X $710.97 Worth Wool Sold Last Week WEDNESDAY, June 28, Only Kay Francis and George in Brent “THE KEY HOLE’ THURSDAY, June 29th, Only Lee Tracy and Una Merkel in “CLEAR ALL WIRES” Shows: 3:15; 7:15; 9:M Daily The price of wool, in keeping with other raw products of the farm, is much higher than at this time last year. County Agent E. L. Rogers made a co-operative sale one day last week of 2950 pounds of wool for 18 sheep growers. This amount of wool brought the sheepmen $710.97. Of the total amount, 1116 pounds was classified as clean wool which brought 26 cents per pound. The balance was burry wool which sold for 23 cents per pound. These prices were cash f. o. b. McCormick. I .The sale was made to a North Car- oJl£« bujfet 3f the squares already put on were punctured. Fields examined that had not been poisoned averaged 8 1-2 per cent punctured squares, while fields that had had two applica tions of sweetened poison averaged 4-10 of one per cent punctures. It would be well to carefully examine the cotton in different parts of the fields and use the 1-1-1 poison (1 gallon water, 1 gallon molasses, and 1 pound calcium arsenate) where weevil infestation reaches 8 to 10 per cent. It is true that cotton does not bring as much per pound as we would like, but it was planted with the expectation of realizing some cash for it, so why not kill as many weevils as possible now while it can be done comparatively easily. It is true that sometimes good yields are made on a few farms when no poison is used, but on the average the farmer who uses sweet ened poison two to three times at 5 to 7 day intervals makes more cotton than his neighbor who does not poison. E. L. ROGERS, County Agent. McCormick, S. C. Washington School gave a play Friday night, June 9th. The play was excellent. Each of the par ticipants did well. There were many present who could not be ac commodated. Sunday morning, Rev. J. O. Smith, of Clemson College, deliver ed an inspiring address. He spoke to the senior class on the necessity of disciplining one’s self, of sacrific ing daily, in order to succeed in any vocation. The address was en joyed by all present. Monday evening, Mr. E. W. Har dy, dean of Junior College, Augusta, Ga., delivered the literary address. He spoke both to patrons and the senior class. He mentioned the apparent lack of interest on the part of the public to support edu cation. Mr. Hardy plead with the patrons to put the education of the boys and girls first and foremost. In speaking to the seniors, Mr. Hardy praised them for the neces sary efforts they had put forth in order to receive high school diplo mas. He assured them, however, that they should continue their training. Mr. Hardy stated that we should learn to live, and not merely to make a living. The four year scholarship medal was awarded to Josephine Parks. Mr. Hardy, who is a class mate and friend of Mr. Arch Talbert, the donor of this medal, presented the medal. The officials, friends and pupils of Washington School ap preciate very much the interest and good will of Mr. Talbert, who has given the scholarship medal for several years. Yearly honor roll.

FOURTH GRADE— Hortense Cartledge, 1, l Phylis Williams, 2, CLEMSON COLLEGE, June 20.— “The present cotton surplus must be wiped out.” “That, in effect, is our immediate concern,” says Cully A. Cobb, in charge of administering the Agri cultural Adjustment Act as it ap plies to cotton, to Dr. W. W. Long, director of the Extension Service, which is charged with conducting the work in South Carolina. “The surplus of cotton accumulated through years of good crops and ac centuated by reason of the world wide depression stands like an im penetrable barrier on the road to better prices for the cotton grow er.” This surplus, it is explained, be gan to accumulate back in 1929 when the carry-over of American cotton in the world was some 4, 500,000 bales. By August 1932, the carry-over had reached the total of 13,000,000 bales. And in that year a 13,000,000 bale crop was produced making a supply of 26,000,000 bales This year, 1933 indications are now for an excellent crop and the low rate of consumption promises an other huge carry-over to add to the crop being grown. There has been some rise in the price cf spot cotton recently due to various factors but always ther looms in the background a surplus above present needs. For this rea son, cotton growers are urged to re place with soil-building crops some of the cotton now growing. Govern ment officials estimate that be tween two and three million bales must be removed from production this season in the effort to reduce the surplus existing. To remove this cotton will mean a greater prosperity for the Southern farmer. The removal will not be regarded as a sacrifice when it is fully un derstood that the Government plans to pay each co-operating grower a fair rental for the land taken from the production of cot ton and will also give him an op tion on as much cotton as he re moves, thus assuring him of hav ing his usual amount of cotton to sell this fall without the further expense of producing part of it.
