Extension Information Specialist
Portable Sawmill
The sawmill is on a trailer.
And the power unit is mounted
on the truck that pulls it. It
can be ready to move on to the
next farm in 20 minutes and
can afford to stop to cut as
little as 3,000 feet of lumber.
That’s what Clemson’s exten
sion forester. Bill Barker, tells
me about the outfit being oper
ated in Colleton county by Ed
Rouark of Walterboro.
And that’s something new. It
adds new importance to the
farm woodland. In the past
it has often been impossible for
a farmer to get a little lumber
cut from his woods when he
needed it. The stationary mill
was too far away. It did not
cater to custom work. He had
no way of loading and hauling
his few logs. Or all of these
things cost more than it came
to.
Yes, there were many good
reasons why it was bard to thus
utilize timber there on the
farm for recurring needs.
But this portable sawmill out
fit changes all of that. It can
go right there in the farmer’s
back yard, pasture, or out in
the woods, where the logs can
be rolled to it or dragged with
a set of grab hooks.
And the slabs and strips too
are left right there on the farm
in small batches where they
can be utilized for wood, bean
poles, chicken coops, etc.
With machinery comes better
farm living just about all the
way around.
Questions To Ask
Talking about machinery,
there are many sorts, and there
will be more. Clemson’s ex
tension engineer, G. H. Stewart,
suggests several questions to ask
of a machine of any sort before
you buy it. They are:
Can you get parts and service
for it?
Is it standard and proven?
Will it do the job?
“Yes,” should be the well-
seasoned answer to all three, if
you are to get it.
Pecan Information
Extension Circular 301 en
titled “Pecan Production and
Marketing in South Carolina” is
available free from your local
county agent.
Assistant County Agent Yar
borough of Edgefield tells me
that they delivered 400 pecan
trees in a cooperative order re
cently.
A good pecan tree or so
around every farm home is a
good investment. They do three
things—add beauty, furnish
shade, and produce nuts. We
need some shade around every
home. Why not have the other
things too that pecans carry.
Pecans do well when scatter
ed around with plenty of room.
Out by the wood-pile, near the
wash pot, and near the barn
yard, they do specially well.
They do best and develop into
the prettiest trees when they
are not crowded by any other
trees. I know of one such in
the Low Country that has con
sistently produced from 250 to
450 pounds of nuts yearly for
the past 20 years, and, at the
same time, shaded a back yard
like an umbrella. It has plenty
of room on all sides.
Alta Fescue
Assistant County Agent Kin-
ard of Hampton told me that
Guy Thomas received good graz
ing in January from his alta
fescue that was seeded in Oc
tober.
The county agents and SCS
boys put out hundreds of plant
ings of this and Kentucky 31
fescue over the state last fall.
Early results from these fescues
look mighty encouraging. “June

Just as milk is natures most nearly perfect food for
man, so is grass the most nearly perfect food for the
cow . . , and whats just as important ... its the
cheapest.
GROW MORE GRASS
Clemson College, in its 1948 program for South
Carolina Agriculture, emphasizes just that:
“Increase your acreage of Improved
Permanent Pastures and Annual Graz
ing Crops.”
By following these rules you will produce more milk
and butter. Remember, there is still a shortage of
butter and milk products.
