Page Six THE NEWBERRY SUN, NEWBERRY SOUTH CAROLINA THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1963 FARM NOTESluBrs' 1 i iiMiniiHuiii.iiiiivTriT Danger In Our Woods You ought go for a walk through your woods. No need to take a gun along, although there may be dan ger lurking there. This danger won’t harm you physically, but it may hit you hard in the pocket- book. That usually hurts, too. What we’re leading up to is the damage caused by pine beetles and the liklihood that this threat may develop into something very serious this spring. Several types of pine beetles cause damage to our woodlands. Most of these we have been able to live with for years. But now, one of them, the Southern Pine Beetle has gone wild, so tospeak, and seems bent on destroying our stands of pine trees. Last year we were fortunate that this pest only hit Newberry county a light blow as compared to some of our neighboring coun ties. It’s true we lost a good many pines from beetle damage last fall. But our district forester Har lan McLees tells us that most of this damage was caused by anoth er pine beetle known as the Iph beetle. We don’t think this beetle will cause enough damage to be greatly concerned about. But the Southern Pine Beetle is another story. While we don’t want to hit the panic button yet, we know it is present in our woods and it could prove a time bomb, ready to explode with the arrival of the first bit of warm weather. on TV! i Geigy FARM SEMINARS Seminar 2 FARM j MANAGEMENT Tear Out and Save This Usting_ SK Presented by Geigy Agricultural Chemicals, manufacturers of Atrazine and Simazine herbicides. , ..j* While we hope the cold weather has held them in check, it’s wish- fulthinking to assume that they have been killed by the cold. Mc Lees reports that recently some were dug out from under the bark of trees known to be infest ed and within a few minutes of holding in the warmth of the band they stirred to life. All this seems to indicate that Newberry county could be hit hard by this critter within the next few months. What to do ? Get started now with a program that will help both control present damage and help prevent later damage. 1. Make regular inspections of your pine timber stands. 2. When beetle activity is dis covered, start cutting the infested trees for saw timber and pulpwood and market them as quickly, as as possible. 3. If the cut trees cannot be sold immediately, spray the felled trees with a solution of BHC oil (1 to 20) to kill the brood. 4. Beetle activity will usually start in crowded stands, stands of trees in need of thinning should be marked and thinned as soon as possible. 5. Make frequent observations to see that no new beetle activity starts. We think it is best to assume that beetles will cause some dam age this year. Don’t wait until it hits. Begin now checking and thin ning where needed to get the jump on the varmits. Contact the Dis trict Forestry office or the county agents office in Newbery for ad ditional information. Short Wheat Crop. Reports from milling companies indicate that wheat supplies are lower than normal. Also the fact that only a limited acreage of this crop was planted last fall points to good prices for this year’s crop. Therefore farmers who have wheat planted will want to really pour Spring READY- TO -WEAR Arriving Come to . . .

Roy Summer THE MAN’S SHOP Davis Subject Of UDC Meeting Drayton Rutherford Chapter UDC held its February meeting at the home of Mrs. Cannon Blease with 21 members present. After the opening exercises, led by Mrs. Ralph B. Baker, the historical sub ject for the afternoon—Jefferson Davis— was discussed. Mrs. Rich ard Baker who treated the life of this great Southerner in a most in teresting manner, giving first his background, then the many im portant events in his long and his tory-making life. Of particular in terest was the last meeting of his Confederate cabinet in the beautiful Burke house that is now a Confederate shrine in the city of Abbeville; his capture in Irvin- ville, Ga.; his imprisonment in Fortress Monroe, accused of trea son but never tried; the years that he and his family spent in England; the return to his native Mississippi where he spent his last years in beautiful “Beauvoir" which was given to him by a friend. Here he spent these years writing “The Rise And Fall of the Confederate Government." Mrs. Baker had gathered much pictor ial material connected with the life of the only President of the Confederacy and this gave added interest to her fine paper. Business followed with the Min utes of the January meeting by the Recording Secretary, Mrs. Louis Floyd. The President, Mrs. Westwood, reported that the date for the Ridge District UDC Conference has of necessity been changed from March 27 to April 3rd. She read a letter from the Business and Professional Women’s club in viting the members of the chapter to an Aid Workshop in the Agri cultural building at 7:30 the night of February 26 under the direction of Dr. Von Long, Newberry county Health officer. The Treasurer, Mrs. McCullough reported the finances to be in a very satisfactory condition. Mrs. Jordan Pool reported that the Supervisor has had 12 county burial places cleared in the past three months, and she asked the members to give her the names of any that need to be cleared. Mrs. Elmer Shealy, co-leader of the Children of The Confederacy, reported that three talks on spec ial subjects in Confederate history had been heard by 165 children and that several more historical talks will be made by Mrs. M. F. Bowler. Some members of the chapter had expressed a desire to get cop ies of “A Confederate Surgeons Letters To His Wife." The publish er lists the book at $5 in his cat alog but he has offered to let any member or friend of a member have a copy for $3 as long as the limited number lasts. The members thoroughly enjoy ed two letters that have been re ceived from Mrs. Haddie Wright, who joined the chapter when she was spending some time here with her son, Col. William Wright and family. She has accepted a posi tion in a college in Cape Girar deau, Missouri as Senior Advisor in a dormitory for girls. The March meeting will be held in the morning of the 5th at the home of Mrs. Elmer Shealy. Mrs. Blease with her associate hostess es, Mesdames M. L.

Notes of thanks and the bulletin of State Presid ent were read. After dispensing with business, old and new, the meeting was closed. During the socal period the hos tesses served delicious hot apple juice, heart-shaped chicken salad sandwiches, cookies and potato ) flakes. Corwin Speaks At College Dr. James F.

Mrs. Frances Beck poured tea from a table covered with white and centered with a Valentine dec oration. Delightful refreshments were served. Rev. ROBERT EL HARPER HAUirS COMET r_T ALLEY’S Comet was seen in the sky in 1066, when William the Conqueror decided the fate of Saxon England. But the mighty battleaxes of the Norman knights who rode down the Saxon defend ers and slew them after they had enticed them from their bulwarks could not reach Halley’s Comet For it has appeared at regular intervals through history. During the last appearance, I was aboard a Texas and Pacific train bound toward Shreveport, Louisiana, and the west. As the twilight deepened several passengers were looking with interest out the windows. There was Halley’s Comet JUST A THOUGHT: Many of the wonders of this modern world are condemned as evil when actually tike blame belongs to Individuals who abase and misuse them for per sonal gain. ON DEAN’S LIST IN COLUMBIA Sixty-one Columbia college stu dents have been named to the Dean’s List for distinction i n scholarship during the first sem ester, announces Dr. Thomas G. Shuler, dean of the college. Included on the list were Merle Bedenbaugh of Prosperity and Barbara Buddin of Newberry. on the nitrogen in order to boost yields. Don’t stop with only 20 or 30 pounds of actual nitrogren top dressing. We suggest you apply at least 60 pounds of actual nitro gen per acre. Those who have good stands on fertile land should consider going higher—up to 90 pounds actual nitrogen per acre. Topdress early for best results. The middle of February is not too early as some farmers seems to think. In fact this could be the year it would pay to apply split applications. That is, apply 30 to . 40 pounds nitrogen per acre as soon as you can get on the land— then come back about the middle of March with that much again. To control wild garlic and vetch so your wheat won’t be docked at the market, spray with 1-2 to 1 pound of 2,4-D acid equivalent per acre before the wheat begins to ‘“joint”. Pick a warm day for spraying when the temperature is at least 65 degrees. Mrs. Cora Sloan Service Sunday Mrs. Cora Shealy Sloan, widow of the late W. Malcolm Sloan, of Little Mountain, died Friday at Mills clinic at Prosperity. Mrs. Sloan was born and rear ed in Newberry county, spent most of her life in Little Moun tain and was the daughter of the late John David and Florence Stuck Shealy. Survivors include one daughter, Miss Helen Sloan of Little Moun tain and a number of nephews and nieces. Funeral services were conduct ed Sunday from Holy Trinity Lu theran church by Rev. Garth L. Hill. Interment was in the church cemetery. Active pallbearers were David Matthews, Sam Derick, Rudy Shealy, Carrol Kempson, L. H. Boland, Jr., and Murray Counts. Camellia Show In Columbia The rugged weather this winter has about wiped out camellia blooms for this season in Colum bia. The members of the Men’s Camellia club of Columbia refuse to be counted out.

The comet was disappointing. It was not as bright as a star of the first magnitude and there was a small dim light around it, not at all like the flaming, fire-breathing dragon conjured up from child hood.
