Under the direction of County
Aeent E. L. 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.

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.
