FARMS AND FOLKS
By J. M. ELEAZER

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.”

Come in and Drive
the Surprise Car of the Year !
if) The word’s getting around fast—the big,
handsome husky you see here is the big surprise
that caught the industry a year or so off balance!
But it didn’t come as any surprise to Pontiac
engineers that they had the year’s performance
sensation.
They knew all along that it would be, because
they started from scratch and designed the most
modem and efficient high-compression, high-
torque V-8 engine in America!
Then they tailored an all-new Strato-Flight
Hydra-Matic* especially for Pontiac’s high-
stepping Strato-Streak power plant—and for
nothing else! The 'blazing action of 227 horses is
yours in a flash with the positive, no-lag action
of gears—plus an amazing liquid coupling for a
smooth, uninterrupted flow of power to the wheels.
Bring yourself up to date—tome in and pilot
the surprise car of the year—you’ll soon see what
the talk’s all about!
And don’t be afraid to ask about price, for
that’s another pleasant surprise-*-the one that
will let you boss the best on the road for a great
deal less than you probably think! *An extra-cost option.
The car says GO and the price won’t stop you!
