AND FOLKS

“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• old grasshopper turkey has been
replaced by a tender, meaty bird.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.
