FARMS AND FOLKS
By J. M. ELEAZER
Ciemson Extension Information Specialist
Self-Help In Saluda
A little over a year ago County
Agent Craven of Saluda got his
dairymen together and they talked
artificial insemination. They want
ed it. Money was the problem. So
they put it up themselves, and
started their association.
They hoped to breed 500 cows
their first year. Craven tells me
they actually got 1,013!
So now some of the best bull
service in the country is available
to them through the bull stud
maintained by the Northern Ohio
Breeders Association, a strong
farmers’ cooperative, with whom
they are affiliated, and from whom
they secure frozen semen.
Dairying Is rather new in Salu
da. But Craven tells me their milk
sales already exceed a million dol
lars a year. And from the pastures
and better cattle I see coming
along there, that figure is bound
to grow, and grow rather fast.
Yes, this, and other things, is
what’s happening on Saluda’s vast
acres that have gone from cotton.
A transformation for sure!
Mechanized Silage
County Agent King of Orange
burg tells me George Weathers
has completely mechanized his
whole silage operation. This in
cludes production, harvesting,
storing and feeding the silage.
And J. D. Bates is fully mechaniz
ing his too.
King says, “It is no longer nec
essary to use hand labor in any
phase of their silage program.
Both have more than 175 cows in
their milking herds.”
Just another illustration of how
fewer and fewer farmers are
feeding us better and better.
New Uses For Land
Hampton county has planted
many pines in recent years. And
by keeping fires out, pines have
come to many acres there. This
has developed to the point that
County Agent Thompson reports:
“Farmers in this county are be
ginning to turn away from plant
ing pine trees, and interest in
growing in planting Coastal Ber
muda, sericea, and Bahia on land
to be placed in the Conservation
Reserve Program. It is apparent
that the ‘tree land’ in the economy
is just about planted up and that
the good cropland that is being
placed in the CRP will be planted
to one of the above crops.”
These adjustments of quite re
cent years and the next few ahead
are sure changing the face of ag
riculture here. Wdth a very gener
ous sprinkling of trees and grass,
and all that they imply, among our
friends and orchards and vine
yards, our farming future takes on
a more stable hue than it has had
along in our time.
Irrigation Paid In Cotton
Hoyt Sorrow of Calhoun Falls
irrigated his cotton for the first
time last year, County Agent Bull
tells me. We went out there to
see it last fall. It looked mighty
good. I asked Mr. Sorrow how
much he thought irrigation had
done him. He said, “Well, I nev
er averaged over a bale per acre
before, and you see what’s out
there.” And he’s been using good
methods and weevil control. But
this year he added the clincher, ir
rigation.
It looked like a lot better than
bale per acre cotton then. The fi
nal figures showed he picked 27
bales averaging 508 pounds from
his 14.8 acres. Part of it had to be
planted over. On his 5-acre contest
plot in the old cotton he averaged
1,373 pounds of lint per acre, or
over 2 1-2 bales.
Now, folks, when Isay it looks
like some of our farmers who have
suited lands and who do a good
job, including the use of irrigation
as needed, will compete with the
West and stay in the cotton grow
ing business, I’m thinking of fel
lows like Hoyt Sorrow.
