MR. AND MRS. CLAUDE M. SATTERWHITE and children, William, Wayne and Linda, in front of their new home on the Satterwhite “Balanced Farm” in the Buah River community. Ballentine of Chapin \ young Satterwhite got some more good experience. He found that timber was a valuable crop when properly managed. By selectively PROF.

In all, 11 tracts have been purchased to bring their holdings to 1300 acres. The f way Mr. Satterwhite has handled bis land has been one of the main factors in his success. As each new tract was added, he sized up the land as to its best use for row crops, pastures and timber prodution and set aboujt getting the,land into these uses. Fields selected for crop use were cleaned up, terraced, and seeded to soli improving crops. The low, moist lands were diverted to pas ture while steeper and rougher lands were left in trees. With restrictions on cotton acreage, Mr. Satterwhite ex ^d, corn, entail grain and crop*’ prSduction and added stock to his farm operations, doing this he observed the princL Idea long advocated by Co. Agent Ezell of getting his produce as nearly ready for consumption as possible right on the farm. The livestock program on the farm has been enlarged as the farm feed production increased. In the early forties a few dairy cows were kept and surplus milk sold as Grade C on the Borden milk route. This enterprise has now grown into a Grade A dairy of 35 milking cows that is operat ed with Mr. Batterwhite’s father. Next came hogs to consume the grain being produced. As. more land was developed for pasture and grazing, beef cattle was added. The current farming program of the Satterwhite farm looks like this: About 620 acres of land are used for crops and 680 acres are in managed timber produc tion. Of the 620 acres, 90 acres are in cotton, 150 acres iq corn, and about 300 acres in small grain ftnd grazing crops, 10 acres in al falfa and 70 acres in highly im proved permanent pasture. The. livestock consists of a 50- csw dairy, 17 brood sows, and 50 head of beef cattle. In the balanced program the grain crops are grazed until a- bout March, then nitrogen is ap plied to produce a grain crop. Double cropping is practiced with ps like lespedeza and sweet following the grain crops. «e attention is given to the ection of good seed, reommen- fertilizatlon practices, and ct control. Yields on all crops well above the county aver bubite!*, or oats v per is not uncommon even after ter grazing. Up-to-date man- >ment practices are followed the livestock. ' > The Satterwhite farm has been farmed with tractor-drawn equip htent since 1945. The farm equip* ment includes a diesel tractor, three Farm-all tractors complete with planting and chltivating equipment, two combines, one self-propelled and one pull type, a pick-up hay baler, grain drill, and manure spreader. Machinery sheds and systematic mainten ance conserve the machinery. Sharecropper families and day labor are used in the operation of the farm. The mechanized equip ment on this farm enables the tenants to farm mpre land than formerly and also to do most oi the day labor required by Mr. Satterwhite. This arrangement makes it possible for .the tenant families to have a hlgher-than- average farm income. One tenant family has. been with Mr. Satter white since he started farming as an owner. \ An important part of the Sat terwhite farm operation is their live-at-home program: An abun dant supply of fresh, canned and frozen foods are always on hand to provide nutritious meals for the family. A new 8-room brick home has replaced the small cottage in which the Safcterwhites began their farming career. * ’Hie new home affords all modem conven iences, running water, bathrooms, and modern kitchen. There are adequate closets and ad attic to provide plenty, of storage space for the family. In the yard Mrs. Satterwhite has carried out the landscape theme worked out! by the New berry Home Demonstration agent. The pattern of the flowers and shrubbery plantings make an at tractive setting for the new home. The Satterwhite family consists of Mr. and Mrs. Satterwhite and three children, Linda, Wayne and William. Linda, age IS, is in her fourth year of 4-H.club wprk and Wayne, age\ 10, is completing his first year. William is looking for ward To 4-H club projects in about two years. The Satterwhitea are active i community affairs. Mrs. Satter white has been a member of * the Bush River ^ome Demonstration club since she came to the com munity some 15 years ago. She takes an active part fh church work, being treasurer of the Missionary society and leader of the Sunbeams. Mrs. Satterwhite likes to garden and work with flowers. ... , u i ( " ; Mr. Satterwhite is a deacon in the Bush River Baptist church,, serves on the county farm- loan committee otrfthe Farmers Home Administration, and is a charter member of the Bush River Young •Farmers club Which Was organiz ed iii 1952. Ndwherry County agent Paul B. Ezell says the Satterwhite farm and home is an outstanding ex- ample of progress that can be made by thorough planning, in telligent management and the fol-'* lowing of proven farm and Lome practices over a period of years.
