FARMS AND FOLKS
By L. C. 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.

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

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. Most of Mis
