McCORMICK MESSENGER, McCORMICK, SOUTH CAROLINA Thursday, August 13, 1942 More Fall Gardens In McCormick County McCormick County *people may expect to see more Fall gardens this year than ever before, with a particular increase among farmers participating in the Farm Security Administration program. Cooperating with the Depart ment of Agriculture’s war effort to raise more food, not only for market, but for home use, 125 farm families who have a part in the Farm Security program will have a late summer and fall gar den, E. Hanvey, County Supervisor, said. • Farm Security families in Mc Cormick County have increased their garden acreage by 40 per cent since they came on the pro gram, he pointed out. Of the 125 families cooperating with the Farm Security program, all of them have gardens, Mr. Hanvey said. Approximately 80 'families had fall gardens in 1941. This year the number will be increased to 100 per cent. As a result of the garden pro gram, food preservation has also been increased, and families . are canning and storing more foods for a balanced diet. .Although most families have already filled three- fourths at their canning budget of 100 quarts per person, canning will be done until September, es pecially field beans, and other late vegetables. Farm Security house wives are busy this month making cabbage kraut and storing fruits and vegetables to save tops and rubbers. With seed already on hand from the 115 garden packages bought this spring, Farm Security families during July planted fall gardens in lower areas where moisture was abundant. Collards, carrots, cab bage, field peas, tender greens, ru- ’ abaga, fall Irifeh potates, turnips, rape, bush Gutter beans, and squash are aqgong the vegetables they have planted. Old runners were rooted- from tomato plants for late tomatoes, and many fam ilies planted beans and butter beans for sale. \ £« • \ % s A / \ -XX- Colored Registrants To Be Inducted In The Near Future The local .Selective.

DORN, Chairman; R. L. DENDY, W. P. PARKS, MRS. R. L. FAULKNER drives produce—they must have a steady, unending stream of tljis material. We think we cleaned up about all tlm rubber and scrap around our prace during the recent big “pushes.” But it is long odds that we didn’t. This writer made another search around the farm which he operates and was shock ed at the amount of rubber, and particularly of scrap iron which be had missed. All sorts of little pieces turned up, and he changed bis mind on a good many heavier pieces which he thought might be too useful around the place at some time or other. Now as a matter of cold cal culation that “some time or oth er" might not arrive unless we civilians get as hardboiled as the military does. Wars are won back of the fighting lines just as much as on them. Each day makes us realize what a long hard road we have ahead of us and each day should make us dig a little deeper into the rubbish heap in our ceaseless search for more and ever more scrap. A little bit more will turn up each time we make a search. Some times it will be too small an amount to send in or to sell; but if we start our own personal scrap piles it won’t be long be fore they grow to saleable or giveable dimensions. There are six million farms in the United States. If only half of these collected and turned in reg ularly all their accumulated and accumulating scrap iron, it would very materially hasten the con struction of the ships and other armaments which we need for vic tory. It is always possible to find out where to deliver old rubber, scrap iron and other useful salvage. Ask the town banker, or the preacher, or the chamber of commerce, or the women’s club, or the Red Cross or the Boy Scouts or corner gro cer or the garbage man. Some one will know.'' At this very moment one of our troubles is a shortage of steel with which to build ships —and ships mean victory. Every pound of scrap iron which every one of us can sell or give is needed right now. We have got to win this war and this is one way in which al most every farmer has helped and can steadily continue to help. “Keep the Scrap Heap Growing” might well be another useful slo gan. x- Livestock Guide Proper attention to their live stock enterprises in late summer will pay farmers well, says County Agent G. W. Bonnette, who gives these important reminders: Animal Husbandry 1. Full-feed all hogs intended for September market. 2. T irn hogs on corn when it is in he glazed stage. 3.
