1 REMEMBER
BY THE OLD TIMERS
From Mrs. John Pluck, Blairs-
ville, Pennsylvania: I remember
when grandfather would have a
field of wheat to cut by July 4 the
other farmers would come and help
all day. The wives would help
grandmother cook the big dinner
and supper and she would always
try to have new potatoes from her
garden and young chickens. -And
in the evpning they would dance in
the bam.
From Mrs. Katie Cooper, Okmul
gee, Oklahoma: I remember when
my mother sheared the sheep,
washing the wool, and sent it to
the cording mill to be corded. Then
she would spin the thread to make
blankets. gloves. jackets and
sweaters for the entire family.
From Mrs. G. E. Alkise, Long
Beach, Calif.: I remember when
our folks made vinegar by putting
water and a piece of brown paper
in an empty keg and keeping it
warm back of the stove. The
brown paper made a jelly like sub
stance called “mother” that made
the vinegar.
From Mrs. Frank Steffen, Bow-
bells, North Dakota: I remember
when we lived in Minnesota. I was
15-years-old and my sister seven
teen. Our brothers hired us to
plow for them so they could get a
job on a threshing machine. I
plowed with a Sulky plow and sis
ter with a gang plow. We earned
five dollars with which we bought
some cloth and made our fall out
fits.

(By J. B. EARLE)
Water is a universal need. Man
can live longer without food than
without water. Have we stopped
to think what it means when we
see water loaded with soil flow
ing over our land and in our
streams?
In crop production from 350 to
700 pounds of water are required for
each pound of dry plant tissue *pro-
duced.. If all the water needed to
produce a 4 ton crop of alfalfa
hay was on top of the ground at
one time it would be 24 inches
deep. Water one inch deep over an
acre amounts to 27,154 gallons.
Thus we see that 651,696 gallons
are required to produce 4 tons of
alfalfa hay.
.To produce one bushel of corn
requires 4,725 gallons of water. In
the production of 100 bushels on
an acre, the amount of water
transpired is equal to a layer
about sixteen Inches deep over
the whole acre.
About 1300 gallons of water are
required to produce one pound of
steak. 37 gallons of water go into
the crops for one slice of bread
and 14 gallons of water into a
helping of potatoes.
Every year some farmers lose
money because of drough. Most
areas that have droughs some sea
sons get more water than is need
ed during the other seasons. Then
excess runoff, soil erosion, and
floods damage the crops and the
land.
Thousands of farmers cooperat
ing with soil conservation dis
trlcts in this county have found
that a well-planned soil and water
conservation program properly ap
plied to the land helped them de
crease or prevent damage from
drouth.
In South Carolina a total of 3,
571 farm ponds have been built
by District cooperators. In
terest is increasing as indicated
by the number of ponds built dur
ing 1952. About one-third of the
total, 1067, were built last year
Farmers have learned to use grass,
stubble mulching, contour cultiva
tion and other conservation mea
sures to stop as much water as
they can where it falls and store
an aiVitional amount in farm
ponds.
At the Soil Conservation Ser
vice Experiment Station at Wat
kinsville, Georgia, with a 50 Inch
rainfall 21 per cent ran off when
cotton was grown continuously on
Class III land as compared to 9
per cent when a three-year rota-
j tion of cotton, small grain,, and
lespedeza was followed. At this
Station run-off from sericea les
pedeza was only 7 per cent.
When water is saved, soil and
fertilizer are saved. When water
runs off, soil is washed away.
Water—a provision of nature,
is a necessity of life. Though the
average person drinks less than
half a gallon of liquid in the
course of a day, the daily per
capita use of water for domestic
and industrial purposes in the
United States is over a thou
sand gallons. We need to be
come concerned about water con
servation and management before
our reservoirs get low or floods
come. As population and national
defense needs increase, the strain
on the country’s resources will in
crease, and steps must be taken
to conserve water, our most fund
amental resource, and to use it
more wisely.
Livestock Needs Water—Farm
ponds provide a year-round source
of water for livestock and produce
fish for food and fun. Milking
cows need four pounds of fresh
water for each pound of milk pro
duced. Free access to water at all
times is essential for high pro
duction of livestock. Water makes
up over 60 per cent by weight of
a calf’s body. A horse needs ten
to twelve gallons daily, a beef
cow drinks about ten gallons daily,
a 175 pound hog consumes 1%
gallons daily, and 1,000 turkeys
require 260 gallons daily. Water
conservation and soil conserva
tion are both needed to safeguard
us from future want. SCS tech
nicians help farmers with farm
ponds and other conservation mea
sures needed to put each acre to
its proper use and treat each acre
according to its needs. Farm
ponds make the best use of some
acres.
Industry requires great amounts
of water. To process 1 ton of
bleached paper pulp requires 53,-
000 gallons, to bleach 1 ton of
cotton goods requires 60,000 to
80,000 gallons. 1 ton of steel re
quires 65,000 gallons of water
for processing. 260 gallons are re
quired in preparing the wool for
a man’s suit of clothing and 1
pound of rayon requires 1,000 gal
lons.
From 1929-1952 the South im
proved its income from manufact
uring at a rate 50 per cent faster
than that of the other 32 states
according to an editorial in the
Greenville News on June 30, 1952.
The gain in the South during
that period was 5.16 times.
So we see erosion affects every
day. The solution is to conserve
soil and water by treating water
sheds from the top, to begin with,
and continue down stream until
entire watersheds are protected.
Water should be stopped, in so far
as possible, where it falls.
We have taken soil and water
for grafted. We can no longer
afford to take a short sighted
view of the problem of erosion
and run-off water. Each year our
population increase is equal to
another state of South Carolina.
We need to look upstream and
work downstream to anchor our
soil with vegetation and other
conservation measures, to con
serve our soil, and safeguard our
future.
