Production of a cotton crop of approximately 11,500,000 bales which will bring supplies into still closer line with prospective de mand, help to sustain prices, and secure the largest possible income Scr growers, is the objective of the 1935 cotton program of the Agri cultural Adjustment Administra tion. Probable carry-over on August 1, 1935, prospective demand for A- 'merican cotton both in the United States and in foreign countries, and the price situation, were care fully studied in the effort to de- i termine the size of crop which would return the largest possible income to cotton producers. It is the opinion of Cully A. Cobb, chief of the cotton division of the AAA that a crop of 11,500,000 bales will return to producers greater to tal income than either a larger or a smaller.crop would return. Pro ducers who make the full 35 per cent adjustment will receive larger rental payments, will have more land available for the production of food and feed crops, and will have lower total production costs. Mr. Cobb says that individual al lotment bases will have to be as nearly as possible 65 per cent of base period production to conform with the national Bankhead allot ment for 1935 and producers should make their plans accordingly in order to avoid the necessity of purchasing exemption certificates or paying the tax. 1 This means a reduction of 35 per cent. The 1935 Bankhead allotment of 10,500,000 500-pound bales will be slightly less than 11,000,000 473- pound bales. Outstanding 1934 Bankhead certificates should en able producers to gin, tax-free, enough additional cotton to make a liotal of 11,500,000 bales. ing since the latter part of Decem ber, would be closed. All schedules and other farm data has been shipped to Washington, where tab ulation will be made and results announced. Preliminary figures showed that Anderson county farms decreased from 8,200 in 1930 to 7,918 in 1935, a loss of 282. In a final statement Mr. Tillman .said: _ ' “We have enumerated in the dis trict 32,768 farms in the nine coun ties. This is a falling off of 911 farms, because the census five year- ago showed 33,679. Our results in tabulated form for the different counties in the district are as fol lows: 1935 McCormick 1816 Newberry 3425 Edgefield 2834 Oconee 4035 Pickens 3725 Greenwood 2803 Saluda 3007 Anderson 7918 Abbeville 3205 \ 1930 1813 3334 2724 4438 3696 308^ 2987 8200 3403 FORD •X yV* ■ X' - y-, r / » / >■/ ..y *■ /s >' </ - u > . / / '4*» X v , 1 / s% * y* *§%>•«- ■•'vi mm#*.

A Class By Itself THERE is no way to compare the Ford V-8 with any ether car because there is no other car like it. The Ford enables you to step up into the fine-car class in per formance, beauty, comfort and safety. But there is no stepping up in price. That is kept down by Ford low-profit policies and unique manufacturing methods. These are as different as the car itself. It takes eight cylinders to give the modern performance you need these days. The Ford is powered by a V-8 — the finest type of eight-cylinder engine. You have to pay more than $2000 for that in any other car.

Starkey. 2hief animal husbandman, says :hat if choice lambs are produced the demand will doubtless further increase. Towards better quality lambs Prof. Starkey makes these sugges tions: Lambs should be docked and castrated when seven to 14 days of age. The longer these operations are delayed the greater will be the* shock. As the weather gets warm er there is also a chance for flies to infest the wounds. Since the screw worm is becoming a greater pest in this area it is doubly im- p rtant to do the docking and castrating before warm weather. The unfinished or thin lamb is the rule rather than the exception in the South. Frequent change of WANTED—Man with car. pasture, more legumes in pasture, and creep-feeding should do much to put our lamb industry on a bet ter basis.
