FARMS AND FOLKS
By J. M. ELEAZER
Ciemson Extension Information Specialist
Pulp wood Harvest
Pulpwood is getting to be
quite a crop in South Carolina.
I can well remember when young
pines were just considered im
pediments on the land, holding
grazing down or keeping us
from easily putting it back to
the plow. But not so now.
We are beginning to farm our
woodlands, and each winter we
plant millions of trees where
none were. County agents and
other ag workers assemble or
ders for seedlings and sent them
to the state forestry department
for handling. Despite the many
millions of seedlings they pro
duce, they haven't been able to
fill all orders fully in recent
years.
In 1958 a total of 1,592,643
cords of pulpwood were market
ed in the state. And in addition,
the equivalent of 155,157 cords
of chips, salvaged from former
wastes, went to the paper mills.
This makes a total of 1,747,800
cords of wood. Multiply this by
$15 and you can see pulpwood
has become a major source of
farm income. And our foresters
tell me we are now growing tim
ber faster than we are cutting
it. Fairfield furnished the most
pulpwood last year, 100,054
cords. And Georgetown was a
close second with 99,680 cords.
They w’ere followed by Newberry
with 76,139, Colleton with 67,321,
Kershaw with 66,714, and so on
down to Calhoun with 9,349
cords. The latter county, of course
is mostly in cultivation.
fires are man made.
Brucellosis Eradication
Yes, complete brucellosis erad
ication is the final aim of the
campaign of cattle testing now
underway by the Ciemson Live
stock Sanitary Department and
USDA. Its director, Dr. W. R.
Carter, tells me it is well under
way and well over half the coun
ties have now attained the “Mod
ified Certification” status. Local
veterinarians participate in this
big undertaking.
Farm Services At Estill
The little town of Estill, down
in Hampton, is surrounded with
good land, good farmers, and a
diversified agriculture. They were
once mostly all cotton, too. And
they still grow some cotton. But
they have pioneered not only m
diversification but in providing
the services that a diverse agri
culture needs.
For several years they have
had well over a million bushel
central grain cleaning, drying,
and storage facility there. And
now County Agent Thompson tells
me they have the first commer
cial grass dehydrating and pel
leting set-up in the state, a
$200,000 outfit. The first work
along this line in the state was
done on a pilot plant at Ciemson,
where the practice proved prac
tical for Coastal Bermuda and
lespedeza and screcia. And th°n
at the Edisto Station they put
in a sman commercial plant t*
produce grass pellets and meal
-or extensive feeding tests with
li’-estock.
These developments will be
watched with interest. Without

dehydration, we can even cut it
in the rain, if we have to, and
cure it at its nutritional best. In

S. C. PAYSINGER,
Agent
Last week we went through the
firing of the pots and the killing
of the hog on butcher day when
I was a kid.
The first faint tints of dawn
were beginning to kindle in the
east. And we kids stood close to
the roaring fire that by then
had the water in the great pots
boiling for the scald. They pull
ed the fire away from one side
of the pots and proceeded to dip
the smoking water up and pour
it into a tilted barrel that was
partly in the ground and leaning
against a piece of cord wood on
its side.
When it had enough water in
it, they threw a batch of hard-
yvood ashes in. That helped clean
the hog that was then slipped in-
'• to the barrel. Two feet stuck out,
and with them the men turned
the scalding hog a time or two.
Every now and then they would
pull it out part of the way and
grab a hank of hair to see if it
had scalded enough. Too much
scalding would “set” the hair,
they said. So they wanted to get
it just right.
Then they pulled the hog out
I on a bed of old rails to keep it
off the ground. Everyone grabbed
for the tail,, as the hair slipped
off it so easy. Then all lit in to
scraping. When that end was
fairly clean, they raised the hog
up, slipped the other end in the
scalding barrel, and the process
was repeated.
After scraping the hair off,
the hog assumed snowy white
ness. Then the two strongest men
locked arms under it, while others
held the upturned feet at both
ends. In this way the carried it
to the old apple tree, where the

the ligaments in the back of the
hind legs, was slipped over a
limb of the tree. There the hog
hung, head down. Hot water was
poured over it and it was scraped
with a razor-sharp knife to get
any remaining stray hair.
All of this was done by the re
flected light from the open fire.
