Since coming to Laurens county as
an agricultural farm agentf I have
seen the need of an advisory board, or
a council of leading business men, and
leading fanners throughout the coun
ty to aid me in outlining a program
of ‘work to be offered to the people
of the county for years yet to come.
By having such a council ifc will en
able me to put across more efficient
work to the people of my county.
On last Wednesday, January 12,
twelve men gathered at my office at
2:30 p. m. for the purpose of aiding
me in outlining a program of work
for Laurens county. The meeting was
called to order by the county farm
agent, and the purpose of the meeting
was explained briefly, but fully. The
following officers were elected:
G. B. Cannon, county agent, chair
man.
Hayne B. Workman, Clinton, vice-
chairman.
A. H. Moore,. Laurens, secretary*
treasurer,
The following men compose the
board of directors: -w.
L. S. Cook, Fountain Inn, R. F. D.
W. M. Sanders, Laurens, R. F. D.
G. F. Buford, Clinton, R. F. D.

Quie a bit of time was given to the
discussion of the program of work.
The farmers contributed some very
valuable information, or suggestions
on this work. After due consideration
of the work the following program of
work was adopted:

that a copy of the hoove program of
work be sent to Clemson college and
published in pamphlet form to be sent

to have a copy. Dr. Long, director,

to have said program printed for Lau-

Mr. Morgan furthet states:

the time has come where it is going
to get down to real work—both head
and manual work.
From the interest being shown, as
mentioned above, and the conditions
confronting us, and the wonderful op
portunity the Laurens people have at
hand for establishing- a creamery here
with everything to gain and nothing
lose, I cannot see how we can let
such an opportunity pass us by.
Not every town or county in South
Carolina has, or will have such an
offer to establish a creamery in it as
Laurens county has had. There is
such a thing as the same opportunity
coming to us only one time. I do be

General Farm Program for Laurens
County
1. Grow food and feed enough
for the family and all livestock.
(a) Have a good all-year garden
and a home orchard. Produce a sur
plus for canning. •-
(b) Grow all the pork needed for
Pome use. , ...»
(c) Keep one or more good cows
so as to supply aU the milk and but-
*r needed. .
(d) Raise all the poultry and eggs
the family can use and some to selL
(e) Grow suga^ cane or sorghum
for syrup.
(f) Keep some bees for hopey pro
duction.
(g) Grow all the feed needed for
work stock, poultry, hogs and cows
(h) Provide a good- permanent pas
ture for livestock.
(i) Use only good purebred sires in
all classes of livestock.
2. Build up and maintain the fer
tility of the soil.
(a) Rye. oats, vetch, clovers, and
mixtures of small grains and vetch
for fall sowing to be plowed under in
the spring are the crops most com
monly grown during the winter.
(b) Cowpeas, soybeans, nad velvet
beans should be grown as summer soil
building crops.
3. (a) Plant the best cotton seed
obtainable of varieties of proven merit.
(b) Cooperate in reducing the num
ber of varieties grown.
(c) Grow more and better cotton
on fewer acres.
4. Combat promptly all insects,
{pests and plant diseases.

to offer Mv. Wilde, the prospective
creameryman, as we have received
from the University of Wisconsin,
where he taught, and from the bank
ers of his home town, we would be
well pleased by him coming here, and
he would be well pleased by coming.
The thing for us to do now is to get
busy and put Laurens cdunty on the
map in creamery production.
As I have stated in each meeting
or. this proposition, you need not
think you will get rich in a few
months, nor can you handle cows with
no work. You must start and stiek
to it through thick and thin.
I am afraid that a number of farm
ers will not take all into consideration
when they begin to think of the cow.
If you only figure your returns from
butter fat, I can say here now, that
you are going to be disappointed. If
you take into consideration the butter
fat, the value of skim milk, the off
spring, the value of your manure, the
ready market of y<jur feed through
your cow, and a year round employ-
dozen, or $85,60 for one month. The
cosh of feed was $24.17, making a to
tal profit of $61.33 during December,
excluding Mr. Weisner’s labor.
For the three months the 115 hens
produced. 442 dozen eggs, and value
them at 60c per dozen makes a total
of $211.00. Cost of feed for three
months was $72.51 or an average of
$46.16 per month for three months.

““Sheep is one of the most promis
ing side lines developed in McCormick
county at the present time. Flocks
of the county increased about 25 per
cent in number during 1926 and at
present number about 1100. The third
annual carload of lambs was shipped
from the county in June and netted
the farmers $6.83 per lamb. Farmers
have found that the wool pays for the
cqs|t of keeping the sheep the year
round and lambs are a clear profit.
An average of 80 per cent of lamb
production was secured from the flocks

Mr, Patterson continues this work I
am sure it will be to his advantage.

“More interest than ever
the history of the county
before in
has been
shown the past fall in the production
of feed crops and live stock for home
consumption. Practically every farm

tenant, has seeded at least one acre
of wheat to the farm. Local banks
have cooperated m bringing this about

sold by some of the stores in the coun

meat is shipped here from the North

Now, who is to blame, or do we feel
