Carolina Remnant Shop FARMS AND FOLKS By J. M. ELEAZER Clemson Extension Information Specialist THE PRICE SQUEEZE For the past few years the price squeeze has been hurting agricul ture. From early in 1952 to early in 1954, farm assets fell in this coun try 7 percent and farm debts rose about the same amount. Income down and debts up hurts two ways. That gets you “gwine and cornin’,” as the old saying goes. And on top of that, large parts of the country have been afflict ed by crippling droughts, includ ing us here. Yet what the farmer has to buy is still relative ly high. It takes a lot of planning and figuring on the farmer’s part now. He can't change his opera tions for every whim that blows. But he can make use of his pres ent predicament and the outlook and make adjustments here and there that will likely help. Men from Clemson have spent some days at a general farm outlook meeting in Washington. Facts got ten there will be given at outlook meetings that are planned in the counties in January. LOADED GUNS The hunting season is on. And. as usual, hunting accidents have started, too. Many of these tragedies are caused by the gun that wasn't loaded. Other forms of careless ness account for many too. Drink ing, for instance, an abomination anywhere! But surely on a hunt. Now, while we are well and have no jagged holes torn in our bodies, is the time to take stock, resolve to be doubly careful, and avoid bitter heart-achps and re grets that come from avoidable and unnecessary hunting acci dents. The great out-of-doors and hunting have too many joys to be marred by such tragedies. A gun alone isn’t dangerous. It is the human element that makes killers out of them. You and me. CAN YOU BEAT THIS? A friend told me of this actual happening. Four young ladies by the names Crow, Parrot, Dove and. Buzzard were spending the night together. A young man by the name of Stork came to see them. They started not to let him in. * S 1 * " ■ 'S , < IRRIGATED COTTON In the irrigation .experiment at Clemson the past season, irrigat ed cotton mdde a bit over a bale and a half per acre. The unirrigat ed part made a hfldf bale per acre. This full bale increase from irri gation is the widest difference we have gotten here at Clemson. For the yeaVs that this experiment has run, the increase has averaged something over a half bale per acre increase. But, of course, some of those years were not specially dry.

Two years ago it was very dry over there- where .their ex periment was located. They made a half bale pet* acre without irri gation and just shy of two bales per acre where they irrigated it properly. Irrigation costs something, yes. But it costs a lot more not to ir rigate when drought strikes. It is something we pay for, and p^y for more dearly if we don’t have it. Drolght losses in 1954 would have put irrigation on many a farm in this area and had money left. County agents tell me that irri- another step. It takes a lot of wa- gation interest is intense.
