DAIRY INDUSTRY UNDER
BOLL-W[EYIL CONDITIONS
(By Dr. W. W. Long- --Director of
Farm Demonstration Work in
South Carolina.)
I shall discuss the subject assigned
me, namely: "Dairy Industry Under
Ball Weevil Conditions," from two
standpoint: and then submit a few
general remarks.
1. From the stanpoint of the land
lord:
Dairying has never appealed to the
farmers (if South Carolina for the
reason that they didr not have to de
pend upon this tyl)e of farming for
the moking of their livelihood. The
South Carolina farmer, generally
speaking has a nautral antipthy for
the dairy cow, this is especially true
if he has to milk. Tiaking into consid
ration tihe nun.ber of cows in ti
State there art' more women n'lking
cows in < uth Carolina than most
any otber Ftate in me Ui.... N " t
because Scuth Carolinian zmf not ex
eeedingly <olsderate of their women
folk. for the:; are noted for thcir
chivalry, but the milking of a coV is
too small a thing to attract the av
crage South Carolina farmer. Undet
boll wee%-il conditions the dairy cow
will have to play one of the most imi
porinat parts in furnishing the food
and at the same time being a source
from which the farmer can derive
considerable part of his income. A
herd of 25 average cows, figuring on
a butter fat basis under normal condi
tions. will bring to the farmer each
month a check for something like $250
or more. Under boll weevil conditions
this check will be looked forward to
with unusual interest, for it will keep
th' farmer on a cash basis, which is
absolutely necessary. The man who
will survive this crisis is the man who
will keep out. of the hands of the time
merchants and banks. I might add
keep out of any kind of debt. Take
Mississippi, for instance, when the
boll weevil first entered Mississippi
xhere was not a creamery in the State
and a very few people who lived there
had ever seen a creamery. They now
have 35 creameries and the dairy pro
ducts shipped out of the State in 1919
amounted to over $5,000,000. The pro
duction of butter increased 30 per
cent during the same year. This de
velopment of creameries was for the
purpose of meeting boll weevil con
ditions. While the little creamery at
Darlington is now retrunink to the
farmers $2,000 per month for milk c
and thereby turning loose in the town I
of Darlington during the year prac- N
tically $25,000, it will furnish a mar- I
ket in a very short time for thousands t
of dollars of dairy products. We es
tablished the creamery at Darlington t
a year or two too early. We had hoped
to develop the dairy industry at least
in a small way before the boll weevil; t
arrived. Nevertheless the wisdom of
establishing the creamery will be rec- i
ognized now in a very short time.
2. From t he Standpoint of the Ten- I
ant and Share-croper.
Milk is considered onc of the most I
valuable of our food products and at i
the same time the most economical.|<
The tenant and share-cropper must
of necessity feed himself ,otherwise <
he will bring disaster to the landlordif
as well as to himseif. It will be ab
solutely necessary for the tenant I
and share-cropper, along with the
landlord ,to work out some scheme by
which the tenant and share-cropper
can receive an aimount of milk each
day for his family. This may he done t
by the teniant ai sha re-cropper own- I
in gthe cows and the land1lord furin
ishing a general pasturei, or the land
lord m1av own the cows a ndi sell to
the tenant and share-cropper at actualt
co(st (of thle neicessarly a mou nt oIf m ilk I
to be mred in their fainililes each day.
Of (cour1se. this i:: a matter' of detail
that will have to be worked out on
ealch I'rm. WithI an abundant supply
of milk, a good garden anid sow these I
hiaborers can fe d themselv1 es ini a mnost 2
e'onomillical way. U nter boll1 wveevil
conditions, it will be( necelssary to see
that the mnilk ('ow an sowl Mo(f the ten
ant and share-c ropp(er are properly
eared for aind Ied a :s it i:n the mule
which hel plows.
As I hvive staitedl, I am(1 not (one of
those whoi bllieve that t he boll weevil
is a bllessinIg in disL'ise, for1 1 know
