The Allotment Plan And Cotton Acreage Clemsc-n College, Aug. 12.?To the miiny people who are already "beginning to wonder just what plan of control will he applied to cotton production in 11)34 to prevent a large crop from offsetting the advantages gained through acreage reduction this year, T>. W. Watkins, extension agricultural economist, says that under the Farm Act the allotment plan seems to be the most likely and feasible plan. This allotment plan applied to cotton would be approximately as follows, he explains: The average production of cotton in the United (States for a period, say of five years, would be determined. The average domestic consumption for the same period would be determined. Let us say it was 45 per cent of production. The domestic allotment of the entire cotton belt would be 45 per cent of the average production. The alfctment to each state would be 45 per cent of its five-year average production, likewise for each county within each state. A county organization would take the county allotment and divide it among the cotton growers according to the average production of each. The period for basing individual allotments might be a two-year or a three-year period and allottments would be adjusted pro-rata to "fit *tho county allotment. With the purpose of raising the price to pre-war parity levels the Secretary of agriculture would call for a reduction in acreage, say of 30 per cent, on the part of those growers who are to receive the benefits of the I I | allotment plan. j The grower would agree in return ! for benefits received under the nlloti merit plan to reduce his acreage and ' would be paid by the Federal Gov'ernment an amount that would in effect give him the parity price on his individual al>otment of approximately 45 per cent of his usual promarket price. His entire crop would be sold in the usual way, the allotment benefits serving to raise his cash iAcome offsetting the .possible loss from reducing his acreage. Growers not cooperating would receive the ordinary or prevailing market price on their entire crop. The benefits for a particular year | wouldi be paid to cooperating growers who reduced acreage according to agreement with the Secretary regardless of the price of cotton for that season by reason of the fact that the processing tax would have been applied and collected and the acreage would have been reduced by the individual. The plan outlined here is very similar to that now being applied to wheat. Karl II. Fehl, a Jackson county, Ore., judge, has been sentenced to serve four years in prison, following his conviction on a charge of stealing 1 (),()()() ballots from the county court bouse last February.

Atlanta, Oa Plant Fall Garden Now Says Clemson tClemaon College, Aug. 12.?Asserting that such vegetables hs cabbage, carrots, beets, spinach, turnips, lettuce ?in<l kale thrive best in cool weather and should be planted at such a time that most of the growing period will be in the cool season of the fall before frost, A. K. Schil letter, extension horticulturist, suggests planting the fall garden in August and September. Bquns may be planted in succession, ho says, until six weeks before frost. ' Hero are his specific suggestions to | fall gardeners: Cabbage plants of the Wakefield varietiesAif' set now, will form heads bWore" the void weather. With slight protection both cabbage and col-lards will carry through our severest winters, Kalo sown in September will produce abundant greens during winter and early spring. Siberian Curled is a good fall variety. > .. For lettuce, sow Big Boston and, Mignonette for a fall and winter sup-1 ply. With slight protection firm heads can be produced. -Mustard will stand any amount of cold, and sown during late August and (September will furnish greens throughout the fall, winter and early spring. Rape sown in September will yield excellent winter greens. Spinach sown in the last of September or the early part of October will produce greens throughout the winter until late spring. The turnip is one of the reliable vegetables, producing both roots and tops for winter and spring use. Sow seed August IS to September 15. Southern Pride is good for roots and tops. Japanese Foliage and SevenTops are good for salad. W I B. Y. P. t\ Quarterly Meeting- ! The Kershaw B. Y. P. U. Assneia-i tion held its quarterly meeting July 30 at Mt. Pisgah.

Master for Kershaw County August 4-11-18-25, 1933 3ur Neglected Assets (By lUrry Hampton) Game Departmeat's History. About 11)07 or 11)08 the Audubon Society of (South Carolina began its activities, principally for the preservation of song ^nd insectiveroifs birds. Until then all killing was unrestricted and all wild life was greatly depleted. In 11)10 the Society secured the passage of South Carolina's first game bill, an act creating a chief game warden, to be recommended by the president of the Audubon Society and appointed 'by the governor. The chief gamu warden then had full power to hire and fire all his assistants. James Henry Kicc, Jr., was the first chief g#mo warden, taking office in 1910. We served two years of his four year term and resigned in 1012. For a year the department was without a head, as there seemed to be some disagreement between the governor and the president of the Audubon Society. Finally, in 1013, A. A. Richardson was agreed on and named. When the time came for another appointment, a meotjng of the Society wavs called, and those present vot[ ed to recommend Mr. Richardson, j But the president of the .Society, . W. H. Gibbes, pointed out that the law provided that he make the appointment, not the members, and, claiming the meeting had been "packed with political henchmen," refused to nominate Mr. Richardson. On requests from friends, Mr. Gibbes nominated himself, was appointed and assumed the office. Mr. Richardson insisted he was the 1 proper nominee and refused to turn over his records or office equipment. \ The matter was fought in the courts < and Mr. Gibbes, who had gone ahead 1 with the duties of the office, reor- 1 ganizing the force, was finally doclar- ( ed to be a de factor officer. ] In 11)20 the general assembly pass- < ed amendments whereby the chief ' name warden should be elected by the j general assembly, and county game ] wardens by the county delegations of 1 the counties of their residence. This made the. machinery of the game de- ( partment entirely political, which it ; has been ever since. < In his final report, in 1020, when J he resigned to take up other work, . Mr. Gibbes warned against this plan, saying it would be better to have the < chief game warden elected by a com- 1 mission of some sort, and predicting that the new plan would make of the department, "a political football." Mr. Richardson has been chief game warden since 1020. ? < Fencing Is Big Need < For More Livestock j Clemson College, Aug. 12.?"While j there is not much argument for fenc- j trig a cotton field, there is plenty of i argument for fencing some, of the land nop- in cotton and growing there- j in feed for livestock and thus reduc- ( ing the cotton acreage in favor of 1 more and better livestock," thinks ^ Prof. L. V. Starkey, head of the ani- j mal husbandry department. A lack < of good fences, he says, is one of the t most serious drawbacks to a profitable < livestock industry in South Carolina. In the livestock sections of the country ,on the other hand, it is unusual ( to find a field not fenced. I "It is often the case that when a 1 field of oats is harvested if the field < were only fenced livestock could } glean much clear profit from the j grain which is left on the land," Prof. ' Starkey continues. "Likewise, a corn c field may be ready to hog down but ( because of lack of fence this crop , must be harvested and carried to the hogs in dry lot at added expense, and much of the manure never gets back . to the field on which the feed was grown. "Sometimes we find a fence around a field which is too poor to grow anything. If this same fence were around a good piece of land much grazing could be obtained. : "In short, feed crops, forage crops and permanent pastures are what it takes to produce livestock. These call for more and better fences." Mrs. Hannah Mosley was arrested at GatTney on a Spartanburg warrant for stealing her husband'* automobile, taken out by the , husband , against his wife. The husband, Kb jail on a federal sentence for bootlegging and swore out the warrant against his wife from that retreat. | His wife visited him in jail and on departing saw his automobile at the curb and drove home in it. It had been left there by another woman. A new oil strike has been made on the reservation of the Blackfeet Indians in Montana, on the eastern border of Glacier National Park.
