(Sunphoto). County Advisory Council meets The Newberry County Exten sion Advisory Council met re cently in the Agricultural Build ing Auditorium. County Staff members of the Clemson Uni versity Cooperative Extension Service met with the Council. The Extension Service staff explained the new committee structure and how it is oriented toward Total Resource Develop ment. They emphasised that the new committee structure was not limiting the Extension Ser vices role in Agriculture, but broadening that role to offer services to all aspects of life in the county. It was pointed out that Agriculture is continu ing to grow in Newberry County producing $10 million income annually. Much of this amount comes from Dairy and Poul try industries, each producing about $3 million annually. Extension workers also re ported on their activities in the area of Home Economics. There are 15 adult homemaker clubs in Newberry County with a to tal enrollment of approximately 300 persons. The trend now is toward developing special inte rest groups, for adults and young people, in the various areas of Home Economics. The Extension Staff also gave a report of their activities in the 4-H Club Program. There are 42 in-school 4-H clubs with a total enrollment of approxi mately 1200 young people be tween the ages of 9 and 19. There were 30 members from the county attending the various 4-H camps last summer, and 13 attended the State 4-H Con ference at Clemson of whom 5 won State Awards. The purpose of the Extension Advisory Council is to define areas which they feel need em phasis in the Extension Ser vice’s activities in Newberry County during the coming year. In keeping with this purpose, various action committees re ported on the problems need ing emphasis. Continued emphasis on im proving soil fertility and liming, an urgent need to keep corn producers imformed during the present corn crisis, and conti nued education in the safe use of pesticides and the impor tance of continued pesticide use in all phases of Agricul tural production were the main points with regards to Agrono my and Conservation. The Dairy Committee felt em phasis should be placed on get ting more producers on testing programs and on better use of records in feeding, breeding and managing our dairy herds. The Livestock Committee sug gested support for dog control legislation, increased participa tion in performance testing pro grams, and more attention to better management practices. The Forestry Committee re commended continued educa tion efforts to evaluate and es tablish appropriate methods of hardwood control and also point ed out the need for custom planting services in the county. The Poultry Committee re ported that lack of adequate labor, dead bird disposal, avai lability of litter and waste dis posal were the major problems facing the poultry industry. The 4-H and Youth Commit tee indicated that a County 4-H council was desirable and that the 4-H program needed more parental encouragement and in volvement and seemed to think that a Parent’s night was one means to this end. They also indicated a need for Special In terest Clubs, Officer-Leader Training Meetings, increased Club Week, better demonstra tion material for meetings, more Adult Volunteer Leaders, Ju nior Leaders and Teen Leaders. The Community and Civic Af fairs Committee agreed that the one thing essential to de velopment of the area is a county-wide water system. Some of the other things which the committee agreed should be top priority projects are: cMid waste disposal, rural housing and recreation. The Consumer Information Committee suggests that pro gram emphasis be directed to the areas of management-with emphasis on time and money, clothing and food buying. The Family Living Committee recognized the increased inte rest by people of all ages in making things with the hands. To meet these needs the com mittee suggests the formation of Creative Hobby Clubs and the use of all available resource people to teach techniques in fancy work, refinishing and crafts. The Nutrition Committee re ported that the area which needed stress was the creation of an awareness among the peo ple that nutrition is a problem. The officers elected by the Extension Advisory Council are: Chairman: W. E. Senn; Vice Chairman: Mrs. Harold Pitts; Secretary: Wayne Satterwhite.
