C., Feb II. ltdO ? f ' : Parity Payments For 1940 Given By AAA Announcement received from the Agricultural Adjustment Administration by the state office of the AAA and the Kxtehstym Service gives 1.55 cents per pound as the rate of parity payment for cotton in 1940. The parity payment for corn will he 6 cents per bushel; wheat, 10 cents per bushel; rice 1.7 cents per bushel. The 1940 Appropriation Act provided for those parity payments to be made on the live basic corps in 1940 if the 1939 average farm prices were less than 75 per cent of parity. Since the estimated J939 season average price for each kind of tobaeoo was above 75 por ctyit of parity, no price adjustment payments will be made on that crop in 1940. Officials Indicated that estimated increases in participation in 1940 compared with 1939 estimates are responsible for the somewhat lower rates of the parity payments for 1940. Resides the parity payments, farmers who cooperate in the 1940 AAA Farm Program, and plant within their acreage allotments, will receive agricultural conservation payments, at rates previously announced. Due to changes In the acreage allotments and normal yields, the 1940 rates will be applied to an approximately 12 per cent larger wheat production, 3 per cent larger cotton production, 3 per cent smaller corn production, and slightly larger rice production than were the 1939 rates. Can Make Woodland Crow Real Money Clemson. Feb 17.? -Al) over South Curolina are hundred a of thousands of acres of crowded young pine timber that needs attention while it Is growing If the owners are to receive satisfactory income from their woodland, says C. It Itoss, assistant forester of the Clemson extension service Fortunately, lie adds, farmers are showing increasing interest in the money-making possibilities of tree crops. "One form of attention to forest funning which experience shpws to be portltablo is thinning the stand of trees," Mr. ltoss states, citing the expevienco of one farmer in tho middle Piedmont. "This farmer has 60 acres of woods, | mostly pine, with low-grade oaks scattered throughout. The county agent und the extension forester examined this tract last year and found tho young pines so thick that there were over 900 per acre in some places, those dense young stands were badly in need of thinning, for these reasons: Many of the young pines were ltmby, rough, crooked, or defective and would never make good saw-timber. Many of the most valuable trees, those that were straightest and smoothest, wore being crowded out by the low-value trees. Very slow growth was being made by the stand because the trees wese ! too thick, and some were dying because of the crowding. "The owner proceeded to thin out some of the low-grade pines and oaks. He cut 55 cords of firewood, selling 30 cords at 14 .00 each, and using the other 25 cords on his farm. The total value of tho 55 oords can be figured at $225, which gave him a handy profit above the cost of tht? work. "But the immediate profit is hardly the most important thing," Mr. It ss concludes. "By making that thinning he put his timber stand in shape to grow more timber of higher qualify, because the promising, straigh:, smooth pines were given the room they needed to make better growth. Tho tall, smooth trees are the ones that grow into real money. French war planes sent to the aid of Finland have already scored a number of victories against Russia, French news sources report, French artillery also is said to be helping tho Finns.

COMMENTS ON MEN AND THINGS* (My Sp?u tjuori i Sonaiors Kdgjy A Jlrown of Marn-. well and J M Million of Monitor do1 well to remind the senate that the appropriation bill must not exceed expected revenue. Wo need a voice of authoritv, speaking the deep eonvlotion of the taxpayers, that e\ery Item in the appropriation hill could lie reduced twenty-five per cent without impairment of any essential obltgatlou of tlte state. We are trifling with the taxpayers for the sake of loyalties which should not control us in dealing with the people as a whole. George Washington and Abraham Lincoln faced great issues. All of us revere the memory of Washington-? many of us recall the generous humanity of Lincoln and tils readiness to welcome the south back into the union. In comparison with the eleven years of reconstruction Lincoln's Idea would have been like an Apostolic benediction. What I'm thinking of at the moment is this: Those men didn't play with and trifle with the presidency. Neither tried to outsmart others; the presidency loses la dignity as it becomes a i>olltlcal springboard. Would not it be refreshing to hear something like this: "I respect the traditions of our nation and shall gladly lay down this office, knowing that the processes of popular choice will bring to the office a man dedicated to the preservation of our liberties." Regardless of what anybody says or does, let's see to it that Demoncracy doesn't plunge us Into voluntary bankruptcy by acknowledging thai only one man is capable of guiding the nation which produced Washington, Jefferson. Jackson, Cleveland and Wlb son. Senator Smith is quoted as expressing himself against a third term for Mr. Roosevelt. The News and Courier makes much of the senator's remark and recalls the outspoken opposition of Colonel Wyndham Manning to a third term, for the president. Here and there people?politicians principally ? are gravely pondering the attitude of Mr. Roosevelt. Not being a politician I haven't much patience with all this fence-straddling. We have great traditions worthy of respect and .we should quietly assume that Mr. Roosevelt will lay down the duties of the presidency at the end of this term. Furthermore, the Democracy should bring out a man for the presidency who will be a Democrat. It is desirable that Democracy be defined and that Democracy stand or 'fall as Democracy. Just to win a race is nothing to be proud of If principles have been sacrificed for victory. The Democratic party should not he sold to any man or group, and It should win or lose on a platform of revitalized principles, soundly conceived and firmly adhered to. Surely there Is something worth more than winning an office. If victory alone is what counts then let us throw scruples and principles to the (Winds and mak^, victory our god; but if principle be'Our guide then let's recognize that there is such a thing u.s righteousness in political affairs and be guided by it. I would rather see our Democratic party right. In a hopeless minority, with a dozen senators and fifty representatives, than to be, as today, allied to numerous elements which contributed votes and money and are subverting the state itself. Senator Henry Sims challenges the general assembly to face the social security matter squarely; and he announces his purpose to propose an addition of nine hundred and fifty-one thousand dollars to the bill of two millions, now pending. I wish the senator would propose five million or ten million so as to let our people see the enormity of this extravagance. Once aroused the people might throw this whole thing overboard?"A consummation devoutly to be wished." Senator Ward says that the senate brought out a bill quickly so as to recommend a sum less than the house total, although the whole proceeding was a camouflage, according to the senator. I knew, of course, that there was somebody hiding In the woodpile, but I couldn't see him. Even so, It is better for the citizens to- see who It is that proposes the Increases. I have a suspicion that the bill In the senate will make good campaign material against those senators who vote for It. More than two hundred business men came to Columbia recently to attend a joint hearing on two bills?the first, to repeal the special tax on intangibles and tho second to control the punitive damage practice by which a man suffering damages of ten'dollars will sue for ten thousand If the defendant happens to be big and wealthy. It Is clear that If we are to have Justice It mnst he tho same for rich and poor. Spectator agrees that our tax on Intangibles Is the best of all the etates, but It seems to stand In the way of larger revenue. in other words, if by repealing the tax we can hope for mora revenue, than let us repeal it NOTICE OF SALE j Notice i? hereby given that in accordance with the terms and provls- 1 ions of the Decree of the Court of J Common Pleas for Kershaw County, J in the case of A.
