hard and ripe. Not so
now, says recent experiments.
Feeding trials indicate that sor
ghum silage should instead be cut
when the oldest seed are in the
soft dough stage. Such feeding
trials showed that the soft-dough
stage silage was 5% more digest
ible and actually produced more
milk than the hard seed silage.
So this indicates that our sor
ghum silage is nearer ready than
we figured. Check yours now to
see if its ready to go into the silo.
Also remember that plastic cov
ers are ideal for sealing the silo
once it is filled. Plastic covers are
available for both trench and up
right silos. Trench silos particul
arly need to be covered properly
to prevent excess spoilage and to
make the best possible silage.
Dairy farmrs are reminded that
one-fourth of their base forming
period is already gone. Use extra
feed, if necessary to stimulate
milk production during the remain
der of the base forming period.
Poultry
Egg producers should keep in
mind that top management will be
the difference in profit or loss
in this big business.
Some producers still are not
keeping sufficient records to know
where they are in the commercial
egg business.
Some producers are still careless
in the manner eggs are gathered
and handled after gathering.
Some producers are not gather
ing eggs but once a day. This low
ers the quality of the egg as well
as makes it a harder job to clean.
Some producers have not plan
ned ahead for freezing weather
conditions. How they are going to
keep ice out of troughs and how
much material is going to be
needed to close the house to cold
weather.
It is much better to do a little
planning and be ready than to put
off and lose your business.
We are proud of the fact that
only a minority of commercial
egg producers in Newberry Coun
ty are not practicing top manage
ment. The majority of approxi
mately 200,000 laying hens are
getting the best of care in our
county; however, we all need re
minders to keep us from forget
ting.
4-H Clubs
4-H Clubs are beginning this
years meetings throughout the
county. We congratulate all club
members whom have completed,
successfully, their club project for
this past year.
The 4-H Club motto, “Learn by
doing,” means just what it says.
With parents helping their boys
and girls, through their guidance
and experience, the 4-H club has
wonderful opportunities for any
boy or girl between the ages of
10 and 21.
If you are interested in your
boys or girls future, find out
about 4-H clubs; they may offer
just what your boy or girl would
like as a project.
Contact the County Agents Of
fice for further information.

Meat
When it comes to buying food,
no other provides so much variety
as meat. There . are cuts from
beef, veal, pork and lamb. And
there are the variety of meats,
sausages, and ready - to - serve
meats. All afford a wide range in
kind and price.
Meat is highly prized for its
food value as well as flavor. All
kinds of lean meats provide body
building proteins, iron, and some
of the vitamins needed for good
health. Even richer in iron and
vitamins than the muscle meats
are liver and other meat organs.
The cheaper grades and cuts of
meat, though fairly lean and not
so tender, if prepared right, are
just as full of food value and ev
ery bit as tasty as the higher-
priced steaks and roasts.. The
chief difference is they take more
time in cooking and more skill in
the seasoning.
Learn the cuts of meat so you
can name them when you see
them. Unfortunately, most women
are familiar with less than ten
percent of the available meat cuts.
It’s a big advantage to learn to
recognize all af the popular cuts
as well as those in less demand.
You’ll find the less-demanded cuts
more economical buys.
Cuts differ in tenderness ac
cording to the part of the animal
from which they are taken, and to
age and fatness of the animal.
The tender cuts of beef as a
rule come from the rib and loin
and make up about a fourth cf the
carcass. The other three fourths
are the less tender, less expensive
cuts. Classified according to their
use in cooking, these less expen-
ive beef cuts are: Steaks—chuck,
shoulder, flank, round, rump. Pot
roasts—chuck ribs, cross arm,
clod, round, rump. Stews—neck,
plate, brisket, flank, shank, heel
of round.
In plump young lamb and pork
all cuts are tender. With veal, rib
and loin are generally more tender
than the rest of the carcass. The
cheaper cuts of lamb, pork, and
veal—that is, shoulder, breast,
and shank meat — make good
chops, roasts, pot roasts and
stews.
Fresh meat spoils quickly and
easily, so keep it cold and, of
course clean. As soon as fresh
meat, ground or in the piece, ar
rives in the kitchen, take off the
wrapping paper and store the
meat loosely covered in the coldest
part of the refrigerator.
When ready to cook fresh or
mildly cured meat, wipe it off
with a clean cloth wrung out of
cold water. Do not soak the meat
in water—soaking draws out juice

features Chevrolet has originated for its all-new
Corvair. A car that seems small only when you
park it, the Corvair boasts “big car” roominess
and performance due to a long-term engineer
ing study of compact design. Low, . fle€t styling
