THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1966 THE NEWBERRY SUN. NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROUNA PAGE THREE FAR/VV NOTES January is named for the -ancient Roman God Janus, the <Jod with two faces, one for looking forward, one for ’ook- ing back. We feel that in Jan uary we too, should pause, look back at the progress we have made in our endeavors in the past year and then look ahead to our hopes and dreams of the new year. During the past few years the Agricultural industry as a whole was not up to what we thought it could have been. But have we stopped to take a look around our farm to see just what could have been done to be of a more success? Did I do these things—study the type or types of enterprises I am engaged in? Did I spend en ough time imroving on my farm? Am I using the right practices that my enterprise calls for? Or am I “Using yes terday’s tools today?” Just to cite a few farm enterprises that we thought did pretty good in 1965, for example. Hog prices jumped“Sky High.” Looking back, was I in position to reap some of the benefits in 1965? be favorable and Dairy about the same. So, looking back in 1965 and looking forward into 1966, just what I am going to do on my farm? Am I in the right en terprise? If not, then what en terprise do I enjoy most work ing with? If yes, what could I have done last year that I did not do that by doing will in crease profits this year. What would have helped me? Would good business manage ment practices, keeping accu rate farm records and sound farm planning? Did I use the best possibilities of all my farm resources? Did I follow recom mended production practices and produced the kinds and qualities of farm products in demand? Did I make soil test and fertilized according to rec ommendations? Did I plan my work and use my farm labor efficiently by planning ahead of time? Did I keep my farm machinery and equipment in good condition to do the job at the proper time? Did I SKIMP a little too much by trying to cut cost, on my fertilizers, feeds, pesticides and other im portant items of farm produc tion needed to increase effi ciency and farm profits ? Did I follow good financial management practices through wise investments and proper use of capital ? Did a large portion of my family food supply come from ment farm programs to in creasing income on my farm? Now after thinking through all the “Woulds” and “Did I’s” I am somewhat confused. But one thing you’ll have to realize is that “me” is the only ans wer. Find a way to solve these problems, because this is MY farm, and I will have to be the LKADER in getting these problems solved. Have I looked into 1966 and said to myself that hogs Stand m y farm ? Did I study the op- .a good chance of-remaining at P or ^y n ^ es un< fer the Govern a high price for at least 6 to 8 months. This tells us that getting set up by enlarging our HOG HERD, selective breed ing, proper management will not be a gamble. SOYBEANS was a good pros pect for the past year and the outlook is to remain stable. What did Ido last year with a lot of my idle land and land that was released from the Soil Bank? Will I plant some this year or increase my acreage over last year? COTTON PRODUCTION:— Hive I thought over the New Cotton Program, and made the right decision on my farm and will I take advantage of great er profits by proper insect con trol methods, or will I look back and say that the boll weevils just was uncontrollable last .year and will be again this .year. -Planting cotton is a must, we plant it or sooner or lated we lose it; therefore making the right decisions with careful planning can profit. POULTRY. — Outlook for poultry and poultry products should remain about the same in 1966 as in 1965. The de mand for broiler meat is ex pected to benefit from smaller red meat supplies, especially pork, in the first half of 1966. Nevertheless, during the first half of 1966, production may be so large that broilers prices will average below last year. These lower prices in turn may slow the growth in broiler pro duction late in 1966. Therefore broilers may have to face in creased competition from ex panding red meat production. As a result turkey prices should be favorable by the latter por tion of 1966. VEGETABLE demand will continue at a high level. Irish and Sweet potato supplies will be up, also peanuts. FORESTRY products demand will remain strong. BEEF CATTLE prices will Street paving contract let Awarding of $111,439 con tract for road grading and bit uminous surfacing in Newberry County was announced today by the State Highway Department. This contract was awarded to Highway Surfacing Company of Greenville on the basis of a low bid, according to S. N. Pearman, Chief Highway Com missioner. There were four bids entered ranging from as high as $133,163. Included in this project are 7.3 miles of several secondary roads including streets in the Towns of Whitmire and New berry. Road numbers are S-67, S-800, S-507, S-512, S-513, S- 325, S-480, S-489 and S-350. Brother of local woman dies Roy Franklin Atkins, 75, died Monday at a Gaffney nursing home after two years of declin ing health. Native of Spartan burg County, son of the late J. A. and Christina Alverson At kins, he was a retired farmer ^nd a member of Corinth Bap tist Church. Surviving is a sister, Mrs. J. B. Davenport of Newberry. Funeral services were con ducted Wednesday in Gaffney IT'S A FACT! Small towns as well as larger cities which lie in the storm’s wake have millions of dollars of; damage done. Mosti trouble comes from fal Ing trees which obstru roads and pavements cut telephone wires and alectric lines, and cave in house roof tops. Hurricane" cornet rom the Carib Indian word meaning "big wind.” The high ve-> locity gusts—some-' times up to 186 mph —generally hit coast al areas. The energy released by such a storm in one second is as great as that of sev eral atomic bombs.
