Use mowing machine and I rotated grazing to keep pastures < producing evenly and for weed con trol. 4. It's time to seed annual ^ summer grazing using either pearl millet or sweet Sudan grass. 5. Use proper surhmer management pracf tices on permanent >vinter pastures to produce greater yields of new j growth next fall and, winter. ? POULTRY 1. Keep litter dry in brobder houses to help control coceidiosis. 2. Cull all weak, slow-growing pullets and sell as b-TMWrs; 3. Cull -r the nonlaying hens and sell.

Hancock JETTnjS~TN REVERSE Albert Einstien is dead! , of al :he conspicuously laudatory thing' said about him was that "He sav farther than the telescope an< deeper than the microscope." W ith the eye of genius he pen etrated the universes without am the universes within and doubtles lived in realms superbly ecstatic Innocently enough, his probing gei ius led to discoveries that eventu uti'd iwlu'llii buildup Of atof bomb, calculated to destroy ma from the face of the earth, a n ft? currently thetgreatest threat to th survival of mankind. But it- is the same' agelon, story that where the spider get his poison there the bee gets he honev. So the same genius that le to inconceivably devastating pasi ^mrtTr-rTor ?vil. Just whether th more evil of the possibilities b realized rather than the more ber eficial possibilities, remains to b seen. The" hope that the good wi exceed, rest upon the fui-ther hop that somehow Jesus Christ and H Spirit will possess mankind, whil it is day, or else the fatal nigl cometh; and no man can be save< Tho greatest need tuday, is m for more genius, but for some d vinely guided power to chann genius into ways of life. Fortunat< ly or unfortunately as ~ the. cas may be, every possibility for ger I ills for good is parallelled the po: sibility of genius for evil, and her< I in resides the hope for the peat of the world. The genius of mankind has dr ven the sons of men to their lal atories, where they are laborin day and night to bring forth ne ways and means of life upon th ^"planet. Throughout these laboratoi es genius wrought miracles, but a long with the miracles, possibilil ies of disaster. Unless some way i found to turn men into ^rheir pray ing closets, even as they have bee turned into their laboratories, mar kind is heading for a fall and grea will be the fall! The need of th ivru* 10 x\jk ? spuibuai genius i 'parallel scientific geniqs. so ma? *terfully riding mankind of t,h 20th Century. * Kroeber in his Anthropolog says that the tragedy of genius rt sides in the fact, nature is so cor tituted that 1)0 percent of these ar lost. Of course He was deplorin this sad commentary on society conservational set up. As a matte of fact, unless some way can b found to assure mankind that ger ius can he Christianized, it wer better that t.here he no further ac ditions to have Genius in Reverse as experiments in atomic researc suggest. To date, it must he ac mitted that our atomic explosion have shown destructive possihilil ies, while the Constructive possibi lities have been lacking. Better a thousand times no mor genius in reverse. The social an econofnic maladjustments o f th I age somehow .hinge about geniu in reverse. The world wars a r. fighting and the death struggl between capital and labor and pre gressive deterioriation of the hi man physique are all related t 1 th? genius in reverse. The reig of crime in this our native land i largely to he explained by geniu r:i,_ ill 1CYUI.1C. WUI [M ttiu 1 IIK' with men of genius, with geniu in reverse. FronfL the^^ahovc- the eonehtsio is forced upon us, that the greri need of the age is not for Eins tiens hut for Billy Grahams; an Schweitzers and Livingstones an missionaries, such as swarmed ot ipf the North to live and die anion] newly-freed Negroes of the South T.hq genius of those early mission aries has never been fully told t the world. They were in very trut After IS weeks or earlier of pos sible, separate hens and toms oi range. This will avoid injury t hens from early mating. 3* If no already :;taiu-a, begin feeding oat when poults are taken 1o iange. 4 Watch for droppy poults and re move as soon as noticed. 5. Ge an early diagnosis in case of < disease ; outbreak. k ^ God' noblemen and noblewomen. They were the finest flower o f Christian knighthood. That was i genius such as the world has selI dom seen. T.he world waits impatiently for a spiritual Renaissance to save the world from genius in reverse. It would be tragic were it not for faint signs that the world sense the great trouble and finds thatf diagnosis is more important than - therapeutics and ^prognosis. The"! hankering hunger of the human nenrt is a good sign! . T.he world needs more Good Samaritans than more Einsteins! . 4' c ' In This Our Day w ' MB ?l n I I || ii ^bMb 17 e H> CYA. Chick O e 1- '4 A Message to Graduates t< e jj This article Is dedicated to our w e Mny and June graduates of all le- 01 ' ' l-' Wifhrvi.t a eKaflnir nf -i /tr.nltf g I graduating time from any level of *1 lt training is among an indivi-J j dual's most happy experiences o f C life! And especially io tho??fore- lf going true if the individual grad- 0 ej uating is still young in years. ST T.hose of you who are graduating tv in May or June are numbered a- P w mong the select. The foregoing is a true despite the fact that the past }_ several years have in general been d >e prosperous ones, and despite the *r fact the standards of living of the ai , so-call masses have been increased. a< j_ Moreover, you should always re- P g member and never forget that you I w nor your parents .have paid all it h costs to keep you in schnnl Fvan if ^ rj you attended a private institution ^ the amount which you or your par- hi ^ ents paid had to be supplemented o: s by Us the People. A large number a: of people have contributed financial n ly to your education who themsel- w ^ ves have never had your opportuni- *a lt ty for an education. And, ever if ? e you have attended an institution su a' 0 pported by public taxes, you need not be reminded that We the Peoc pie "footed the bill." What -has been said here is no attempt to3' y 1 speak disparagingly of the sacra- ri j fices your parents have made for P J your education. Even in the so call ^ ,e free schools the extras amount to %v ^ a considerable sum these days. >s In brief, for a long number of11 ,r years, the number of years depend 81 lC on your level of graduation, y o u ^ have been on the receiving end of P ,c the line a consumer and not a proi ducor. The total amount you have ? , consumed during these years is a ls ^ considerable one. In addition to ^ l_ being on the receiving end of the P s line you, so to speak, have lived cl _' in a protected society. Your school j_ has been*your protector. It has a tried to keep yoU from maki e mistakes. And, when you did makej ^ (j ! them, they were quietly called t o'. ?' e, your attention. Moreover, you were i ^ 1S assisted by your schqol in correct- c< Q | ing the error, \vhat"'or it, m n y ? e have been. However, it can n o t w be over emphasized that you, on leaving school, will move into a ri Q1 competative society. Your- mis- a n takes now will not be quietly call-; s ed to your attention. Neither will ^ o you find much help nor sympathy (j in correcting your blunders in S! s life. Hut rather they will find their n i ways to the newspaper, the street ^ 7r|-copnerK and-t+m gossiping public^ ' lt | Be the foregoing as it may, you! ^ j have a great deal for which t o be C1 j I grateful to your parents as well as P ^ to the public. Thus, I sincerely ^ feel that each of you, on leaving ? school should sign, a promesory 'c ( note that you, Jo-hn Doc, promise / to pay to the public for value receiced, not dollars and cents that n' ^ you will never he able to do hut a hi life of sincere and devoted service r< to humanity. And that you pro- ei - rnise to use your superior training li n not for selfish gains, nor to explot y< o the masses but to assist them i n 81 t their struggles to reach higher and re s nobler goals of life, assist them in d< i. raising their standards of living - and enjoying some of the' good li< t things of this world. T' a ? Congratulations and beat wishes Y< 4 to each of you. wl i THE P>L* Farms and Folks / r* J. M. Eleazer, Clemson Ex> nsion Information Specialist \RE IN IRRIGATING TOBA20 Our tobacco specialist, J. M. Leis, says we need to be careful a>ut the mineral content of the wa r we use in irrigating tobacco, lis specially applies to water om deep wells and ponds built marl beds. In some cases such ater has been found to have too uch lime or other minerals in it ir tobacco. Too mucl^ lime hufts ie quality of tobacco, he points it. ? And also is fearful on introducig teitain?diseases 1/110 lotracco elds if run-off water from dis6e d area i^ used for irrigating. These sound like .common sense, recautions worth looking -after. Irrigation is proving very benecial on tobacco, as on most other lings. We need to be ever alert 1 of these angles, lest we get urt somewhere afong the line. UR GREAT POTENTIAL Our grass man, Hugh Woodle, ills me if all present knowledge ere applied to our range country at' West they could increase their razing lands we could increase leir output 475 percent! We had cases last year where oastal Bermuda grass was handed right -and they got a little rain that can also be supplied by irriation when it does not come nairally) where yields of good hay er acre ran from 5 to 9 tons per ere. Natural range in Florida prouced 17 pounds of beef per acre l a year. The improved part made a much as 1,060 pounds of beef per ere. This illustrates that increase otential in this part of the coun:y Hugh was talking about. We ave it. Preparation, seeding, fertjgnHnn, m ana gam ant, all of t.haaa flings go into it. In late years we ave started waking up to the truth f~ all of this. We lived cotton long nd pretty well mastered it. How >-grow other things equally well ill take time. But the know-how . already at hand to increase oar razing for instance, 475 percent ccording to Hugh. [ORE CORNSince we have been taking corn ?riously in recent years, the aveage yield has picked up about 50 ercent in South Carolina. And ut for the past four dry years it rould have likely doubled'by now. Npw folks, for the crop occupylg our greatest acreage", that is omething. It has meaning in many irections. More livestock, dairy roaucts and so on. The 5-Point Clemson Plan for rowing corn now widely used. It i: 1. Thorough preparation of soil) . Liberal fertilization. 4. More lants per acre. 5. Early shallow ultivation only. Under this plan we now have good many farmers qualifying )r our 100 Bushel Corn Club year, ven last year, one of the driest n record, 34 farmers made 10 0 ushels per acre or more on their jntest fields. And only about 15 f those irrigated,?Many?more" ould have qualified it they^had otten the need shower at the ight time or had irrigation availble. 1IGH ON THE CHICKEN You are familiar with the expresion "eating high on the hog", \eaning you are living well, eating am rather than hock. Well, with "the great progress eing made in growing better hickens on less and less feed per ound, our poultry specialist, P. [. Gooding, recently pulled this ne, " lot of folk who have to eat >w on the hog are now eating igh on the chicken." Broiler prouctions has been pheomenal in recent years. Georgia i as grown into the giant in this ?placing.New Jersey by a consid-' ate margin, and., still . growing ke young corn. In t.he past few :ars, South Carolina has started rowing fast in broilers too. Large saring houses and dressing plants >t the state. We are now growing about a bilan broiler a year in this country hat sounds like a terrific number. Bt it is about 6 per,person: Ana ho couldn't eat twice that many vVai-- i . . Mi M.

BUSINESS LEAGtiE SETS lyil CTON g 7, p/iix. ANNUAL CONVENTION Cincinnati, Ohio?Supporting action of its 1954 Chicago convention, th?^ National Negro Business League, through its board of directors meeting here last week, voted to old its 1955 con-. vention in Houston, Texas,?Oeto- j ber 5-7. 1? h The Houston Negro Chamber of Commerce will serve as "host for. the business interest organize tion. The Houston chamber h a s been planning for the convention since last fall, but the exact convention dates were not announ-j cea until tne recent rsriSB-L board meeting. A lightlight of the Hous ton sessions will be a goodwill ^visit to Mexico City and other lo-~^ 'cations in Mexico. While in Cincinnati, tlie NNB L'a board was entertained a t a banquet sponsored by the Negro Bu$iness and Professional League of Greater Cincinnati, on which occasion the principal b address was delivered by Jesse O. Thomas, Atlanta, Ga., who was associated with Booker T. Washington, the League's founder, during the famed educator's latter years as head of Tuskegee Institute.'* . . " The NNBL's board planned a convention program which is designed to give greater emphasis to the promotion and servicing of I local affiliation of t'ne body. This action supported recomm^ndat19ns of the League's president, Horace Sudduth, Cincinnati busr^ nessman and owner of the Manse Hotel, at which the board meet-' ings were held. Another action of the board saw the adoption of a resolution recommending that : steps be taken to foster. Joint conventions in a year without tiring in the least, BOYS ARE THAT WAY Last week I told you about tearing the seat out of my first long pants at. the campaign meeting out ' there at Ballentino. Well, sir, that was one of my rrto3t embarrassed moments. 'When that desk toppled over, the loud ripping of t' h a t strong cloth attracted everyone's I attention, and the speake slowed up and looked over that way. I grabbed the torn flap up, leaning over, and tried to hold it i n place, until I could reach the bushes at the edge of the grove. But complete coverage, as I hurried for cover. J Down there in the protected haven of the bushes, I puilcd those pants off so as to better appraise the damage. They were torn across about 8 inches and down over a foot. And I was five miles from home! I found a t.horn bush down there^ 1 Wtth the long slender thorns T pen ed it up as best I could. But those pants sure did look funny tucked up all that way in the rorr. Ben came when he saw me walking hunched over down there. He hadnot finished laughing, but went in to the buggy and got a raincoat he had borrowed for the day. I put that on to hide my torn pants and walked back up to the, meeting. It was a sunrtnier day and that rubber raincat soorf had me in a sweat for sure. But a barbecue dinner was to be served at noon and I wasn't about to miss that. So I l sweated it out until the feed was over, trying to keep the inner fires quenched with glass after glass of cold lemonade. Then I left. Man, pulling that raincoat off w$g one of the sweetest reliefs I ever experienced I was plum wet' under it. < \ * Board Holds Cincii , ??? .... ~ ectors Notional Negro Busine: recently at the Manse Hotel i 3.
