FARMS AND FOLKS
By J, M. ELEAZER
Clemson Extension information Specialist
LIVESTOCK AND POULTRY
OUTLOOK
It looks like 14 percent more
hogs, 10 percent more broilers, 5
percent more turkeys, 4 percent
more sheep and lambs, 3 percent
more beef cattle, and 3 percent
more laying hens for the coming
year. This is according to surveys
and estimates by the American
Feed Manufacturers Association.
And they bring out there is
ample grain and protein feeds in
sight to finish all of this out.
Most of these increases are
small, sort of in line with popula
tion growth. But the figures for
hogs and broilers are thought to
be a bit high for the welfare of
those industries.
The only declines indicated are
for dairy cows, down 2 percent,
and horses and mules down 4 per-
ment. Improved production from
dairy cattle, due to the fast im
provement brought about by bet
ter feeding and better breeding
through artificial insemination,
will likely more than make up for
slightly less cows.
But that downward trend in
horses and mules is a sustained
one now for a good many years,
since horse and mule power has
been giving way fast to that trac
tor.
The fellow with hogs and broil
ers will need to do a mighty good
job to make money the coming
year.
WILD FLOWERS
“Wild Flowers in South Caro
lina” is the name of Circular 448
just put out by Clemson, written
by Miss Margartt Martin of the
Extension Staff.
This pamphlet, fully illustrated,
will be helpful to anyone wanting
to know more about our common
wild flowers and how to identify
them. County and home agents
have a supply, and they are free
for the asking. On its front is a
color spray of the South Carolina
state flower, the yellow jessamine,
and on it sits a Carolina Wren,
the state bird.

SOYS IN CALHOUN
While with County Agent Cain
of Calhoun in the fall, we rode
through a sea of soybeans. Man,
they had ’em.
I asked him how many. Said
65,000 acres! And that’s a rather
small county. Small in total area,
but not small in farming. For
its fields are vast. You can hardly
see across many of ’em.
And, as we pased John Wanna-
maker’s late, the wintry sun had
set in a lake of fire to the west.
Out there in the field we saw
John, with two hands, still se
lecting, still evaluating the new
soybeans he has coming along.
That man has done a great job
in producing better soys for the
Southeast, and he’s still at it.
^ es, here’s what of late was an
all cotton county. The past year
cotton had dwindled to a mere 7,-
000 acres and corn to 2,000! And
that 65,000 acres of soys means
they had about that much grain,
for they follow it mostly.
So now, the little former cotton
empire of Calhoun has gone large
ly to soys, grain, and grass. I
add grass, for it too is fast being
elevated to the status of a crop
there. And grass means cattle.
Fast soil improvement there,
with all of that rich bean rough-
age turned under. Calhoun was
first with soys in this state, grow
ing out mainly from the work of
John Wannamaker and the inter
est of his neighbors. Now they are
a major crop in many counties.
Down there near the branch I
was very intent on what they
were saying, and still walking
backwards. I did not know of a
small dead - tree that had fallen
across the path the night before.
For we didn’t come that way. It
had lodged about a foot above
ground. As I walked into it, I
tumbled over backwards. Yes, I
really fell all over that ground.
But it was soft and I was tough.
No harm done, except it broke two
rare bird eggs in my pocket that
I had found that morning. That
was a mess. I was just embarrass
ed a bit, as they laughed and
laughed.
Just a bunch of country boys
finding their fun, that’s all. For
there were no playgrounds then,
except the wild woods and coun
tryside as we found it. But that
was enough. And there was never
a dull moment. For fun aplenty
lay out there. All we had w> do
was just go find it. And the con
stant anticipation of the unex
pected made every hill and hollow
a place of adventure.
BOYS ARE THAT WAY
One spring day, before school
closed, a group of us boys emptied
our buckets of lunch quick at the
noon hour and headed down a path
through the woods to throw rocks
at a squirrel nest one of them had
located when he came along that
morning.
Most of the boys were larger
than I. We had to sort of string
out in the path, for there were
briers on each side at places and
we were barefooted. I wanted to
hear what the bigger ones were
saying, but couldn’t very well
tailing it back there behind. So I
got in tront and tried walking
backwards as fast as I could, to
keep out of their way, and so I
could see them and hear what
they were saying. It was just
trivial conversation they were car
rying on. But it was about that
squirrel nest and I wanted to hear
it.
As we scampered along the path,
about 10 of us, the larger boys
with the best arms picked up good
throwing rocks that suited them,
and filled their pockets with their
choice ammunition

tionally one of the deadliest
months of the year, as proved by
Department records, which show
49 deaths during December of last
year.
The Highway Department off
ers these safe walking tips to
shoppers: avoid blocking your vi
sion by overloading your arms
with packages; before crossing
the street, look carefully in all di-
rtctions and be sure you have
plenty of time to reach the other
side safely; cross only at inter
sections, using crosswalks, and
obeying traffic signs and signals
just as you expect drivers to dq;
watch carefully for automobiles
making turns; when waiting for
the bus, stay on the sidewalk un
til the bus stops; when getting off
the bus, wait for the bus to move
on before attempting to cross the
street; and remember reckless
drivers always seem to show up
when you least expect them.
“Enjoy your Christmas shop
ping, but remember one wrong
step can take you from the curb to
the hospital or to the funeral
home, he concluded.
Shoppers Urged
To Walk Safely
The State Highway Department
urges Christmas shoppers to
avoid loading themselves with so
many packages that they block
their vision when crossing the
street.
“Christmas parades and cele
brations daily usher in the Christ
mas shopping season in many
South Carolina cities and towns,”
a Highway Department official
noted, “so don’t become a Decem
ber pedestrian fatality by shop
ping yourself to death.”

G. 1. Homes Are
Up For Sale
G. I. homes acquired by veter
ans Administration are sold in the
same way that houses are usually
sold by individuals through local
real estate brokers, the VA ex
plained today.
Obtained from lenders in con-
nectio.n with claims paid on GI
leans, the houses are sold by the
VA to recover as much of the
Government’s guaranty payment
as possible, Robert L. Edwards,
Acting Loan Guaranty Officer of
the VA Regional Office at Colum
bia, explained.
Sale of these homes may be
financed by the Government on
liberal terms, including low down
payments and long repayment
periods, Mr. Edwards pointed out,
and the purchasers need not be
veterans.
Contrary to a widely-held be
lief, the houses are sold at their
current market value and not on
a “Government surplus” basis, he
emphasized.
In South Carolina, the VA has
sold 609 homes and has some 72
homes now available to prospect
ive buyers.
