It is scheduled to'go to the White House Tuesday at President Roosevelt’s next cabinet meeting.,^ > , The committee "studied the effect of the pip4essing ta:| North-Sbuth wage differentials, exports and imports and other industry problems. Pressure for immediate announce ment of the cotton loan has been brought to bear by a number of South ern senators, including Smith of South Carolina, Bankhead of Alabama, BaU ley of North Carolina, and George of Georgia. The’ Southerners said an early an nouncement was imperative to assure the grOwer a fair price for his cotton i‘ in view of the 1935 crop forecast of nearly 12,000,000 bales. X)n August 9 a hseeting wa^held in the court house at Laurens for tlM purpose of organizing the Laurens County Soil Conservation assoc iati<Hu Twenty-five members joined the sociation on that .day.

Thye association Is organized in or der that the CCC boys labor may be used on the fanns in the camp area. The federal govemipent will not allow federal money to be speM on the in-, dividual farms, but u^n the organi zation of the association the govern ment deals with the farm lands of the camp area as a unit. All the work tiie boys from OCX! camps do on the farm is fiee toUie fanners, but the farmer must join the association, which costs 50 cents. After the land has be^ properly tairaoed hy the govemment- ow:^ praetor, the CCC boys will en ter the farm of those farmers who are meiidiers of the association, construct terrace outlets and water ways, treat ing same and setting trees on badly eroded areas at no expense to th« fanners. The cost of teltacing by ths gov ernment’s tractor is $2.75 an hour for the time the tractor is in operatidm. This includes all expenses of the ma chine, including fuel, trscior driver and bladenvan, instrument man and rodeman. The farmer is required to build up the breaks''of the terrace, us ing the drag pan owhed by the "gov ernment which is free to him. i ■ There is only one tractor unit op erating now, but by fall it is hoped to. have three additional units as the work is growii^ so fast one machine cannot take ea^ of it.
