Farabow in Farmers’ Week Will Be Full and Variec Program .Offers .Farm People Other Citizens Excellent Menu ~ of Good Things. and Clemscn College, June 2.—With prominent visitors, including Assist ant Secretary of Agriculture Rex Tugwell, Dr. Frank Bohn, Senator James F. Byrnes, and perhaps Secre tary of Agriculture Henry A. Wallace, and with a well balanced general pro gram in the making, Clemson College Farmers’ Week will offer farm people and other citizens an excellent menu of good things this year, says Dr. W W. Long, director of the Extension Service, who is chairman of-the Farm ers’ Week committee. The big gath ering, which wilf be hetrt August H- 17, is the first since 1929 and special effort will be made by all depart ments of the college to make it real success. In general plan, says Dr. Long, this year’s Farmers’ Week will be similar to those held in previous years. Each day will be a five-sided feast of good things: (1) General meetings with addresses and music for inspira tion, (2) classes or instruction on all charge; District 6, Rock Hill, office of in N. Quality Store, D. L. Rice District 7, Spartanburg, Main Street, D. M. Bullington in charge, and District 8, Greenville, Fointsett Hotel, Grady Miller in charge. Mr. Mims said considerable confus ion had resulted in the registration of tfce trucks due to the use of the ex pression "For Hire.’’ "This should really be ‘for compen- aation* since the code provides that anyone operating a truck for pay comes under the code,” said Mr. Mims. ‘Tor instance, a merchant may sell a certain article in Columbia for $10. But delivered to a town 26 miles a- way, he charges $10.50, the difference being purely a transportation charge. I lines of farm and home activities, (3) practical demonstrations, (4) recrea tion for relaxation and amusement, (6) evening program for entertain ment. “Past Farmers’ Weeks were real boong to farm people, thousands who came have testified, and the State’s agricultural college is now ready to re peat this great service to the people. With new facts and ideas to stimu late, new visions to inspire, new friendships to elevate, new scenes to give pleasure, the occasion should be a delightful outing and vacation as well as a profitable course of instruc tion,” says Dr. Long, urging every body to make plans to come. on aPmodels of Chevrolet ^passenger cars and trucks Reductions amount to as much as *50 on some models \ / ' ■ ' / C HEVROLET’S reduced prices reflect in dramatic fashion the record-breaking demand that, month after month, is keeping Chevrolet first in sales.
