Arrangements Made
I For Farm Meetings
I i
In order to usnit the farm people
of Kort?haw county to better hiy their
plans for 1932 and to assist them to
determine what crops.?they should
produce and in what amounts, county
agent Green is making arrangements
for a number of important meetings.
The dates are being arranged and
will Ik- announced in a few days.
Mr. D. Vto Watkins, senior economist.
United States department oI
agriculture, has advised Mr. Green
that he will corny to Uarmlen at an I
early date to conduct a general outlook
meeting. This is most important
in deterirfifting the larm and
business policies for the future. Outlook
wot.k might well be caller! the
eyes of agriculture. Mr. Watkins.
being the Senior economist for the
government, is in position to give our
people valuable information and it
a distinction to have him come to
Kershaw county.
I.earling farmers, bankers and other
business men have learned to use
and appreciate this work and it is
expected that this meeting will be a
popular one.
The farmer who operates without
this outlook information works in
the dark to a large extent.
Many a crop has been planted, cultivated
and harvested in Kershaw
county and sold at a loss when had
the farmer but known it it was already
foredoomed to bring him loss?
and the farmer, could have known of
its future outcome if foe had had the
opportunity of studying this important
outlook work as taught by the
government economists.
How many of our farmers or other
business men know now just whut
the 1932 outlook is for probable
prices on cotton, corn, wheat, poultry,
eggs, turkeys, potatoes, cows,
cream and butter, oats, hogs, Pea"t
nuts, mules? The outlook on some
of these is pretty dark while others
ure fairly bright. But without knowing
which is bright or which is dark
how is the producer to know how to
plan his 1932 operations? Outlook
work is the front sight for agriculture.
Many people will ask "How could
a Government economist know what
is ahead?" Many people will say
"That town man can't help me." Just
the same these special agents of the
government do know, they have proven
this many times before ? and
they can help our people of this
county if they will only listen.
It will be a big opportunity for
the people of Kershaw county to
hear Mr. Watkins, to be able to ask
him questions. Tell your neighbor
about it and watch for the meeting
dale. Let's . stop farming in the
dark, advises Henry I). Green, the
county agent.

Seaboard Pays
.Back Taxes
Columbia, ,.l)ec\ . 29.~Comptroller
General A. J. Beattie announced to- \
day checks totaling $400,0#! had
been received from receivers for the
Seaboard Air Line Railway to cover
1030 tax assessmenta.
Except for approximately $10,000
all the money is to be distributed to
the 31 counties in the state through
which* the road operates.
Checks for approximately the same
amount, $100,000, are expected tomorrow,
the comptroller general said,
to pay 1031 taxes.
The 1030 taxes have been in arrears,
Mr. Beattie said, but in order
to get the money, he had taken
the amount of the tax less the penalty
without canceling the state's lien
as to penalty, and was still holding
the execution until the matter of liability
A'as determined.
aThe railroad, contends it is not subject
to the penalty since it is in
bankruptcy.
