Home Milling and Diversification Boost South Carolina Farms
The piece notes small hand mills cost around 3 dollars and larger mills with a motor 10 to 12 dollars. It argues home grinding lowers cereal costs to under two cents a pound and highlights nutrition from less refined grains. It also cites broad shifts in South Carolina farming toward diversified crops, more livestock, dairying, and home butter churning, led by Watkins. In New York, civil defense courses are prepared by the Civil Service Commission for municipal workers on wartime protection.
