Our population is increasing at
over two million a year. At that
rate, by 1975 we will need 100 mil
lion acres to feed our folks. It is
not likely that this much new ac
reage can be brought in. But
there is a remedy. Science will
tell us how to get what’s needed
by increasing yields.
“Vertical Farming” that has been
called. We don’t have the labor
nor the available acreage suitable
to cultivation. Btu we do have a
vast frontier of undeveloped pro
duction on the iand now in use.
This is illustrated by' many ex
periences. I was recently at the
Florida Range Cattle Experiment
Station at Ona. There they have
found that the native range pro
duces 13 pounds of beef per acre in
a year. When they improved that
range by clearing, liming, fertiliz
ing and seeding that figure went
above 200 pounds of beef per acre.
And when they ,went one step fur
ther and irrigated it, last year they
got over 1,000 pounds of beef per
acre.
• By applying all the know-how
we have( in the past 30 years we
fcave about doubled our average
yield of cotton in South Carolina,
despite the conning of the boll
weevil in the meantime
Last year at Clemson, corn made
16 bushels of nubbins per acre, it
was so dry. But where some of
this same corn was irrigated just Soon we found
once at tasseling time, they made
72 bushels of good ears per acre!
Yes, the modern way to build
production is to expend vertically
by increasing yields rather than
the old way of expanding laterlly
by increasing acreage to get it.
Yes, science is advancing so fast
that more people are being fed bet
ter now from less acreage. And all
years.
Few such barriers remain any
more. There was a river two miles
back of our place. I never crossed
it until I went to Clemson at the
age of 16 and crossed it only on
the train then.

its of that yet. We have many
potentials for increased yields that
have not been fully employed yet.
Better seed, we have gone far with
that, but our plant breeders are
not through. Soil building and fer

Boy* Ar# That Way
When we were kids, we had a
little bantam hen that started lay
ing in the baby bed that was stor
ed upstairs. Houses didn’t have
screens then and she would wait
around until she found a door ajar
and up she would go.. We tried to
break her, but to no avail.
Soon she became broody and,
since we were anxious for some
little bantams, we set her up there.
After she had been there about
two weeks my brother arid I, who
slept up there, couldn’t sleep much
for things crawling over us. They
brought a lamp up to see what the
trouble was, and mites were all
over us. She'and her nest were
just teeming with them and at
night they spread out to us.
Well, next day we had a clean-;
ing up there, burned the nesting
material, painted the bed with!
kerosene and thought all was well.
And it was for a while. But a
sparrow had built its nest back _oi|

there. And evidently the mites
had found it too and put up there

things over us •
again at night. The lamp was
brought back up there and we
found mites again. The hen’s nest
was clean and then we discover
ed the bird's nest literally alive
with mites. In fact the old bird
had quit her nest, and they were
feeding on us entirely. Well that
called for another cleanup, and we
slept undisturbed the balance of
the summer, despite the mosquit

Vertical farming, that’s what it
all adds up to. More and more
from the same acreage! And, with
science in the saddle, promising
prospects lie in that direction.

Marglobe and Rutgers varieties be
used and that they be transplant-1
ed to the field in early July. And -
it goes on to discuss the other de
tails of growing them. Dr. Epps,!
down at Clemson s Charleston Sta

will set fruit a bit better during hot

Coastal Bermuda
County Agent Rogers of Allen-
dals says their plantings of Coastal
Bermuda grass are coming along
fine. He suggests at least two cul
tivations to give it a start on other
grasses and weeds that might come
there with it while it’s getting
started. The sprigs were planted j
in rows back in the early spring or
late winter.
