PAGE FOUR THE NEWBERRY SUN, NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA THURSDAY, MARCH 8th, 19t - FOR AND ABOUT TICNAGBRS Bv C. D. Smith Should 17-Year Old Go To School Prom? THE WEEK’S LETTER: ”1 have a problem. I am 17 years old and a senior in high school. I have never had a date or went to a prom at school, never to the movies, or to any social event at school. I asked my mother if I could go to the school dance with other couples and she said that I really didn’t want to go. Do you think I should date, or do you think mother is right?” OUR REPLY: A boy or girl who Is 17 and a senior in high school dbotild be allowed to go to a school prom. But, if this individ ual has never been allowed to date—or has not wanted to date— then parents should provide super vision, even if it is a 4< Double- date.” Starting to date ts not just a privilege that comes when a cer tain age is reached. Parents have an obligation to see that their children are properly supervised at all times. They must see to it that their children select the proper associates and friends . . . not just when they start datina but as long as they are undi r parental authority. Many parents try to keep their children from dating as long as possible, and we must grant that it is not wise to allow them to date too early. On the other hand, we must also realize that an 18- year-old who begins dating needs just as much counsel, guidance and supervision as a 16-year-old. So, our reply to the question is this: Ask your mother to serve as a chaperone at some school func tion. Ask her to let you give a party at home for some of your school friends. Or, if you are in vited to some school affair, ask her to go if she can; if not, ask her or your father to take you there and come back for you when it is over. Above all, remember this: your parents are interested in doing what they feel is best for you. Take your problems to them. Don’t hesitate to ask for permit- sion to go to a school affair or social.

We really appreciate the interest and attendance of our farmers at the last 3 meetings held. We hope the information presented at these meetings has been practical and can be put to use in your farming operation. Now let’s have a god turnout for this final meeting. We believe it will be one of the best yet held. Paul Williamon, our Clemson Farm Management Specialist, will have an inter**ting discussion on “Balancing the Farm Operation”. He will present an actual farm situation that shows changes can sometimes be made that are not costly, but can increase farm prof its. Professor “Frosty” Bauknight will talk on “Efficiency and Fu ture Profits in Farming.” We feel fortunate to have this man who is well known for his keen insight into the economic problems of the farmer and for his humorous and plain talk on this important sub ject. We all recognize that agricul ture is rapidly changing. Various programs will come and go and farmers will have to adjust with these things. But regardless of what kind of programs come out of Washington or elsewhere farm ers will still find that proper man agement be the main thing that determines how successful your farming operation will be. Plant Costal Bermuda this Spring Interest in planting Coastal Bermuda this spring seems to be running high. At least we have heard a good many farmers say they intend to plant some this year. We, too, think Coastal is a good grass and can fit into the feed program on all dairy and beef cattle farms. No, it is not any miracle grass. You can’t just set it out and forget it and hope to get much from it. But with proper management it will produce a lot of forage that can be used for either grazing, silage, or hay. We like it especially for a hay crop. If fertilized right and cut at the right time it makes a high quality hay, equal to alfalfa in analysis. Too, it cures quickly after cut ting so you don’t have to leave it in the field too long. To prove that high yields of hay are possible, here’s how our test plots turned out at Sand Hill farm last year. Nearly eight tons of hay per acre was the yield figured by weight from these highly fertili zed test plots. The remaining ac reage at this farm right here in the county turned off better than 5 tons of hay per acre. Clifford Smith reports better yields of hay from this crop than any crop he has ever grown. Cook Brothers, William Senn, and others who’ve now had several years experience with Coastal praise it highly. Too, we’ve had some farmers who have been disappointed with Coastal. Mainly because of poor stands following planting. One of the best stands we’ve seen here in the county was set out the first week in March. Coastal needs to be set when it’s almost too wet to be in the field and when you can be sure of getting a rain soon after setting. That’s why we feel March and April is definitely the best time to set out this grass to get a stand. Be sure to use plenty of stolens or roots when planting. 20 bush els per acre when setting out in rows and 40 or more when using a manure spreader to set out. We could keep right on telling you about this grass and what we think of it. Right now the import ant thing is to get your land in shape and get your supply of the stolens located. A supply is avail able right here in the county. We will be glad to locate a supply for you with other details of plant ing. Let us know if we can help you. Flan Your Cotton Program If you did not release your ot- ton allotment then let’s make plans now to get your allotment planted. Cotton is still important to Newberry county. Some farm ers think there is no longer any profit in cotton. We disagree, and here’s why. Last year 16 Newberry County farmers enrolled in our 5 acre Cotton contest made over a bale and a half of cotton per acre. True, they had a high investment. Cost of production, including lab or, for this group averaged $150 per acre. But hear this! Their net profit per acre still averaged a lit tle better than $140 per acre. Now, some will argue that this much investment per acre is too great a risk for a farmer to take. Actually the risk in growing cot ton is not as great as it used to be. Practically every year we have enough of the right kind of weather to make a profitable cotton crop. The boll weevil and other cotton insects have been our biggest threat to cotton. They have caused low yields because we simply didn’t control them. Now, with effective poisons we can HOSPITAL PATIENTS control cotton insects if we fol low a planned insect control pro gram. This Clemson College in sect control program is not just theory. It is practical and has been proven. We are mailing to all cotton farmers in Newberry county a series of leaflets explaining the Clemson college cotton program for this year. We suggest you take time to study these leaflets and carry out your cotton pro gram on a planned basis this year. To do so will mean profit for you and a boost to our local economy. NEWBERRY COUNTY—the Egg Capital of South Carolina. Nearly 5 million eggs! That’s the number of eggs Newberry county farmers produced in 1960 to capture top place as leading egg producing county in South Carolina. The past five years has seen a steady jrise in commercial egg ©reduction to bring the county to its present leading spot. And the end ?s not yet. A ride through the county in most any direction will reveal one or more new laying houses under construction. At present it is estimated that there are well over 200 thousand laying hens- in this county that now reigns as the egg capital of the State. And most importantly the vast majority of the county’s 100 commercial egg producers re main independent. That is, they own their own operation and are working for themselves. They’re doing a bang-up job, too, as evi denced by the fact that our prod r ucers get an average of 277 eggs per hen, per year, as compared to 209 eggs »per hen for the state: Perhaps the fact that 71,500 of these hens are on Clemson col lege’s egg record keeping prog ram accounts for part of this ach ievement. Most of Newberry’s commercial eggs are marketed by the Waldrop brothers of Silverstreet. This Newberry county marketing indus try pays out well over a million dollars each year to producers for their eggs. Frankly, we’re proud of our Egg Business in Newberry. Espec ially since there were many who flatly stated several years ago it couldn’t be done! It has been cone and we salute those who have made this an important business in this county. 45 million eggs! Did you have yours for breakfast ?
