It is proper that all farmers —
large and small — should receive
recognition for the great contribu
tion being made to the war effort.
Since the Farm Security Adminis
tration as an agency deals only
with small farmers, this statement
will be made from that point of
view.
Small Farms Numerous
Because small farmers through
out the State and Nation are so
numerous their combined produc
tion is significantly large. During
the past winter a careful farm by
farm study was made of the total
war production of the 9,652 South
Carolina farm families who in 1913
received financial and supervisory
assistance from FSA. About half
of these families were white rnd
half colored. They represent Ji!,-
524 people. The farms aver '?d
about 40 acres of cultivated ‘ ±
The Farm Security AdminisU" ' n
organization in Soutp, Carol in \s
felt that the real test during
Families averaged better than
one acre in vegetable gardens from
which fresh food was obtained in
large quantities. 2.600,301 quarts
of food were conserved, being
chiefly fruits, vegetables and
meats. This represents an aver
age of 269 quarts per family. Also ?
nearly 20,000 bushels of fruits and
vegetables were preserved by dry
ing. '
From 74,000 acres of wheat and
other small grains the harvest was
just above 1,000,000 bushels. 130,- :
000 acres of corn yielded two mil- j
lion bushels. Practically all small j
grain acreage was followed with
a summer legume hay crop which
produced 48,400 tons. Approxi
mately 3,000 tons of peanuts were
harvested from 9,279 acres.
Chief, among,, miscellaneous
crops that families used effective
ly in feeding themselves and pro
ducing a surplus for market were
sweet potatoes, Irish potatoes, rice,
and syrup crops. With an aver
age of slightly less than one acre
per family of sweet potatoes, the
harvest amounted to 609,000 bush
els. Some 3,000 families harvested
12,000 bushels of rice from 1,100
acres. Sugar rationing has stim
ulated syrup production, a total of
286,455 gallons being produced
from 3,392 acres.
irhe chief cash war crops pro
duced by FSA families were nat
urally cotton and tobacco. 44,600
bales of lint and 20,000 tons of
seed were harvested from approx
imately 93.000 acres of cotton. 6,-
698 acres of tobacco yielded in
round numbers 5,000,000 pounds.
Scrap Drive and Soldiers
FSA borrowers participated
wholeheartedly in national drives
for scrap metal and scrap rubber.
In these drives borrowers and
their families in 1943 sold or do
nated a little more than one mil
lion pounds of scrap metal and a
quarter million pounds of rubber
