[QUOTE="hurleyjd, post: 1351106, member: 4674"] There was no food stamps back in the fifties only commodities cheese butter rice and any other commodities the government bought to keep some farmer in business and lessen the hurt. We eat a lot of oatmeal, black eyed peas. corn and sweet potatoes in about any way they could be cooked. No use going to the frig for a late night snack, nothing there. You could sell eggs to the local grocery that kept enough money coming in to buy staples. My father started growing and selling watermelons about 1952. Buyers from Chicago and New York buying. This got us on our feet pretty well. 1953 my father closed the books at the end of watermelon season with a little over $11000 in the bank. He bought Mom a new car for $1100. Then he built a double four flat dairy barn to sell grade A milk. And as George Jefferson would say we were moving on up. [/QUOTE]
