S hips returning from other missions, are bringing natural soda from Chile—for this year’s biggest of all food production jobs. It is soda you know all about— can store and handle easily—can depend on for top and side dressing. How much will there be? That’s hard to say, but last year Chile sent 1,000,000 tons to U. S. farmers and think what that would mean this year. 6S • Properly applied, 1,000,000 tons of Chilean Nitrate would produce 250,000,000 bu. oi oats or 100,000,000 bu. of wheat; 125,000,000 bu. oi com or 4,800,000 tons oi iorage crops; 6,000,000 tons oi vegetables or 2,500,000 bales oi cotton and 1,100,000 tons oi cotton seed. Natural Chilean Nitrate, always a big factor in food pro duction, is absolutely vital this year—enough and in time for all essential needs. rtin SPONSORED BY ^ ,v The South Carolina Bankers Association / IN COOPERATION WITH Soil Conservation District Supervisors ,2wk m X i v it-'. ; " ■- 7 - > * i; * # m & m is c ni ■ . ■% ,v. Piedmont Section Coastal Section Shown above are photographs of abandoned South Carolina farm homes. Once these were fine, comfortable homes on prosperous farms. Farmers built these homes for their families with money made by growing crops and livestock on these farms. Their children grew up in these homes, went to school and out into the world. They were proud of their homes and always came back when they could. > Now these once prosperous farms are abandoned, and these once fine homes are falling to ruin. These farms will no longer produce crops and livestock enough to enable a farmer to maintain a home and make a living for his family. No longer does a happy family live on either of these farms and no more children grow up on these farms to be proud of their home. All that is left is ruin and desolation. (Use either of the above pictured farms as a basis ,for the essay, depending upon the one which represents most nearly the section in which the contestant resides.) 1. What caused this prosperous farm and this fine farm home to be abandoned? 2. What could have been done to prevent this farm and farm home from going to ruin and be ing abandoned? 3.
