' •• Clemson College Extension Information Specialist More attention is now given to corn as a potential enterprise for increasing farm in come in South Carolina. The two are mentioned togeth er because, strangely enough, no state or region has yet become a great swine region without first becoming a producer of grain. Recent grain freight rate re ductions from midwestern points have given another dimension to the question of a feed-livestock balance. But the time and expe rience have not altered the basic maxim of “grain first and live stock second.” “The livestock man who man ages and controls his feed pro duction is in the best position to compete and make a permanent contribution to the agriculture of a community,” Hilton Rogers, Clemson extension agronomist, says about growing your own grain. In South Carolina corn acreage took a turn upwards last year to reverse a long-time downward trend. This downward trend had carried with it a corresponding swine decrease to only 431,000 head as reporteed December 26 by the Crop Reporting Service. The previous level was about 700,- 000 head. Corn has had its ups and downs too. But last year’s acreage of 506,000 acres was 19,000 more than the previous year. This in duction are highly technical en deavors which require skills on par with those possessed by the highly skilled tobacco farmers. ••It wou'd be rather foolish for a farmer to go into hog produc tion on a one-year basis,” Rogers said. “It would be more reason able/to adjust hog numbers and corn production to expected trends while maintaining a con tinual operation rather than get ting in and out of the business on the basis of current prices.” 1 '■ t 1 ■■ * ■■■■■■■ Public Records Mr. qnd Mrs. Dave Ingle, Miss Barbara Ann and Johnny Ingle spent last week-end with relatives in Hickory, N.
