of cattle that were be.ng hand-fed s
through the winter.
Of course, it costs something to fix H
for grazing like that. But it costs ev-.M
en more to barn-feed the cattle §
through the winter. And when you
ccunt grazing cost against the gains S
you get, the profit is good. g
A big part of the grazing cost is S
seed. And growing numbers of our, g
farmers over the state who are prof- S
iting from this year-around grazing g
are beginning to produce their own; 8
planting seed. When that is done, 1 §
costs are cut in two, and we only j g
have the lime, fertilizer, and oceas- g
ional inoculation to buy. jg
This year-around grazing is about jg
the most significant thing that’s hap- g
pening to the agriculture^ of South \\
Carolina today. Mechanization and j!*
irrigation are important too. But S
they help make this grass farming j :jj
more effective and practical. j£
Your county agent and SCS man
are right up on this subject of year- j-t
around grazing. They can burnish
particulars and help you.
Among our slumbering possibili- il
ties, this giant is just beginning to !•:
wake up. I can see nothing in the
way of us riding grass to a new glo-
ry in the agriculture of South Caro-
lina. 1 S
Whither The Mule
„ I came across South Carolina the g
other day and believe I saw more ;•
tractor outfits in the fields than g
muleS. g
And what is happening here in g
that regard is also taking place else-
.vhere. I have before me the census g
figures for Maryland. Ten years ag)
. they had 82 thousand horses and 27
fh.rusand mules. Now they have 46 it
ti'.ousand horses and nine thousand g
mules. That’s just a little over half ij
( the horses and a third of the mules g
they had 10 years ago. S
And with practically all values up g
greatly since then, mule -and horse
values are down a lot. In 1939 their g
horses were valued at-$112 each and K
their mules at $132. Now thsse fig-
1 ures are $76 and $94 respectively. 11-[
One likely reason for that is that they g
average older. Farmers are not re-
placing them. Many of the animals *’•
are kept for sentimental reasons un- jl:
I til they just die out. And mules are j-j
l going faster than horses. Some of the £
1 latter are kept- for riding, while the :•!
mule holds no such appeal. i.
Whether it’s good or bad, work
1 stock are on the skids downward.,
And my how they have gone in just
I recent years!
1 The change from the mule to the
1 machine is a big one, a revolution- 1
ary one. We w r ere generations in lear-
) ning the w'ays of the mule and how
! to get the best out of him. Now the
tractor is dumped in our laps and the
aging mule is turned into the pasture '
! to graze out his last days or he goes[
into cans for dog food. We have a lot'
to learn about the machine in a short
time, if we are to get the best out of
it. Hundreds of farmers have learned
a lot at schools put on by the county
agents out in the counties. There the 1
engineers from Clemson and the farm
implement men have taught opera
tion and care of the machine. And
