WIMBERLY fv> Time Short For Accepting Contracts Due to the fact that the time for accepting Cotton Acreage Reduction Contracts expires at midnight Jan uary 31, 1934, it is highly important and uigent that all farmers who are eligible to make these contracts get in touch with their committeemen without delay and execute a contract so that they will be sure they will not bo left out when the time expires. Farmers of Kershaw County are called upon to cooperate in this mat ter as they have never been called upon to before. This is because we are very short on committeemen and it will be physically impossible for our committeemen to look up every farmer in the county who i:; eligible to make a contract. Therefore, it becomes absolutely necessary that I lie farmers cooperate by looking up their committeemen. Please do not make the mistake of waiting until a committeeman comes to see you. In case you can not find your committee man you should then come immediate ly to the County Agent's office in the Court House in Camden and we will help you here to make your contract. No excuse will be accepted later as to why a farmer did not make a con tract, provided he is eligible to do so. No Seed Loans or other government money will be loaned to a farmer who did not make a reduction contract provided he was eligible to do so Those eligible to make these contracts are landowners or other;; who have absolute control over the land. If there are any questions or if there is any reason why you have not signed a contract, please get in touch with your committeeman or County Agent at once and ask any questions or get any assistance you desire and then execute youv contract. No contractu will be accepted after time expires. This; is- the biggest opportunity our ^farmers in Kershaw County have ever, had to help themselves* No farmer ,can afford to fail to cooperate with his neighbors and government in this gigantic effort to free our people of ?.nei. economic bondage. Look up your committeeman at once and make your contract without delay: regardless of what you are doing or what work you are engaged in. This is strictly to tho advantag? of our farmers to enter into this movement. You are being paid well for this cooperation. HENRY I). GREEN, Co. Agent v KKKHAW PRODUCTION CREDIT ASSOCIATION The offices of the Kershaw Pro duction Credit Association in Ker shaw. arc now open and ready to serve the Farmers. Both Lancaster md Ke shaw Counties are covered by this Association. The offices are located in the Hank of Kershaw Building, on the second floor.

In spectors have been provided with the necessary information and materials for doir.g this work, and are now waiting to fill in the applications. If any question arises that cannot bo j satisfactorily answered by an Inspec-j tor, it is not. necessary to call at thej Main Offices in Kershaw. If the) Farmer will write a brief letter to j the Kershaw Production Credit As-i sociation, the information will bei sen' to him a;i quickly ar. possible. Applications arc being received j each day, and it is fov tho individual Farmer's best interest that he get an application in as soon as possible, so that there will be plenty of timfl to get his application properly at tended to, and to avoid any rush.
