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. By home
owned company, we mean a company wholly owned
and operated by people who have always lived in
Newberry.
When you deal with us you are not just a name
on our ledger. We both get to know each other
through personal contact and we stand ready at
all times to assist you in any reasonable way pos
sible in case of illness, loss of job, etc. A great
many of our good customers can testify to this
fact.
We have built up our business through honest,
efficient and courteous service and it will always be
our way of doing business. When doing business
with us your contract does not leave Newberry and
any time you care to pay off the contract it is in
our office ready to be returned to you. As all
transactions are made in our office here in Newber
ry we feel that we can give you a more personal
service than you could obtain elsewhere.
If you are interested in: Buying a New or Used
Car on Terms, refinancing your present contract, or
making a loan on your car, we would be glad tp have
you call. No waiting. No red tape.

3rd Year In S. C.
The 4-tH Public Speaking
awards program is being conduct
ed in South Carolina for the

Thousands of 4-H Club boys

the training offered through this
program.
As incentives for outstanding
records in public speaking in this

medals are awarded to the top
rating boy and girl in each parti
cipating county. The state win

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.

This program is conducted
