The South Pole, which hae been only “twice attained, is the objective of Commander Richard E. Byrd in the moot carefully planned voyage of ex ploration ever made. Commander Byrd ia departing from New York in hi* Antarctic, ship, the Samson, accompanied by fifty-flve vohinttea, among them such heroes of the air ao Bemt Balchen. Thomas Mulfoy and Harry I. June. Commander Byrd is taking three planes with him. He believes the Antarctic can be conquered by the air plane just as the Arctic has been con quered. He has also purchased for the venture an* iron freighter, the Chelsea, which is in New Zealand. The Chalsea will be used mainly to trans port the supplies. After leaving New Zealand Byrd will estblish a base on the Rossr Ice Barrier, about 1,000 miles from the pole. A self-supporting settlement will be established here and the Sam son will be sent back to New Zealand to prevent the loss of her by crushing in the ice. Byrd will establish bases from the Barrier to the Pole, 100 miles apart from each other, to be used in case of emergency. When the bases have been laid, Byrd will fly toward the Pole in his trt-motored monoplane named after Floyd Bennett.

Torn, of the United States Department of Agriculture, with headquarters at Sumter, wa«* in Barn well Thursday making arrangements for the government to study the grade and staple of cotton and was success ful in inducing the Farrmins Ginnery, which is owned and operated by B. S. Moore, Sr., to cooperate. The object that the government hopes to accomp lish by this study js to get the farmers of this section to produce cotton of a sufficient staple kfigth and grade that will be suitable to the requirements of the mills in this arjd adjoining States. Congress ha* authorized and direct ed the Secretary of Agriculture to make anti publish three or more ee timates of the grad*., staple length, ami tenderability of the cotton crop as it is ginned. Thi* work is being conducted by the Bureau of Agricultural Economics, United State* Department of Agricul tuiv. through i* Division o* Cotton Marketing. Estimates of the grade, staple, ar^d tenderability of the cotton produced were made last year for the State of Georgia and a selected area farther west, including 27 ^ijacent counties in Texa* and Oklahoma. This year the work h being expanded to cover the entire Cotton Belt, following the satisfactory outcome of last yifir’s ex perience in reporting the grade and staple length for the areas mentioned. The service will be conducted in co operation with the land-grant colleges, the agricultural experiment station*, anfl the extension service of the cot ton-producing States. The report will be issued monthly, as was the case last season—beginning in October and ending in April.. These reports will show the percentage of the various grades and staple lengths produce^. The amount of cftttnn 9l| Mi.Uuil likiUtuib of Imluklilal ltfi= cqntacts with ginners and cotton growers throughout the season. Ar rangements will be madci with approx imately 1,500 representative gins throughout the cotton States. The samples submitted to each field office will be classified immediately, and daily reports will be submitted in cqde to tho Washington headquarters. A system has been developed which will make it impossible for any indi vidual, either in the field or at the Washington headquarters, to know or conjecture the total figuras- in -Aka- final report. The report will be issued only fioin Washington at sn hour and date spe* ified in advance. The Bureti of Agricultural Econo- rrrs, through its Division of Cotton Marketing, is rial ng at the same tin e a stud of th« qualities of cotton required by .he r.Idsf of the United States. Thj object of the two pro tects is to supply information which will benefit grower* by enabling them tc plan the quality of their produc tion, so far as may be consistent with their growing conditions, in such a way as to profit most from the market demand. f STATEMENT Of the Financial Condition of . the Commissioners of Public Works ct Barnwell for the Quarter Ending June 30th, 1928: Receipts $4,765.54 Paid out— Postage $11.04 John Eve 9.00 P.
