THE CAROLINIAN
Farm Families
Adjusting To
Allotments
WASHINGTON, D, C.~~ I "Tight,-
i acreage allotments are separa
;ing the men from the boys,” Mm
-1.-sippi State Extension Leader
Vv K. Ammons said to me recently
when 1 was in his State as he ex- 1
phnnod how some farmers are ad- ;
iasting to their smaller cotton a- |
cre age allolmenls, while others are j
giving up and moving to town.
Tins summarizes what I saw
during a two-week tour of j
some of the farming areas of j
Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi,
,md South Carolina. Some of j
the farmers v ere prospring.
Others had gone, and the run
drwn houses la which they
u-vd to live stood empty or
substituted for baro* and bul
ged with hay.
Altogether the Extension Ser
:v@ workers took me to visit 24 i
..;.r;iU»'s. Most of these are not ,
by reduced acreage allot- j
uests of cotton and tobacco. Cot- j
:r, a allotments have been reduced j
tour million acres since 1054.
1 found these farmers making
for uiwr smaller acreage by m
c, cosing their yields and stepping
t heir production of livestock, j
p ciltry, and truck crops.
;-oroe «f them are farming
a, y , level of efficiency 1 am
sure they never thought possi
ble. Where they used to ph>w
and plant and chop two seres
tor every bade bf cotton they
harvested, they now get Iron*
a hale to a, bale and a half
I one - ere.. - • i
Where some used to be satisfied;
.•a is or 2u pashels of corn per j
, they now average 50 to 60 |
.iud sometimes get nearly 100. |
Actually, tire increased produc- j
: r- of feed crops is the basic fact J
ovi: i uc- the if rapid shift from cot*
t-r. to livestock as one of their
£.. ,in methods of adjustment In
!..:i of fighting grass the way
■ hey used to do, most farmers are
now pampering it in an effort to
u. velop more and more acres of
improved pastures for their cat*
i tie and hogs.
And instead of being con
tented with a few runty pigs
that root most of their food
out of the earth beside empty
corn cribs, farmers new grow
acres and a cues of hybrid com
for their grade and purebred
swine to hog off (or eat off !
i the stalk in the field) in a
Seeding practice which i* pay
ing off tn earlier marketings
of meatier hogs.
For example. Mr. and Mr*. Dol
ans Jones of Caldwell, Texas,
so had only on* hog snd no cow*
( few year s: ago, sold $853 worth of
s and $4,100 worth of beef o»t*
i j"' last year. Their hogs at* si*
. ~. * of com in the field.
In Union town, Ala., Mr. snd. Mrs.
Arthur Swain are getting almost
.... much cotton off five sores a*
any used to get oft 10. In addi*
non, they now have a mail dairy
herd of 15 grazing in axeallant
I Dutch clover and lespedez-a.
Tha three Jerseys and five
Guernseys now being milked ai*
producing more than 30 gallon*
of milk a day which bring the
owains a semi-monthly milk pisnt
.in ck of more than SIOO.
Down In Quincy, Fla.
and Mrs. Willie Forahmr are
out worried about their tobacco
allotment of a little over an *»
rrc, because they are making a,
good living off smoked wui*-
i„-c- They butcher from three
to 10 hogs every week *nd
n r lad them into «**•»#• which
they put into casing* and
smoke. Nineteen Mores tat
town handle their product*.
Mr. and Mrs. Johnnie Sirr.mon*
■, xin, Ga., put their eight-acre
cotton tiliotment into the Soil
flank this year snd turned their
!,,il attention to truck crop*. Mr.
carries o small truckload
f vegetables to Thomatvill# or
i Valdosta twice a week and comae
i home with from S3O to $l5O la hi*
