FRIDAY, APRIL 29, 1949 THE NEWBERRY SUN PAGE FIVE SEEN ALONG THE ROADSIDE By J. M. Eleazer Clemson Ext. Info. Specialist Just about the full weight of corn products enrichment is ppw being felt in South Caro lina. The past 163 additional corn mill^ ove the state put in the enrihment attachments that are made by Clemson and furnished at cost. State coverage with this dis covery of science, whereby good food poducts of grits and meal from corn are made into better foods, has been cham pioned from the very first by the state nutrition committee and cooperating health and legislative authorities. Results are likely showing up in better nourished people. And if hard times should come, dur ing which more cheap corn products are eaten, the state of general health will undoubt edly be far better than it would have otherwise been. I The other day I traveled a familiar road in Sumter coun- j ty that I hadn’t been along • since I left there as county agent over three years ago. It goes through a seltlement of small farmers, two to three horse fellows. But I didn’t see any horses or mules in their fields. I saw tractors! Must have been at least some custom work going on there. Some of those were white farmers and some colored. Thus the machine goes to small farms too. And what two or three men used to do on each of these small farms with mules and plows, small tractor outfits now do with only one man required. And it seemed that they were do ing it better. The land was well plowed, not scratched over. So it begins to look as though the mule will gradually go. even for the small farms where folks thought the tractor could n’t reach. I am not necessarily advocating that. I’m simply reporting what I saw. be held on the 22nd through the 26th. Outstanding speakers, demon strations, lectures, and field meetings will make up the busy week. Farm, machinery and home equipment dealers will display and demonstrate labor-saving machines and ap pliances. Board and lodging will be provided reasonably in the college barracks and din ing room.
