The auccees of program depend^on the manner in wjhich those taking ^part in it carries it out . * There will be no contract^ nor the eo-calted Bankhead as' of last year. A farmer will be permitted toigin hll bia cotton without gin tickets' or pay ing* any taxes. There will be no can vassing from house to house to get farmers to join the new program.

For those acrea^ over planted the government will de duct from the fanm^'s eheck the rate per acre benefit for ‘each acre over planted. ^ - In other words a farmer is permitted to plant 30 acres to cot- ttm but he plants 31 acres. Jle will not be permitted to destroy the over planted acre. The government will deduct the benefit payment per acre each separate farm provided the land is not owned by said party. In xitber words a farmer owns a • farm * and rfnts 01^, each farm/ must carnr a separate work sheet but both tvrr/oi grain mixtures, when such nurse crops are pastured or clipped green; mmer legumes, including soybeans, pt when' produced for seed for crushing, velvet beans, crotalaVia,, j i r v i u- nf lae ' from his check and let him keep his and annual-varieties of les- cotton.

If a farmer owns and operates one or mbre farms as a unit only one woric sheet is re quired. All lands operated by^ farm er must be eighed up under an agree ment. A farmer we\will saypbwning three farms will not ba permitted to sign up two and leave the third one out with the skies as the limit to plant all kinds of crops on. Those farmers owning lands in two or more STOCKHOLDERS NOTICE may be increased above the com base history of the farm without any pen alty provided the com is grown for home uses. . Checks cannot be pledged this year, as of la^t year. Each person will get his or her check separately-even the tenant. The tenant will not receive • any payment from the soil building payment though unless he pays for his part of the expenses of the crop whether it is in the form of labor or money^ all land with the ‘state committee. Farms that have been idle since January 1, 1934, are ineligible for any benefits.’ *1 “IThe list of community compiittee- men will be giveimut later and at what place the farmers may sign his work sheet. There are no work sheets received yet for the signing of the new farm program. A series of seven''meetings have been held with fair to good attend- ance. From reliable information and A \ er has carried out his request on the w6rk sheet then hie is'fb sign a grant on which he will receive his benefit payment. In other words before a person receives any checks he must earn it by carrying out his request. This check will be received sometime in the fall. There are two kinds of payments in the new fram program, jiamely: soil conservation payment which is the big payment and the soil building pay ment which is the small payment. A farmer may earn either one of the two or both. The basis on which a farmer may earn the big payment, known as the isoil coneervation pay ment, he will be required to divert at least 20 per cent of his soil deplet- irg crops basis into soil cortoerving or poil Building crops. There are four classes of crops which the government bases the new farm program on. They are: 1. Soil Depleting (irops: Com (including broom com and sweet com). Cotton. ■ /, Irish potatoes. / , Sweet potatoes. Sugar cane. C/Ommercial truck and canning crops, including melons and strawber- riee. ^ forest . V • Peanuts; if harvested as nuts. Grain sorghums, sweet sorghums, and millets. Small grains, harvested for grain or hay, (wheat; oats, barley, rye, and small grain mixtures). ^ Soybeans, if harvested for crushing/ 2. Soil Conserving Crops: Annual winter legumes, including vetch, winter peas, bur and crimson clover; biennial legumes, including Jean Nedra FEATUraS PED ALINE STRAWS for EASTERi 98 Dtliflitfulljr feminin^ wUk thiir flattafing hair adfta. aatfai ribbon gumes.

Forest trees, when planted on crop land in 1936. Neutral classification, (not to be counted in establishing bases): Vineyards, tree fruits, small fruits, or nut trees (not interplanted) Tlf interplahted, such acreage shall carry the classificaiton and. actual acreage of the intercrop grown). idile crop land. (Where, due to un usual weather conditions, crop land wad left idle in 1935, it may be re classified upon the recommendatiop of the state committee and approval of the secretary). Cultivated fallow land, including clean cultivated orchards and vine yards, (Cultivated fallow land may be otherwise classified upon recommen dation of the state committee and approval of the secretary). . Wasteland, roads, lanes, lots, yards, etc. - Woodland, other than that planted at owner’s expimae since 1933. > As to the" soil conserving payment, the big payment after a farmer has converted his 20 per cent of soil de pleted crgp.s acres to soil building crops, he • will receive 5 cents per l>ound on lint cotton from the number of acres taken out of cotton times the adjusted yield per acre, provided the amount of money set asi<le by con gress permits the 5 cents per pound. The regulations state though that un der no condition will the ^ price vary more than ten {ler cent up or down. Those farmers- who'held AAA con tracts may use their ba.se cotton acres (permitted'planted acreage plus rent ed acres) to. base their new form bases on provided the reallocg^n of acreage and lint for the state^nd county are the same that were used last year. This information will be sent from the »tate commiitee in the future. The bases of soi3 buliding payment will he at the rate of $1.00 per acre for the soil building crops. To earn this payment the farmer will be re quired to leave the soil building crop on the soil which will carry a rate of $2.00 per Mere provided the amount of mioney allocated to the state per- mite.such rate per acre. These farm ers who have gr»in planted and leepe- deza planted on saate land may cut .the grain and leepedeza as hay or "need mad stiff/get aoil boildinc bene fit payment, but those farmers who -will foUo^ grun stubble with peas or beans will not be permitted to cut the hay if they -wish to receive eoil building payment although, the faiHn- er may harveet seed either green or ripe and still receive the benefit pay-* ment ^ . —- The maximum reduction of cotton is 35 per cent imovided Lstsrens county and the state doee not average over a 25 per cent reduction. The maxi mum reduction of com acreage is kS per cent. No reduction will be per- "mitted in com acreage though unless the farmer shows he has been aelling com commercially and that he has provided sufficient com acreage to feed all livestock and persons On the farm. The averagq rate of benefits per acre of com for the state is only $6.90 rent per acre. W'ith this low rent pasrment I can hardly see when any farmer can sifford to rent com land. Those farmers who follow the practice of sowing or planting le gumes in com land will be given credit for same. In other words the acreage will count fifty-fifty. As *n exantpie, if a fanner haa ten eefea planted to com srith peas sowed in nkiddias or planted in rows will be permitted to count five acres deplet ed asid five aeiea aoti building crop/ These boUd^ acres ^ com will cMry tha aame aoH boikling rate m Itepedeaa or eowpaaa, velvat beam, following enda otubbio. iif IHfBotb «n4i fa "As to the division of the payments: 'talking to some farmers calling at the 37 1-2 per cent goes to the person/office-the attendance, at the meetings who owns, the land, 12 1-2 per cent to I would have been larger if they had the person owning the stock and tools,! known of the meetings. The question and the remaining SO'per cent to be divided in t)^ proportion the crops are divided between tenant and land lord. Under this condition a share crojiper yod .see will only receive one- lourth of his portion of the check pro vided he paid his part of the soil building payment.. Persons who may sign an agree ment are the same classes as of the old AAA sixers, namely: landlord, cash^ standing, or fixed rent, and managing share tenant. Gash or standing or fixed rent tenants will receive the che.cks and not the land- owner. A work sheet is to be filled out on is often asked the.se farmers—did he see the notices of the farmers* meet ings ip the paper and his reply, “No, I don’t take a county paper.” Some of these people state they are not able to‘pay for same, but the striking thing is that most every one has a cigarette, pipe, or huge chew of to bacco in his mouth — suppose though this is of no expeijee to him. Now the question is smokes and chew, or newspaper. The signing for the bounty or dif ference on the twelve cent cotton does not obligate ^a farmer to anything dealing with 1936 program. This deals with 1935 and that alone. Notice is hereby given that the An nual Meeting of the stockholders of Joanna Metcantiie Company, Gold- ville, S.
