OUR GOLDEN AGE
“Our golden age on the farms'
in South Carolina is somewhere
out front,” said Director Watkins
in a recent address at Aiken to
the pasture contest winners.
He was thinking of the awaken
ing that’s coming so fast to
our land of cotton. Not that
we are thinking less of cotton,
but that our eyes are being open
ed to other possibilities that have
lain dormant here so long. And,
as they take hold on the land,
cotton itself is made into a bet
ter crop with their help.
With the machine and varied
livestock and money crops, a bet
ter farm life beckons to intelli
gence diligently applied.
X can well remember when
Clemson educated principally
farm leaders. .Now it also edu
cates leading farmers. Back then
a job in some agricultural field
looked better to the graduate
than a pair of plow handles, for
you coumJ hire a boy to hold
them up for $6 a month. But now
that mechanization has come and
aiversity promises more, it takes
intelligence out there on the soil
to do the job. And the returns
nave become inviting. So now
we see many bright youngsters
being educated to the soil, not
away from it.
And, I'm sure, all of this goes
to Help make the “golden age”
that Director Watkins was talk
ing about.
65 MILLION ACRES;
it took 65 million acres of land
to feed the 20 million horses and
mules that have already gone
from the farms of this country.
now that land is used for grow
ing food and fiber. It represents
one-sixth of our total cultivated
acreage.
m 1910 we had 24 million head
of work stock in this country.
Now we have 6 million. Then
we had one thousand tractors.
Now we have 4 million!
Change, my, my! And this
change has contributed much to
"our golden age” that Director
Watkins was talking about above
too.
Personally I hate to see the
critters go. They added a soli
darity and self-sufficiency to the
farm that was real. They went
with the farmer, through the ups
and downs. And when adversity
struck, and the farmer scraped
the bottom of his barrel, they
gnawed on the logs of the barn
and ate coarse stuff in the pas
ture to pull through with him
until better times. But, feel as
we may ab >ut it, change and
progress are relentless. And we
move on to what usually proves
to be better things.
Often in crossing South Caro
lina now I believe I see more
tractor outfits in the fields than
mules. And we are fast learn
ing to get the best out of those
iron mules too. County agents
arrange farm machinery schools.
Some years ago, when critters
were still rather plentiful, these
schools were attended by small
groups. But now the farm ma^
chinery schools are usually at
tended by such crowds as to
make it hard for the engineers
of Clemson to get the intimate de
tails over to every man.
The mule largely took care of
himself, as long as we kept feed
in the trough. But with the trao*
tor it is entirely different. We
must master its every need, and
be attentive to its every squeak
and sputter, if we are to get the
service out of them that proper
attention insures.
TOBACCO
This thing o£ change, that 1
often talk about, comes up with
\ practically everything we can
mention.
I happen to have some facts
before me on tobacco use. That
used in cigars has not changed
appreciably in 30 years. Tobac
co used ' in snuff has remained
the same too. Smoking and
chewing tobacco is now hardly
half what it was in 1920. But
cigarettes are taking about 10
times as much tobacco as they
did back then. Cigarettes use
up about four-fifths of the to
bacco used in this country.
The eastern part of our state
is lucky to be in the area that
grows cigarette tobacco, the sort
for which an expanding demand
has existed. And it looks likq
that upward tendency will con
tinue. At least the outlook is for
more cigarettes in 1952 than any
previous year.
Weeds were once a bad pest on
tobacco plant beds, and it took
much tedious labor to get them
out by hand. But now science
has found a remedy for that. Did
you treat your bed. It is too late
now. But your county agent can
tell you how for next year.
