THURSDAY, JANUARY 2, 1968 THE ttmrnmmmmm r AND FOLKS By J. M. ELEAZER CI«m«on Ext«nslo«i Information tpoolallot “CHICKEN CHANGE” “Chicken Change” has been tued to mean small stuff, just little money, like you’d ordinarily ..get from a few eggs or a chick pea or two. _ Well, we used to sell ‘em that way. At home in the Dutch Fork, where I was raised, we seldom went to the village store for any thing that we didn’t take a bask et of eggs or a few chickens to pay for it with. But “Chicken Change” has new meaning now. The hen has given way to the incubator and the • old grasshopper turkey has been replaced by a tender, meaty bird. Quality and efficiency have taken over and poultry looms large in our farm income. Would you believe it, in South Carolina poultry brings in more than our hogs and cattle put to gether. They bring 50 percent more than all of our dairying. And eggs alone bring in about the same as our hogs, and more than our cattle and calves. “Chicken Change”, yes. But when you say that now, you are talking about big money. It has’nt been long since dressed chickens and turkeys were not a- vailable. When the housewife wanted one, she got it alive and had to dress it. Not so now. Even the crossroads store has electricity, .and with that came refrigeration. And you get your birds there, dres sed for the pan or oven. Yes, dressing poultry used to he a chore every housewife knew and practiced well. But of late it has become a lost art for all but a few of the old-timers. And you had as lief give the average person who wanted lumber a log as the housewife who wanted a chicken or turkey one with life still in it. Change, change, the constancy of it! The Sears-Roebuck chain through 4-H has put good chick ens on many a farm. Dressing plants have sprupg up over the state, and many ready markets promote an industry. Clemson has many helps in the form of poultry bulletins and pam phlets, and where poultry prob lems arise the poultry specialists and veterinary service are avail able to come in' and help. With better management and improved breeding, the efficiency of the broiler in using feed has been greatly advanced. Same for tur keys. So the feathered kind promise to figure more aid more in feed ing u« better and better. FARM FORESTRY In County Agent Garvin’s office in Greenwood I ran up on their efficient forest ranger, James C. Smith, aagin. That was back in Pctober. He was very busy super vising the harvesting of pine cones over the county. He got 4-H club members end others to gather them then, where logging operat ions were under way. Last year was a bad seed year; so this year they had used up their reserve seed supply, he said. Pines are that way, and when there is good seed year, like this one, they try to lay in a reserve supply too. They were gathering principally loblollly seed there in Greenwood, longleaf farther down state. He said very few shortleaf were being used any more, as they are subject to a severe dis ease that the other pines are not. The state was paying $1.50 per bushel for the seed-filled cones of loblolly and slash, and $5 for the few shortleaf ones needed. The latter are a lot smaller, there fore the price difference. Garvin said they had orders in hand for over a million pine seed lings for delivery in December. Smith said they had filled all of the vacant tenant houses and other storage space they had, and he was looking for more. Later, when the cones and seed dr; out, the seed will be taken from the cones and safely stored until planting time next spring. SCREW WORMS WILL BE REMEMBERED The year 1957 will be remember ed by livestockmen as the bad one for screwworms. And frost was never more welcome, for it puts an end to them for the year. I was talking to Joe Brogdon, old star 4-H club boy of Sumter, now their artificial breeding tech nician there and local dairyman. He said he had 13 calves dropped this fall. All 13 became infested with screwworms. And so it was with cattlemen and other live stock growers. They had to see their stock almost daily to catch the infestations and avoid losses. I understand this same thing played havoc with game, princip ally deer. A bold project is being- launched in the Florida peninsular to eradicate them. They winter there and advance on up this way with the season. They got here early this time and did great damage. The eradication approach is the most fascinating one. It has to- do with desexing millions of males and turning them loose over the area. Eggs from their breeding will not hatch. BOOKMOBILE Thursday, January 2nd: Mt.
