While other segments of South Carolina economy have gained new and welcome industries, ag riculture has not stood still. You can point to gains in livestock, forestry, and soybeans as some of the outstanding contributions Poultry is another. In broiler growing the Palmetto state is ad mittedly overshadowed by Geor gia on one side and North Caro lina on the other. Although South Carolina chicken growers mar keted 17 1-2 million broilers last year, Georgia sold 320 million and North Carolina 157 million. Despiie these big brothers on each side, our broiler business continues to expand Broiler production from 1955 to 1959 in South Carolina rose from 10.000,000 to 17,500,000, ac cording to reports of the South Carolina Crop Reporting Service and the U. S. Department of Commerce. Poultry's expansion possibili ties are well illustrated by poul- trymen in Newberry county where farmers have placed much emphasis on egg production. These poultrymen have doubled their output during the last 6 year period, and income now exceeds $1,000,00 a year from this source. Add another million from tur keys and broilers and it’s easy to see what a “lift” these increas es have given local business. Automation, vertical integra tion. and large operations have characterized chicken growing during recent years. Neverthe less, Newberry poultrymen have been able to expand on a broad base without losing the "small” independent grower. Their num ber has, in fact, increased. O’Dell Ruff, of Dead Falls com munity, has a flock of 1,500 lay ers, which he says, “is about a minimum for a ‘family’ poultry operation.” Smaller growers call flocks of this size “family” operations be cause, in this case, poultry is a part-time or supplementary en terprise. While the head of the family is away on other farm business, or an industrial job, he has to call on some member of the family to carry on the poul try business. “If help has to be hired, a grower would need at least 5,000 hens to make egg production eco nomically practical. In this case, if the grower could make a high er investment and purchase auto matic equipment, one man could then care for 10,000 hens, or more." Mr. Ruff said. Newberry producers who own larger poultry flocks provide the bulk of the county’s eggs. Senn Brothers, operated by Frank and George F. Senn, op erate one of the largest poultry businesses in the county. ( The Senns raise 40,000 broilers a year. In addition, they maintain about 13,000 layers and 3,000 breeder hens. This poultry development started on a modest scale in 1945 and has grown to its present size. The chief markets are Silver- street, in Newberry County, Co lumbia, and Greenville. County Agent A. F. Busby and his associates who are attempt ing to provide some of the edu cational information needed in expanding poultry industry, now have 80,000 hens on their records program. These records show that 40 Newberry flocks laid an average of 236 eggs last year. This is well above the national average of 207. On a statewide basis, the increased efficiency of egg pro duction is well illustrated by gains for the five-year period 1965-1959 which show an average per hen increase of 22 eggs an nually. Total egg production in the state increased 63 per cent during the period. They can’t be called crops, but but rows of residential housing units continue to grow up in many hitherto strickly rural areas. Quinby Forest and Quinby Es tates are the newest I’ve seen. These new urban colonies are lo cated 5 miles east of Florence. They should eventually consist of several hundred residential units. -‘Lot your pastures lead your cattle,” W. Carol Clegg of Calli- son advises farmers going into the cattle business Feed is cheapest when cattle can harvest it themselves. 'Over stocked pastures lead inevitably to the use of more feed that has to be put up or purchased. Mr. Clegg’s advice is particu larly pertinent for cattlemen who are expanding. What he says is simply, “Expand your pastures first.” (!• A. P. Stockman, an experienc ed cattleman of Waterloo, in Laurens County, was red-faced when he couldn’t read the num bers he’s placed on his cattle's ears. The reason? “Cattle will nor mally face you when you’re around. I placed the numbers behind the ears, not inside, where it should have been.” Other cattlemen may avoid the same mistake by placing the number in the ear so it can be read while facing the cow, he says.
