Dear Sir: ,
Through the funds made avail
able by the Emergency Relief Con

Federal aid, there will be some
highway work in your vicinity.
The Act provides that all labor
employed by the contractor, except
for supervision and for operation
of power equipment requiring skill
ed operators, shall be employed
from local residents as far as avail
able, preference being given to
available ex-service men who have
dependents. Where lists of avail
able laborers are furnished the
contractor by officially recognized
local, state and federal employment
agencies, such list shall be given
preference in the selection of em
ployees.
Contracts will be awarded Au
gust 31, 1932, to extend throughout
the winter months. We, therefore,
urge you to secure the names of all
i ex-service men who can meet «.h3
| above requirements, and have them
j register with us at once as we pro-
w
La. «
pose to see that the regulations are
carried out.
If you cannot do this, please have
your Adjutant or Service officer
take this responsibility as it will
be rendering a needed service in
the war against depression.
* Your co-operation is earnestly
desired and will have the thanks of
this office and the Legion officials
of this state.
Very truly yours,
GEORGE M. PERCIVAL,

Reporter.
CLEMSON COLLEGE, Aug. 22.—
“Farm prices stood at 57 per cent
on July 15 as compared tc 100 per
cent during the five-year pre-war
period,” says D. W. Watkins, exten
sion economist.' This is a rise of
five points above June 15 prices of
farm products which then stood at
52 per cent of pre-war. Perhaps
no one now living ever saw the time
when farm products would buy as
little of other things as was the
case in June. Hence the improve
ment that has occurred comes like
a welcome shower after a long
drought. The chief cause for ela
tion, however, lies in the hope that
the bottom has been reached and
that the future will see gradual
improvement or at least a cessation
of the sickening drop in buying
power of farm products. It wiil be
necessary for better farm prices to
continue through a number of mar
keting seasons before farm buying
power will be back to normal. In
the meantime city people who de
mand and buy local or state grown
produce are doing themselves a fav
or, assuming quality and price are
equal to that of outside commodi
ties.
Good increases have been experi
enced in hogs, eggs, cotton ,and
cattle, due to smaller supplies in
prospect and in storage. For ex
ample, eggs in storage on July 1
amounted to 6,340,000 cases as com
pared with 9,507,000 cases a year
ago and a five-year average of 9,-
865,000 cases. With lew priced
small grains it looks like a fairly
good year ahead for experienced
egg producers. Less beef and pork
are also in storage than a year ago
or than the five-year average.
With prices declining the storing
of foods has been unprofitable but
if the trend now turns upward with
prices improving between the time
of storage and the time of market
ing, profits in the business of stor
ing will encourage buying for stor
age. This will tend to bring relief
from extremely low prices during
periods of seasonal surpluses.
Cotton at about 59 per cent of
pre-war is by no means high
enough to justify abandoning the
program of self-sufficiency that
has been gaining real headway in
this state during recent years. Last
year’s crop at $30 per bale amount
ed to more than the estimate of
this crop at $40 per bale by about
six million dollars foi^South Caro
lina. It is hoped that one cf the
lessons that recent experiences
have indelibly impressed upon
South Carolina agriculture is the
advantage of reasonable self-suffi
ciency in connection with the pro
duction of foods and feeds and the
upbuilding of our soil fertility.

Population Movement
The United States Department of
Agriculture estimates that 1,472,00C*
persons left farms for towns and
cities in 1931, and that 1,679,000
persons moved farmward. The gain
in number of persons living on
farms was 648,000. For the year
1930 it was estimated that 1,766,000
persons moved from cities to farms
and 1,727,000 persons moved from
farms to cities—these two move
ments almost balancing each other.
There was a slight decrease in the
number of persons going to farms
in 1931, and a considerable decrease
in the number going to cities.
