C.?Agricultj ral training for Negroes in Sout Carolina has made encouragin progress through the Division < Agriculture at South Carolina I & M. college, the only institv t;on supported by the State < South Carolina for this work i mong Negroes. _ Funds for expansion of - tt work in the four departments < inu Lnvisign 01 Agriculture nai been requested for 1939 to cai fo rseveral new projects propose in the 1939 program. According to W_ M. Buchana Dean of the IDivision of Agricu ture at South Carolina State i & M. college, "Agriculture i State college is in process * change, so that it can analyze-ar solve the problems of agrieultui that now confront the farme and. which exist in rural situi tifftio." Adjustments in the progra are designed to make scientif agriculture point the way to bui ing, enriching and conserving tl sol. Attention is directed to tl fact anew that the forests aT the farmeds' wood lot are valui ble economc crops. The paper ii dustry that is coming south d ' m^nds more attention be given trees of the forest as sources i wor.lth. ? The. breeding -of- farm anima for milk and meat receives mo empdasis. Replenishing the tr ble from field and cardans is t.1 fert'le field by which substit tions are emphasized for the d minishing cash crops, cotton, ai tobacco. The program for milk and me production and the production < vegetables and. fruits for the t ble is not' pui^fed at the expen of other phases of " agricultur of other phases of agricultur There is now under constructs a building to house farm macri ery so it can be used in tcac.hir its use and its economic produ tivc value to the students who turn will take its use to the far and fields. Reports from four departmon of the work in agriculture poi out this new emphasis. In agr nomy, soil improving crops occ py the larger part of the pr - . gram. In animal husbandry, di ry cnttlc and swine have iccei ed most attention, while beef ca . tie have had no part in the pr g'ram. This year, requests a made for the inclusion of a he of beef cattle.? ? ?

Milk and milk* prodif "ucts from the dairy are delivered re only to persons and families conso nppfprl with thn nnllnrro T'hc ;d white horse-drawn delivery truck, neatly labeled with the name of n the college, is very attractive on 1- the road as the dairyman makes his rounds. With the expanding it herd, there is a rather acute need if for more pasture land, a calf and id heifer barn, and a creamery. Rere ouisitions arc being made for r, these additions and they are to a- be included in the program of expansion about to be started for m a bigger Agricultural Division. ! ic The swine *?ay-out has recently Id been . improved to facilitate the re beginning of an extensive brood ie ing program. One large central id houst?r? one small brood house.1 a- three pasture lots, and two pasn ttfrcs for boars .comprise the e- plant at the present time. A pure to bred herd of registered Poland of iChina is being started. It conj sisls .of- one boar, a sow, and a Is gilt.--Two lyred gilts have been re engaged and will be added to the |V ; herd in January, 10.19.

The greatest concern at e. I the present time is over the limin| ited land available foi* an?ex? n- panding herd. jg.j There -are- eleven?head of sheep. c-i on the college farm. Headed by in! one purebred Southdown ram, this m) small herd of grade sheep is rapidly expanding. ThVough this ?s hedd the animal husbandry dent partment hopes to demonstrate to o-1 farmers the possibilities of sheep u- raising as a profitable sidelne. o- The college has no herd of beet ii-' cattle. With beef cattle playing v- a mode and more important part it-1 in the farm life of South CaiQo-jlina, the animal husbandry dere partment feels that these animals rd should be included in its pro_ 1 gram: It ia working toward, that a! end at the present time.

' ' ' I The Poultry Department: The Poultry Department which has steadily improved under the direction of K. W. G.

Teacher training in agricultu-1 ral education, under the supervision cf J. P Burgess, resident and Itinerant Teacher Trainer, is offered to junior and senior stu-' dents who plan to teach vocational agriculture in -the public schools of South Carolina. Courses offered for this training are: Introduction to Vocational fcduca- ( tion; School and Community Or^ ganization; Observation and Met-1 hod of Teaching;. Practice teaching in agricultural training s done n Orangeburg County Tranirig school, at Elloree, Webber school at Eastover, Great Branch school, near rangebug, and Calhoun Uoun ty Taining school at St. Mat* | i thews. ! i ne Animal Husbandry Depart ment maintains herds of dairy cattle, swine and sheep. Super-1 ; vised by one member of the Ag-1 ricultural faculty, and operated with student labor, this department is steadily expanding. Its aim is to train students in the art ' of developing and caring for an-' I imals as one of the major enterprises of farming in, South Caro-J lina. It has as a further aim the j development of a superior strain! | of dairy cattle and hogs as a source of good breeding stock for the colored farmers of this state. | At the present time,, the dairy 1 herd kept at the colloge farm con sists of eleven milk cows, five yearlings, and three heifer calves. All animals are purebred, , Guernseys. 1 ' Four registered bulls are out on loan agreement with farmers in diffcrpnt ftarts of the state ; These bulls are being used ex- ] t tensively as a mans of improving the stock of family cows kept by j : farmers in the communities in I which they are located. Six" milk cows, all yearlngs,^ the^ heifer .oal-j loan agreement-were bred by State collfcge. The herd is?nccredited by the State of South Carolina as free from Bang's dis i ease. Each year a test for tuber j culosis is run by a local veterinarian. Since the present herd of Guernseys }vas established in 1933, there neVer has been a reactor to the tuberculin test. The J supervisor of the dairy is completing plans for a line-breeding I program expected to result in a herd uniform in type, high pro ! | duction, and reproduction. | The Program of the Agronomy Divisiopj: Soil imrpoving crops will ocI cupy a larger part in the pro gram of the Agronomy Division! this year. This is a continuation' of a program which was initia1 ted last year on a two and one-j J half acre plant which the college set aside as a demonsrtation ptoL i of the division. The plan was to demonstrate new cropping practices and to introduce new crops and varieties on the college farm with a view to recommend their general use by farmers whn their peformance seemed to warrant ? Last year part of the plot was used to demonstrate methods of distributing fertilizer and cot ton. The methods used were: fertilizer was distributed on one half of the plot in double bands, one on each side of the seed; the other half was distributed in a single band unfler the seed. While the results from last year's trial do not justify drawing any conclusion, they were inteersting and raised some very important quea, tions in the mnds of the agricultural faculty. The trials will I ^ . ma PALMETTO liAfiftR continue on a larger seal enext ( year. ? ?< With legumes last year, plots were planted to crotolnria, mung Knnns iitkI sfrifog lespedP7.a. Rp suits with crotalavia and mung beans indicated that they might be very definitely placed in a Ken eral farming program. The crotalaria might be used as a general soil improving crop. It has the. advantage in that it will bo turned under, where .'legumes- liktCOW p6flg and velvet beans are uf-? ten used for hay and pasture and mpch of the fertility is taken j from the soil. The nftdttg, bcanvseems to have possibility as a catch crop. It is a quick growing legume which matures in about 60 days and might be useful where a short seasoned crop Is wantecTfor soil~ impdovement or hay. It will be given a more extensive-trial this year. A good stand of service lespedeza was not obtained, which is considered a challenge to develop this crop in South Carolina. 193&-39 Progidam Encouraged by thei- efforts last year the division this year will work on an eleven fccre plant. Winted legumes arc being given special attention in the projected program. Plants are being made of Austrian?Winter?Peas, Crimson Clover, Alsike Clover, Bun iClover, Sweet Clover, and^Alfal- , that a crop will be found'whicl will best meet the needs for a winter cover crop, a soil builder and a winter growing hay crop In addition to legume crops, barley is being tried in rotation. The 1 i l : 1?i-i-.-i-J * ? uancy isl uuiuk jsui/sttuLtJU lur oats. "THia is being tried so the value of the_ two crops can be compared in rotation. When these winter crops are removed, ten acres of the demonstration plots will be divided among cotton, peas, and sweet potatoes. 3 1-3 acres to each oi these crops will be planted to" cotton _ and the demonstration 5 with fertilizer distribution which was started last year, will be continued. The peas will follow the barley as a regular soil improving crop. The sweet potato will be ufeed as a variety trial plot, and to test metdods . and practices in commercial sweet potato production. The eleventh acre will be used to introduce new crops, new varieties and to lest any practices which may be introduced. Among the practices which wll be tried tha year will?be?a poison?demonstration for boll weevil control. This will take up about 1-5 acres of land, on the rest will be planted such crops and varieties as may come to the' attention oi the Agricultural Department. , M Wj'KK CO. TEACHERS' ASSO'N.

Dr. Shaw, gave space^ before beginning his "address in order that Mrs. David Britton. the attendance teacher -might make remarks and announcementss after which Dr. Shaw proceeded with his address. He spoke in a pleasing tone but eloquently,?persuasive?and?emphatic. Some of the main points stressed were Education and how i we can get more" out of it. The South has been referred to as -America's?number one economic problem. The South can solve this problem "tf the right "procedure is taken. The South has fine resources: E Natural fResource. 2. Human Resource. These are by nature. 3. Finan j cial Resource. 4. Institional Resource. 5. Techniological or In j dustrial Resource?man made resources. i The South has more than 300 types cf mineral, one half the nation's supply of soft coal; better advantage for cattle raising; 27 per cent of the installed HydroElectric power. But is handicap-, ped by having" to sell its main crops in an unprotected market j and by railroad rates so much nigner tnan those in the North,1 then buy from protected Northern - industries. | Teachers responsibility is to show that only to the etent that these natural resources return a finish product and we have money to buy will there be the^necessary. improvement by these rer sources. Teach boys and girls to do bet ter the things which_they ade_going to do anyway so that they ma$r sol/ve the problem* Some folks are still holding on to the break lever living in thep^st. Forget the past, modernize and push forwadd. Taking advantage of the resources mentioned in a tactful, progressive way the South will in .ime to come be looked upon as America's number one economic opportunity. Mds. S. S.' kice responded to this address. Miss Usher spoke words of thanks. We are anxious to have Dr. Shaw come again. We are grateful to him and to the committee for having *h|m come to us. I Mds. I. H.
