PRODUCTION CREDIT
ASSOCIATIONS
On a cold and blustery day in
January, 1934, a young man came
into my county agent office in Sum
ter talking a language I liked. His
name was Frank Towles, and he
told of a possible way of getting
some farm credit. Credit had com
pletely dried up and the farm out
look was bleak.
We called a few' leaders in the
next day and he outlined how they
could form a production credit as
sociation. If they met certain re
quirements, the government would
take some stock in it to get it start-
ed.
Well, our area and hundreds of
others over this broad land took ad
vantage of that. And there the Sum
ter Production Credit Association
was formed. Under farmer man
agement, it has performed a great
service there, paid back every gov
ernment dollar, is now entirely
farmer owned, has a sizable surplus
on hand, and is still serving its
members ,
And, folks, that's pretty well the
history of the 497 Production Credit
Associations that cover the United
States. Their combined net worth
is now well over $200 million, and
less than $2 million is still owed the
government.
In the Columbia District there
are 87 Associations, the largest in
the country. Every one of these has
paid the govbrnment out and is now
entirely member owned. Quite ai
record for our associations and
those in the Columbia office who
work with them!
It has been said that self help is
the best sort. And that is just what
these farmers have done, ever since
the government gave them that lit
tle lift back yonder in the dark of
the mid thirties. They have paid
every cent of that back, with in
terest. And now are better masters
cOmR
got it!"

SOYBEANS
Soybeans are growing into a giant
crop in this country. Last year 80
per cent of those entering world
trade came from this country, rep
resenting 17 per rent of our crop.
Our country is the world’s great
est exporter of farm products. Last
year it furnished 22 per cent of
such products entering world trade.
Soybean planting time hefe has
arrived again. This year CTemson is
recommending the Jackson, Lee.
CNS4, and JEW 45 for oil. For hay
it is the Ottotan. And for sliage and
grazing, the Biloxi.
Some haven't been fertilizing
their beans, just using them as a
catch-crop after grain. But Clem-
son warns that beans are rather
heavy feeders, specially on min
erals. If inoculated, they can get
anost of their nitrogen from the soil.
For average soils, 400-600 pounds of
4-12-12 are recommended. B u t
where there is a reserve of phos
phate in the soil and potash is low,
the formula recommended is 3-918

COTTON NOW
Last_yeiir .Kern County, Califor
nia, produced 447,648 bales of cot
ton. The whole state of South Caro
lina produced only 346,557 bales.
And Fresno County out there tnade
more than our whole state did, too.
They came up with 387,850 bales.
They don’t grow cotton every
where, like we have been accus
tomed to There are just a few lit
tle dots on the map of that state
that show where cotton is now
grown Yet. they come up with such
a prodigious production, that state
is now only second to Texas in cot
ton production in this country
There are endless miles of dry un
developed lands out there awaiting
but water and leveling to make as
fine cotton as those acres on which
they now grow it And the same is
true in Arizona and New Mexico.
We have some areas in our state
that would grow more cotton if per-
suited But they have been cut
down with the rest in recent years
Looks like the Sumter Idee pre
sealed by Cemty Agent Bowen at

We made something from apples,
canned or fresh. I don't see any
more Apple float, we railed R.
You whipped the stewed product
until it got light and fluffy, like
whipped cream Thu was then eat
en as a dessert with milk, to which
nutmeg and sugar had been added.
A light dessert, and a good one,
loo.
From the dried apples we made
fried pies. They, with a lit ft sy
rup, were good eatin’ And, I'll bet,
still would be. if you could get ahold
of 'em.
