Hard Work And Enthusiasm
Help Waldrocp Family
By RAY HEMPHILL
(Macon Supervisor I
Enthusiasm, hard work, and
"stick-to-it-tiveness," with Farmers
Home Administration assistance,
has taken a Macon County family
a long way toward successful poul
try farming. This is the C. Robert
Waldroop family of Franklin,
Route 1.
Prior to 1949, Mr. Waldroop was
engaged in public work. He wasn't
too happy with this work and
didn't find it too financially suc
cessful. He owned a small farm
on Route 1 and decided to try
his hand at the poultry business.
With about 120 chickens, the Wai
droop family was on the way. The
first years were hard sledding. Dis
couraged, but not defeated, Mr.
Waldroop looked around for some
way to enlarge his enterprise so
as to increase his income.
Contacts Agency
In 1953, Mr. Waldroop contacted
the Farmers Home Administration,
which is an agency set up to help
eligible operators of family-type
farms get ahead through better
farming. FHA funds were advanc
ed to purchase equipment, feed,
and baby chicks. With the advice
of the county supervisor, Mr. and
Mrs. Waldroop made a plan for
the development of their poultry
business, other farm sidelines, and
betterment of family living con
ditions. A plan was made for the
first year and a long-time plan
for the next five years.
After three years with the pro
gram, the Waldroops now boast a
recently completed poultry house
for 1,500 hens, bringing the total
carrying capacity of their houses
to 2,300 hens. The buildings are
modernly equipped. Their old farm
house has been remodeled and is
now an up-to-date three-bedroom
house. A cement egg storage room
was built in the basement. A 20
foot freezer was bought. The kitch
en was equipped with modern cabi
nets and an electric stove.
Has Beef Cows
In addition to the poultry busi
ness, Mr. and Mrs. Waldroop keep
about five beef cows, from which
he sells veal calves. A half acre
of strawberries provides a good
profit in the spring months and
a well-kept garden in plentiful
supply of fresh vegetables.
Mrs. Waldroop is a most im
portant person in this farming
enterprise. Her enthusiasm and
?work have been a determining
factor in the family's success. She
not only helps with the chickens
and eggs, but al&o works in the
garden and keepsHhe freezer and
cans filled with a good, well bal
anced supply of food. At sewin?
and remodeling clothing for her
self and two daughters. Mrs. Wal
droop is excellent. The clothing
worn by Mary Jo, 13, and Eliza
beth Ann, 6. demonstrate her abil
ity. Evidence of Mfs. Waldroop's
industry is seen throughout the
house in attractive curtains and
furnishings.
Ronnie, 11. as well as the girls,
helps with the chickens and other
farm and home work. The entire
family goes to Carson Chapel
Church and is active in commun
ity affairs. <_?>?
