But it’s sort of like Christ mas and birthdays. It’s coming anyway, the best thing to do is try and get ready for it As the cities spread to the countryside, people and build ings start crowding in on one another, and some kind of plan ned regulation is needed for the most benefit to all. Farmers, of course, have a basic stake in rural zoning; even though any kinds of re strictions are historically alien to the outdoor man’s pre served senses of freedom. M. H. Sutherland, associate extension specialist in com munity resource develop ment for the state, is a man with deep roots in the soil and he knows of the inherent opposition many farmers have to zoning. But he says one of the first things farmers should realize is that the absence of zoning in their county or area offers no protection at all. "Without zoning, there may be an open invitation for farm communities to become the dumping ground for com- merical and industrial ac tivities that are excluded else where,* Sutherland says. ‘It also permits a wide spread scattering of nonfarm FREE!

I I $ residences and subdivisions all over the open country-side. “Sooner or later such an un guided urban encroach ment into productive farming areas means farmers will pay higher taxes for the public im provements and services demanded by others.’ This emphasizes his basic point: ‘Absence of zoning of fers no protection. It merely permits urban encroachment to move in unguided and uncon trolled.’ Since the congestion, theen- croachents, and restrictions in one form or another appear inevitable, it seems advis able to do it the systematic way--planning for zoning. Many people confuse the two, Sutherland says, but they aren’t identical. Planning is concerned with the systematic development of an area from all points of view, zoning is described as the le gal instrument which gives the plan force and meaning. "Actually, the two comple ment each other,’ theClemson specialist says. ‘But to do planning without zoning is to do only half the job. Comprehensive planning should always precede the en actment of a zoning ordiance.’ He advises individuals in a community interested in app roaching zoning to have a clear picture of its existing situation and prospects for the future. ‘ They should make a study of Sji the property," be says,‘pre- pare an inventory of all land and property in the community or county, determine its po- tential use, and set develop- ment goals.’ j;: Then, they should project future needs such as invest- S ment for roads, schools, housing, parks water supp- v lies, sewers, and other faci- lities.

ALLENDALE - Catfish farming for commercial mar keting is a growing agricultural industry in South Carolina. But an Allendale man with a small operation figures he can do as well or better by sell ing his ‘on the hoof’ and letting people fish them out of the pond. The do-it-yourself sideline could have a good return, es pecially since hardware store owner Harry Jackson says he started it as ‘just something to play around with.’ Three ponds, roughly 35 by 150 feet each were built early this year just below a large lake on Jackson’s acreage straddling the Allendale-Barn well County line. The shallow construction, two feet deep at one end and four at the other, was at a minimum cost and the adjoining lake provides an ample supply of fresh water to channel through the ponds. Jackson estimates *upp to 800 gallons per minute,’ more than enough to assure plenty of oxygen. In April, the ponds were stocked with 10,000 channel cat fish fingerlings from a hatchery near Moncks Corner. Since that time it’s been little more than buying feed and making a daily trip to the farm to throw out buckets of the pellets and watch the “cats’ come to the surface and get it They're given a commercial product of soybean meal, ground wheat, com and other ingredients. Now, Jackson figures they are ready for the harvest, pro bably averaging out at about a pound of fish in the pond. “Only problem was they just wouldn’t eat enough,’ he says. He planned to start selling fishing privileges Oct. 10--all a person could catch for 65 cents a pound. The owner has already sam pled the product several times and offers a testimonial of “good eating.’ The pond-grown catfish, he savs. are much tastier than wild varieties in streams. ‘But you can’t tell the dif ference when you’re pulling them in on a pole,” he nja. He also finds they bite bet ter late in the day when ‘they hit a hook just as tut as you drop it in.* Johnny Brewer, Allendale County Agent, is enthusiastic about the project He’s seen the large r-stfiith farming operations in Georgia, ^ and says they’ve really got " something going. ‘They’re getting way ahead of us on this,* he says. They’ve established a processing plant to handle all their fish, and a lot of Georgia farmers are finding it a worthwhile farming enterprise.’ CONVERTIBLE MOBILE DISHWASHER TO BE GIVEN AWAY ON December 12th At 6 P.
