N THE NORMAL course of business we
fail too often to express adequately what
is in our minds and in our hearts.
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.

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
