Shealy, present Commis sioner of Agriculture, has paid his pledge and entered the race for re- election to this office this year. Mr. Shealy is filling out his first term and is asking for the second term as Commissioner of Agriculture. He has been a practical and suc cessful farmer all his life. For sev enteen years he was connected with the Extension Division of Clemson College. Mr. Shealy is in terested in the agricultural condit ion and industrial development of South Carolina. He believes that South Carolina holds out a bright future for the people* of this state. Mr. Shealy’s policy in adminis tering the various laws of his de partment has been fair and impar tial. He has ever been mindful of the changing conditions and the problems confronting our state and, has spent every effort possible to adjust matters satisfactorily and fairly to all. On a Platform 1. A 4iversified and balanced ag riculture. 2. A well planned system of mar keting. 3. Reforestation of waste lands. 4. A continued program or rural electrification. 5. Good roads to the remotest sections of the state. 6. Development of the natural resources. 7. Bettering labor conditions. 8. Continuation of the publica tion of weekly market bulletin. 1. A Diversified and Balanced Agriculture Variety which brings soil fertil ity, food for people, feed for live stock and gives us a balanced ag riculture is of first importance to the agricultural development in South Carolina. Home production and home consumption will help in solving a number of our agricul tural problems. For the last nine (9) years since 1920, we have pro duced on an average 750,000 bales of cotton in South Carolina. In the nine (9) years prior to 1920, on an average nearly a million and a half bales of cotton were produced per year. This leaves a deficiency of 750,000 bales a year at about seventy million dollars which will have to be replaced by other crops that will bring net cash to take care of the difference in produc tion. 2. A Well Balanced System Of Marketing Marketing is next in importance to production. A well balanced system of marketing will have to be worked out and enforced in order that we may be able to dis tribute evenly our produce to con sumers who in turn will be able to buy and use them at a profit to the producer. You may produce all the world can produce and yet have not accomplished anything if it has not been properly ?nar- keted. Organization will work wonders in accomplishing the above. The farmers of the state will never be able to fix prices for their produce until they are able to control production. 3. Reforestation On Waste Lands We have thousands of acres of waste lands in South Carolina. This acreage should be planted in timber. We are using timber five times faster than we are growing it. If we will plant all the idle lands we have, then use 25 per cent of the poor lands in cultivation and plant this in timber and bring the remaining 75 per cent up to a high state of cultivation, we will have taken a long step in solving our agricultural problems. 4. Continued Program Of Rural Electrification Rural electrification is closely related to agriculture. The rural people have not enjoyed benefits to be derived from the supply of power lines across the hills and valleys of this country. These ru ral lines are being supplied with rapidity. Within a few years, ohe farmers of South Carolina will en- ioy all the conveniences that these currents are bringing to the towns and cities. I have served for four years on a committee for rural electrification and I am glad to inform the peo ple of South Carolina that results obtained have been gratifying. Many miles of power lines have been supplied throughout the rural districts of South Carolina within this period of time. 5. Good Roads To The Remotest Sections of The State No state can do its best and reach the maximum of its capacity without a well planned system of highways reaching to the remotest sections. Good roads and good schools will help in bringing pros perity to any section, state, or country. I am proud to say that South Carolina has made rapid progress along these lines and I see a bright future ahead. 6. Development Of Natural Resources The future development of nat ural resources of our state should be given thought, effort, and en ergy. Some of these w r e have de veloped have been quite heavily drawn on and are practically ex hausted. These necessarily must be replaced by others that are now undeveloped. * The iodine content in our vege tables and other foods can be of wonderful help to the people of our state if variety and quantities are grown and marketed in a business like way. We will make a great mistake if we let this opportunity pass, while, with a strong effort, we can utilize benefits derived if properly handled. If we believe in our South Caro lina products and feel that they deserve consideration by those liv ing beyond the borders of our state we should ourselves be interested in the welfare of South Carolina and our own health to the extent that we would demand South Carolina products first when making our purchase. If we can get our own people to eat more South Carolina grown products, this will aid the South Carolina Natural Resources Commission in its campaign for better health. In doing this, it will not only encourage production in South Carolina but will encour age the establishment of canneries in our state. 7. Bettering Labor Conditions Labor conditions in South Caro lina compare favorably or even ex ceed those of other states in the Union. I believe that South Caro lina has the highest type of labor of any state in the Union and is worthy of its hire. The splendid climate in our state makes it pos sible for labor to put in twelve (12) months work in the year without suffering from exposure. Figuring from the standpoint of intelligence, energy, faithful per formance, and high production. I will say South Carolina labor, by far, exceeds that of other states. Our laborers are native born and bred. 8. Continuation of the Publication Of Weekly Market Bulletin The publishing of the Market Bulletin not only gives pleasure to the department but proves profit able to the 44,000 subscribers and others. Thousands of dollars worth of produce has been mar keted through its columns. In all probability without this medium much produce would have gone to waste. We are directly interested in every member of our large fam ily of 44,000 subscribers and also the thousands of consumers. With the splendid system of highways, schools, industrial development, and the well trained high type of citizens hip in South Carolina, my prediction is that prosperity is sure to come.
