¥, FEBRUARY 29, 1952 Hfe MKWfiBRRY StfH FARMS AND FOLKS By J. M. ELEAZER Clemson Extension Information Specialist COTTON IS MORE THAN LINT The world generally thinks only of the lint when cotton is men tioned. And it is the most valu able part at the present time. But some day it could be dif ferent. We reed to keep in mind the many useful products that come from cotton. These were illu strated in the exhibit of the State Department of Agriculture at the State Fair last fall. Out of 1,- 370 pounds of average seed cot ton we get 500 pounds of lint. Add the usual 22 pounds of bag ging and ties to that and we have a bale weighing 522 pounds. And there is where we are prone to stop in evaluating cotton. But let’s remember, with that same bale of cotton went 842 pounds of seed. And those magic seed gave up these things: 128 pounds of oil, 379 pounds of meal, 170 pounds of hulls, and 83 pounds of linters. The other 28 pounds making up the 1,370 pounds of seed cotton was gin ning loss of moisture, trash, etc. That oil is a good concentrated human food. The meal is one of the best protein feeds for live stock. The hulls have many in dustrial uses as well as being a livestock feed. And the linters also have many important in dustrial uses, one of the chief of which is in the making of high explosives. So, cotton, we salute you, the crop that fills more of man’s needs than any other! You large ly clothe the world. And your seed add a vast tonnage to the world’s food supply with their wholesome and nutritious oil. Your meal is one of earth’s larg est sources of protein feed, your hulls add bulk to cattle rations and fill many industrial needs, while your linters have for gen erations gone to make high ex plosives that protected the Na tion and to other industrial uses! Largely through the 5-acre cot ton improvement contest, South Carolina farmers have become better cotton growers in recent years. Last year saw us rfiake out all-time yield record in the str.te, and one farmer in Edge field, J. Maurice Smith, set, so far as we have been able to de termine, a new world’s record pro duction with 3% bales per acre' on his 5-acre contest plot! County agents will be enrolling farmers in the immediate days ahead for the 1952 cotton im provement contest. PECAN MARKET County Agent Shelley of Barn well says many farmers there got 2 to 5 cents a pound more for their pecans the past fall by taking them to the auction mark et at Orangeburg. That was the second year of that market that County Agent McComb and the extension mark eting men assisted in getting it there. Both the buyers and the sellers seem to like that form of selling. The nuts pass in front of the buyers on a moving belt. Thus they are able to see and examine all of them. In that way they are not buying “a cat in the bag." FATHER-SON PARTNERSHIP* J. E. Davis and son of Sumter county have a good father-son partnership in their large turkey business , according to County Agent Bowen. He says, “This year they handled about 20,000 birds, have put in modern brooder houses and a dressing plant, and have added beef cattle produc tion to their program.” I notice that some other turkey growers over the state are com bining beef cattle and turkeys. Where the turkeys range it be comes very fertile. They have to rotate those areas. When the turkeys are off, abundant pastur age there takes care of the cattle. The result, diversification, two crops rather than one. MILK IN OCONEE Milk deliveries on their route held up better during the winter than they expected, according to County Agent Morgan of Oconee. And he says they have been work ing on the new routes for the county. This new farm income from milk is thought to be well suited to the many small farms of Oconee. WATER! We can’t appreciate what water is really worth until we don’t have it. Away out on the brush lands and cactus country of Mexico I’ve seen the water holes that were drying up. Folks and animals drained them to their last drop. And then they had to move on to another one or to a river. Land as rich as cream is there. But its parched surface only brings forth the puny things of the dry lands. Something to Think About 111 When buying or trading cars, or making a loan on your present car, isn’t it better to deal with a HOME OWNED FINANCE COMPANY.

The 4-tH Public Speaking awards program is being conduct ed in South Carolina for the third consecutive year, the State Club office has announced.

The state win ning girl receives a beautiful set of silverware, and the outstand ing boy gets a 17-Jewel wrist watch. Awards are provided by the Pure Oil Co., which this year also offers two college scholar ships of 3300 each and two educa tional trips to the 31st National 4-H Club Congress in Chicago next November for national win ners. All states are eligible to submit candidates for those two national award£. Last year's "state winners in South Carolina were Gerald D. Guest, Darlington, and Diane E. Boland, of Pomaria.
