high school's starting ends have
played excellent football this
season, contributing three touch
downs of the 17 scored this sea
son. Ronnie Layton, top. picked
up a fumble to score against

Pig-Pasture Plan
Saves Farm Labor
"Let the grass grow under
their feet,"- says Ellis Boykln of
Turkey, Route 1, -and I'll have
time for other things."
Boykln, one of Sampson Coun
ty's progressive Negro farmers
plans to let between 80 and 100
pigs "harvest" his new Ladino
clover - Kentucky 31 fescue pas
ture. "Let them harvest some of
their own feed," adds Boykln.
C. R. Greene, assistant Negro
county agent for the Agricultural
Extension Service, says Boykln
is one of several Sampson farm
ers to learn . that pigs and pos
ture go well together and leave
time for other important farm
chores.
Greene says Boykin Is convic
ed that a good pasture is Impor
tant in balancing his farm pro
gram. Recently Boykln attended
a group meeting on pastures and
cover crops conducted toy the
farm agent In the Poplar Grove
community. That was the spark
that started Boykln Into action,
says Greene.
He immediately took several
soli samples and began prepar
ing his pasture seedbed on five
and a half acres of well-drained,
sandy loam soli. He plans to
have five brood sows In the near
future and let them do most of
their own foraging for food. It
sounds foolish, says Boykin, but
with plenty of pasture It can be
done.
New sources for old chemicals
have been discovered through pe
trochemical expansion. New
chemicals also are being develop
ed by making them from that ma
gic substance, petroleum. As an
example, epichlorohydrln, like
many another petrochemical,
scarcely was known five years
ago, but now is in great demand
as a starting point for resins, ad
hesives and as a stabilizer for
insecticides.
