CLEMSON - Rural zoning
is something many folks don’t
talk about much.
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

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.

His Idea
Benjamin Franklin is said

daylight saving time while
he was in Paris. However, it
v was not until 1907 that the
idea was revived by William •
x Willett in England.
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.’
