That’s why we are glad at this partic ular time to thank you, not alone for helping us make this year a successful one, but far more important, for making it so pleasant and for working with us in a manner that builds mutual regard and confidence. In sending you our warmest greet ings, we at Carpenter’s express the hope that you, too, have a nice year and that all near and dear to you will enjoy good health and much happiness in the New Year. All of us at, BROILERS The production of no other meat has ever skyrocketed lik© broilers have in recent years. Our neighbor, Georgia, has grown in to the leader in this field. Last year they produced one for every person in this country. And 1 they are still growing. South Carolina too is growing in broilers. Clemson has many helps in the way of bulletins that are free at your county agent’s of fice. And the poultry specialists too are at your command for special services. Efficiency in breeding is paying off with chickens. Just back in 1947 it averaged taking a little over 4 'pounds of feed to make a pound of chicken. Now that fig ure ia down to 3 pounds. And the poultry folks look for that to ul timately approach 2 pounds. Bet ter chfckens and better feeds, these are doing it. REAL COMPETITION Lest year Arizona averaged 1,- 039 pounds of lint cotton per acre, California 806, and New Mexico 743 pounds. We in South Carolina averaged 288 pounds. This year’s estimates are: Ari zona 896, California 775, and New Mexico 627 pounds of lint per acre. Ours is 312. We are not planting our full acreage. They are planting theirs and want more. This means, in figuring future allotments, they will get more and more and we less and less acreage. For it is figured on past planted acreages. They are completely mechan ized, with practically no rain, and a controlled situation with irri gation. Water is their limiting factor. Their average yields would be even higher but for the fact they are planting a lot of margi nal lands where <they do not have enough water. On their better land where they have plenty of water, yields of 3 bales per acre are not uncommon. What loee all of this mean for us? Well it looks like it will take efficient production, on our lands best suited to cotton, and mechanization to stay in the run ning. We can do our part, and then a wet late season comes a- long, as it did at places in the Low- country this year and our prom ising crop takes on a big second growth, bolls rot, and the har vest is blasted. On top of their big yields, that hazard of weather does not hang over their crop. So we can well see we’ve got to be up and hustling to maintain cotton as a great cash crop in this part of the country. A GOOD BUY “Good seed are the cheapest seed,” says E. C., Westbrook of the Georgia Extension Service. Truly, the poorest of economies is the use of poor seed of any sort. For it is in the seed that the power rests to pay off on every thing else that goes into a crop. Cramp your production poten- ial there and the land-, fertiliser, and work can’t, pay off beat And. you know, there is very little- difference in cost, per acre between good planting seed and poor ones. Yet there ft usually a material difference in the yield. Under our Seed Certification organization in South Carolina, good planting seeds are available for practically all crops we grow. They are produced on farms here and there under the close super vision of Bdb Garrison and his assistants. And they are available from these farms and from our various seed dealers. “Blue Tag Seed.” they are tops! Dutch Fork. We liked the freezing rains. For then there were no wires to be [ fouled up. And the ice made every thing so beautiful outside. The pine frees, with their long need les would really take on a burden of ice. And many of them spec ially in the thinner stands and around the edges where they couldn’t tie to each other, would lean over, sometimes until the top would touch the ground. That made a powerful tension on that bent trunk. We delighted to go there with a sharp axe and hit that off side a resounding lick. It would pop like a pistol, and the ice-laden tree crash to the ground, leaving a pile of ice and broken branches. This was great sport, like shoot ing firecrackers, which we seldom had. And there’s no telling how many fine 4 to 8 inch trees we’d thus -destroy in a little while un til the novelty wore off.' Then we’d perchance go further back in the woods to our favorite slid ing hill and havd a round oa the ice-covered ground there. Cutting those trees had one danger. I’ll have to tell you about that next week. Mrs. Derrick Kin Dies ln Columbia Mrs. Lora Hutfstetler Weed, 33 of Broad River Road in the Du^ch Fork section of Richland: county, died last Sunday after noon at the Columbia hospitals She was a sister of Mrs. L. F# Derrick of Neberry. Surviving in addition to Mrs. Derrick are one daughter; one son, one grandson; two sisters and three brothers. aaf BOYS ARE THAT WAY By J. M. ELEAZER Seems we had more snows and cold weather when I was coming up. Here are some of the reasons I say that. Our crude schoolroom was way back in the woods. Our path to it lead by a branch. On most morn ings we walked in it on the ice. Now ,tell me, the water seldom freezes hard enough for that. Several times a winter we had snows and freezing rain. The snow would lie for days and we really hunted rabbits then. Didn’t need any dogs. Now it has been years since they had a snow like that in the Stone Hills of the Mrs. Ramsey Died; Once lived Here 5 , Mrs. Pearson C.. Ramsey of Gastonia, N.
