OUR FARM POTENTIAL
About 150 years ago a great
English philosopher thought the
w'orld population must stagnate
soon on account of earth’s inabili
ty to feed and clothe it. He spoke
before the miracles of modern
science came to the land. Earth’s
population has vastly increased,
yet it’s better fed and clothed
now than then.
Nor is this science through, not
by a jugfull.
Just in the past 35 years, since
science really started reaching the
bert Langford of Columbia were
guests last Thursday of Misses
Susie and Mary Langford. The
Misses Langford also had Mrs.
R. H. Banks of North Augusta as
a guest Saturday.

vannah, Ga., and her friend, Miss

far places, the tilled acreage in
this country has not changed. Yet
production is up 70 percent, we
have 62 million more folks, all are
better fed and clothed than before,
*
and we have surpluses of most
things left over!
The eminent agricultural auth
ority, Dr. Firman Bear of Rutgers,
says this country can easily feed
and clothe a billion people, when
the need arises, and do it well.
Yes, that’s with the light we now
have. And, with advancing
science, that picture will improve
with the years.
So, folks, let’s not worry about
hunger and nakedness. At least,
as long as we keep on our toes
here at home. Other parts of the
world need a lot of our know
how. And we have been taking it
to all who would hear. Some of
our hardest hitting county agents
have been used for this. And the
records show they have perform
ed wonders in some of the back
ward parts of the earth, despite
great obstacles.
Yes, the Almighty has been
good to us. Through science many
of the secrets of Nature have been
unlocked. And we live in a land
of growing plenty. But in a world
that’s mostly hungry. The whole
thing doesn’t make much sense.
But we are trying to put some in
it.
BOYS ARE
THAT WAY
By J. M. ELEAZER
In recent years Georgia has ex
perienced the greatest poultry
growth ever seen on earth. Their
broilers far exceed the value of
their cotton crop now. And it’s
still growing fast.
South Carolina is beginning to
share that growth. And we have
dressing plants dotting the state.
One of them alone, the Marshall
Bros, plant at Greenville, is cap
able of dressing more chickens
than were dressed in the whole
state just a few years ago. At
first they had to get most of their
chickens from Georgia. Now most
of ’em come from the Greenville
area.
The production of hatching eggs
for that vast Georgia enterprise
is found jon many a farm across
the river‘here in South Carolina.
Even away down in Williamsburg,
County Agent Jack:son tells me
23 farmers have 34„000 layers pro
ducing hatching eggs for the vast
hatcheries of Georgia. We have a
lot of hatcheries too, but- many of
our growing need for chicks are
still filled south of the border.
4-H TEACHES MANY THINGS
It is not just how to better do
farm and home jobs that 4-H
teaches. It reaches into the fine
cultural thinngs of life too. For
instance, Tillman of Sumter tells
me their Senior 4-H Boys and
Girls recentiy discussed teenage
problems, dfcting, and courtesies
at a series of their meetings. And
Montgomery of Kershaw says all
of their 4-H Clubs had a meeting
where “table manners were dis
cussed and demonstrated.”
Our folks were tight and
stingy with their corn. For it
was the fort of the farm. The
farm with corn was fortified
and could go. But if it gave out
before the new crop came in, it
was a reflection on the man.
We skimped with our corn and
made every grain of it count.
The best ears went for seed and
milling. The next to the work
stock, and finally the nubbins
and damaged ears to the hogs.
The sweepings of shattered
corn and trash from the shuck
ing floor were thrown to the
chickens. They didn’t get much
though and had to scratch and
chase grasshoppers and June
bugs mainly for a living most
of the time.
We didn’t usually shuck much
corn in advance. Had an idea
weevils and rats damaged it
more that way. But occasional
ly a farmer with a good many
hogs and considerable other
stock would give a corn shuck
in’ and shuck up a lot. Those
were enjoyable occasions. There
wad much kidding of any who
didn’t keep their nubbins and
trash cleaned up in front of
them there at the pile.
A feature always was that the
fellow who chucked a red ear
had the privilege of kissing any
girl there. Most of ’em were
bold and went after their re
ward with gusto, despite much
screaming and embarrassment of
the victim. But I was always
too shy and was afraid I’d get a
red ear. So I usually took my
station away from the lantern
in the shadows. And I’d look
carefully as I opened each
shuck. If the corn was red, I’d
slip it back under the pile and a
bit to the side so someone el^se
would get it.
After the shucking was fin
ished, we’d repair to an open
fire on the outside where per
chance there was some square
dancing. But greatest of all for
me was the refreshments. There
was always gingerbread, and
likely apple cider, if it was early
winter.
