1. Complete Farm Planning: Meet high costs, acre
age adjustments and lower prices by planning the entire
farm to make the best use of land, labor and equip
ment, and by efficient production to meet market demands.
2. Food and Food: Produce, conserve and use ade
quate food for family needs. Grow a year 'round garden
on every farm. Continue to increase the efficient pro
duction of corn, pastures, annual grazing, small grains,
^silage, and grain sorghum to support our growing live
stock industry.
3. Soil Conservation and Improvement: Conserve and
improve the productivity of soils through liming, proper
fertilization, cover crops, crop rotations, and terracing,
drainage, and irrigation where needed. Cover South
Carolina with a "Blanket of Green.”
4. Fanp and Home Equipment: Become more effi
cient in the use and upkeep of improved farm machinery
and farm and ’home equipment. Expand rural electrifi
cation and rural telephone service.
5. Livestock, Dairying, and Poultry: Further balance
our farming system by developing a larger income from
hogs, beef cattle, dairy products, chickens and turkeys
through closer culling and improved breeding, feeding
and marketing.
6. Cotton: Because of acreage reduction and com
petition from other areas and other fibers, it is necessary
to produce larger yields per acre of high quality cotton
at the lowest cost per pound. Plant improved, treated
seed of known germination and proved varieties. Use
recommended poisons to control cotton insects and dis
eases. Improve preparation and ginning. Use grade and
staple service in marketing.
7. Tobacco: Keep up yields per acre of high quality
tobacco. Give more attention to control of plant bed and
field insects and diseases, and preparation of tobacco for
market.
8. Fruits and Vegetables: Use recommended varieties
and improved methods of production, grading, prepara
tion and marketing fruits and vegetables.
9. Forestry: Give farm woodlands better manage
ment and fire protection. Do a better job of marketing
the timber crop. Reforest lands best suited to trees.
10. Seeds and Plants: Increase production and use
of clean, high quality seeds and plants, including certified,
seed, for additional farm income and to aid in efficient
crop production.
11. Pests and Diseases: Use approved methods and
materials in fighting crop and livestock insects, diseases
and parasites, household insects, rata, weeds and other
pests.
12. Marketing Facilities: Expand the development
and use proceasing and marketing facilities for farm
products.
13. Farm Homes and Other Buildings: Plan and
improve farm homes and ether buildings for health, safety,
efficiency, comfort and general appearance.
14. Farm Boys and Gads: Further develop 4-H Club
work to tram rural boys and girls in better farming and

New Farm Housing
Program Attracts
Interest In Area
Strong interest is being shown
in the new farm housing program
in this locality, J. E. Stuckey,
county Supervisor of the Farmers
Home Administration, said this
Several applications for loans
have been received in the Ker
shaw county office since the pro
gram got under way late in No
vember, he said. Some of these
applications are being considered
for approval by FHA county com
mitteemen, and one application,
already approved, is being pro
cessed for a loan.
Purpose of the new type credit
is to enable fanners to construct,
repair, improve, remodel, or re
place houses or other farm build
ings. Loans are repayable at 4 per
cent interest over a period of 5 to
S3 years. The housing program is
an addition to the regular farm
ownership and farm operating
program.
In 1949 five Kershaw county
farmers received Farmers Home
credit to buy farms, Mr. Stuckey
said. Ope other farmer obtained a

loan from a private lender for this
purpose, with the Fanners Home
Administration guaranteeing re
payment through its insured mort

number of applicants who have
bought or improved farms with
loans from this agency or its
predecessor, the Farm Security
Administration, to 54 since 1987,
when the Bankhead-J ones Farm
Tenant Act was passed.
More than 245 families obtain
ed supervised credit in 1949 to
operate farms. They used loans
to buy seed, feed, fertilizer, live
stock, equipment or farm sup
plies.
Families have generally proved
themselves to be good debt-pay
