Any person wishing to have a
copy of a Farm Account Book for
keeping his 1955 records may get
one free at the County Agent’s
office. More farmers received a
copy of this book from th office
the first of this year than any
previous year.
The book has appropriate pag
es for entering cost of various
materials, used such as fertilizer,
seeds, insecticides, etc.; farm
equipment, livestock, poultry,
etc.; car expenses, etc.; labor ex
pense and household expense,
etc.
Also th book has appropriate
pages for receipts or sales of va
rious farm products or commodi
ties.
Also appropriate pages for en
tering inventories of various
things on the farm at the begin
ning of the year and at the close
of the year. The entire record
boo kis complete, yet simple to
keep, and valuable by having full
knowledge of the farm and home
operation as a business.
Farming is a big business and
it is necessary to have records of
its operation the same as the ope
ration of a bank, store, cotton
mill or any other business con
cern.
The 83rd Congress amended
the Social Security Act to cover
farm operators which became ef

State Has
Tormenting
Weather Year
By JOHN SUMNER
Columbia, January 1— Record
heat waves a crop-killing, four-
month drought and a 25 million
dollar-plus hurricane teamed up
to make South Carolina’s 1954
weather year one of the most tor
menting in its history.
The drought was bad enough.
Lasting from June through Sep
tember, it was the state’s driest
period since records were started
in 1887. ■’ '
Accompanying heat toppled
long-standing temperature marks
and critically reduced precious
water supplies in a score of com
munities.
Weather of all types, particu
larly electrical and wind storms,
took at least 11 lives. This does
not include traffic deaths caused
by the elements.
The star attraction of nature’s
unwelcome performance was
Hurricane Hazel. Ripping into
the South Carolina coast Octo

Civil Defense officials estimat
ed property damage in Horry and
Georgetown counties alone at
more than 24 1-2 million dollars.
Eight per cent of Myrtle Beach’s
waterfront development area was
ruined or damaged. Nearby at
little Pawley’s Island, 80 homes
were destroyed.
Damage to houses and stores
was so extensive that Governor
Byrnes ordered out National
Guard troops to prevent looting.
He asked for and got federal dis
aster relief assistance for the
slow job of rebuilding resort
areas.
All-out precautions and several
dramatic rescues paid off in safe
ty. Only one fatality was attrib
uted to Hazel.
A little good came with all the
bad. Rains moving in with the
hurricane- broke the drought’s
three degrees the
mar^.
The average state tmperature
during July was about 82 degrees
making it one of the six hottest
months since the turn of the cen
tury. Several communities had
readings of 90 or more every day
of the month. Columbia counted
11 days of 100 degree or more
readings.
South Carolina’s coldest point
was towering Caesar’s Head in
Greenville county. It was 5 above
there January 1&. A week later,
Yemassee had the highest read
ing of the month, 83.
June was a study in extremes.
Generally, it waa the driest on
record. But several towns had
downpours of four to eight inches
on the 17th and 18th. Precipita
tion ranged from 0.1T inch at
Camden to nearly 9 at Sumter.
Rainfall was almost normal in
May averaging 3.37 inches, but it
was only 50 per cent of normal
in August Sullivan’s Island was
the driest spot getting only 0.14
inch. Charleston also reported
its driest August on record with
but 0.18 inch of rain.
September ranked as the driest
since 1941. Rainfall averaged
1.63 inches, 2.5 below average.
Great Falls and Salem got none.
The long dry spell had its'ef-
on stream flow and storage
The flow of the Edisto river near
Givhans was the lowest in 15
years during September and the
Pee Dee fell to a record all-time
low at Pee Dee.

-The downpours came too late,

late maturing farm crops. Total
crop volume for the state was 1
one-fourth less than in 1953. |
Corn and sweet potato produc
tion were the smallest in 50
years. The Federal-State Crop
Reporting Service largely blamed
th droughte for reducing tobacco
income about 28 per cent in com
parison with the previous year. |
