Jan. 2.?Approximately 25,000 fedora 1 census etn| ployee* Unlay l???gan the huge task I of enumerating the more than six I million farms and ranches .of the 'United States in what is probably thw most important agricultural census in the nation's history, according to a statement released by Director William L. Austin, Bureau of the Census, Department of Commerce. Plans call for the completion of the canvass before the end of January. "The Fifteenth Decennial Census] Act, approved June 18, 1920, directed that n mid-decennial Census of Agriculture be taken January 1, 1935, for tile calendar year 1934," Director Austin said. "Because of the tremendous upheaved in the great basicindustry of agriculture, due to the depression, drought and other factors new farm statistics are urgently needed in connection with the Government's vast recovery program. "The earnest cooperation of the farmer is necessary to the success of this census, for it is one of the federal activities designed primarily for his benefit. The statistics are necessary not only for the ordinary trahshetion of governmental business, but also for allotment programs. These programs range from the allocations -of the Agricultural Adjustment Administration to the Federal Emergency Relief and Farm Credit Administrations. Indeed, the benefits expected to be derived from this census are incalculable and will have a marked influence on the future welfare of agriculture and the country as a whole. J "Due to the splendid cooperation of newspapers, farm publications, state and county farm agencies and organizations and educational institutions in disseminating information j concerning the importance of this farm census more than a million copies of the sample schedule have been distributed to farmers. Those who do not have schedules are urged to write, 'phone or call at the farm census headquarters in their district, procure a copy, study the questions and have their records ready when the enumerator calls. The headquarters >for the 5th District of South Carolina is located at County Office Building, Ijancaster. "The Bureau desires to call attention to the law which provides that the individual return made by each farmer is an absolutely confidential government report and to emphasize the fact that no individual figures will be used for taxation purposes nor given to any tax official. All enumerators, as well as all Census employees, are sworn to secrecy and are required to read the law and the severe penalties established for any disclosure of information. Only sworn employees of the Census Bureau have access to the files.- Section 9 of the Fifteenth Decennial Census Act provides penalties for failure to answer questions asked by enumerators or for giving false information. "Enumerators are legal residents of the districts which they canvass. Some, if not all, of the farmers residing in an enumeration district will know the enumerator personally and they will do well to see that an accurate report is returned for their district. With the program now being carried on by the Government to assist agrioulture an inaccurate report might very readily react to the disadvantage of the farmers in that particular district. "The farm schedule is comprised of 100 questions covering practically every important ramification of the agricultural industry. Of course, very few farmers will be required to answer all of the questions, only the ones pertaining to their particular activities. Questions to be answered will include farm tenure; farm population; farm acreage, which includes all crop land, pasture land and woodland; total value of the farm; acreage and yield of each of the principal field crops and vegetables; number of trees and yield of the principal fruits and nuts; nufnber and value of each class of livestock and poultry and eggs." "Next To Advertising MatV*r" There used to be a favorite phrase of advertisers*. They asked to have their advertisements placed "next to reading matter" in the belief that such a position would assure more attention. But today the editor might well ask to have his news items placed "next to advertising matter," for very def-1 initely the advertisements have a tremendous reader following. Today's; advertisements win eager attention because they help people buy intelligently, quickly, without waste of time, and get fall value for the money spent. That i? the great function of advertising?to guide you awiftly and surely to wise, economical buying. The bent advertisement Is always the one that fives yea the facts ~ you want?simply, honestly, without exaggeration.?Grand Junction (Colo.) - r e 3T~rr?? jBranhani Baby Buried At Smyrna j rites for Bclvin Branham, 3year-old .son of Mi. and Mi*.

Interment followed in the churchyard. The younger boy was shot when his older brother obtained a ,22 rifle out of the car his father had parked ' in front of the house and started in the house with the gun which was accidentally discharged. The bullet struck Belvin, who was standing just inside the door, in the forehead. i- Surviving are, his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Allen Branham, Blythewood; six brothers, Caldwell Branham, Winnsboro; George, Carlile, Claud, Clyburn and Grudy Branham, all of Blythewood; four sisters, Mi*.

Association Held Meeting Members of The Kershaw Production C red it Association which serves the counties of Lancaster and Ker| shaw, held their first annual stockholders meeting at Kershaw on January 7, 1985, heard complete reports | on the first year's operations of the association and elected directors for I the coming year. The meeting was very largely attended, not only by the members but also by a great many farmers who are not members but who desire to acquaint themselves with the credit facilities which the association is offering. An invitation had been extended; by the association to all farmers to attend. After the annual report of the year's operations had been made by Alex G. Clarkson, Secretary-Treasurer of the association, the meeting was addressed by Mr. Ernest Graham, President, of the Production Credit Corporation of Columbia. In his address Mr. Graham explained the corporate >c*t-up of the Farm Credit Administration of Columbia, which soithe states of North Carolina, South Carolina. Georgia and Florida, ' and made a thorough explanation of 1 the bnal association's financial statement. ! Mr. Graham pointed out that the cooperation of farmers in the field of ciedit through the production credit association* has enabled them to go collectively into central investment ' markets to obtain money at low rates J of interest. The low cost of credit resources of financial centers of the. ] nation long available to other indus- ' tries, have through these associations been made available to agriculture, he said. Mr. Graham said that the procedure foi obtainnig loans for the coming year had been greatly simplified and | that the loans could be handled a ^reat deal more quickly th*n in the 4 past. He urged farmers, however, to make their applications early and get their commitments approved as they do not begin paying interest until they ,get their money. ? Other speakers at the meeting included Mr. Zent and Mr. Cuddell, of \\ ashington, D. C., on Coordinating of Government activities on farm credits; R. D. Steen, County Agent of I Lancaster county; H. D. Green, County Agent of Kershaw County and W. T. Redfearn, President of the Kershaw Production Credit Association. The meeting was presided over by W. T. Redfearn, President of the as- ' sociation. The directors elected for the coming year are: W. T. Redfparn, President; E-. J, Bailey, Vice-President; W. H. Draffin, Loring Davis and L. O. Funderburk. The membership of the association consists of farmers who borrowed from the association last year for production purposes, each borrower having been required to take out Class iB. stock in the amount of $5.00 for each $100.00 or fraotion thereof borrowed. The Class B stock of this association as of December 31st was valued at $5.54. The Kershaw Production Credit Association makes loans for agricultural purposes. The interest is 5 per cent per year at present, payable when the loan matures and interest is charged only for the time the money is used. Members of the association expect its volume of business to be greatly increased this year as the farmers have 'become better acquainted with the service it offers. ALEX G. CLARKSON, Secretary and Treasurer. Grants Another Commutation Governor Blackwood granted executive clemency to nine persons serving sentences on a variety of charges. Among the list was Henry Truesdale, convicted of manslaughter in Kershaw county in October, 1928, had his 12-year sentence commuted to date. .. ..... F. J. Gorman Scored By Miss Carrie Nash Under the heading, "My Experience m the Textile Union," Mies Carrie Nash, former (financial secretary of Textile Union, No. 2171, at . Greenwood, has written the following communication to The Greenwood IndexJournal: V ? "Wivon the union was first organized 1 was under the impression that such an organization had the financial bucking of the U. T. W. A. in close co-operation wifc the A. F. I., which I understood had a Urge treasury. At the time the union was organized I was making a good living wage, and was aware of it, ?bui at the same time I felt that if my joining the union and hlVping to support the organization & would at some future time be \he means of increasing my own or other people's salaries, I was going torto ^ "After joining I was elected to fill the office of financial '^Ksretar*' therefore, I feel that I am h t position (to know a few that might be enlightening to ottfm, "Before the strike was called I|fed sent to James 'Starr, secretary,: to Francis J. Gorman, approximately! $1,100. During the strike we rectify ed weekly bulletins from headquarters, issued by Gorman, telling us to hold fast, stick together, etc., that they were behind us and wide awake, which led us to believe that when we reached a crisis we would receive help from headquarters. "After our local treasury was depleted our secretary was authorized by the president to semi Mr. Gorman a special delivery, stating our circumstances. This being done, we waited a week and, receiving no reply, u telegram was then sent to Mr. Gorman telling him it would be impossible to.carry on any longer without help. We received no reply from this. "At the convention in GafTney a resolution was drawn up and telegraphed to Mr. Gorman asking,that Ft commissary be set up in Greenwood for the relief of the two locals, and to my knowledge Gorman hasn't been heard from yet. "?\yhen Pecle. Brookshire and Rogers come down and cry, 'Stick together, you've got the backing.'? well, that's a huge .joke. They wont the locals to stick together sure, for that's where their salary comes from. The only help we ever got was from Dther locals, and if one local in Carolina has to help another, w4iy is it necessary to send Gorman the money ? "Each month that I mailed Gorman s secretary a money order, usually around $150, there wasn't a minute lost in the time it took for it to get there and a receipt to get back here, thanking us and wishing us all kinds of success and hoping we would continue to grow. "Before the union was organized I didn t know a single needy family in our community, and now I could name a dozen needy families. What has the union profited any of us? It has bred enmity among a few and brought hardships to many, and now Mr. Gorman doesn't even recall that there was ever a local No. 2171 in Grednwood, S. C., or, if he does, there is no evidence of the fact. "I sincerely hope that if anyone reading this happens <U> -be a 100 per cent union member, or is still inclined to belong to a union, he or she will not be offended, for I have merely stated the true facts. I do not care for any more pnion experience and prefer to <be dictated to from now on, by someone I know personally and not Gorman." Carrie Naah. 329 Grove Street, Greenwood, tS.

Too Much Clemency Bad For Blackwood Washington, Jan. 3.?Pros pec la for an important federal job which have been very bright for Governor I. (\ 'Blackwood are said to be somewhat dimmer in political circles here following the "South Carolinan's numerous clemency grants recently. Although President Roosevelt has indicated that Governor Blackwood was on a favored list to receive government positions in the near future, there are many who think the president looks with disfavor on nearly 200 clemencies which the governor issued in the past month. It has 'been leemed that a number of letters 'have been received by members of the South Carolina delegation protecting- against Blackwood receiving a federal appointment. Only a few weeks ago the Palmetto official attended a crime conference here at which paroles and pardons were among matters given much attention. . The pardoning record of the South Carolina governor' is the subject of much discussion in Washington .this Week?and much of it is not satisfactory for the chances of a federal [officials have pointed out.
