Cobb, chief of the cotton section. “I am confident that this will be done for the rea son that growers exhibited a high sense of loyalty and justice in meeting the difficult problems which' arose during the sign-up campaign.” Not only will local committeemen check carefully to see that the proper acreage of cotton is planted in 1934 and that the rented acre age is used as prescribed, but they will require that land of average productivity be taken from the cultivation of cotton. Any failure of whatever nature in fulfilling the terms of the contract will be stud ied to see if there has been any wilful evasion. Growers therefore may expect this check to be made. Mr. Cobb said the fine manner in which the growers had co operated with the adjustment ad- mifiistration led him to believe uhat only a very small percentage of the signers would attempt to evade any ofi the terms of the contract; yet, before the second rental benefit is made, full com pliance with the contract stipulo - tions must be certified to by local field workers. x Card Of Thanks Columbia, March 26.—Make your applications for production loans now, advises Ernest Graham, pres ident of the Production Credit Corporation of Columbia. In amplifying his statement, Mr. Graham explained that the entire Third District of the Farm Credit- Administration covering North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Florida is served by a network of 116 Production Credit Associa tions. These associations make loans for the production of general agricultural crops, livestock or poultry. “All we ask,” said Mr. Graham. “is that farmers apply to their lo cal associations promptly. We have competent representatives located near every farmer in this district who are prepared to handle appli cations with dispatch. We have added extra help in every office where it is required and the Inter mediate Credit Bank is working on. two shifts in order that notes en dorsed by local associations and submitted for discount may bt acted upon within a minimum pe riod of time. “In addition to extra help and x double shift in the Federal Inter mediate Credit Bank a traveling; field force has been organized which moves from association to association to straighten out any difficulties and prevent the ac cumulation of any backlog in ap plications. “We realize that the time when, farmers need production credit is upon us and we are prepared to give them service. Applications are coming in at the rate of about 500 daily, but as now organized, we can take care of 1,000 or more. “Production Credit Associations as now set up in the Third District can recommend notes for discount with the Intermediate Credit Bank up to approximately $25,000, assur ing worthy farmers ample credit for their production needs.” Card Of Thanks To all our friends, neighbors and loved ones who were the soul of loyalty and devotion during the illness and at the death of our precious daughter and sister, we wish to extend heartfelt thanks. May our Heavenly Father’s boun tiful blessings be yours always. Mr. and Mrs. D. C. Jennings And Sons.
