Home Production Key
Better Farm Living
Clemson, Jan. 13.—“The poor
prospect for cash incomes on
South Carolina farms is the basis
for the suggestion that every own
er and manager of a farm in 1941
devote enough time, thought, and
cooperation to see that each farm
family starts producing plenty of
food for the people who live op
the farm”, says Director D. W.
Watkins of the Extension Service.
“While America has plenty of
food, many South Carolina farm
families do not have a cow, chick
ens, a garden, enough sweet pota
toes, or corn, homemade syrup,
hogs for home slaughter, wheat
for home use, nor the power to
purchase these things.
“Encourage, manage, demon
strate, and coerce them within
reason if necessary to get started
in some of these things according
to economic and natural possibili
ties. Adjusted contracts with ten
ants and croppers may be made
to help working families help
themselves.
“Good health and ability to
work are known to depend on ade
quate diets and shelter. The av
erage working farm family of
,South Carolina apparently will
either produce more of its own
staples than heretofore or will
further reduce its already low food
standards.
“The national welfare and self-
interest will lead owners, tenants,
and croppers now to use every
possible means of increasing their
cash incomes, and with remaining
hinrtris rpamireea. and time nro-
