Review Made Of
S. C. Business
Upward trends in most major
lines of business activity in South
Carolina in the first 9 months of
1952 as compared with the cor
responding period in 1951 were
reported in the quarterly sum
mary of business conditions ih
the State issued by C. W. Martin,
District Manager of the U.S. De
partment of Commerce, Charles
ton, South Carolina. Bank debits
in South Carolina rose 6.9 per
cent. Department store trade was
on the increase in Charleston, Co
lumbia and Greenville where the
percentage was 19, 6 and 3 re
spectively. A decline of 5 per
cent in department store trade
was registered in Anderson. The
number of residential telephones
in South Carolina was up 4.8 per
cent with an increase of 10.3 per
cent more business telephone in
operation.
Mr. Martin’s report represented
a composite digest of reports on
South Carolina business conditions
released by the Department of
Commerce, Labor and Agriculture,
Federal Power Commission, Fed
eral Reserve Banks of Atlanta and
Richmond, Dun and Bradstreet,
Southern Bell Telephone and Tele
graph Company and Southern Pine
Association.
Electric energy produced in the
state for utility and industrial pur
poses increased 30.7 percent to
lead all Southeastern states in
percentage increase.
Cotton consumed decreased 2.6
percent but as compared to all
Southeastern States it was the
smallest decrease. An increase of
3.2 percent in the number of cot
ton spindles in place and 2.6 per
cent increase in the number active
the last working day of September
was registered.
In the eight-month review of esti
mated cash farm income, South
Carolina registered a 9.0 percent
gain at the end of August of this
year over the same period last
year.

A GOOD 1953 IS
SEEN FOR THE FARM
By D. W. WATKINS
(Director S. C. Extension Service)
CLEMSON, Jan. 3—Many fore
casts concerning the year 1953
have been made and such a large
percentage of them are favorable,
with the exception of certain parts
of the farm picture, that it is easy
to feel optimistic. The “Happy
New Year” to mankind through
out the Christian world seems to
be economically possible to an un
usual degree in the New Year.
To be realistic we shall recog
nize the "squeeze” in agriculture
,which has become progressively
tighter for the past five years and
is now the basic reason for the
continued decline in the number
of farmers in this country. What
farm people can do about the
squeeze caused by relatively de
clining prices of farm products
and rising prices of farm needs
and labor varies from farm to
farm and has been set forth rath
er fully by those who make a
study of this subject.
In addition to the great problem
of world peace a number of other
matters affecting the future lives
of rural people in South Carolina
deserve careful consideration at
the beginning of this year. May
we suggest a few of them.
With splendid progress being
made in roads, schools, and com
munications what is being done to
maintain community spirit and
pride in farm and roadside beauti
fication, church and burial ground
improvement, and in other local
institutions? How ^fast are we
moving to provide rural tele
phones now so necessary to those
who want to stay in the current
stream of life? With the high
cost of human labor how many
rural people are failing to multi-,
ply the power of their own hands
by using electrical and other
power driven machinery and equip
ment to lessen the drudgery and
do the productive work in their
homes and on their farms?

FISH PONDS CAN
BE FARM REALITY
By MRS. A. H. COUNTS
Newberry County farmers are
learning that a fisherman’s para
dise can be right on his very own
farm and not a pipedream of some
far away place. They have found
that a fish pond with a variety of
fish can become a reality without
too great an expenditure of time
or money.
Already 43 ponds have been
built in the county according to T.
B. Amis, soil technician, with the
Newberry Soil Conservation Ser
vice, who has supervised the con
struction and stocking of the
ponds. Mr. Amis said 64,120 brim
were ordered during the year, but
only 34,020 have been received to
date and they were used in the
stocking of 27 of the ponds. In
addition to the brim on order a
large number of bass have been
ordered for spring delivery.
A few of the ponds were con
structed in 1950, some few were
built in 1951 and the majority
were in 1952. Mr. Amis said the
first ponds built and stocked are
already producing excellent fish
ing for their owners.
The average pond is about one
and a quarter acres. The total 43
ponds in the county cover a total
of around 53 acres. A large num
ber are listed to be built in 1953.
Mr. Amis said fish ponds serve
many purposes for their owners.
They can be used for stock water
ing, fishing, irrigation, fire pro
tection and recreation. Farm fam
ilies need recreation and a fish
pond is hard to beat for that pur
pose, according to Mr. Amis. For
tunate too, he said, is the farmer
who provides his farm with a fish
pond. A fish pond makes for better
living on the farm, A simple acre
of water can be made to yield
from 150 to 450 pans of pan fish
each year. To produce them will
cost only a few cents per pound.
Fish is an important food and is
reported to contribute to the
strength and soundness of the Na
tion’s rural youth, according to
statistics.
CAN CONTAIN LIMIT
A fish pond that is properly
built and fertilized will contain
its limit of fish by the second
year. From then on the more they
are fished, the better the fishing
results, however, In ponds properly
started should provide good fish
ing within a year, according to
Mr. Amis. He also pointed out
that a fish pond must be started
right from the very beginning
and managed properly for best re
sults. It must be deep enough, he
said, and it must be free of pond
weeds and the watershed should
be protected by carrying out
soil conservation measures.
Mr. Amis said fertilizing a fish
pond accomplishes three things; it
increases the food supply for the
fish controls submerged pond
weeds and makes fishing more
successful.
Also important is the control of
waterweeds because they interfere
with fishing and are of no bene
fit to the fish for food or cover.
Clean banks and surroundings ad
jacent to the pond add not only
to the looks of the pond but to
general enjoyment of fishing. It
also helps keep down the undesir
able weeds that Infest many ponds
and also reduces the breeding
places of mosquitoes.
A good site for a pond is also
important. This factor with proper
management offers a rewarding
satisfaction to fish pond owners
in supplying fresh fish at all times
for his table as well as an enjoy
able means of recreation.
