Rural Trash Disposal
Up To Communities
BY M. L. OUTZ
County Agent
I have said all along that its’
left up to the communities. This
was brought out at a meeting
held recently concerning trash
disposal.
The Laurens delegation feels
that if disposal area can be es
tablished, then the citizens of that
community can use the area by
disposing of their own trash. Also,
it is felt the county would more
or less service the area pro
viding it is accessible to roads
and is property leased to the
county and etc. Furman Thoma
son, our County Supervisor, says
that he has limited funds and will
be able to do a limited amount
of service under the present set
up. However, he says he realizes
the problem is urgent.
I’m sure everyone will agree
that this is a very vital step in
community improvement. How
ever, as I see it, there isn’t
going to be one thing done until
community leaders “take the bull
by the horns’ and do something.
By that I mean locate an area,
not a gully, the state health board
says gullies will cause pollu
tion of the streams below. That
is, people throw poison contain
ers, dead animals and etc. that
go to the streams below.
I believe the pulpwood compan
ies will cooperate with us and
help locate these areas. I un
derstand some have done this in
other counties.
Folks, the rat bait is moving.
If you haven’t gotten yours then
get it becuase it is really mov
ing. That is in some communi
ties. And some haven’thought any
to amount to anything. We only
have a very few hundred pounds
left and by the time you read
this there may not be any left. So
check with us.
We purchased two tons and that
is all we will handle, when that
is gone it will cost you more than
four times what this cost. We are
in competition with merchants
and that isn’t good. However, I
want to say thanks to all those
who handle the material because
they have been mighty kind to
help us. Some merchants have
sold as much as three hundred
pounds. I hope to be able to pub
lish the names of the merchants
and the amounts sold when we
finish. Our sincere thanks goes
to everyone handling the
material.
Blackbird Roosts - The U. S.
Department of Interior wants to
know more about where South
Carolina’s abundant flocks of
blackbirds roost in the fall and
winter. Anyone having informa
tion on blackbird roosts call the
County Agents’ Office at 984-
3021.
Rat Bait - The supply of rat
poison is running short. Pick up

Cotton Marketing Quota
Revised And Increased
BY MARY W. MONROE
County Office Manager ASCS
On October 15 the UnitedStates
Department of Agriculture an
nounced a revised national mar
keting quota of 16, 008,333 bales
(standard bales of 500 pounds,
gross weight) and a revised nat
ional acreage allotment of 17 mil
lion acres for the 1970 crop of up
land cotton.
This represents an increase of
941,666 bales in the quota and an
increase of one million acres in
the allotment from that announced
on October 1.
The increase was brought a-
bout by the declining 1969 crop
prospects caused primarily by
abnormal weather condition, cot
ton boll rot and insect damage
throughout much of the cotton
belt. The September 8 crop re
port, on which the original de
terminations were made, indi
cated a 1969 crop of 10,984,000
bales. The October 15 report in
dicated production of 10,428,000
bales. The increase in the quo
ta and allotment was necessary
in order to assure the main
tenance of adequate stocks in the
United States to provide a con
tinuous and stable supply of the
different qualities of cotton need
ed in the U. S. and in foreign
cotton-consuming countries.
For the 1970 crop, the farm
'omestic acreage allotment has
been set at 65 percent of the farm
acreage allotment, the minimum
authorized by law. Farmers who
sign up to participate in the pro
gram and who plant at least 90
percent of their farm’s domes
tic acreage allotment, but not in
excess of the permitted acreage
for the farm, will be eligible
for price-support loans and, for
price-support payments on the
farm domestic allotment.
The National average price
support loan rate for middling
1-inch cotton at average location
has been set at 20.25 cents per
pound for the 1970 crop. Price-
support loans available to pro
gram cooperators for different
individual qualities will be based
on the middling 1-inch rate. This
is the same rate as that appli
cable to the 1969 crop.
The price-support payment
rate to program cooperators
(those farms planting within the
domestic allotment) has been es
tablished at 16.80 cents per pound
(compared to the 1969 rate of 14.73
cents per pound). This payment is
in addition to the price-support
loan. It is the amount necessary
in addition to the loan to pro
vide producers at least 65 per
cent of parity on cotton pro
duced within the acreage permitt
ed under the program.
Since the carry-over of upland
cotton is expected to fall to the
lowest level since 1953, payments
will not be made in 1970 for di
verting acreage from cotton. This
provision is the same as was in
effect for the 1969-crop.
Small farms, that is, farms
with allotments of 10 acres or
less or with projected produc
tion from the allotment of 3,600
pounds or less, may plant the
entire farm allotment and, in ad
dition to the price-support pay
ment on the domestic allotment,
receive payment of 11.95 cents
per pound on the projected yield
of 35 percent of the farm allot
ment.
The projected yield for South
Carolina for 1970 has been set at
467 pounds. Since the State re
duction in projected yield a-
mounts to about 13 percent, it is
reasonable to assume that Lau
rens County’s projected yield for
1970 will be reduced approxi
mately the same percentage.
Therefore, Laurens County
farmers should expect to receive
reductions in their cotton pro
jected yields for 1970. However,
at present we do not know the
exact reduction in Laurens Coun
ty projected 1970 cotton yield.
This article is presented to
give Laurens County farmers ba
sic information on next year’s
program prior to a mail refer
endum, December 1-5, on 1970-
crop cotton marketing quotas.
In the referendum, at least two-
thirds of the upland cotton grow
ers voting must approve market
ing quotas before the essential
features of the program can go
into effect. If more than one-
third of the growers vote “NO*,
the only cotton program will be
price support at 50 percent of
parity for growers who do not
exceed their acreage allotment.
Prior to the referendum, pro
ducers will receive their farm
acreage allotments for 1970 and
full details on the proposed cot
ton program.
