M Oeazer Clemton College Information Specialist kMltl-j 14M1 •rs. nett mg lor Ml farm PROCESSING FARM PRODUCTS I can well remember when we didn't have anything resembling a meat packing plant in the state. As we got into livestock, the process ing plants came. And now they dot the state. A survey by Clemson shows we ndw have 39 meat pack ers in South Carolina. These local^ plants are putting up all sorts of quality meat products. We used to have to get such things from outside the state. But no more! And some of our plants have federal inspection too, enabling them to sell to the armed forces and ship outside the state. Have you tried their products? I'm sure you will like them. We find none better. They are doing a good job and are worthy of our patronage They not only furnish a constant market for our livestock, but they give a lot of local employment. We need a lot of processing of farm products. But we haven’t got ten far with it yet with anything much but cotton and livestock Clemson’s food processing labora tories are working on it for all man ner of fruits and vegetables, smok ed turkey , and the lik e *Tt is not enough to just grow products." says Director Nutt of the Clemson Estensson Service, **we need to keep those added dal Ian m the state that come from sad distributing a thousand per acre, that’s 166,351 acres of new pines! The county agents tell me this in terest is still growing. For in- out in Hampton County. County stance, last year 3,912,000 were set Agent Thompson there tells me his office alone has taken orders for alomst that many (5,638,000) for delivery this winter. And othej al lied agency workers also take ro- ders and send them to our State Forestry Commission. Barnwell county led in pine plant ings last year with 19,771,000 And Kershaw was second with 9,530,000. Next in order were Orangeburg, Chesterfield, Allendale, Aiken, Hampton, and Bamberg counties, with the latter planting 5.636,000. Our forester, Bill Barker, tells me 41 out of 46 counties planted over a million pines each. So this thing is rather general over the state, being heaviest in the low country And grass, too. is being seeded and fertilized on vast acreages This means livestock. We have grown faster than any other state with cattle in the past 10 years And the way we are putting in and tend ing grass, it look?, as though rattle growth will cortinue too PLANriNG ri\r* ano (.rams As our tilled ottos pi down as South t •if ottos our arm hi pumo a ad paoa fa up Look P pmc phuumg* law your A MUl of MAAM aero ml out At ROYS ARE THAT WAY Many memories tie to the rock lined well where we were raised in the Stone Hills of the Dutch Fork It was out fort for life-giving water, and never ran dry. And from its dark depths came our only cooling libations for summer. Ours was about 80 feet deep, lined with large flint rocks, and the water was hoisted by a long windlass with a. crank on each end That enabled two people to assist with the draw ing of a bucket ntf water. The cranks were about opposite in position, to distribute the load and help avoid hitting dead centers. From the time I was big enough, mine was the chore of filling all of the water buckets every after noon, and the horse trough, too. I hated that job, for there was some work to it which I didn’t like any way. There was some dangers to draw ing water. One was to get hit by the windlass handle when you were let ting the empty busket down. A hand would be held on the windlass as a sort of brake so the bucket wouldn’t hit the water too hard. Then there was the danger of letting the handle slip out of your hand w hen you w ere drawing a bucket of water The added weight would make that windlass fly and a hit by it could be serious Once I had about finished my evening's drawings and. on the last bucket. 1 let the handle slip from my tired hands, when it was near the top of the well I jumped back out of the way and that windlass really hummed aa the bucket full of water plummeted to the bottom The weight of the w Bier la R was such that N burst the stavua and shattered that bucket to puces Nos day %** hitched up the buggy and load the uooal batch of aggs to fhopia Rot they were oat enough to get a Raad are wefl bucket So *e wood a few doe bills from *fpv4t vImnb w# itiwlffi t trttf - ml m it UNp cftpAl tlwm wtt <£* buying was generally on a barter basis la those days Moat of d was wtti poultry products, but occasion ally a yearling or a shote was ib eluded No money passed We Just got a ’'due bill"’ the merchant wrote out and signed for any bal ance And that was legal tended at that store.

And every night tbeir proud papas gape at them through the glass. Nurses watch over them constantly. Doctors examine them daily. But the statistics in the files of the police depart ment cast a black shadow over this innocent scene. For one of these babies is J.D. J.D. is short for a juvenile delinquent. And from police record's and census figures we can estimate the proportion of new-born infants who will become juvenile delinquents in ten to twenty years. The one factor that threatens the accuracy of our calculations is that juvenile delinquency is mcreanap. There are just two ways to deal with the problem. One is to enlarge our jails. The other is to give every child's spiritual well-being the same thorough attention that this hospital fives his physical well-being. Is yours a church-going family* Is yours a religious .
