Young fioing Farmer
j?l "A fault with much ""farmer '
thinkings and some other kinls, is !
'f thfct it does not talcs in enough," i.avs
f . L. A. Cantzler, a >oung farmer who
has rapidly expanded his operations
^f^near Eutawville, in Orangeburg

operations by a single product or
one by, as a rule, five-year aver
'V v" (
.tells you he dropped the
growing of tobacco". He made a pro
gK?t on H two years, lost money on it
^ - two; an^ broke even one; whereupon
decided it vv* too risky. He
holds cn to the growing of Irish po
Wv.: tatoes, though hi# returns have varied
? Widely. .Yet he finds that during., a
?Vv'' period of five years all told ho hjis
|A/-V,niade some money^ on potatoes. He
|C-,?is getting away from cotton. "It is
the one thing 1 never have made
money on," he declares. He is ex

'especially sweet potato production.

25 a?res jof sweet potatoes this year.
It has not been a good year for veg
<?*(<? etables; yet Mr. Dantzler states that
$[{' ?? he cleared better than $100 an acre
eight acres of green peas.
'.'His is a variety farm. He took
Spfc over, the main part of it, the family

upon returning from the World War,
$$?,? having served in the A. K. F. in

=war," he says. He has added 270
acres to the land holdings that came

ing of cxparidfn^?tikl more. Cur
m "^ent economic conditions do not

[OndCrsar we get high prices or

and then feel terribly aggrieved if

though other products be profitable.
I try to think in terms of at least

Editor Daniels Thinks Back to 90's
and Deducts a Lesson Therefrom >
"In less, than ten years from now
people who buy favm land at present
pricey will be selling it to shortsight
ed mfen at large profit",, said Joaeph
us Daniels, former .Secretary of the
Navy, in a rcent editorial in his
j Raleigh NeWs and Observer, i Ho
Liees nothing "hopeless" in census
shpwings of large drops in land
values as of 1930 compared with the
?values of 1920. For he remembers
I that something similar happened in
the 1890's.
j "Older people will remember the
| panic of 1894-6," he wrote/ "Crops
I did not bring the cost of production
'and the price of land went down bo
the lowest on record. People were
afraid to buy it at one-fourth or less
I its former value. It looked then as
[if ic never would come back. At that
time wherUprices reached bottom, the
late Senator Ransom used all his sal
j ary as Ambassador to Merico and
any other money in could obtain to
buy farm lands. People said he was
foolish in buying land when crops
brought sucb low prices. If his heirs
had sold the land bought in 1894 in
j 1917-18-19 they would have been
rich."
Motor-- ^Tuc ks Widen Markets for
South Carolina Vegetables
"Motor trucks* are reducing the
risks in growing perishable products
in South Carolina for out of State
markets," says E. W.^^King, large
scale producer of vegatables \ in
Charleston County. Mr. King devotes
around 250 acres to truck farming
and gets from most of his land at
least two crops a year. In harvest
ing his products, he sometime* em.
ploys 7u to 100 persons, most of them
coming out from Charleston to work
for him when needed, lie has been
a coastal farmer all his life and used
to be a large. scale cotton grower,
producing $ea Island mostly, but lie
now grows 110 cotton of any kind. He
produces perishable stuff for long
distance markets Qnly.
"Formerly, we had to depend al_
most wholly on the far Northern
markets, such Philadelphia, New
York and Boston," says Mr. King.
"It was difficult to dispose of other
than first grade stuff in those mar
kets.
"Now trucks come to us from in
termediary points in North Carolina
and Virginia. The transportation
time and cost are Reduced and much
second and third grade produce finds
market in those areas." Fresh-vege
tafoles are carried by motor trucks
[from the Charleston area as far
north as Baltimore.
Mrt King, like other big growers
of vegetables, still ships produce via
steamers and railroads to far nothern
markets. "But an increasing pro
portion of our production is sold, de
| iivered and paid for* here on the
farm," says he.
"I am holding on to my land and
I propose, to keep it and work it, says
Mr. King, who glories in farming,
as did his forbears. "Prices have
been pretty .low, but I don't think
.land values have boon depressed a
round here. Nature is not making
I any more land of this sort and there
j is increasing consumption of the
I kinds of products for which our rich
soil and climate ore best suited."
