Sells Many Things
From Diversification
W. K. 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.
