Guilford County Farmer Gets
Mucli Out Of Small Acreage
GREENSBORO
Farmers with small acre
ages may get lot of hope from
the experience of Mr. and
Mrs. W. T. Bigelow, Guilford
County, who have gone a long
way towards findmg a solu
tion to the small farm prob
lem.
Recent studies in the coun
ty reveal that t^e average Ne
gro farm is just a little more
Uian 42 acres, but the Bige
lows have only 21 acres, less
than one-half of the county
average. Leading farm eco
nomists maintain that a farm
of less than 200 acres is like
ly to be improfitable under
modei:n agricultural stand
ards.
The Bigelows, with rugged de
termination, have refused to face
defeat with their space limita
tion. They have taken what they
have tp get the most out of it.
They have not only made a liv
ing out of the small farm lor
themselves and nine children,
but one has completed college,
two others have entered. Their
children are their greatest joy.
“We want to give them oppor-
tufiity to succeed,” they say.
Careful planning and manage
ment have been the secret of
their success, in spite of these
almost insurmountable odds.
With the excepion of the space
occupied by their modest home,
pne or two out-buildings and
small yards, back and front,
about every foot of the land is
put to productive use. Several of
the acres have been used to pro
duce as many as three crops per
year.
Bigelow is quick tp admit that
they all had to hustle to accom
plish what many would call im
possible. They worked out a sys
tem of farming and arrived at a
list of crops which would fit their
farm.
He reduced bis workstock. to
one able animal which allowed
a reduction in feed cost, labor
and space necessary for the ani
mal. He turned his emphasis to
touck crops rather than general
farming, concentrating on small
crops for market and home use.
These included: sweet pota
toes, strawberries, peaches, com,
lima and string beans and wa
termelons. So that he might hold
his potatoes on the "high mar
ket,” the Bigelows have con
structed an excellent storage
facility.
To further reduce his labor re
quirements, Bigelow follows
clean cultivation practices. One
such example is that he seeds his
tobacco bed vi’ith a hay crop for
the future which also keeps
weeds under control. Just as
he harvests the tails crops, be
tween row crops are well on the
way to development.
The Bigelows follow the
practice of sharing the crop re
turns, over prodution costs, with
famUy members.
Here is how the Bigelows
used their 21-acres during the
past year; com, 6; tobacco, 2.9;
wheat, 2; lespedzea, 2; jvater-
melons, 1; sweet potatoes 1;
sweet corn, % and strawberries,
V4. They have 45 peach trees, 2
hogs, and 45 chickens for home
use.
The Bigelows sought and have
followed the advice from the
various agricultiu:al agencies in
the state. He gives much pf the
credit for his success for the
splendid cooperation he has re
ceived from:,Mr. and Mrs. W. A.
Goldsborough, local teachers of
Vocational Agriculture and
Home Economics, respectively;
Mrs. Rosa T. Winchester, home
agent and B. A. Hall, farm agent,
both, with the N. C. Extension
Service.

of the kind of policeman i
town ever neds. He also serves
as a warning to any towns
which have policemen with re
cords for killing and lawbreak-
ing. Such men may seem to be
protecting the towns from
rough elements. They remain a
threat to all decent people and
law-abiding people, too. It
would be safer to keep a rattle
snake in the city hall.
