C.1202 CaldweU Street FARMS AND FOLKS By J. M. ELEAZER Clemson Extension Information Specialist Hens in Chesterfield Just a few years ago I was with County Agent Willis of Chester field. He was telling me of plans just adopted by their agricultural committee for incorporating the production of eggs in their chang ing farm picture. Since then I’ve told you along of their progress, and it is has been material. Now Willis reports: “Hens be ing kept for eggs on the farms of Chesterfield county passed the 100,000 mark this month.” That was for May. As things like cotton go, other crops come in. This changing ag riculture has sure been fast of late. New crops call for new knowledge and the development of new practical know-how. That’s what makes the county agent of fices such busy places now, and the specialists and bulletins of Clemson in such great demand. Tobacco Money Not much of the money you pay for a pack of cigarettes reaches the farmer’s pocket. Assuming the average pack to cost 22.7 cents. Southern Planter figures it’s divided this way: State and city taxes get 2.8 cents, fed eral taxes 8 cents, manufactur ers get 5 cents, the wholesaler 1.3 cents, retailer 2.5 cents and finally the. farmer gets 3.1 cents for the tobacco that made all of the other payments possible. So, you can see, if the farmer gave the tobacco away, it wouldn’t affect the price of cigarettes much. And, likewise, if what the farmer gets for the tobacco were to go up materially, say 25 per cent, it wouldn’t add as much as a cent to the price of the package of cigarettes. But here, as in many places, the farmer is in the squeeze. Most of those other portions are rather fixed. And his product, the to bacco itself, is about the only one that varies. “Lay-By” Schools All But Gone We used to have “lay-by” schools in the mid-state where I was raised. And they have been common in many communities up to the past year or so. This was specially so in the mid and up state, where farms were small and family labor was used. These schools had to do with cotton al most entirely. By having a summer session of about 6 weeks, during lay-by time, when the children were’nt needed in the cotton patch, they were then available in the late spring to chop and hoe it, and then in the late summer and early fall to pick it. But of late cotton has so gone from the red hills that few if any schools are finding it worth while any more to thus split their terms. And with grass and trees and cattle and grain there is not the exacting need for the children in the fields it once was. So, gone are the “lay-by” schools, great practical institutions of the past. Change, change, the constancy of it! Scout Promotions Troop 1: Tommy Pope, to first class; Marion Crooks, to life scout.
