9 ! i I Thursday, September 3, 1953 THE CLINTON CHRONICLE Page Seven State Farmers Build Toward Balanced Farm Program, Extension Report Shows Clemson—“South Carolina farm ars are building toward balanced farming, on their individual farms, in their communities and in the' state,” according to D. W. Watkins, director of the Extension Service in his annual report on. agriculture progress in South Carolina in 1952. Director Watkins’ 48-page book is just off the press and was com piled by him and S. C. Stribling, Extension Service agriculture edi tor. The book is filled with graphs showing the upward or downward trend in different commodities, livestock and mechanized equip ment, usually from the year 1932 through 1952. However, several graphs go back as far as 1920. Cash farm income dropped from an all-time high of $413,098,000 in 1951 to $380,359,000 in 1952, a de crease of $32,739,000 or eight per cent. ! 3,638 purebred beef bulls in use on I farms, 16,210 cows artificially bred, 114,301,000 commercial broilers pro- Jduced, 1,252,000 turkeys raised, $27,525,735 worth of farm products pounds an acre.

The banana will dissolve and be a de licious substitute for whipped cream. SPONGE CAKE Before placing the sponge cake in the oven, sprinkle a little granu lated sugar over the top of it. It will''give the cake a rich brown color. SOUP A slice of raw potato added to soup that is too salty will take away that too-salty taste. Boil for a short time and it will be ready to serve. A FUNNELL If a small funnel is needed and there is none on hand, punch a hole in the end of a dried out egg shell, and it will serve the purpose very satisfactorily. ■> WHITE SATIN SHOES White satin shoes should be stor ed in blue paper \. hen storing them away, as the lime in white paper tends to turn them yellow. But the year 1952 will long be re membered by state farmers for its prolonged drouths and blistering heat waves, which cut heavily into yields of cotton, corn and other cash crops. Farmers of the state are becom ing mechanical-minded. The num-, bef of mules and horses dropped high records, to a new low of 145,000 at the be- tailed ginning of this year while there 20.0 last year, compared with 20.5 the year before. A total of 3,680,000 bushels of wheat was raised last year. The yield per acre in soybeans was the fourth highest in the state in ’52, being 11.5 bushels per acre. Howeyter, in total soybean produc tion, 1952 was a banner year with 1,127,000 bushels being raised—a new high. Soybean production in the state has expanded rapidly since 1947. The number of all cattle on South Carolina farms totalled 473,- South Carolina farmers made substantial progress in 1952, ac cording to Mr. Watkins, in bal ancing their farming operations to meet new apd changing conditions, and in improving their farms and homes to make for a good farm living.

However, as evidence of the careful handling of the crop by the farmers and ginners, a new low record of only one per cent of the lint was classed as rough- ginned.
