AND FOLKS By I. M. Eleazer Clemson College Information Specialist SMAIJ FARMERS What's happening to small farm ers’ Dr George H. King, director of the Georgia experiment station, an swers it well. He says: ‘'llie.se small farmers are adjust ing. First, they are becoming part- time farmers in which case the ope rator or members of his family pro cure part of their income from working in industry. Second, some are enlarging their operations until full-time farm employment is pro vided. Third, some are going com pletely into industry ” • • • ACREAGE DOWN AND PRODUCTION UP County Agent Craven of Saluda tells me “Saluda's corn acreage is slipping downward, but yields are zooming upward " And he points to the fact that in 1M5 they grew 21.900 acres of com that made 359.- 000 bushels. In 1958 the acreage had slipped down to 11,500, but they harvested 391.000 bushels . More total corn on just a little over half the acreage! He explains it this way: “The five point program engin eered by Clemson in the late forties has guided this upward trend in yields. This program includes the planting of only the recommended hybrid sorts, applying plenty of fer tilizer, leaving an abundance of stalks per acre and only early shal low cultivation.” HAVING YOUR C OTTON CLASSED Our cotton man. Sam Williams, tells me about 95 per cent of this country’s crop last year was official ly classed for the growers by the government. But in this we lagged a bit and only about 82 per cent of ours in South Carolina was so class ed The USD A also gets out a market news service telling what the differ ent grades of cotton are worth on current markets With this infornutUon in hand, the farmer can sell his cotton a lot more intelligently. In counties where this service was properly requested in time, the ginners take the samples, send them to the Columbia classing office, and the farmer gets a report back very shortly With this in hand, he knows just the quality and staple of cotton that’s wrapped up in that bale And it costs him exactly noth ing • • • BROILERS, BROILERS!

They not only furnish a local market for the poultry we grow, but they give a lot of ld6al employment that’s needed We can’t be satisfied with just pro ducing the raw products on the farm. We need to process them more and more. And this does not just apply to poultry. Look at the packers we have now. They could use a lot.more livestock. We are only growing about half of our red meat requirements in this state. * * * BOYS ARE THAT WAY Cats were mine, and dogs my brother’s. My brother lov*d to hunt. I didn’t Think I was just too lazy to do all of that walking I'd a lot rather sit on the creek bank in the shade and fish Or just lie on my back down in the pasture, behind a cedar tree, and watch the buzzards soaring on high, wishing all the time I could do that. He liked ail sorts of hunting, but specially bird hunting And he could kill ’em, too. Some of our older cousins and uncles also liked to hunt, were good shots, and he could hold his own with any of ’em. The only sort of dogs we ever kept was bird dogs It was hard to feed ’em. Our folks were very frugal people, there were few scraps from the table, and they went into the kitchen slop for the pigs. That was all kept in an old wooden candy bucket that caught all of the greasy dish water, scrapings from the pots, and meager scraps from the table. Nothing was wasted It all went in that bucket that in turn produced the hog or two that we in turn ate the following year In the fall my brother gleaned the com fields, picking up the nubbins that were left. These furnished meal for making dog bread But even the com was often scarce, and the going got rough for his dogs One year ev eryone made a very poor com crop. So they left very little in the field His dogs got mighty thin that win ter.
