Hog Sellers May Get
Adjustment Payments
CORN - HOG PROGRAM NOW ON
OFFERS ADVANTAGES TO
COMMERCIAL PRODUCERS
Plant A Year
’Round Garden
Clemson College, March 10.—An
active campaign to acquaint all
interested farmers with the various
features of the corn - hog adjust
ment program as formulated by
the Agricultural Adjustment Ad
ministration is now being’taken up
by the South Carolina Extension
Service, says R. W. Hamilton, as
sistant to Director W. W. Long.
A. L. DuRant, extension livestock
specialist, with headquarters at
Florence, will be in charge of these
corn - hog adjustment activities
with the active assistance of other
ivestock specialists and the county
agents.
So far the work has been taker
up actively only in the coastal
counties, but as the heavy work
with cotton and tobacco adjust
ment campaigns lightens, the
corn-hog work is being given fuller
attention in other sections.
South Carolina hog producers
who marketed hogs during the pe
riod 1932-33 should find participa
tion in the program much to their
advantage because of the liberal
payments allowed, says Mr. Ham
ilton, pointing out that in order to
participate farmers must show
written evidence of hogs sold,
along with other requirements, and
must of course sign agreement to
j reduce by 25 per cent the number
of hogs during the coming year.
This year we are insisting that
every family, white or colored,
landowner, renter or share crop
per, plant a year-round garden. On
every cotton farm there will be a
certain number of acres left out
of cotton production. Clemson Col
lege is insisting that these acres be
used to the best advantage for the
farm family. Each year we find
that the average garden does not
supply vegetables sufficient for
both the table and storage for
winter use according to the can
ning and storage budget.
This year we hope that every
farm family will plant not only the
garden spot, but some of these
rented acres in vegetables for fam
ily use. EVery landowner is re
quested to urge his tenants, both
white and colored, to have a “big*
garden and to raise enough vege
tables for the year’s supply. The
home demonstration agent and
emergency ^worker will be glad to
help can this extra supply of veg
etables. The colored emergency
worker will also assist with this
project.
Clemson and Winthrop College
have worked, out a list of vegeta
bles to be planted for a family of
five. This is a minimum supply
only. Many families will want to
double or triple this amount in
order to furnish the surplus need
ed. This is the very lowest quan
tity suggested for family of five.
It is as follows:
1 1-4 pks. Irish Cobbler, Bliss^
Early Red.
1 oz. Marglobe Tomatoes.
1-2 oz. Seven-Top Turnips (for
greens only).
1-2 oz. Giant Southern Curled.
Mustard.
2 pkgs. Georgia or Southern
Georgia Collards.
1 pkg. Early Jersey Wakefield,
Succession, Flat Dutch Cabbage.
1 1-2 lbs. Stringless Green Pod,
Bountiful Beans.
1 oz. Extra Early Purple Top or
White Egg Turnips.
1 to 2 qts. sets Onions, Yellow
Globe, Denvers.
1 oz. Carrots, Chantenay.
1 lb. per 100 hills Com, Stowelh*
Evergreen.
3 ozs. Okra, Perkins Mammotln
or Long Green.
1 lb. Lima Beans, Carolina or
Sieva Beans.
2 ozs. Beets, Crosby’s Egyptian,
Detroit Red.
