There’s a long story behind the liquor referendum. In the 1939 legis lature, senate “drys” introduced a county option bill but the “wets,” seeking to head off the proposal, suc ceeded in amending the measure to provide for the advisory referendum in the 1940 Democratic primary. The general idea at the time was that the “drys” would not accept the amendment, but they fell in with the new proposal and sent it to the house. Not until this year, however, did the-bdl. finally pass, and thcsi only after the senate accepted house amendments which added provisions for the voters also to be asked if they favored legal beer and wine and if they would be willing to see new taxes levied to replace the revenue that would be lost if state prohibition returned. The “drys” in the state charged that the house amendments were de subject to the result of the Demo-'president of the Burliiigton railroad;[signed to confuse the i^ue, but rath i-jatic primary. J. H.

Clemson, June 9.—“The present is a most opportune time^ to promote better farm living in South Carolina as an important factor in the pro gram of balanced prosperity In the South adopted by the Southern Governors’ conference to make the next JO years ‘A Decade of Prog ress,”’ says Director‘D. W. Watkins of the extension service. “Under the regulations of the Ag ricultural Adjustment adtaiinistra- tion, the restricted acreage of the major cash crops offers an o{mor- tunity for the production of more food and feed crops to be consumed on the farm. I “Furthermore, the low prices of farm products in relation to the prices farmers must pay for pur chased goods should induce more in terest in the home production of food and feed. In fact, with thousands of farm families it is a question of producing food 'and feed or going without. J “The problem of better farm liv ing lies chiefly among the farmers who are below average as to income,” Mr. Watkins continues. “If it is to be solved, this group should be reached effectively with a simple plan that is practicable for them and that also will enlist the cooperaticm of the leading farm pecmie. “While the extension service has always stressed the ^ value ol a live- at-home plan of farming, we believe that the cooperative efforts of the various state and federal agencies, business and other groups, and indi viduals, centered on better farm liv ing will result in more rapid progress along this line.” It is proposed to further stimulate better farm living jorogram by en couraging all farmers,'’including ten ants and sharecroppers, to grow at least 75 per c^nt of their food needs and to award certificates of recogni-1 tion each year to all who do. The plan should be helpful to landlords as well as to tenants and share croppers. k Movies On Heakh Made Aviulable Sound motion pkturts on maternal an-i child heaKh subjects are being offered to the public by kie mater nal and child health division, of the South Carolina state board of health through the cooperation and aasist- ance of local county health depart ments.

Henry Ford says would abolish the 40-day limitation that he can, turn out 1,000 planes a day after six months’ time to tooi up. The ohe sure thing is that we are going to be building planes faster than they have ever been built be fore. The president has asked congress to appropriate another billion dollars for preparedness in addition to the billion and a third which has already been vited. It seems certain he will get it. It also seems certain that some heavy new taxes will be voted, perhaps at a special sessiim to be held after the November* electitm. If it wasn’t an election year, congress probably would stay in continuous session. One thing adiich holds up pro gress in getting ready for war is the law which requires aB cowtracts for and.navy simpiies to be kt lo the lowest bidder.
