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.

WHIPPED CREAM SUBSTITUTE
Add a sliced banana to the white
of an egg and then beat it. 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.
