One for our Piedmont area, one for coastal and one for cen tral South Carolina. Site, soil management, fertiliz er, seed, cultivation, irrigation, disease and insect control and ■ harvesting are topics discussed. Perhaps the most valuable section is the chart listing the varieties adapted for our area. Much re search goes into the testing and breeding of new varieties. Why not profit by other’s experience?

Gronouski. “The new building,” Mr. Gro- onuski said, “is designed to carry out the Post Office Department’s objective of a more efficient pos tal service combined with im proved working conditions for bur employees. “President Johnson has asked us to exercise frugality in con ducting our governmental opera- t.ons, and we are doing so. New construction, therefore', is being authorized only when it is demon strated that the need is urgent and no other alternative is avail able.”’ (Continued on page 4) .. -ii*-: training program. Twenty-seven leaders attended the first session. Four more meetings were sched- 'led for March 31, April 7, 14 and 21. Both club leaders and project leaders are discussing such top ics as “What is 4-H,” “A County 4-H Program,” “4-H Projects,” ‘Understanding Boys and Girls,” and “Parent Cooperation.” We hope that this will be a big boost to our already active youth pro gram. Having grapes is a costly job! Frank Senn of the Longshore com munity decided to do something about it this year. Mr. Senn spray ed a three foot band of Simazine and Amitrol T around the vine to control weeds and grasses. These materials are two of several ma terials recommended by the Clemson Horticulture department. The Simazine, often used on corn, prevents grasses from germinat ing and .the Amitrol T kills weeds ori contact. T. B. Boozer, of Dead fall community, and Mrs. Frances Neel, of the Longshore community are using these chemicals this year, too.- “Little Things Count Big,” this is the title of an article in the February issue of the Poultry Tribune.,” It is pointed out that a difference of one per cent in rate of lay is almost impossible to see without accurate records. Yet, this one per cent is worth a- bout ten cents per bird. Daily feed records, too, tell a big story. By watching daily feed consump tion, the flock owner can detect disease or something wrong in the early stages. Many of our farming operations ‘ depend on “the little things” to insure a profit.
