IMake the Farm
Produce Food and Feed Crops for 1
Landlords, Tenants, and Livestock. 1
Clomson College, Dec. 19.?Under 1
boll weevil conditions it is considered
extremely important for each farmer <
to raise as nearly all of the staple i
food and feed crops as is possible to 1
supply all needs of the landlord, the i
tenants, and the livestock. A survey 1
which was made of South Carolina in ;
1920 reveals the fact that this state ]
does not promice enough syrup to sup- |
ply the needs of the rural population
' of the Htate !?y something like 3,000,- I
000 gallons-; that there Is a deficit of :
wheat more than 8.000,000 bushels, of
h *y of over 000,000 tons, of hogs of ;
220,000; and that we do not have dairy
cattle enough in the state to supply
the needs of the rural population adeQua
I el y by 240.000. It was found also j i
that there were a number of counties i
in the state which did not produce i
corn enough to supply the home
needs. All of these things can be '
grown nt home much more cheaply i
than they can be purchased from other i
sections, and producing them should
not interfere with the production wf i
staple cash crops but should round
out a well balanced cropping system. ;
On any farm on which a good rotation
is followed for the purpose of building
up the fertility fo ibe land and maintaining
a system of diversified agri|
culturp, all of these cro|?s can be
j grown econcmh ally and to good ad
| vant""".
I Provide A Gocd All Year Home
Garden.?On every self : upporting
farm the "all-year" vegetable garden,
be this lai'ge or small, is one <>r the
lending sources of food supply, and
I therefore is of first importance and
I'of indispensable value. In fact, wi h
I m?t !i irnrwl irnvilfin Ivit h uiM'Inn- ?ni<l
f; ll there can 1>p no "100 percent"
self-supporting farm. The und rly:rv.r ,
principles involv (1 in ^ nd y.ardening
nre: (1) silo and soil selection: (2)
advanc ed planning: (" > deep and
J t'.orough preparation of the soil; (4)
(judicious and liberal api'.lica' icus of
fertilizers an 1 barnyard manures; (!" )
j careful selection of varieties and li!>
erol quantities of good seed; (0)
thorough cultivation; and (7) insect
nnd disease control.
Provide and Care for a Good Home
Orchard. -It lias li'-m proved con lupivelv
that the soils of South Carolina
are more than ordinarily adapted
to the growing of fruit for home use,
! nud in some sections, for commercial (
shipment. In the new agricultural
program, necessitating more than
ever he'ore the "self supporting"
| farm, th well-Kepi home orchard and
| fruit garden will play a great part.
The vnderlying principles involved
In go'd orcharding, irrespective of
size, are: M) site and soif selection;
(2) fruit and* variety selection; (?.)
1 yiiir out the orchard and nreparing
the soil; M> planting: (T>) fertilizing;
lit) eiimvniion, pruning. i |iia \ nu; aim
carA.
Provide Enough Milk for Ail Fnrnil.es
on the Farm. With an abundance
of milk, butter and cream foi
the familv. xr> to nereent ol the
grocery bill may be saved. Each Sarin
family of five should own or b furnished
with two cows of standard
i dairy breed (grade or purebred). One
cow should be bred to fie li< J ill ihe
spring and the other in tno fail and
' in this way about two gallons of n
pur day may be prod 1? *?<! if proper i
care and feed are provid d. The tenant
should be given an opportunity to
house and pasture his family cows
|>nnar his home or to milk and feed
them under the direction of the land-;
owner at a central plantation barn.
All feeds for the family cows must
b" home grown. The following feed.; ,
for each cow should be stored to he
fc .. I , .
I- mil j UK wiinui ii 11 in 11 in . wuu iv^ 11
of pea vino hay; 1000 pounds of velvet
beans; ten bushels of corn; and f>00
pounds of cottonseed meal. It is ini- |
portant to prepare one to two acres of
permanent pasture for each cow in
order to produce the dairy products
of the home more cheaply. The milk
cows should he pastured on the cultivated
fields in the fiill when possible
and on oats and rye in the winter and
early spring.
I The milk cows should be bred only
to purebred bulls of :i dairy breed.
The cheapest means of insuring the
service of a good bull for a few cows
is to organize a dc.iry bull association
among neighbors. This means the
keeping of one good bull for each 10
to 50 milk cows in the community,
path farmer piys his proposition of
the purchase priee and upkeep of the i
hulls. When .'oral communities
purchase bull ; h v may exchange ev- j
ery two years, thus reducing the expense
of purchase.
I Provide Sufficient Poultry for En- !
tire Farm. The keeping of a fllock of
laying hens on fbe farm is an important
part of good r noral farm man- ]
ngement. Tiu pr. d t of suc'i a (lock
may be produced at a relatively low I
cost. Kj:gs produced :it home will reduce
cost of living, and both the su- J
perior freshness and quality of the |,
eggs are well worth the effort expertd (
ed Kggs are a highly nutritious food .

Self-Supporting
ing. it is much more advisable to keep
pullets and yearlings than birds over
two years. Such birds consume much
feed but have nol the laying ability
behind them.
For ftertoral farm conditions, the
iyal purpose breeds are the mo3t popular.
Plymouth, Wyandotts, andlthode
Island Keds are the most popular and
from records appear to give the most
favorable results. The egg type such
is the Leghorns are in favor among
poultrymen because of the great eggproducing
ability.
When starting in with the farm
flock imp shonlrl ho euro
some purebred stock, especially purebred
males. J'urebred stock produces
:i greater number of eggs. a more uniform
product, makes possible the selling
of eggs for hatching, and creates
!i greater interest in poultry. Standard
products command a better pi ice
mi the, market and net a greater Jinan
iial return.
Develop the Hog Industry as Farm
Conditions Justify.?The meat bill i:
one of the biggest items in the grocery
bill of the average South Carolina
family. It will take four bog.
averaging 150 pounds each to supply
pork for the average family of live.
Twenty-seven coun.ies in South Carolina
are not pr ducing sulTi. ?nt pork
to feed the ru.al population.
All feeds for hogs, save possibly a
'i111?* tankage, should be home grown.
It takes approximately leu bushels of
corn and sixty pounds of tankage to
produce :i 150-pound pip:. If the river
nge family requires four hogs, ben it
will take forty bushels of corn and 1:40
pounds of tanage to produce tiiesj
hogs. If buttermilk, soy bean pasture,
rape pasture, or corn and velvet bean
oavture is available it will not be necessary
to buy tankage. A splendid
way to *':it en boys is to Mirn them on
corn nd velvet beans and let the Iiol;.do
fhe harvest ;ng.
flood pastures are absolutely neeessai'y
for economical pork production
in South Carolina, and it lias been
thoroughly demonstrated that good
pastures will save about two fifths of
tha : "a in i;; t: > n. On > of two acres
of rape or rye for win.er pasture, and
access to Bermuda pasture for summer.

Sows are usually bred so tha1 the
will farrow in March and September
allowing 3 months, weeks, and 3
flays for the gestation period. It i;
important to use only purebred boars,
as Hi's is the most economical way o!
improving the herd.
Gi\e Dairying a Place in Diversified
Farming.?The surplus feed crops
resulting from diversified tannine
may be sold through the dairy cow
profitably if a convenient market i
available. A silo is recommended f<?.
herds of ten or more cows. Corn and
sorghum are the best crops for en
sil" go.
Balanced rations for milk production
should made from bom
grown feeds; corn, velvet beans, oats
cottons: >d meal, peavlne hay, alfalf;
hay. soybean buy. silage. Wheat, bran
is fine for the d ir.v ration, and if
wheat is not grown it might pay tr
buy a limited amount, flood cows
should be fed liberally, and unprofit
!'ble cows should be sold to the
bul "her.

tuberculosis eradication; (o) control
nf inf' ftioas diseases; (f) advertisln'

Try Ft*ef Cattle if Conditions Just
ify.?While tbe production of beof cattle
is a ra her specialized industry
and can not. be undertaken profitably
by every farmer, there is no doubt
that South .Carolina should produce n
larger percentage of its beef. On
farms where considerable areas of
cheap pasture lands are available, oi
on farms where largo amounts of
rough feeds are prodeed. beef cattle
raising will yield a good income to
tho man who will give it bis attention
Only well bred stock should be kep
The beef cattle grower may begin
with native beef cows and by using a
purebred bull he will soon b ive a
herd of high grade cattle that will
ho economical producers of br ?f.
breeding herds may be maint'. "au
practically the whole year on f>a?.
tare. In summer they will become
fat on Penvnida. Tn winder they will
thrive on the velvet bean fields and

Bermuda pasture is reserved for win
tor use it will be very serviceable
when the fields are muddy.

Mo-2ci',d by Farmers.
v'l ?:i ?( n College, Dec. 5.?In spito
oi tia- (doits of scientists employed
i>> illtj various Southern States and
the United States Department of Ag'
Mland in spite of the various
. iiiamie cond it ions encountered over
the eotton growing states, the cotton
ImJI weevil lias annually extended its
operations, the advance line of this
pest having now moved entirely
across South Carolina, leaving the
state infosted from the mountains to
the coast. Fortunately for the farmers
of South Carolina, says W. W.
Long, Director of the Extension Service,
we are aide to draw lessons from
the experience t?f other states over a
period of nearly thirty years, the boll
weevil having entered Texas in 1802.
This should enable us to avoid many
of the costly mistakes that have been
made over and again by the cotton
growers of the states further west.
Clemson Agricultural College and
the United States Department of Agriculture;
have made special studies of
the boll weevil problem, co-operating
with every agency interested along
this line. At. frequent intervals reliable
information has beet) issued with
the view of Ue Ding our people thorDughly
informed regarding this pest
tnd the methods of fighting it. In
101 fi the College was instrumental in
organizing the South Carolina Holl
Weevil Commission, which went into
the infested states of Louisiana and
Mississippi and studied the weevil at
first bend under condi'ions similar to
those prevailing in thTs state. The
s'eporf of the Commission issued by
Ohuison in November, 1010, as Bulletin
No. 20, contained practically all
the reliable information of importance
hat had been developed regarding the
holl weevil problem. This report had
i wide circulation and was considered
to be so thorough and accurate that
the llnit 'd States Senate published it
n February, If) 17, as a Senate Oocu
mi en t. This doe uuent is now availil-le
in revised form. Mmv oilier
ullotins, reports, and special arti les
dealing with specific phases of
Hie problem have boon issued from
time to time. The Extension Service,
through the county agent system, lias
opt this information before the people
constantly. As a result the averige
farmer of South Carolina is without
doubt better informed in the
practical phases of ibis subject than
lias boon the case in any other state
it tbo time of the arrival of the boll
weevil.
No Time for Depressed Feeling.
Other states havo h;id this problem
o face, and while they suffered se3rely
they have demonstrated that
hero are ways of dealing with the
;>11 weevil problem. Cotton is being
row n in spite of tho boll weevil.
Ph's is not the t'me. therefore, to permit
ourselves to become depressed
Mid pessimistic. Instead, we must
;!udy the problem thoroughly and
learn ino ni'Mnou. and practices
which onaMo other farmers to prorlu
on co# ton profitably under boll
weevil conditions.
Re fore relying upon boll woovil information,
wo must bo sum that it
