BROWN mis OF
NEED DIVERSIFIED
FARM PROGRAM
Successful Dairyman
Says County Needs
Another Agent to Aid
Farmers.
T Cecil Brown, Laurens county
dairvman. painted a picture of an
improved agriculture in Laurens
county recently in an address oyer
the I^aurens radio station WLBG in
connection with the Laurens Cham
ber of Commerce to secure an addi
tional assistant county agent who,
would devote the largest part of his :
time to cattle, hogs and poultry,- Mr.,
Brown’s remarks are printed below
at the request of the Laurens Cham
ber of Commerce:
In his introductory remarks, Mr.
Brown pointed out that the county
delegation was being asked for an
appropriation of $2,000 for the-ad
ditional assistant agent on the prob
ability that the U. S. Agriculture
departtnent would supplement it
with $2,000 to complete the budget
of $4,000 needed in the program.
He suggested to farmers that they
write or see members of the dele
gation and urge them to make the
appropriation.
"In the annual grazing program
Laurens county rates among the best
in the state,” he hold listeners dur
ing the quarter hour period donated
by the radio. ‘ As evidence of this
statement.’’ he continued, “back in
the latter part of January of this
year, the National Plant Food Com
mittee selected Laurens county as
one of the four stops in South Caro-'
lina to observe annual grazing work.
These men come from various states
as far off as Ohio, Alabama, Missis
sippi. Florida, North Carolina, South
Carolina and many other states.
What -we are now trying to do is cov
er Laurens county acres with a green
cover for soil conservation and prof
itable livestock production, whether
be, dairy, cattle, hogs, or poultry.
Being a farmer myself, I see the
need of this program and if I wasn’t
sold on the program I would riot be
taking my time speaking to you on
this subject. All of you people
know that any program worth while
costs money and we cannot fool our
selves by just simply talkin and
not acting. Our delegation are men
of good minds and business-like abil
ity and are interested in the welfare
of South Carolina.
“Improved leadership has already
been of unlimited help to the farm
population. Under the old system,
farming was done in a wrong way
and everything was work, waste,
weariness, want to such an extent
that most young people were leaving
the farm at the first opportunity to
go to the city which offered them
more promise of comfort.
“However under the leadership of
the county agents and other lead
ers, the comforts of the towns were
added to the beaut yof the fields.
And the farmer has been led to form
a partnership with nature and to
work with, instead of against, na
ture—to feed the land which will in
turri feed the farm animals and
fowls who will in turn nurture the
farmer. “ - v !
“And, now, through intelligent ef
fort we may find that in place of j
wide fields which are growing only
worthless broom sage—and there
are many such idle acres—farmers
may enjoy seeing their flocks and
herds grazing on green and sunny
slopes, and the pleasant rain fall
ing upon the waving fields of com.
“If the people of o^xr city and the
county will work together, new pros
pects who come here to investigate
the possibility of establishing new
industries here will first behold, on
entering our county, the surround
ing rural areas, fertile and produc
tive, covered with grOen crops many
months in the year, with fields full
of flocks and herds and they will
know that this will proide an income
to the farmer so that he may buy
from the city industries. Next these
prospects will find nestled in such
an attractive surrounding a pleas
ant southern city humming with
productive industry.”
