Rogers who is in charge AH members °* the ^' ot ^ on Reduction Campaign of McCormick County, assisted by E. A. McCormac, Agricultural Teacher of De la Howe, and Frank Corley, Agriculture Teacher of Farksville, ten meetings have been j held in the county to discuss with the farmers the details of the Cot ton Reduction Campaign. It is reported that the enthusiastic sup port of the Cotton Reduction Move ment was evident at each meeting. There was a total of around 700 farmers, both white and colored, attending these meetings. County Agent Rogers advises that field in spection will be started by the com mitteemen today. After the farmers make up their mihds that they wish to reduce their cotton acreage, the individual farmer should notify the county agent or one of the committeemen nearest to him. The committee men will not make a house to house campaign. Therefore it will be necessary for him to be notified as the farmer wishes for him to make an inspection. The committeemen who assist MR. CQTT0K-SR0WER Applications in examinations for the position of cotton census taker in the Third District must be on file with the U. S. Civil Service commission, at Washington not la- with this are as follows: ter than July 10, 1933, it has been Central Committee- announced from the local postoffice W. L. White, McCormick here. The announcement included a correction of the original an nouncement under the section “ex perience required.” That has to be stricken out and the following sub stituted: “PERSONS NOT ADMITTED TO EXAMINATION.—In view of the fact that the duties require person al contact and co-operation with all cotton ginneries, cotton consum ing establishments, and public storehouses in the district, applica tions will not be accepted from persons who, during the year next preceding the closing date for the receipt of applications, have been engaged in any capacity in the ownership or operation of a cotton ginnery, cotton mill, or cotton oil mill or in the business of buying and selling cotton or cotton seed.” The effect of this change is to strike out the requirement in the pieTlow announcement that appli cants must have had, within the past five years, at least two years experience in gnawing or ginning cotton or manufacturing cotton goods. The amendment does not change the list of counties for which the examination is to be held, but changes the closing date for the receipt of applications to JulylO. E. C. Jefferson, Meriwether. H. N.
