Soil Bank Date For Wheat Applications Closes On September 21 Laurens county farmers with wheat allotments should find out immediately what the soil bank has to offer them, and then de cide whether they want to use it, according to county Farm Bu reau officials. The county ASC office is the place to go to get any desired in formation, they said. The spil bank program is de signed to decrease production by removing land from production of crops now in surplus, to help keep farm income up on farms from which land is removed from 1 production, and to encourage 1 good conservation practices. The opportunity to participate j in the program as applies to ! wheat, closes on September 21 Rental payments for wheat land are to be determined by multi plying the normal production of wheat on the farm by $1.32 per bushel—in other words,' if the normal production on the aver age has been 2f) bustles per acre then the rent- will be $26 40 Farmers are advised not to take for granted that they have until September 21 to sign a con tract. Not only is the time lim ited the available funds for rental payments are.also limited. Con tfacts will be accepted on a fir-* i come, first served basis, that 1 means that when the contracts i signed in the couuty total as I much as thp money allorated r to the county then the door is clos ed.

B. DILLARD 1 The Clinton exchange of the Southern Bell Telpehone com pany is in the process of adding two positions' tbdfs" long distance facilities, bringing the total to nine, and also adding two posi tions for local calls, for a total of ieght, to more expeditously handle the increasing volume of calls at the local office. * The seven white panels which the operators at the left of the above picture are facing are long distance positions, and those to the right are for local calls. Also to the left is Mrs. Josie McCaslan, chief operator, shown in conference with Miss Orena Reeves, evening chief operator. Clinton is a toll center for long ! distance calls from Laurens, Jo" anna, Whitmire and Clinton. Telephone users have recently heard the operator use such ex pressions as “Chlot 202 plus,” etc., or “Atla 312 plus 131,” while making long distance calls through the Clinton exchange. This is a new practice introduced I in Clinton during August and has created much interest. Operators here have access to the dialing directions for reach ing frequently called places rout- if 8 •> tm B 8 S 8 a #.* a »« M i 8 ♦ ♦ « (■ 8 :: | ed through direct points which . already have, intertoll d.ial cir- \ ! cuits. Frequently customers may tnot hear the name of the town 1 they are calling during the entire ! transaction. Instead, codbs are used which by-pass intermediate operators and go direct to the j distant, telephone. It is is contemplated that even tually operators in any town may dial numbers anywhere in the United States and Canada. Then, too, research is progressing rap idly toward the time when ‘‘di rect distant dialing’ will be in use over the same area. This means that the customer may dial and complete his own call with out the assistance of operators. Such a plan is now in use among nine selected cities in widely sep arated areas of the country.

Every Tuesday Is Butchering Day At Our Abattoir I ' September 11 The Chronicle: The number of South Carolin- iansi for independnet electors was received with mixed emotions, gratifying to many while shock ing to others. Having received one of the forms to circulate for signatures, I deemed it a pleasure and a privilege to do so. As is known, the result is a number far in ex cess that r e q ui r e d to secure the independent electors’ place on the ballot in November. Yet, the number reached may have ^eehbrvly”a^dropTh"The~bucket, had the opportunity been theirs to sign. A willingness, some with ea gerness, was shown, as is indi cated by the twenty-six contacts made, with only one refusing to sign. The twenty-fifth sig»ature was that of a disappointed, yet proud, national delegate to Chicago. He was able to see. at first hand, the futility of supporting a ticket that is dominated and dictated by left wing combinations of mi norities as AFL-CIO, NAACP. ADA, etc. All of which are poi son to the South. Many good Democrats would like to be loyal to the party of their fathers. But with disloyal ty and corruption abounding within, there is little left to be loyal to. And those coated pills some are taking are sickening to others. Two or three politicians in South Carolina, have in the past, with their antiquated views, managed to crack the whip in an attempt to sack us. The whip's peal is losing its appeal; as was demonstrated in the last • two elections. With tact and diplomacy and a greater effort on the part of pioneering independent Demo crats, there will be many thous ands yet to break the bonds. More Carolinians are thinking for themselves, more and more have, and are, learning to write They realize that with the pres ent set-up there is little to lose. A start is being made for a more wholesome Democratic party, and an immediate respect will have been won EDWAlRD C.
