At the regular meeting of the Hoard of I>ir?4<toni of the organization which wax held on lant Tuesday they adopted a farming program which was presented hy secretary-treasurer, Mc* Daniel, before submitting the pro gram to tho Hoard of Director#, Mr. McDanlel presented It to J. W. Saun ders, Farming Demonstration Agent of Kershaw County and J. W. Tiller, Fanning Demonstration Agent for Chesterfield County. Both Mr. Saun ders and Mr. Tiller very heartily en dorsed the program and expressed themselves iin believing that If it was accopted by the farmers of this sec lion it would mean more toward the reduction of acreage of cotton produc tion than anything that has ever here tofore been. done. Within the next few days Mr. Mc Danlel will have completed- a mailing list -of the farmers of the county, and will then mail to everyone of them a copy of this program. In connection -.with the program l>e ing mailed out, Mr. McDanlel slates that within the next two w?*ek8 he will have completed a bureau of In formation for the- S|m via I benefit of the farmers of this, a* well as sur rounding con ii'tie*.
