Any person wishing to have a copy of a Farm Account Book for keeping his 1955 records may get one free at the County Agent’s office. More farmers received a copy of this book from th office the first of this year than any previous year. The book has appropriate pag es for entering cost of various materials, used such as fertilizer, seeds, insecticides, etc.; farm equipment, livestock, poultry, etc.; car expenses, etc.; labor ex pense and household expense, etc. Also th book has appropriate pages for receipts or sales of va rious farm products or commodi ties. Also appropriate pages for en tering inventories of various things on the farm at the begin ning of the year and at the close of the year. The entire record boo kis complete, yet simple to keep, and valuable by having full knowledge of the farm and home operation as a business. Farming is a big business and it is necessary to have records of its operation the same as the ope ration of a bank, store, cotton mill or any other business con cern. The 83rd Congress amended the Social Security Act to cover farm operators which became ef fective January 1, 1955. Farm ompolyees are already covered by the law if they work for one farm operator. The new law brings old-age and sqrvi^ors in surance protection to kll farm State Has Tormenting Weather Year By JOHN SUMNER Columbia, January 1— Record heat waves a crop-killing, four- month drought and a 25 million dollar-plus hurricane teamed up to make South Carolina’s 1954 weather year one of the most tor menting in its history. The drought was bad enough. Lasting from June through Sep tember, it was the state’s driest period since records were started in 1887. ■’ ' Accompanying heat toppled long-standing temperature marks and critically reduced precious water supplies in a score of com munities. Weather of all types, particu larly electrical and wind storms, took at least 11 lives. This does not include traffic deaths caused by the elements. The star attraction of nature’s unwelcome performance was Hurricane Hazel.

Civil Defense officials estimat ed property damage in Horry and Georgetown counties alone at more than 24 1-2 million dollars. Eight per cent of Myrtle Beach’s waterfront development area was ruined or damaged. Nearby at little Pawley’s Island, 80 homes were destroyed. Damage to houses and stores was so extensive that Governor Byrnes ordered out National Guard troops to prevent looting. He asked for and got federal dis aster relief assistance for the slow job of rebuilding resort areas. All-out precautions and several dramatic rescues paid off in safe ty. Only one fatality was attrib uted to Hazel. A little good came with all the bad. Rains moving in with the hurricane- broke the drought’s three degrees the mar^. The average state tmperature during July was about 82 degrees making it one of the six hottest months since the turn of the cen tury. Several communities had readings of 90 or more every day of the month. Columbia counted 11 days of 100 degree or more readings. South Carolina’s coldest point was towering Caesar’s Head in Greenville county. It was 5 above there January 1&. A week later, Yemassee had the highest read ing of the month, 83. June was a study in extremes. Generally, it waa the driest on record. But several towns had downpours of four to eight inches on the 17th and 18th. Precipita tion ranged from 0.1T inch at Camden to nearly 9 at Sumter. Rainfall was almost normal in May averaging 3.37 inches, but it was only 50 per cent of normal in August Sullivan’s Island was the driest spot getting only 0.14 inch. Charleston also reported its driest August on record with but 0.18 inch of rain. September ranked as the driest since 1941. Rainfall averaged 1.63 inches, 2.5 below average. Great Falls and Salem got none. The long dry spell had its'ef- on stream flow and storage The flow of the Edisto river near Givhans was the lowest in 15 years during September and the Pee Dee fell to a record all-time low at Pee Dee.
