It is not lower than lune. 1950 With the know-how to t^rawy year-round pastures and with mers putting in mo*-.- ..c.vagt of* this type- feed every year it will certainly make a more attractive farm income arrangement Our soil and climate is very well suited for dairy'- beef, and poultry farming and 1 believe that 1953 will bring a good pro fit for this type fanning Lumbering and wood products continues to play a large part tn the economic life of Cherokee County We have one plant that is one of the largest manufactur ers of wood pallets in the United States. These pallets are used principally by the armed forces in shipping and storage of sup plies. One plant manufactures some very fine oak flooring and still another manufactures veneers, principally out of poplar trees. The newest plant of this kind manufactures hickory fibers used for industrial sweepers. Thous ands of cords of pulp wood are ; shipped out each year which will be used in the manufacture of paper. MINE OPERATIONS We have several large talc mining operations which are be | irig conducted by excellent com | panics and employ a large niim ( bej- of people. <mo company ls one of the fer eest producers of crayon talc in the United States They also pui venze talc for the textile, oosmet :c. paint, rice, and rubber trades.

N (' TEXTILE PI.ANTS Two new textile plants started operation during 19.52 In Chero kee County Both should keep in production although It is thought textiles will drop somewhat in the second half of 1953 Estimates show that approxi mately 4900 men and 1900 women are now employed in Cherokee County with an average wake In crease of approximately $2.00 per week over 1951.
