COMMENTS ON MEN AND THINGS By Spectator ^ People who live on farms and in rural towns constitute 40 per cent' of the entire population of the United States. In 1938 farm production in the United States was 4 per cent above the 1924-29 level, todustrial production was 20 per-cent below it. Taking into account the decline in prices that Ihiited States farm ers paid for commodities, tbdy were able to buy wi^ tbeir 1038 income more than 90 per cent as much as they could with their 1929 income. In 1938, the^ acreage of the United States farm land planted to soil-de pleting crops was about 23 million acres less than the average for the preceding, ten years. Of these 23 million acres a considerable part was planted to soil-building crops. The number of farms served by electric light and power companies i nthe United States increased 98 per cent during the 1932-38 period— from about 710,000 to more than 1,- 400,000 farms. Equipment for making cot^n mat tresses hM been set up, and 800 ap plications have been received, it was stated yesterday by C. B; CanoM, county agent.'Eligible to receive mat tresses are farm fajnilies whoee grpes income was $400.00 or less last year, the major portion of' which came from agricuHure.

Herman Power that gives a clear proof of the effects of agri cultural limestone. The crimson clover was sodded in the fall of 1938 on small grain. A portion of the field was seeded by volunteer stand for 1939. On one portion the clover was limed at the rate of 2000 pounds of limestone per acre. The other portion had no lime at all applied. Where lime was used' according to the check, the record show's 8267 j pounds of green material per acre as left over at the end of the day.. The molasses will sour if kept longer and will cause a burning effect on the cotton plants. A|H>ly the mixture with a mop made by tying burlap oir cloth to a three foot stick. Apply five to seven days apart. Each time you dip the mop into the bucket of mixture stir it well, otherw^e the arsenate will settle and you will be applying only molasses and water. Hold the mop so as to apply poison to the under side of the leaves as much as possible. There were several Hundred gal lons of molasses used in Laurens county last year in sweet poispn with good results. Cannon pointed out. yards of ticking to a farm family in the eligible class for a mattress. The family receiving the mattress will be required to help with ttie labor in making the mattress. Cotton from the government is ex pected immediately, and i^ces will be maiiad to elJ^le persbns as to when their mattresses are to be made. Any person who has not applied for a mattress is requested to do at once at ihe coun^ s^enfs office. The project is being set up in every county and state of cotton belt to remove surplus cotfon and use it lor a good cause. The mattress will be available to both colored and white families, whether tenants or croppers. Also to-single persons who qualify as to the gross income. Only one mat tress will be given to a family under the regulations. i 666 MALARIA ill 7 days and relieves LiqvM-Tableto COLDS Salve-Nose Drops symptoms first day Try ‘*Rnb-My.Tins’*—« Wonderfnl Ltnimeat on unlimed area. , ’ 1 hostility or ill-will between these two! say, I think this was as bad as our 1 will public outcry to I public officials.
