County Agent M. L. Outz says this suggestion is der the heading, “Community Development and Public Af fairs’ 1 listed as point 10 of the equipment, electricity, fuel, tires, 1963 recently announced jointly by the State Agricultural Com mittee and Clemson College Ex tension Service. Econornmu of the Clemson Extensi<flBrvice point out that more ant^nore off-farm deci sions of a public nature are be ing made today which affect the income and financial security of farm people. Furthermore, the number of farms and farm peo ple are rapidly becoming fewer each year but agricultural pro duction has continued to exceed the demand for farm products resulting in unfavorable prices and incomes to farmers. Agriculture is the number one industry and is big business in South Carolina. The income from crops, forestry, livestock, poultry and products provides the basis for 2 billion dollars in buskwss annually through the processing, handling, and distri buting of the farm products pro duced on South Caroline tanue. South Carolina farmers spent about $277 million in 1961 in the production of farm products. Farmers buy fertilizers, jeuti- c i d e s , farm machinery and equipment, electricity, fuel, tires feed, seed, and many other items needed in farm produc tion. They also employ farm laborers. Farmers do business with bankers, processors, trans portation companies, and many commercial and service con cerns.

Barker, leader, Clemson College exten sion forestry work. “Trees that are stealing your landspace, water, plant food, and in the end the owner’s dol lars in lowered income from too few timber sales may be called thieves.” Point 9 of the 1963 Agricultur- indicated Program for south Carolina, announced jointly by the State Agricultural Committee and the Clemson College Extension Serv ice, deals with the replacement of cull, unsaleable hardwoods with better trees. There are approximately 12,- 000,000 acres of woodlands in South Carolina. It is estimated that 6,000,000 acres are in need of some cull tree control, Mr. Barker points out. At least half of these 6,000,000 acres are prac tically taken over by cull, un saleable hardwoods. The other cull trees in varying “Few, if any, markets exist for culls. These acres are not carrying their share of the load in making a living for families who own the land. Get rid of these bad trees and replace them with trees of good quality tha ytou can sell. Cull trees can be compared to burns, para sites, and thieves that rob and cheat you- No mousy Is made as long as their kind stay on your land,” Barker advises. One method of removing these culls to make room for belts tress is with bulklosers and oth er mechanical euipment The use of certain chemicals will prevent sprouting. The chem ical used most for this purpose is 2, 4, 5-T. “Check your woodlands and plan to eradicate these thieves. See your county agent or for ester for advice and assistance. —gnu yflpfr. i: ■Mi i.
