ACREAGES DQWN AND
PRODUCTION UP
Science has come to the farms
of this country in a big way in
recent years with some of the
main crops, we now plant con
siderably less acreage but make
more stuff than we did on the
larger acreage before.
Look at corn. Years ago we
got to over 100 million acres of it
in this country. But in recent
years that has been going down
constantly. For the 10-year
period 1040-49 we averaged just
under 88 million acres, and last
year it was 81 million. Yet the
total production has tended con
stantly upward.
On an average acreage of just
about 100 million from 1926 to
1928 we averaged making just
over 2 ^ billion bushels. But for
the past 6 years, 1947-62 we have
averaged over 3 billion bushels on
only 86 million acres. In that
first period we made 26i4 bushels
per acre. While for the past
6 years we have averaged 36.8
bushels of corn per acre in this
country. The 6-point Clemson
plan is at work in the corn fields
of South Carolina and watch our
yields.
Our story with cotton here is
very similar to that. Far less
acreage, and the yield away up,
that’s the story. Our cotton im
provement contest has figured
greatly in this.
Science in the saddle! We can’t
expand acreages, for various rea
sons I won’t go into now. But
every 24 hours we have over
7,000 more folks to feed. Over
2 Vi ‘million more mouths to feed
and bodies to clothe each year-
One might ask, where is the
food and clothing coming from
to take care of these increasing
millions ? It looks like it can
and will come from vertical farm
ing for a long time yet. That is,
higher yields on the acreages we
do plant.
Science is developing many
ways of doing this. Irrigation is
one powerful factor that hasn’t
been brought into the picture in
much of the country yet. It car
ries a vast potential for the on
coming millions to harness. The
science of plant breeding, fertiliz
ers, and the like are playing their
part too. The county agents dem
onstrate the new things in the
field. They take hold there,
soon most folks are using them,
and we come up with more and
more from fewer and fewer acres
Now this thing can’t go on for
ever. There must be some limit.
But we have so far to go in ap-
natural sites for them as in the
plying even what’s known now
that we don’t need to start worry
ing about that. And in the
meantime experiment and ex
perience will be finding out still
greater facts to apply in the
field.
FARM PONDS
They are getting ponds down in
the Low Country too at places.
They do not have as many
mid-state and Up Country. But
at places down there I see them
making a place by digging a big
hole for seepage water to ac
cumulate in.
County Agent King of Marion
told me they built 10 ponds in
that country last year, and had
already built 20 this year. Prac
tically all of these folks have
irrigation in mind, he said. Your
local SC S man can help plan your
pond.
4-H AND CROPS IN HORRY
Assistant County Agent Bent
on of Horry told me they had
1,200 4-H club members in that
county, about equally divided be
tween boys and girls.
And County Agent Johnston
was enthusiastic about crop pros
pects there/ Everything including
their big tobacco crop, got off to
a very good start and was look
ing good when I was there in
early June.
That’s a rich agricultural coun
ty, and rich in good small farm
ers. They have several thou
sand of ’em. And their crops are
>FP
I REMEMBER
BY THE OLD TIMERS
varied, tobacco being king. The
sweet potato is a major crop on
hundreds of their farms.
CHAMPION CATTLE
The 4-H youngsters have led
the parade in bringing better cat
tle to South Carolina: We have
seen that from the time of the
earliest fat stock shows. Cattle
improvement is rapid in all sec
tions. In Charleston the 4-H
youngsters have had the grand
champion at the Columbia show
for the past five years, according
to County Agent Carraway. And
before that they were always in
the running at the Walterboro
show.
PIMENTOS IN McCORMICK
Twenty-six. farmers in McCor
mick have 50 acres of pimento
peppers, according to County
Agent Bonnette, who promdted
this new project there. The con
tract price is $80 a ton, and they
will be delivered once a week
at McCormick for hauling to the
Georgia cannery.

From Mrs. Bertha Andrew, Belfry,
Mont.: I remember when mother
lad to wash the wool and cotton
md then went to the woods and
:ound the different plants to color
it red or brown. Then she corded
it, spun the thread and wove the
cloth to make our wool blankets,
cotton towels and underwear. I also
remember the old song, “Just Be
cause She Made Them Goo-Goo
Eyes.”
From Mrs. Vern Boulton, Boise,
Idaho: I remember when I was a
little girl. Dad always sent me to
the icehouse Sunday morning to
■»et the ice for the wonderful home
made ice cream mother made. We
would all take our turns at' the
freezer.
From Mrs. Allen Thompson, Eu
bank, Ky.: I remember when
women rode mules and horses to
church. They rode side-saddle,
with one baby in their laps and one
on behind. The men would either
walk in front or ride another horse
or mule. The women wore long
calico dresses that dragged the
ground.
From J. T. Fillingim, Graceville,
Fla.: I remember when the
preacher announced night meeting
he said it would start at early
andlelight. If he had said seven
/clock, not many people would
have had clocks or watches to go
by.
From Alice Nicholson, Cascade,
Mont.: I remember when you
went to the store to get a gallon of
uerosene, and the grocer put a po
tato on the spout so it' wouldn’t
spill.
