SOUTH CAROUNA FARMS AND FOLKS By J. M. ELEAZER Clemson Extension Information Specialist SUBSIDIES APLENTY Farm Journal points out that just about every group has its government subsidy. So why should others whine when a lit tle of it comes the farmers way? The, government ownfe sur pluses of manufactured goods larger than its holdings of farm surpluses, mostly military goods. Benefits from their purchase went mostly to industry, labor, and transportation. Each year about two billion dollars worth of this stockpile will be brought out and sold as obsolete or stale at 5 to 7 cents on the dollar of what it cost the government, ac cording to Farm Journal. Nor does the government have to give money or buy goods in order to subsidize. It advances credit, guarantees loans, sets minimum wages, allows tax write offs, and the like. It subsidizes with “public works” when unem ployment appears. It subsidizes foreign nations in billions of eco nomic and military aid. And our Social Security and retirement systems are forms of subsidy, as is our tariff policy. Yes, subsidy is imbedded in* our very American system that is the envy of the world. And I’m not criticising it here. But I’m say ing, the farmer is due some of this consideration too. It was late in reaching him. And unthinking groups cry aloud about it, for getting the similar pap on which they have fattened long. COASTAL PLANTINGS The county agents tell of con tinued progress in planting Coas tal Bermuda. Rogers of Allendale: “A lot more Coastal was planted this spring.” They already had a heap of it. Hubbard of Bamberg: “This year will see our greatest acre age of Coastal sprigged in.” Shelley of Barnwell: “Our acre age of Coastal will be more than doubled this year.” Tate of Jasiper: “More interest than ever in Coastal Bermuda. Plantings this year far ahead of past years.” Bailey of Richland: “Farmers showing keen interest in Coastal Big growth in acreage here.” ,Searson of Saluda: “Several hundred additional acres of Coas tal planted this spring.” All of these agents are in the Aiken district. Elsewhere over the state Coastal interest is sim ilar, according to the agents. BEAUTIFICATION Beautification of homes, schools and churches with native shrubs was a project of many of the Ne gro home demonstration clubs the past winter, according to Mrs. Marion B. Paul, their supervisor. Many plantings were made. And groups of women and girls from the different counties con tinue to cultivate the desire for better things in and around the home by visiting in Demonstra- House in Williamsburg County. FARM CHANGE Change is something I speak of often, farm change here. But all over the Soyth it is the same. From 1945 to 1954 here are a few of ’em in the Sputh: The number of farms dropped from 2,881,135 to 2,316,606. Their size grew from an average of 131.1 acres to 166.8. While the farm population dropped from 12,228,339 to 10,800,000, and hired workers from 1,014,000 to 885,000. The number of mechan ized farms grew in this period from 411,268 to 917,039, or from 14 percent in 1945 to 39.6 per- BOYS ARE THAT WAY By J. M. ELEAZER When I was a kid in the Stone Hills, we were plagued by twP things dreaded, because they had economic angles. One was a chicken eating hog. The other was an egg sucking dog. And, as old-timers said, there was no breaking either from the habit. But we tried. It was usually the old sow that started the devilment in the first case. Both the hogs and the chickens lived on a sort of catch- as-catch-can basis back then. Both had to be rather fast to sur vive. And we felt that the Lord gave the hog a snout to root for its living and the chickens feet to scratch for it with. About all we fed the hogs was the slop from the kitchen. Anci in that was a lot of stuff the chick ens liked too. So it was there in the feed through the old half- starved sow would get her first taste of chicken. Eager to get as much of the slop herself as possible, the old sow, made the hungrier by suck ling her ipigs, would toss her snout and pitch the eager hen out of her way. And eventually she would thus get a taste of blood. After that the jig was up. She’d go in quest of the feather- cent in 1954, according to. The Progressive Farmer. Crops accounted for 64 percent of our income and livestock 39.6 percent in 1945. By 1954 those figures were 60 and 4b respect ively. Tractors on farms of the South grew from 498,332 in 1945 to 1,- 290,825 in 1954. Washing ma chines from 476,660 to 1,200,000, home freezers from 70,000 to 523,243, and farms with running water from 416,090 in 1945 to 1,060,714 in 1964. Rather ^revolutionary change in 9 years, wasn’t it ? And even greater change is indicated in the next 9! I’ve seen consternation hit many a humble home when someone’d yell, “The old sow has a chick en!” Everyone would light out for the lot to try and save the hen. But it seldom worked. For the old docile sow became something else* then. She was a wild thing and ran fast and far, with quarry in her mouth. She seemed to sense there was something wrong in that. Getting her distance^ she’d stop quick, and with a few gouges into that fluttering feath ery mass, in no time at all only feathers were left. After that, there was nothing to do but pen her up. For you couldn’t or wouldn’t think of penning the chickens up. They had to run grasshoppers for a living. So we’d make a rail pen, and cover it over with rails so small we thought a chicken couldn’t get in. But after we slopped the hog, you’d be sur prised how those hungry chickens could wedge through. And the- dumb things never sensed the danger. Or maybe hunger drove them to it. But you couldn’t shut them out. And the upshot of it was, we’d have to butcher the old sow. And we’d do it soon. For folks always said “you can’t fatten a chicken eating’ hog.” PRINTING: The Sun la well equip ped to handle all your printing orders.
