Had it not been fWr the plow-up campaign and the flue spirit of cooperation exhib ited by southern growers, disaster would have befallen the Cotton Belt in the fall of 1933. The above graph tells this better than words. A poten tial yield of seventeen and one-half million ha’.es was i.deced to thir teen and ofie-tentb million bi/ies by the action of the Agricultural Ad justment Administration and. as a result, the income that the cotion grower received from his lint cotton was naarly doubled. Realizing these fa-ts. cotton growers are expressing a desire to cooperate In future ad justment programs. il Champions Crowned at 4*H- Club Co vA Leadership, Home Bconomics and Corn Champions . . .

The officials said the reduction In state, county and school ex penses amounted to $10,570,039 or about 32 per cent over a period of three years. They pointed out that state appropriations for 1931 to- * taled $10,371,762; for 1932, $9,255,- 343, and for 1933 (18 months), $9 ,043,790, Counties appropriations for the three years were, respect ively, $7,359,613, $6,355,029 and $5,218,380. Expenses of schools for the three years were $14,686,238, $12,314,266 and an estimated $10,- 600,000, respectively. Total expenses for the three years, according to the statement, were for 1931, $32,- 417,613; for 1932, $27,924,598, and for 1933, 12 months basis, $21,847,- 74. , **lt is not probable that next year . the total reductions can be in pro portion to those made as shown above though some counties are still high in proportion to the aver age,” the officials said. “The prob lem now is to hold those gains in economies. Then too there are signs of reactions under the guise of responding to the national pol icy of a great public works program to be participated in by the state and the several counties and cities through funds got by bond issues or other long-time obligations. The word is passed around that the fed eral government will in the-course of time take over these obligations' co that the state, counties and cit ies can safely vote these bonds now. Of course these assurances on the side are not authorized; in fact rccretary Ickes November 13 dis- ■"'icced the public works engineer o?

Strickland and'' daughters, who are moving here this week from Plum Branch, where Rev. Strickland was .serving as pastor of two or three Methodist churches, when he was super annuated by the last Methodist conference. The Stricklands occupy he residence on Jennings Street lust recently vacated by Rev. E. Joyner and family. This dwelling and lot which lie on the opposite corner cf Jennings Street from The Standard office and are known as the Lwitcer home were recently do nated to the Methodist conference I by Mrs. Smtctr to be used a$’a f home for a super-armuated minLs- ter. . . , Saludans are Indeed glad that Rev. Strickland was the .choice of the conference to be sent here to ave, for he Ls well known and much admired by a host of Saluda Coun ty people by reason of his having } served as pastor of Nazareth and Rehcbeth Churches in the eastern part of the county for a period of four years when he was on the Leesville circuit just prior to his Plum Branch assignment. Origin ally from Walterboro in Colleton County, Rev. Strickland has been a faithful and active minister of the Gospel in the Methodist church for a period of 36 years as regular pas- or of charges. Of his long and ar- .luous labors as a minister it can oe truly said, “Well done thou good md faithful servant.” Saluda is proud to have him as me of her citizens, and it is pecul- arly fitting that ho has been uper-annuated to live almost vithin a stone's throw of hundreds >f people among whom he lived md labored during his long minis- ry. The Saluda Standard is partic ularly glad to welcome Rev. Strick- and inasmuch as he is our nearest rext-dcor neighbor. / Rev. Joyner and family have oc cupied the house which was the rome of Claude Adams until re cently, and he is still a very near ’eighber cf The Standard, we are delighted to say. Mr. Adams and children, in view of the recent death of Mrs. Adams, have moved into the home of his mother, next door to the Saluda Hotel. Card of Thanks . We wish to express our sincere thanks to each and every cnc fo~ their kindness during the death cf our dear son and brother, and for the beautiful floral offerings. Mr. and Mrs. W. T.
