SACRIFICE IS TOO 6REAT IF TT WILL MAKE Me HAPPY ’ AH-H-h-h- MM I CAY MtAX— SHE REALLY MAP MR WORRIED FOR A LITTLE WHILE F-AJ w, Producing Food First Farming Need In 1943 Director Watkins Says, Let’s Go Ahead With Flans For Pro duction in 1943 Clemson, Nov. 21.—“There never was a time when more careful thought should be given to pro ducing all the main food supplies required on the farm,” says Direc tor D. W. Watkins of the Clemson Extension Service, in speaking of the conditions facing South Car olina farmers in 1943 and the future. “Purchased foods of every sort will be very expensive because of shortage of transportation and high cost of processing,” Director Watkins explained. Hence, the importance of having every farmer consider and act upon these conditions which he names regarding the production of food for home use and war needs: Most farm families that do not grow their own home gardens will in all probability suffer in more or less degree from malnutrition 'in 1943. There is no reason for farm people to go without plenty of sweets, since sweets can be pro vided from sorghum, sugarcane, and honey. There will be a continued de mand for all of the pork, meat, milk, eggs, and poultry that can be produced and assembled in marketable quantities. There is a demand for beef be yond the immediate capacity to supply it, and in this state the development of pastures through the use of lime and in some cases phosphates is basic to most kinds of livestock production. Cheap roughage, such as comes from pearl milM. kudzu, lespede- ! za, pcavine, and other types of quality hay, are basic to beef and milk production. There is more reason than ever for producing home supplies of such crops as corn, oats, wheat, and rice. There will be a demand for all the livestock and livestock prod ucts that can be produced on the. basis of locally produced feed grains, hay, pastures, and forage. We have not in many years produced sufficient quahtity of high quality, U. S. No. 1 Porto Rico sweet potatoes, although ordinary run-of-the-field, nondescript, un graded varieties are always a drag on the market.
