Cobb, director of the Division of Cotton. “In favorable crop years”, he says, the operation of the program serves to keep down burdensome and excessive supplies of cotton which would depress the market, thus providing, in effect, actual in surance to producers against such prices as prevailed in the 1931-32 and 1932-33 seasons. “In unfavorable crop years”, pro ducers who suffer the loss of a por tion of their crop through uncon trollable causes receive adjustment payments on rented acres, and parity payments on their produc tion quotas, just the same as if they had had normal crops. In addition, they receive an income from the sale of their surplus tax- exemption certificates. Contracting producers whose cotton crops were flooded this year will receive the same sort of crop insurance a r = those whose cotton crops suffered [from the drought last year. “Most of the $26,000,000 distribu ted from the sale of surplus tax- exemption certificates last year went to growers in the drought ercas, and these sales -of certifi- elcs helped save the day fer them. ‘ Poth and buyer foonefitted ** the sale and purchase of the rtificates. The seller was able to dd to his cash income. The buyer vrs able to buy tax-exemption rrrtiflcatcs at 4 cents a pound and did not have to pay the 5.6 cents a pound ginning tax under the Bankhead Act.” ^ S. C.

The camps for children, which have been well attended during all the years of assembly history, have many added features which the di rector, Mr. J. L. Corzine, Columbia, expects to add to their attractive ness. A new encampment feature has been added this year to provide for Adults who work in the Sunday school. The program is specially ar ranged for a week of intensive study of the most important Sun day school problems. Those who direct the assembly report that they expect an atten dance which will be even larger than the usual. This opinion is based on the improvements in the program, the very low rates for room and board, as well as the im proved economic condition throughout the state. X Bordeaux ]\lews James F.

Weather Checks The Weevil But Favors Red Spider ••***■; tUff*. 5tf. v - / CLEMSON, July 8.—Further de creases in weevil activity were re ported by county agents for the week ending July 6. Infestations in excess of 10 per cent were re ported from several counties, but the average is considerably less than 10 per cent for the state. Red spider damage in several counties is considerably greater than in many years. Dry weather is conducive to red spider damage, and such infestations over the state may be revealed ’by examination. From a distance cotton leaves af fected by red spiders show a decid edly yellowish tinge. “Cotton growers should examine their fields and if red spiders are present should decide on methods of control”, says W. C. Nettles, Ex tension Entomologist. Informa tion Card* No. 1, “The Cotton Red Spider”, which may be obtained from county agents or the Depart ment of Publications at Clemson College, will assist growers in de ciding on a plan of action. x 1935 Bankhead Tax Set At Six Cents Per Pound KchohoUi News So far as I know this section passed a peaceful 4th of July.

SUMMER SCHOOL The tax on the ginning of cotton under the Bankhead Act for the 1935-36 cotton season, which begins the first of August, has been set at 6 cents per pound for all cotton in excess of allotments. The determination of the tax is established under the law as one- half of the average price on 10 designated spot cotton markets for a representative period. This base price has been determined by the Secretary of Agriculture as being 12 cents per pound, which automat ically fixes the tax itself at 6 cents per pound. The price for the 1934-35 season was found to be 11.34 cents, which placed the tax at 5.67 cents per pound. The price is figured on the basis of 7-8 middling spot cot ton. Producers are furnished tax ex empt certificates to the amount of their allotment, with which they pay the ginning tax on their cot ton up to the total allotted to them. On any excess above their allot ment they are required to pay the ginning tax when the cotton is gin ned. ! The markets designated for de termining the average price were: Au^-sta and Savannah, Georgia; Dallas. Houston, and Galveston, Texas: Little Rock, Arkansas; Memphis, Tennessee; New Orleans, t Louisiana; and Norfolk, Virginia. COLUMBIA, July 8.—Governor Olin D.
