Carmel News Citizens Respond To License Drive COLUMBIA, Oct. 22.—Ben R. Stroup, director of the motor ve hicle division of the state highway department, said here today that residents of the McCormick section of South Carolina had responded splendidly in the department’s early sale of 1934-35 motor vehicle licenses. Tags must be purchased and dis played before November 1 for own ers to avoid payment of a penalty or a fine. Since the licenses were placed on '•ale early this month, the depart ment has received many more ap plications than it had received at corresponding time last year. In the past week, the advance sale has been particularly heavy. Stroup said that he believed the ready re sponse was because of the half-price tags and because times were better throughout the state. All motor vehicles of the state must display 1934-35 licenses by No vember 1. All renewal licenses ourchased after that date can be secured only by payment of a pen alty. Drivers of tag-less vehicles are subject to arrest and fine. Again this week inspectors and ; patrolmen of the state highway de partment are in all sections of ; South Carolina to assist vehicle i owners in the purchase of the new licenses.

Deyqtiqnals, by president. Roll call and reading of the minutes by the secretary, Mrs. D. J. McAllister. Several selections read by mem bers. As cheese making was to be the demonstration for the afternoon, the meeting was turned over to Mrs. Stallworth. While different preparations were being made, the president made out the hostess roll for the year’s page. We all found the demonstration very interesting and not difficult, and the cheese looked so pretty we think many will make cheese. During the pleasant recreational and social hour which we always have, Mrs. D. J. McAllister and Mrs. R. J. McAllister served two kinds of sandwiches and iced tea. During the meeting we had a discussion about the coming coun cil meeting at Bordeaux the latter oart of the month. We hope Mt. Carmel will have 100 per cent at tendance if possible.

The singing met at the honr. of A sweeping elimination of cases in which two or more members of a single family received federal re lief work went into effect last Fri day by order of Fred M. Baker, state relief administrator. The administrator said the pur pose of a ruling from his office to this end was to “extend the bene fit of relief funds to cover as many different families as possible.” The result, he affirmed, has been “to enable us to put quite a few other people to work in administra tive and other positions.” The order, promulgated October 6, was sent to the 46 county relief administrators and directors of all statewide research and clerical employment projects. It directed that where “double work” was being given, “correct the practice not later than the end of the following payroll week.” Ex plaining the basis for the action, the order set forth: “It appears that there are re curring instances of two persons in a family or within the same house hold receiving relief funds. Such, practice is contrary to the policies of the South Carolina emergency relief administration and is defi nitely to be discontinued. “This ruling affects every branch or activity being financed with FERA funds, including administra tive staff workers, transient de partment, statewide projects;* and so on. The spirit of this is to en able us to extend the benefit of re lief funds to cover as many differ ent families as possible. “In putting this into effect, please retain those persons who can. qualify to the greatest degree of need and efficiency. In employingr new workers, please make every ef fort to see that our rolls have been carefully examined in an effort to* secure people who are in need and who must, at the same time, have the ability to perform the duties- covered by the position.” Attached to the order were copies of a questionnaire to be filled out by all fulltime workers on relief projects. It required information from each as to whether relatives, or others in the same household were on relief rolls. Develops New Control Weevils In Seed Com CLEMSON COLLEGE, Oct. 20.— Dusting sulphur has proven to be a uniformly successful control for - rice weevils in seed corn in experi ments during the past two seasons by the South Carolina Experiment- Station, says O. L. Cartwright, as sociate entomologist. This new treatment has the added advan tage, he states, of being non-pois- onous to animals in case the treat ed corn should be needed for or- accidentally fed to chickens and stock. Complete control of the weevil was obtained by thoroughly mix ing one to two ounces of dusting sulphur with each bushel of shell ed corn. Corn thus treated, sack ed, and stored for over a year was found to be completely protected. Mr. Cartwright suggests that farmers give this treatment a trijjl and further that seed corn be se lected from well developed ears having long tight shucks, shucks. extending at least two inches be yond the tip of the ear, as recom mended in South Carolina Experi ment Station Bulletin 266, “TTie Rice Weevil in Relation to Shuck: Lengths”. Long tight shucks of fer the only known control for weevils in the field before harvest, and this character should too sought and developed in good corn. “Select seed corn now, as it fs harvested, and protect it with dust ing sulphur”, Mr. Cartwright ad vises. /•
