B V V Barnwell Gninty Farmers Reap Advantages of Diversification County, which is ms inly agricultural county, but has so its crops as to have a crop coming in during the majority of the year, has long been Aaown as one of the leading inland track producing counties in the State. Bnuk cotton is still the major money crop, there are from ten to twelve thousand acres annually planted in track crops, such as asparagus, cu- raanbers, cantaloupes and water* melons. One of the largest asparagus pro- storing counties in the State, hundreds mt cars roll annually from Barnwell Caanty, bringing to the farmers a cash revenue which Is most timely. This year, besides the “grass" which was shipped to the Northern and Ehstern markets, a canning plant was operated in Williston, using up much «f the grass from this section. This plant was in operation for several weeks and paid not only cash money far produce, but hired considerable tabor also. An effort is reportedly be ing made by interested farmers to asiae enough of other cannable pro dace to kerp the plant in operation an additional several weeks. The cucumber markets in Barnwell aad Blackville have long been famous with the buyers who work produce fren Florida to Maine, as a stopover hi this section. This year each town has an auction market block sponsor- «4 by the town councils and arc sell ing’ the cucumbers through this block. Aawarer, as a dearth of fUin has esasid the vinas to produce hardly mmj cucumbers and those of an in- flanar grade, the amrket isn't retting a fair apportunlty to show tts worth.

Hs produced * littwr of It pigs in the contest that weighed at thu age of six months, 3,024 lbs., or an average of 302 pounds each. This unusual record has clearly shown the farmers what can be done end from this very complete record, it al so shows that Mr. Powell’s net profit was $11 per pig. One of the largest producers of turkeys in the State is W. H. Moody, Jr., of the Kline section. Last year he produced approximately 1,000 head and has made for yea rs this pro- pect his major sourse of income. As the turkeys are finished in lots, they are sold to large packing houses, Mr. Moody having stated that he has of fers from several of the largest buy ers each year. His farm, with its Hundeds of turkeys running loose, is a sight worth seeing and there are many Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners represented among them. So while Barnwell County is main ly an agricultural county the farmers have learned that sticking to sny one crop can prove disastrous while turn ing to several cash crops will help keep any particular season from be ing a dead loss. by J.

Another factor under the soil UU- pruirmsnt is the proper Ur racing of land* which need terrace a. Approxi mately 150 to 200 ares were terraced under Mr. Evans’ supervision last year, despite the fact that the proper equipment for this work was not received until late in the year. How ever, it is expected that next year the number of acres which will receive this treatment will be much larger and farmers are urged to terrace land which shows the slightest sign of needing it. Under the supervision of the Future Farmers of America Association about 300 bushels of cotton seed and 20 pounds of melon seed were treated. This service is free to farmers, the fanner having onjy to supply the necessary materials and the students will do the work. During the coming year grain seed will be included in the seed treatments. The Future Farmers of America members will be taken on a trip to Tamasaee this summer, plans at present calling for tha trip to be by way of Clemaon College, where an mapecUa of tha boHdtags aad math- oda used there will be mode aad the rmara trip wtfl be by Athras.
