FARMS
AND
FOLKS
By J. M. Eleazer
Belter Chickens
Egg production has been the
aim of most poultry improve
ment in the past. And science
has done a lot in that dierc-
tion. The egg production that
has been built up in the mod
ern laying hen is a far call
from that of the wild jungle
fowl of India, from which our
chickens came. But as a meat
bird, many of our best layers
are little, if any, better than
the wild ones from whence
they came.
In recent years science has
tackled the job of giving us a
better meat bird. This has
been centered in “The Chicken
of Tomorrow Contest.”
Various poultry breeders are
at work on the production of
superior meat birds. Crosses
and hybrids are being produced.
And the results already make
the average broiler look like
an old crow in comparison.
Entry blanks for this contest
may be secured from Mr. Good
ing here at Clemson. All en
tries must be in to him before
Feb. 15. And the chicks that
are to be entered must be
hatched between February 27
and March 4. Anyone may en
ter. Winners will be determ
ined when the state contest is
held at Spartanburg the latter
part of May. Each contestant
takes a batch of his broilers
there and they are judged be
fore and after slaughter.
Last yecir, when the contest
was held at Clemson, I bought
a batch of those superior broil
ers and put them in our freez
er. That sooiled us. And now
ordinary broilers look mighty
sorry to us when we get. to
eating ’em.
So it’s better meat chickens
for the future, now that science
has taken hold of that.
Poison Pay
The control of the boll weev
il is such a problem, and there
are so many ways of doing it
wrong, that the Clemson Ex
tension Service, in cooperation
with County Agent Cannon of
Laurens and the farmers of
Hopewell community, put a
man there the past summer to
assist farmers in doing the job
right from the beginning on a
community basis. (Gracious,
that’s a long sentence. I don’t
like ’em.)
There they tried hard to do
everything right and on time.
And all farms fought the weev
il. So there was little weevil
overlapping, and poison had a
chance to show its stuff in sav
ing a crop.
It so happened that we had
a bad weevil year. And this
work had a chance to show
what a community could do in
controlling the weevil, if all
worked together.
Those 34 farmers had 2198
acres of cotton. The year be
fore, Laurens county averaged
320 pounds of lint cotton per
acre. The past year it averaged
230, which indicates the severi
ty of the weeving in 1949.
But let’s look at Hopewell
community. In 1948 these same
farmers averaged 393.5 pounds
of lint. While last year, which
was such a bad one all over the
§tate and in the rest of Lau
rens county, they came up with
420.8 pounds of lint per acre.
They used very little more
poison than other farmers. But
they started about 10 days
earlier, and did it as nearly
right as the Clemson man could
show them and weather would
permit. And it was on a com
munity basis. So most of them
did not have weevils eternally
coming in from adjoining fields
where no ooison was used.
Yes, these new poisons used
right will hold boll weevils
down. And that’s what we
have been looking for for so
long. Last year rot got a lot
of tne cotton that was saved
from the weevil. But that does
not often happen.
Of All Things
I read where a farmer broke
broody hens from setting by
placing ice cubes in their nests.
He said they would usually sit
for a few minutes, soon go to
squirming a bit, and then leave,
in distrust and not come back.
Boys Are That Way
We always asked a blessing
at mealtime. And all of the!
1 kids had to be able to, for they
were often called upon.
Once we had company, and
they just happened to call upon
my brother that time. By mis
take, he started off on' the
Lord’s Prayer instead. He tried
to go back and get it right.
But he and I got so tickled we
had to leave the table.
Sometime ago I was up in
the woods of northern Maine.
While sitting around a log fire
there in Harry Umphrey’s lodge
at the end of the road, he toldi
us of a memorable visit he had
a good many years ago with
the late Cleveland Sanders at
Ritter, down in Colleton coun
ty. There he had received the
last word in southern hospitali
ty.
A beautiful blessing he heard
there impressed him and he re
membered it. It went this way:
“Some would eat but have no
meat.
And some have meat but can
not eat.
But we have meat, and we can
eat.
For which we thank the Lord,”
And one in the party remem
bered this one, in a very dif
ferent vein:
“Lord mak* us able to eat all
that’s on the table.
And if there’s any more in the
pot.
Bring it on while it’s hot.
Amen.”
