Foods, Feed Crops
Clemson, July 2. — There is still
opportunity this season for South
Carolina farmers to produce more
food and feed for home and farm
consumption, says D. W. Watkins, di^
rector of the Extension Service, as
serting that the changing conditions
make It more and more important t
and^rgent to^rartlce'TfveHaFhdme
farming. ' I
To this ena the extension leaders
urge plentiful plantings of such food
and feed crops as sweet potatoes,
cowpeas. sorghumj soybeans, and
pearl millet or sudan grass. These
several crops have various possi
bilities tor food or feed or both, it
is stated.
ft
Sweet potatoes, for example, offer
a triple opportunity M_foOd for the
farm family, feed for livestock, and
sales for cash. Sorghum may be
plants for production !>£ syrup and
it also may be planted in success
ive seedings for feed ‘for livestock.
Cowpeas have a doubly possibility in
the production of food for the fam
ily table and in the production of
hay for livestoi^k.
Soybeans can be grown for live
stock grazing and for hay production
and there are certain Varieties that
might be produced for human food.
The home demonstration agents have
recipes for the use of these edible
varieties of soybeans.
Pearl millet is one of the best crops
to plant for grazing for livestock.
This crop also may be sown in suc
cessive plantings. While pearl mil-
.let is consider^ much more desirable
for grazing toan sudann grass if mil
let seed are not available sudan grass
might be planted instead.

Our tax is the lowest per capita,
or scmiething like that, according
to an official, who has been frequent
ly quotec^. Certainly that doesn’t
mean anything at all and will only
confuse ttie public mind. We d<m’t
pay taxes by the head, except poll
taxes; most other taxes are reckoned
on some other basis. If our total of
tax collections were $50,000,000 and
have been .paid to the county.
Clearly we don’t define the exact
status of the state as it is related to
the counties. But we have muddled
along for fenerations, to why bother
about it?
Some who are interested in county
government advocate conaolidation of
counties. And it is apparently a
good proposal; but suppose the small

! Bengal, 1770—ten million deaths;
We shudder with
horror at the death tolls of today;
but a famine is in prospect which
may make these figures look small
by comparison, and ,which may turn
our hair gray before its time.
The real American .will tighten
his belt to the backbone before he
will allow his fellow men in Europe
to starve to death. ‘There is cer
tainly no more “real American" than
the American farmer and he will
pull his belt the tightest. He is like
that. He alone can stop the thing
called “Famine"—and he will stop
it if the situation is as dangerous as
it appears to be and if he is told of
it by the Government in time.
Incidentally—sincere but hysteri
cal writers must not be allowed to
stampede the people into a call on
Congress for war; for even if we
were prepared for such a venture,
humanity would demand that we
first insure against the paramount
issue of mass starvation, nbefore we
took the fatal step. After that—tf
