% ' Mrf&vvtmtk Number 5 Cotton Contract Signers Must Stake Out Rented Acres County Agent E. L. Rogers an nounces that he has been advised by the Washington Office, through Mr. R. W. Hamilton, Assistant Di rector of Extension, Clemson Col lege, S. C., that each Cotton Reduc tion Contract signer must definite ly stake out the rented acres. The rented acres must be staked out by putting stakes visible above the growing crops and a sufficient number of stakes that there will be no doubt about corners and boun daries of rented acres. The Contract Signer should measure the rented acres and also the planted acres of cotton. Com mitteemen, however, will measure all fields to see that specifications of the contract have not been vio lated. Mr. Rogers suggests that every contract signer familiarize himself with Part 1, “Performance by Producer,” on Page 1 of his copy of his Contract. This deals with the uses of rented acres.

Loans for crop production pur poses including the purchase of fertilizers and materials for top dressing may be made with a max imum allowance of $2.50 per acre, and secured by a first lien on the crops. The maximum allowance for loans to purchase feed for horses and mules is $4.00 per head per month; for cattle, $3.00; for sheep and goats, 75 cents; and foe hogs, $1.00.

Following his election to the rank of the nation’s top ranking radio singer, Bing Crosby makes his first appearance on the screen in Para mount’s “We’re Not Dressing,” which comes on Monday to the Abbeville Theatre. Crosby topped all other air per formers in the recent nation-wide poll of radio editors, conducted by the New York World-Telegram. His Paramount team-mate, Lanny Ross, who recently made his film debut in “Melody in Spring,” took second spot in the poll. In his latest picture, directed by Norman Taurog, Crosby is featured with Carole Lombard, George Burns and Grade Allen, Ethel Mer man and Leon Errol. The music was written by Mack Gordon and Harry Revel whose “Did You Ever See a Dream Walking?” and “You’re Such a Comfort to Me” were last season’s hits. “We’re Not Dressing” is an ad- venture-filmusical. It tells the story of a wealthy heiress who, with a company of sycophantic friends, is shipwrecked on a South Sea Island. With them, one of the sailors from the crew of her yacht, is cast ashore. On the Island, the company finds Bums and Allen, a I pair of nut-naturalists. How the I beautiful heiress learns to love the | sailor, and with his help turn the | shipwreck into good fortune, fur nishes the basis of an amusing lyrical story.

The southwestern portion of the state seems to be receiving the greatest amount of boll weevil damage, while the Pee Dee section has the smallest infestations. In the Piedmont section as many as Mrs. James W. Corley Succumbs To Illness shall be glad to give them to any one. Anyone on our relief rolls re fusing to work on farms or refus ing to do any kind of work at the prevailing wage scale, will be tak en from our relief rolls immediate ly if we are notified. C. K.

C. Net tles, extension entomologist, who advises that where individual farm conditions warrant the practice, applications of the dust be begun when 10 per cent of the squares are punctured. He warns growers a- gainst using more than the mini mum amount of dust recommended for boll weevil control (four to six pounds per acre) since certain of the lighter soils of the state arc subject to arsenical injury. “In the Piedmont, most of th' cotton is not too large for applica tions of the well known 1-1-1 mix ture. Farmers in the southwestern portion of the state are advised t< begin dusting as soon as possible and those of the Piedmont sectio v are advised to begin using sweeten ed poison at once since the time fo: its most effective application i' now rapidly passing.” Additional information on fight ing the boll weevil will be found ir Extension Circular 104, “BoD Weevil Control.” Mrs. Alice Henderson Fuller Cor ley, age 49, wife of Mr. James W.

Farmers’ cash income from mar ketings and benefit payments for the first five months of this year was $2,139,000,000 whereas during the same period last year the in come from marketings was $1,- 609,000,000 and there were no rent al or benefit payments. Of the cash income this year $2,019,000,- 000 was from marketings and $120,- 000,000 from benefit payments. Total benefit payments to May 31 included about $171,000,000 on cot ton; $28,000,000 on the emergency hog program; and $10,000,000 on tobacco. Although the rush of spring fi nancing for crop production has passed, the production credit asso ciations are continuing in their year-round business of supplying short-term credit. As the summer progresses, they are called upon to* make loans on livestock, for gen eral agricultural purposes, and the purchase of machinery and fans supplies which is expected to reach an even greater volume next falL Loans are dated to mature when the farmer-borrowers expect ts market their products. Of a total of more than $796,806,- 000 loaned by the Federal land, banks and Land Bank Commission er during the year ending June 1, 1934, $710,950,000 was used by bor rowers to refinance their indebted ness. During the year nearly 320,- 000 of such loans were closed. A- bout $47,550,000 was used for the purchase of Jand and equipment^ the construction or improvement ol buildings, and for general agricul tural uses, while the balance, about $38,300,000 was used for other pur poses, such as the redemption or repurchase of land previously fore closed. While the income of tobacco far mers has been doubled, increasing from 107 million to 214 million dollars, as a result of the coopera tion of tobacco farmers under the provisions of the AAA, farmers need a still larger share of the to tal tobacco income on a perma nent basis, according to J. B. Hut son, Chief of the Tobacco Section of the Agricultural Adjustment Administration, who explains that the tobacco program was planned with two purposes in view—to help tobacco growers increase their in comes, and to assist other branches of the industry in eliminating un fair and uneconomical practices which tend to reduce the incomes of growers and of others rendering essential service. -IXt Although most glaciers are shrinking, some are advancing.
