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.
Oae ml tha bast faataree of the market
as that R will m«k» tha fsrmors raise
of Williston. 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.

working out of problems as anything
•loo. A problem of one of the farmers
will bo taken up and a ten weeks
court# will bo given on the instruc
tion of the boat way to combat or
rsliava tha ■ pacific problem. In ad
dition to this, discussions are also held
on tha bsttermsnt of the home. Les
sons are given in how to make minor
repairs ,about tha home; how to im
prove the looks and the comfortable
ness of the home, and on the manyi
other small nutters pertaining to the
betterment of living conditions in the
farm home of today. As a result of
these discussions, many of the farm
ers have patched up, repaired minor)
and major needs to their home and
generally made the home a better
place to live.

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.
