NEW FARMING DEAL
The farmers of South Carolina along with other tillers of the soil throughout the country, face new problems in connection with changing conditions and efforts to bring order out of agricultural chaos. Federal relief amounting to many millions is and must be of temporary nature and when that help is no longer available the farmers not then prepared to "go it alone" will be left in a tough spot.
In that respect what Dr. W. W. Long, director of agricultural extension work at Clemson College has to say is especially significant.
The "new deal" in farming, he says, has four outstanding factors: "First, more feeds and foods; second, soil improvement for higher and more economic yields; third, greater attention to quality of products; fourth, more attention to the many phases of sustenance farming and home building."
Those features will mean the difference between success and failure in future farming. The grower who gives heed to them and makes the most of the changed situation will find broader, better living and a greater degree of security and prosperity. Those who refuse to consider them and continue along the same paths that led to so much distress in agriculture will get nowhere and will have only themselves to blame.
