MeCraw of the Jamison section of Orangeburg county likes to call his -place a "Sears-Roebuck" farm, because he says he produces and sells a little bit of everything. "Every time any of us goes to town something is taken to market," he slates. Yet Mr. McCaw does much farming of u general kind. He produces cotton and uses mules for power. Bui he produces a half dozen things on major scales. These include pecans, fruits, poultry and truck products. Off the shade trees in his yard he gathered enough pecans to bring in $">45.44 last year. He used to "produce" woolen blankets. They were made from fleece taken from a flock of sheep. He is sorry he didn't keep . the flock. In the last, ten years he lias, paid $'i,000 of the purchase price of his present place, bought anothei smaU i place, pujL several thousand dollars into improvements and sent four children to college. I "Any farmer who will produce a^ much as possible of what he consumes, work hard and market ear j fully will get along, no matter what I sales prices be," he declares. | ?_______ How Can They Reduce Taxes I _______ A report made last week to *he haimers and Taxpayers League by W. \ .
