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

sent eleven thousand crack
Redcoats to Canada and, in a
communique to Washington, de
manded an apology and the re
lease of the prisoners. 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.

the District UDC meeting

ANDERSON'S
When you look for the most room
and the smoothest ride and the best value,
you’ll end up with a
Chevrolet wagon every time.
Top left: Chevy II Nova Station Wagon. Foreground Chevrolet Inipala Station Wagon. Top right: Chevelle Malibu Station Wagon.
Chevrolet Impala, roomiest in its class. While extra
roominess is perhaps the best reason for buying a
Chevrolet wagon, consider, also, these bonuses: Body
by Fisher, Chevrolet dependability, flush-and-dry rocker
panels and Magic-Mirror finish. Chevelle Malibu,
smoother, quieter ride. A Malibu not only gives you
a Full Coil suspension ride, but the body mountings are
double-cushioned. And Chevelle carries plenty. It opens
wide. 54.6 inches, to be exact, 28.5 inches high. Flip the
second seat down and you've got 86 cubic feet of cargo
space for all your gear. Chevelle was built to take a lot.
Chevy II Nova, best equipped for the money.
All-vinyl upholstery is standard. Flush-and-dry rocker
panels that clean themselves are standard. Separate
panels beneath each fender to inhibit rust are standard.
Mono-Plate rear suspension to smooth the ride is
standard. Price? Below standard.
