With the forecast that the hot, dry onslaught would continue, Ben Boatwright, chairman of the South Carolina Drought Com mittee, called a meeting of inter ested feed and grain dealers and feed manufacturrs to discuss provisions of the Drought Em ergency Feed Program. Secretary of Agriculture Ben son, in Washington, announced that South Carolina and Ala bama were allotted $500,000 help to help transport hay into drought-stricken areas. Under its present aid pro gram, the department pays up to $1 0a ton, or not more than half the transportation cost, which ever is smaller, to move hay into needed areas. The department said Govs. James F. Byrnes and Gordon Persons of Alabama signed agreements to help ad minister the hay program in their states. Meanwhile, the Federal-State Crop Reporting Service said the drought, considered the worst on record in some upstate counties, was as bad in other parts of the state. The services’s weekly crop re view said: “Extrtme drought” still pre vails in a tier of upstate counties the Federal-State Crop Report ing Service said today. The drought was said to be considered the worst on record in some parts of the area. The situation in other parts of the state was reported better af ter rains but more rain was said to be needed there too. “With little or no rain in the state last week the moisture sit uation still ranges from deficient in southern and central sections to extreme drought in a tier of northern counties from Ander- ron-Oconee across to Marlboro. In at least parts of the latter area the drought is considered the worst on record. “The situation is better in the south and east as result of rains some 10 days ago but even here more rain is needed. “Land is being disked and grazing crops seeded where con ditions are at all favorable in an effort to relieve the critical feed shortage. Meanwhile forced sale of cattle continues. “Soybeans are blooming again from recent rains but more mois ture will be needed for anything like normal yields. “Cowpea hay, grown mostly downstate, shows some improve ment. However, very little les- pedeza is high enouhg to cut and farmers are resorting to avail able grasses to supplement the hay shortage. Pasturage is scarce except in favored locali ties. “An outbreak of rabies has oc curred in Barnwell county cattle attributed to mad foxes. “About two-thirds of the cot ton has been picked. A com bination of open weather and a small crop has resulted in prob ably the most rapid harvest of any previous cofton crop.” Variety Show And Beauty Contest Friday Evening A variety show, blackface minstrel and beauty contest, sponsored by the Clinton Ex change club, will be given to morrow evening, October 1, at 8 o’clock in the high school au ditorium.
