Seven or eight years ago. J. D.
Winburn, a young farmer in the
sandv section of Darlington Coun-
tv, made livestock a major part of
his operations. This year he is able
to hold on to about 60 bales of
delta long staple cotton that he
might have sold as ginned for
around 10 cents a pound. Mr. Win-
burn began farming on his own
about 12 years ago, having origin
ally 85 acres of land. He later
came into possession of about twice
that much more, and he now rents
for cultivating a good deal more
in addition.
“Hogs have saved me from cot

declares. He milks thirteen cows
and sells cream, butter and butter
