Rehoboth News The annual revival services be gan at Rehoboth Sunday, with two services celebrating home coming day. We have not had such a large crowd since the centennial services two years ago. It was truly a home coming; people from Co- ftnnfe&t, Augusta, Greenville, North Angusta, Edgefield, McCormick, Fhmx Branch, Barea, Bethany, and Other places were present. Such a happy, congenial congregation is seldom seen anywhere. It really seemed like a big family gathering at the old home. Surely ii must be something like that home coming when we all get to Our friends knew that have left the old home and lew remain to keep the old ties. They were so kind and thoi^fatful; brought lunch; a lunch was served under One of the honor guests R. A. Broadwater.

Alex, Jr., who has been Liqul 0^ O p* blets of 759,000 bales compares with 681,000 for 1934 and a ten-year average of 845.000 bales. The indicated yield is 260 pounds lint per acre which compares with 250 pounds harvested in 1934 and a ten-year average (1924-1933) of 211 pounds per acre. This yield of 260 pounds of lint per acre is the second highest yield for South Carolina since 1920, being exceeded only in 1931 by a yield of 273 pounds lint per acre. The crop got off to a better than average start and from all indica tions seems to be from a week to ten days ahead of the average. Weevil damage was about aver age but weather conditions during the next thirty days will determine the final* weevil damage for the crop. United States Forecast A United States cotton crop of 11,798,000 bales is forecast by the Department of Agriculture, based on conditions as of August 1. If realized this will be 2,162,000 bales more than last year’s crop, and 1,- 545,000 less than the average of the last five years. The average yield for the United States is forecast at 198.3 pounds per acre, which is 21.2 pounds or 12.0 per cent more than the average from 1924 to 1933. Con dition is reported as 73.6 per cent of normal, compared with 60.4 per cent last year, and the ten year average cf 68.7 per cent. The in dicated yield per acre is above av erage in all major States except Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Tennes see. Although the present growing condition of the crop is more fav orable than usual, the crop is from one to two weeks late along the northern portion of the Belt. It is also later than usual in portions of the Delta sections of Mississippi and Arkansas where planting was delayed by unfavorable weather in the spring and growth in June was retarded by relatively cool’ tem peratures.

There is no tedious period of breaking-in for 500 or 1000 miles. You can drive it up to 50 miles an hour the first day. And after the first hundred miles you can drive it as fast as you desire. That means greater motoring enjoyment for every motorist. It is especially important/to motorists who are thinking about a new car for a vacation trip — to physicians, salesmen and all those who use a car for business. In stead of dragging along at slow speeds for days, you can make good time from the start. The reason for this is as important as the result. The Ford V-8 needs no breaking-in because of unusual accuracy in the manufac ture of moving parts and the smoothness of bearing surfaces. Clearances are correct when you buy the car. It is not necessary to depend on a long wearing-in period to eliminate tight ness and insure smooth running. Longer life, greater economy and better performance are bound to result from such precision methods. The Ford V-8 gives you fine-car construction, along with fine-car performance, comfort, safety and beauty. , FORD V-8 Farm Adjustment News BRIEF NOTES OF AAA ACTIVI TIES TOWARD BETTER FARM ING CONDITIONS Land Bank Commissioner and land ! bank funds in making loans to | Notice For Bids For Transportation Pnpils Payments to cotton producers resulting from the exercise of op tions on the staple placed in the cotton pool totaled $65,777,739 up to August 1..

These reports indi cate that loss from this source will be about average, and somewhat greater than in either of the last two years.
