Program*, Farm
Families Urged
Farm people of the state are
urged to keep informed on mat
ters of a public nature—local,
state, and national—that affect
their farm incomes and eco
nomic security.
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.
Woodland Thieves
Are Useless Trees
“There may be thieves in your
forests,” declares W. J. 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

Now Teaches
Why and How
Clemson—Learning new skills
and testing new ideas is a big
part of today’s 4-H program in
Smith Carolina, according to J.
B. Williams, state 4-H club
agent
“The present program em
braces projects of more than
69,000 members. This type of
youth work is encouraged in the
10 Point Agricultural Program
’or 1963 issued jointly by the
State Agricultural Committee
and the Clemson Extension
Servict.”
Learning the “Why’s, as well
as the “bow’s” of agriculture,
home economics ,|hnd many oth
er phases of UViAg Is one of the
goals of modern 4-H work.
“Projects teach members to
match what they have with
what they think they need. This
leads to the development of a
practical sense of getting things
done and development of initia
tive.”
to addition to the projects,
meetings and tours give 4-H’ers
a well rounded size-up of a
variety of job opportunities.
This proves valuable when it
becomes time for the member
to look for a job.

wonderful for teaching young
sters how to work with
