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.

County Agent.

to serve Him more faithfully. Miss

ENROLLMENT.
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.

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. Meal, a marketing spe
cialist of the AAA, Washington, D.
C., who is on the program at 8, It is about as near confiscation, in

Charlotte, N. C., Aug. 6.—Federal
taxes cost motor vehicle owners in
1933 exactly $74,275,120 more than
the federal government spent upon
highways in the same period, ac
cording to an analysis made by
Coleman W. Roberts, president of
the Carolina Motor Club. In fact
Federal expenditures for highways
$182,942,397 barely exceeded the

tions, $181,125,987. *

$257,217,517 in 1933, as follows:
Gasoline $181,125,987; automo
biles and motorcycles $22,475,888-
lubricating oil $22,289,624; tires and
