D. Smith, of South Carolina announces that the agriculture department has agreed that the acceptance of cotton on the basis of eight cents per pound as collateral on seed loans will not alone apply on future deliveries, bat will be retroactive on all de liveries made this season. In oth er words all cotton that has been delivered together with that as yet prill be delivered will be credited on the farmers account at eight cents per pound, less t&e propeiycleijiic-^ for six months canta^fcharg- es, such as insurance, storage, etc. When the seed loan borrower has delivered sufficient cotton on the basis of eight cents per pound he will be permitted to sell the, re mainder of his crop without any •additional payment on his seed Joan. It is to be understood that When the cotton is finally disposed of if it should bring a price that Would show an amount in excess of We loan the balance will be remit ted to the farmer. If it should be sold' for less than eight cents per pound it would be charged against the farmer. This is the result of a confer ence cklled by senator Smith with Dr. Warburten department of agri culture, Mr. U. B. Blalock, president of the American Cotton Co-opera tive Association, and Mr. E. F. Creekmore several weeks ago. McCORMICK MESSENGER, McCORMICK, SOUTH CAROLINA REHOBOTII NEWS The semi-annual meeting of the council of farm women met at Mt. Carmel, October 31. There were representatives from almost every club; something over 200 present. Our party went on a school bus and such a jolly time we did have on the trip, and when we finally ar rived at our destination the smil- ing faces that me^ us gave such a welcome that we at once felt at home. B\jt when Miss Lennie Covin spoke her hearty and beau tiful welcome we felt as if we had come to visit old acquaintances. The lovely church was most art istically decorated wi^h Boston ferns, to me the most beautiful fern, and giant Oxalis with pink blooms agaihst the green foliage was simply a picture of lovliness. But that was no^ all the lovely flowers—there were yellow and m •h fit Buy Telephone Bond and Share First Preferred for Safety.

Instead of serving the same type jof menu day after day, introduce a little variety in plan, yet have the kinds of food need ed for a bal anced diet. If you have been ac customed to serving a fruit for des sert and a s|archy vegetable with the meat, have a fruit appetizer and a starchy dessert, for a change. For example, cantaloupe for the appetizer, or fruit cup, and- hot gingerbread with or without prpam, for dessert.

I am proud of the farm women of McCormick County. The most of them are fine looking, they dress well for the times, are alive to club work, not afraid or ashamed of work, and are good cooks and housekeepers. We were all happy t o have our beloved agent with us, after an illness. We have one of the finest women in South Caro lina for our council president. She is capable to handle the situation well. Mrs. Hendrix made fine res ponse to the hearty welcome. Rev. Leon T. Pressly, pastor of the church, also added to the welcome. He says he doesn’t know who is Baptis t or Methodist—that is the way God wants his children to live .—as Christians and not denomina tions. The morning service was taken up with an address—hot beds, cold frames and rooting plants by Mr. E. A. McCormac. This was much enjoyed by all. The rest of the morning was taken up in the won derful club reports, all splendid, with much congratulating to Beth any for winning the savel. Music has a place everywhere. We were very much favored by sweet music so well rendered by Rev. and Mrs. Virgil Dean. As they sang the last song “Face to Face” the at tentive audience must have been something like heaven, where there is peace, joy and harmony, too it also reminded me tha t some day each of us must meet our maker face to face. How thankful we should be that God spares us time to get ready to meet Him face to face. Some are letting the oppor tunity pass. Tha t Godly mother cannot shield her children there; she can only stand for herself there. I noticed where some one said they saw nothing to be thank ful for the- past few years. How ungrateful to God for His outpour ing blessings, ungratefulness for His blessings and failing, to give t o God’s cause the tenth He requires of his children, I believe has caus ed much of this depression. Of course we all love and enjoy having Miss Tarrant with us. Her address was lovely on music. She advised the mothers to sing softly to their children. Her mother must have sung sweetly and softly to her; she has such a sweet voice. Not the least on programme was the noon hour. The school room where the lunch was served was decorated for Hallowe’en. Club girls dressed in Hallowe’en colors helped serve the lunch. There were also lovely flowers on the tables. The presidents were asked to eat at a table with the agent and council officers and the preachers and their wives. There were three preachers there. The Mt. Carmel people make fine hostesses and we hope to meet there again sometime. We are looking forward to meeting with the historic Long Cane Church at the spring meeting. The president was not hard on, us for her goal for the clubs, jus^ encouraged us and pointed out a few things we should do and a few honors we might aspire to. The Rehoboth community enjoy ed an Hallowe’en party sponsored by the H. D. Club and W. M. S. The decorations were beautiful. Ghosts, wiches and other hortdble things met the guests and caused a scream from fhe children who were not used to such things. The games were fine and fortune tell ing enjoyed. The dining room w»s the most beautiful place. A witch stood guard of the table where ap ples, popcorn and candy were serv ed, as hogs teeth and bloody bones. No more news and mail here.
