The total cash income of South Carolina farmers in 1953 was 3 3'4 times more than the average for the 5-year period 1935-39. The cash income from livestock and livestock products was 5 1/3 times greater In 1953, livestock and livestock products accounted for 23 2 3 percent of the cash income. AH the increase in cash income has not been “gravy” to farmers. Farming costs and family living expenses have increased steadily. The present high costs for farming and for family living make the farmers more vulnerable to lower prices for their products. Since reaching an all-time high peak in April 1951, the index of average prices received by South Carolina farmers on March 15, 1954, has declined 22 percent. On the other hand, the index of all farming costs on this date was the same as on April 15, 1951. Despite the relatively higher total farm incomes, the cost-price squeeze continues tight. The reduction in the 1954 cotton acreage will accentuate this situation. In order to meet this problem, farmers should consider adapted alternative crop or livestock enterprises for commercial purposes and for home use. Other possibilities for meet ing the problem are off-farm employment or employment on other farms for the farm operator or for some member or members of his •mily Elect T.

Now it’s mine... all mine! I never knew that I could be so thrilled about owning a home. Now I can tinker and putter ’til my heart’s content. . . because I know that every little thing I do for this house I’m doing for my self. I’ve had my eye on this house . . . and now . . . I OWN IT!” This was part of a recent conversation between two friends as they looked at a certain house. There was no doubt as to who had bought the house. He was still ex tolling the merits of home ownership as w*e walked away, smiling. Known something? This same familiar scene is re peated day after day, but we never tire of it. It always makes us feel good inside to see someone discover for himself the joys of owning a home. Do you own a home?. If not, drop in for a visit.
