The Newberry Sun, Newberry, S. C., Thursday, May 11, 1967—PAGE 3 UDC chapter names officers The Calvin Crozier Chapter, UDC, met at 4 p.m. on May 2 in the home of Mrs. F. G. Hartley. Associate hostesses were Mrs. S. C. Paysinger, Miss Mazie Dominick, Mrs. Vanessa Holt, Mrs. A. C. Garlington, and Mrs. J. L. Feagle. Upon arrival the members enjoyed a brief social period during which the hostesses served delicious refreshments. The meeting was opened with prayer by the president, Mrs. C. S. Owens. In the absence of the chaplain Miss Dorothy Buz- hardt, Mrs. W. H. Tedford led the opening ritual, after which The County Agents Column Put Up Some Silage According to DHIA figures, milk production per cow in South Carolina has increased in direct relation to increased silage feeding. Our more successful dairy farmers are feeding up to ten tons of silage per cow per year. Small grains and surplus winter grazing can make good quality silage. Highest feed value comes when this silage is cut in the milk to dough stage. Cut at this stage; it’s necessary to reduce the high moisture content for proper ensiling. This can be done by either wilting the forage or by adding a dry feed material such as ground snapped corn or citrus pulp. Usually, it’s easier to add the dry material. Approximately 100 pounds per ton should be used. Most farmers do not like this added expense of “buying feed” to put into the silo. How ever, it should be borne in mind that very little of the feed value of the ground corn or citrus pulp is lost in the silo. The improved quality of silage usually offsets this added ex pense. A silo full of grass silage is cheap insurance against sum mer drought. It holds up milk production when grazing is low. Many dairy farmers now feed silage year-round for optimum milk production. Plant More Milo More and more of our farm ers are finding milo or grain sorghum a good “second crop.” This crop has two big advan tages as compared to corn. It can be planted later than corn and can stand more dry weather than corn. Bird damage has thus far held back the production of Milo. Now new varieties are bird resistant and yields are climbing. Recommended variet ies this year include: RSG10, Arkansas (514, and Georgia G15. Planting dates for Grain are from June 15 to July 1. As with corn, Milo responds to £ dequate fertilization. Five- to-seven hundred pounds of complete fertilizer such as G-12- 12 should be used per acre. Then 40 to GO pounds of Nitrogen per acre should be applied as sidedressing. On Milo for grain, Atrazine can be applied post-emergence for grass and weed control. 4-H Calf Club Meeting All Newberry 4-H Calf Club members are invited to a meet ing at the farm of C. M. Satterwhite on Friday, May 12. Training on Dairy Judging and calf management will be given by our Clemson Dairy Special ist, Fred Pardue. The Satterwhite Dairy Farm is located near Bush River Church. The meeting begins at four o’clock. Mrs. F. Scott Elliott, historian, presented Mrs. J. F. Hawkins, who gave an interesting and informative program on “Dip lomacy.” Mrs. Hawkins began her re marks by referring to diplom acy as a science, using tact and skill in negotiating with coun tries and people. She went on to relate that when Northern diplomat’s efforts to win warm sympathy from England was met with cold neutrality, the Confederate diplomats had hopes of an easy victory in their job, especially since the public press and the rulers of England seemed to favor the South for several reasons. The South sent two of her ablest statesmen, James M. Mason and John Slidell to Brit ain. Their boat ran the block ade, reached Cuba, and they embarked upon the British steamer Trent. Captain Wilkes of the Union warship San Jac into, lay in wait, fired two shots across the Trent, boarded her, and removed Mason and Slidell and their secretaries. England was furious that her vessel had been so treated, and BUILDING PERMITS Viola Wells, repairs, 2322 Wallace street. Ralph Long, 200G Lee St., addition. Mack Gilliam, 704 Coates street, repairs.

Wash ington conceded, and they fin ally reached England, but their efforts to interest England in their cause failed. Slidell had been instructed to go on to France and offer Napoleon sev en million dollars in cotton to pay for a fleet to relieve the Confederacy and establish com munications with Europe. Nap oleon was ready to recognize the Confederacy and to send a fleet to the mouth of the Mis sissippi river if England would cooperate, but England would not. Representatives were also sent to Russia, Holland, Den mark, and Spain, without suc cess. Secretary Benjamin failed in his foreign policy, yet he was an extremely valuable man to the President of the Confeder acy. The blame cannot be plac ed upon Mason and Slidell either. They worked hard to do a job that could not be done. Near the close oof the war there were rumors of various “missions” and possible alli ances. Many would have prom ised France or England almost anything to get recognition, but President Davis would not go along with underhanded deals. After the minutes were read reports of committees were called for, and other matters of business were attended to. Mrs. A. T. Neely reported on the District UDC meeting which she and Mrs. O. O. Cope land attended recently. The following officers were elected for the next year: Pres. Mrs. C. S. Owens; first vice president, Mrs. R. E. Hanna; second vice president, Mrs. Wm.
