and this can he accounted for
due to the fact that this plant
not only supplies oil, but the
cattle get a big lift from the
staik and even the land is fer
tilized. The fact that the farm
ers have gone in for diversified
finds broiW* high up on the
list. Even though they are only
gelling 15 cents per pound
now, it Is understood that some
farmers eiiii get a orofit that is
not frowned upon
The broiler industry is rather
I unique and the small farmer—the
j tenant or share cropper—cannot
figure in this process * ery much
The farmer who deals in chickens
i must build his brooder houses and
see that they are well lighted and
heated This writer has of'en won
dered why the chickens must have
so much sight at night Perhaps the
scientists or the smart brooders
! long since found out that if a
chicken was mad* to belrive that
it. is always day that he would
never step to sleep This would
; mean that he would continue to
eat and grow The big idea is to
get him ready for market as soon
as possible It was learned that a
; day old chick can be ready for
market in from six to sev en weeks
if he is attended *o properly This
industry ranks next to soybeans
The brooder makes a contract
with a processer, usually packing
house people, and they supply the
i chicks and the food They have
| the job down so fine now until
| they have automatic feeder sys
tems. where the food is either
blown through in a continous
steam, or syphoened thru, so that
the chick* can continue to eat and
never get hungry, they could get
weary When the flock reaches the
point where he is filled out and
the brooder feels that his time
has come, the truck pulls up to the
j door of the brooder house and he
j is swished away whre h;s bodv is
I prepared for the table He is either
frozen fro a later day consumption
or shipped, in ice to some other
clime, where the packer must vie
j with the smart boys as to how
; much he will get for the pleasing
! meat that six or seven weeks ago
j was only able to make a v *a k

Beef cattle piare seventh in
Scotland County The small
fanner has not been able to
crack this market too much It
is much like the chicken in
dustry. In that the big packing
companies make a deal with
the cattle raiser and in many
instances the cow ha- been
bought even while in the rm
bryonic stage The Negro
farmer in Scotland County still
has the family cow, in many
instances, and his offsprings
can still have fresh milk daily,
hut the time when s yearling
was killed and everybody in
the community got a piece is a
forgotten lore.
Oats rank eighth and Die other
small grain combined, hardly come
I up to the rota! of oats. It.' is be
' lieved that most of the oats are
| consumed in the county. The CAR
i OLINIAiv was not. able to get a
figure on the hogs raised, but
l practically every farm visited had
’ a brood sow and a fresh litter of

j It was interesting to note that
I the 1957 figures revelsed that JO -
| 627 tdns of fertiliser was bought at
I an average price of $55 per ton
| It ss also interesting to note that
I there were only 65.231 one. acres
i cultivated. The fart that soil banks
and tree propogation had put much
j of the land out of cultivation. The
i farm population of the county is

Over Changes: j
/. H. Smith
Alarmed In
\ Scotland
LAURINBURG I H Smith. '
vocational-agriculture dean of
Scotland County, is much alarmed
over the fact that things sre
| changing :n the county. Due to the :
| fact that many of the citizens of .
j the county are fanners, he is dis- ,
| turbed that not too manyfarmers
; have taken to his diversified pro
-1 gram.
He made a survey in 1958 where
he found that the cost of product
ion exceeded the income that came
from the products marketed by
farmers. He attributed this to j
i drought, too much wet weather at
| the wrong time and the Soil Bank.
I He came up with the ides, how- i
j ever, that the farmers should put
| more acreage m cantaloupes, to- j
j matoes and beans He even sug- |
\ gested that they seriously consider
cattle raising, even though it ,
, meant a bigger outlay of capital, j
! It was shown by the survey that
sweet, potatoes might take up some
of the slack. Smith urged the farm- j
ers to seriously consider raising 1
sweet potatoes. He also turned j
to the production of feeder pigs. !
broilers and layers.
He came up with the idea that !
there was a big neea for advertis
| mg the products that were being
I offered. He pointed out that the i
Scotland County farmers had the
products, but needed the market
; The survey ended by relating that
: the tables of American families 1
h*ve to be furnished from the
farms and pointed out that farm
ers would always live if they pro
duced the things that people want
ed most, and he placed food at the
top of the list..
bout the fact that the schools were
turning out a large nuns b e r of
graduates, but that as soon as they
got their education, they hied a- j
way to other climes. He said that
this was even affecting the church j
life of the community. He bemoan- j
?d the .act that they must continue !
to train Sunday School officers j
and church leaders m order to j
take care of the replacements.
There are not too many adult I
farm workers Most of the labor is I
performed by children It is cot i
unusual to see a boy. g or 10 years
old. handling a big tractor, or even ■ j
a combine. Even girls have learned jj
how to manipulate farm maehin- j I
