C - ; Uln/Hintjin nt?ij J| rconGftCJ/mMTj-pmcHflffOj-1 Washington, Feb. U.?The new farm bill conference report brought Into the house on Tuesday was adopt* ed on Wednesday by a roll call vole of 263 to 136. Before the bill becomes law It will be necessary for the senate to also adopt the report, followed by the signature of the president. The program would continue the soil conservation act und set up ina? ehlnery by which Secretary Wallace, with the approval of farmers* could apply marketing quotas to wheat, cotton, corn, tobacco and rlCe. South Carolina Is mainly concerned In the provisions of the bill applying to cotton and tobacco. The comn\lttoo re port is u compromise between the senate and house measures. It Is not a perfect bill, by any means, and many of our farmers will be disappointed when It goes into effect. It Is better, though, than no bill at all for the relief of agriculture. It should, also, be remembered that the outlook for an appreciable advance In cotton prices this year Is not bright even If finis law goes ihto effect, due to the tremendous carry-over now on hand.. Some of the salient points of the measure are as follows: Plans a cotton orop between ten and twelve million bales, which will be apportioned to the cotton states on the basis of their yield during the previous five years and then on down to counties and Individuals In the same way. When cotton quotas are approved by two-thirds of the growers a penalty of 2 cents per pound Is provided for excess production during this year, and three cents thereafter. The Boileau amendment was modified so that It applies only to dairy cattle and applies then only In case of dairy herds, fed by diverted acres, increase above the normal. In case marketing quotas are voted by two-thirds of the producers the bill fixes a bottom to which the cot-1 j ton allotment- for marketing quota purposes cannot go. That bottom Is 60 per cent of the 1937 acreage, plus j diverted acreage. A provision Is Included to luke'3(^j per cent of the American tariff collect TTons. representing about the per centage the farmers of the county bear to the total population, and use it for the purpose of widening the distribution of farm commodities at home and enlarging their distribution abroad. The grower will lose all benefit payments, under the soil conservation provisions of the bill, if he fails to abide by this allotment. Two per cent of, state allotment will be reserved for new cotton farm and for farms where cotton has been only produced during the last three years No allotment can be made for leas than five acres or two bales, if as much as that has been planted or produced In any one of the three immediately preceding years. The average yield during the last five years Is translated to an acreage base and all quotas are in acres and all cotton grown on this acreage is free of penalty Three per cent of total planned crop will be set aside for additional apportionment to growers who have been planting less than 15 acres Considerable stir was caused in the j house by the president's request tor $250,000,000 additional funds for I'WA relief. The request was based on ex pected relief demands during Febru- j ary. March and April The number on work relief in Febuary was about I 3.000.000 '1 he figure was 1.4o0.0o0j last October.

The reaaon la thut It la uaually duriiiK childhood that tuherculoala begins When death occurs at some ago between fifteen and forty five, It only represents a harvest from seed sown in youth. Most cases of tuberculosis are chronic or long lasting. It starts when germs of tuberculosis take root somewhere in the lungs. A number of years may pass before theso germs cause serious or noticeable damage. During the seedling stage much can be done toward preventing the diseases from reaching tho harvest stage. Therefore, it is ever sc Important to understand Just how tuberculosis develops and how to know when a child needs special atteutlon. Tuberculosis is not inherited. It is caused and passed from person to person by a germ known to science as the tubercle bacillus. Those who have lung tuberculosis, especially when the disease Is in advanced stages. cough up, sneeze and spit out tujbercle bacilli from time to time?ofI ten in largo quantities. Children who live around or frequently live in contact with such persons are likely to swallow or breathe in some of the j germs. Dried dust containing the germs of a careless spitter may be directly inhaled; germs may even be picked up on the fingers. Fondling or kissing a child may result in passing on to him a dose of tuberculosis gerniB. Spoons, drinking cups, dishes, food all may have tubercle bacilli on them, unknowingly placed there, by one j who is suffering from tuberculosis. I Children whose misfortune it is to live in homes where there is a careless person with the disease are in unusual danger. They are almost continuously exposed to large doses of tuberculosis germs. The early form of tuberculosis as a rule does not cause any clear symptoms or signs by which the doctor may discover its presence. The child may appear to be robust and healthy or he may be underweight, rather pale or not very energetic. However, these same symptoms may be due to other causes. Two tests may be used as an aid in the early diagnosis of tuberculosis One is the tuberculin test, which shows whether or not there are tubercle bacilli in the body. It does not tell how many there are or where they are located. The other test is made by an X-ray examination of the chest to find out if any damage has been done. Is is wise to search for early signs of tuberculosis in a child? Yes, and again yes is the answer, because early signs are a warning signal, a warning that at some time the child has been exposed to tuberculosis It calls for a search among the adults in the home for a person who may not even be suspected of being ill with tuberculosis Should a child continue to ive in, surroundings where he is frequently receiving additional doses of tuberculosis germs, there is constant danger that he may develop a serious form of tuberculosis. For this reason when it has been found by the tuberculin test and X-ray examination that a child has been infected with tuberculosis germs, it is very important to examine every member of the household to find out if the child is goingto bo exposed further to constant danger in his own home. Quintuplets In South Carolina Were quintuplets born In South Carolina 65 years ago, and are they still living? Public welfare investigators in a certain county recently received evi dence of such a phenomenon, accord ing to officials of the State Depart ment of Public Welfare Applications for obi age assistance were made by five brothers and sis ters. and in submitting the required evidence of age, they found some diifloulty. The Investigator suggested affidavits from some one competent to swear as to the years of the births of the five.

Half of the land on the average South Carolina farm ia In woodland or suitable for raising crops of timber. This means that twofifths of the forest lands of the state is on farms. This places the farmer squarely in a position to say how this timber is to be cut or to cut it himself in a manner to assume frequent substantial cuttings. Cropping woodlands always leaves an abundance of seed bearing trees 0 restock the area. Cropping also imits cutting so that there Is always 1 good many trees left standing after >ach cut. These trees are the thrifty fast growing individuals which provide material for frequent subsequent cuttings, providing constant income. Naturally the woods must be protected from fire at all times and the former living on his property is in a avorable position to do this effectively and Inexpensively. The farmer can usually make thinnings where trees are too thick for rapid growth und he can also make improvement cuttings to remove defective or undesirable trees. He is for fuel or farm use much of the unmarketable material secured in these cultural operations. However, if the farmer cuts pulpwood without any or with very little regard for future crops he places him. self in the position of putting himself out of the timber growing business, Denuded forest lands take m&ny years to recover and during periods of low productivity the landowner industries and communities dependent on the forests for raw materials and outlets for the employment of labor are in distress. When this occurs, the pulpwood markets aid the farmer in becoming a forest bankrupt and the land .. is a burden to him and to the community. However, by cutting v intelligently, j the farm woods may supply the en- A tire domestic and farm needs for the farm and in addition bring in frequent and substantial income from the sale of stumpage or harvested forest pro- i ducts for saw logs, poles, piling, veneer, logs, cross-ties, njaval stores, pulpwood and fuelwood. Advice in forestry problems con-' ronting the farm is available through j the county agents or through the (lis- ] trict foresters of the South Carolina state forest service. This advice Is furnished at no cost to the landowner and should be secured before timber cutting is started, whenever practicable, in order to avoid costly mistakes However, the farmer should avail ^ himself of this service even if bis -timber-hug been cut, in order to pro- ~ fit from sound advice in his forestry j problems. Butler's Son Is Fatally Injured Greenburg, Pa., Feb. 11.?Kevin Butler, 33-year-old building firm executive and son of Justice Pierce Butler of the Supreme Court of the "nited States, died early today, less than 24 hours after he was injured in a fall from a speeding train. Physicians who five hours previously had administered a blood transfusion said the member of the firm of Kevin Butler and Brothers had died of shock and severe Injuries. These included a skull fracture, torn scalp, ace and head larcerations and intern- j al injuries. > His wife was at the bedside.
