C., THURSDAY, AUGUST 9, 1934 Four Paces Number 10 Cotton Farmers Must Apply For Tax Ex emption Certificates In order for cotton farmers to be able to sell their allotment under the Bankhead Act, it is absolutely necessary that every farmer make application for tax exemption cer tificates. The county will not be given an allotment until every farmer, whether he signed a cotton reduction contract or not, has made this application. The closing date for receiving applications is not known at this time, however, I would urge that application be made as soon as possible. Land lords will make application for themselves and their share-crop pers. For the convenience of.far mers, committeemen have been appointed for their respective communities as follows: Clarks Hill and Meriwether, F. L. • Middleton, Modoc, H. W. Bailey, ParksviUe, J. R. Cartledge,. Plum Branch, C. E. Wilkie, McCormick, J. C. Corley, Rehoboth, E. M. Morgan, Bethany and Mt. Vernon, Y. E Seigler, Troy and Youngs, T. J. Sibert, Upper End of County, Luther Dansby, Willington and Bordeaux, J. M. Hemminger, - Mt. Carmel, L. L. Hester. These committeemen t will not canvass their communities. It will be necessary that application be made direct to them. Applications for Bankhead allotment have been partially made out in the county office for those who signed cotton reduction contracts. These par ticular producers will be notified as to which committeeman has his application for Bankhead allotment and what day to see the commit- % teeman. E. L. Rogers, County Agent. McCormick, S.

The State, Aug. 3. The South Carolina highway commission, meeting, yesterday morning in the conference room on the second floor of the State Office building, definitely approved the proposal for the construction of two bridges over the Savannah river between South Carolina and Georgia. One of the bridges, according to tentative plans, would be between Allendale and Sylvania, Ga., and the other between McCormick and Lincolnton, Ga. Concerning the action taken as to the proposed bridges over the Savannah, it was announced that actual construction would be au thorized as soon as funds were ob tained for the purpose. Under the proposed plans the cost of the two bridges would be shared equally by Georgia and South Carolina. Officials estimat ed that the Allendale bridge would cost $450,000 and the McCormick span about $282,000, South Caro lina’s share of each to be about one-half of those amounts. The only details hindering actual building of the bridges are fi nances. Likely the two states will investigate the possibility of ob taining government funds in the proposed construction. The Georgia board has already gone on record as approving the construction of the two bridges. x Land Uses Survey Be Shown Farmers’ Week Clemson College, Aug. 4.—A com- and | plete unit of the soils laboratory of family spent Sunday with Mr. and i the South Carolina Land Uses Sur- Mrs. Frank Hodges. x— SATURDAY, AUG. 11, ONLY SLIM SUMMERVILLE and ZASU PITTS IN “THE LOVE BIRDS” MON..

X Marketing Products Stressed On Program Clemson College, August 4.—“The marketing of farm products will have an important place on this year’s program,” says Dr. W. W. Long, chairman of Farmers’ Week Committee, “for it is realized that production is only half the battle in successful farming. In fact, we know that success in marketing must begin with production of the ight quantity and quality of prod ucts in demand.” Included in the discussions bear ing on marketing will be factors in marketing sweet potatoes, grading fruits and vegetables for market roadside markets, marketing agree ments, and general marketing problems. These various angles of marketing will be handled by George E. Prince, chief of the Ex tension Service division of mar kets, and his assistants, and by Miss Jane Ketchen, marketing spe cialist of the state home demon stration forces. For a special discussion of mar keting agreements for fruits and vegetables under the Agricultural Adjustment Act Mr. Prince has se cured M. G.
