HAMILTON Cletnson College Extension Information Specialist SHOOK UP Many folk* on local farm steads are a little shook up by happenings a third of the way around the world. Last week we saw where 80 Georgians went to Washington to plead their case before offic ials. They were, concerned by a decision of the European Com mon Market countries to put in a system of variable import fees on American poultry products beginning July 1. Georgia is the country’s big gest broiler producer. And a sizeable part of their sales, ac cording to Southeastern Poultry Times, goes to export. Western Europe, where the Common Market Is located, it their best overseas customer. Georgia poultrymen art wor ried that import fees may go up from a present 18 per cent to 86 or 40 per cent. This might plunge local poultry interests in to a situation of surplus broil ers and resulting depression of the market. Although South Carolina is not an important producer of broilers for export, Dr. M. C. Rochester says local business would be caught up in the back wash of falling prices and suffer too, if the European market were cut off. And a depression in the poultry business here would be felt. Annual revenue from all South Carolina poultry sales Is about 40 million dollars annually. Take away the import fees, and local poultrymen see Europe as a tremendous and growing market for broilers. Per capita consumption across the Atlantic has doubled in the last 8 years. In Germany, consumption went from 4 pounds in 1966 to 10.6 pounds in 1960. Present U. S. per capita consumption is 86 pounds. Subtract the two and you see what many poultrymen consider to be the expansion po tential in Europe. But all the problems of selling on the European market cannot be traced to import fees. Peter Pohl, Montreal, talking to a meeting of the Institute of American Poultry Industries at Kansas City recently, suggested that Americans wishing to sell in Europe were facing a highly developed and very competitive market. In comparing Danish and American poultry he saw in a German warehouse, be said: “The Danish poultry was in perfect shape. Ours had been badly damaged in transit and the contents were spilling out of many of the boxes. Further more, the appearance of the Danish birds was excellent. They were packed in two rows of six, breast up, and showed no deformations. The butter ball ed position was achieved by us ing a special hocking fixture. Their polybags fit tightly, giv ings birds almost cryovacked appearance. They are using strong telescopic cartons and bound with wire straps." European customers also want packages labelled in the languages of their country. And they prefer weights shown in the metric system. These are not unsurmountable obstacles. But they show that tariff barriers are only one as pect of the current concern for staying in and growing with the Common Market. Plans are now underway for a discussion of Common Mar ket problems as they affect South Carolina during Farm and Home Week at Clemson Au gust 27-81. • • • WELCOME ABOARD, FRIEND Still the number one medium for news and information la the newspaper, according to a re cent editorial In the Augusta Chronicle. "If you subscribe to a daily newspaper, read it from cover to cover, are more Interested in news than in so-called inter pretive articles, lean slightly South Carolina Has Made Fine Progress 1 Bat Even Brighter Days Are Ahead!

You’re also among the huge majority. And you’re in dis tinguished company. More than 86 per cent of 64 million households in the conti nental U. S. reads the newspa per on an average weekday. And 96 per cent of them read more than the front page. Regularity of reading increas es with education. But thorough ness of reading is not related to educational attainment. And newspaper reading incre a • e s with age. Biggest reading au dience is in the 40 to 64 ago group. • • • NOT DOWN YET John M. Simmons, farmer and ginner at Mountville, Lau rens County, is far from down and out about cotton’s future in his Piedmont region county. “That new self-propelled high boy over and under the shed ex presses my sentiments,” he told us recently. Highboys, in case you don’t know, are strange two-story contraptions you could easily mistake for vehicles to use on the moon’s surface. Actually, they’re very efficient machines for spraying crops. And I can tell you, they don’t come cheap. EVERYDAY COUNSELOR Tardiness and procrastination are bad habits. They are not hereditary, but acquired, gen erally by yean of practice. I have a letter from a cor respondent describing this prob lem within her family. It is caus ed by one member of the family who is a hard worker, provides well tor his family, Is active in church and Sunday school, but he is an Inveterate procrastina tor, and is almost always late for his appointments. Recently he took his family along with him to meet a personal appoint ment. As he was late he had to drive up to 80 miles an hour to make an Jppointment on time. The trouble with these people who properastinate and are lata for appoinments is that they do not start what they have to do in ample time, allowing for inter ruptions. A friend and fellow-minister of mine told me rather shame facedly how he was late for a speaking engagement. He apolo gized to the audience, reciting difficulties in traffic, including a number of red lights. After the meeting the presiding officer, a kindly gentleman, said to the speaker, “George, I'm sorry that you bad traffic difficulties which made you late, But if you will be honest, you will admit that you •imply did not start in tims." The practice of procrastination and tardiness la a bad habit. It can be broken by proper plan Ring in advance. The first thing to do is allow ample time for Interruptions. Professional people are es pecially subject to interruptions. I find it wise in planning for a day to allow 80 per cent of my time for Interruptions. Many in terruptions are real opportuni ties for needed service which we should render. Jesus was particularly sub ject to interruptions. Read His life in the gospels.
