J. Arch Talbert, county chair
man Red Cross, for McCormick
County, is in receipt of the follow
ing telegram from Dr. Cary T.
Grayson, National Chairman, in
which he urges increased contribu
tions for the flood sufferers:
J. Arch Talbert,
McCormick, S. C.
Since Mie original flood relief
quotas were assigned the number
of victims has been doubled. Latest
reports from our relief directors
now in the field place total num
ber of men, women and children
looking to Red Cross for immediate
emergency relief at 387,000 with
every likelihood the figure will in
crease as flood crests continue.
To meet clear and essential Red
Cross obligations to these suffer
ing fellow citizens it is imperative
that we ask you to' make every
possible effort to secure relief con
tributions exceeding your original
chapter quota by at least 50 per
cent.
As waters recede we must con
tinue to feed, shelter and clothe
homeless refugees, also extend
medical and nursing care in order
to prevent epidemic of sickness.
This will continue until the Red
Cross can aid in the repair of dam
aged homes and the victims can
return to normal living.
We feel confident the people of
your community will wish to in
crease contributions promptly and
generously in order that this emer
gent human need may be met.

Chestnut Ridge
H. D. Club Meets
The Chestnut Ridge Home Dem
onstration Club met on Friday,
March 27th, with Mrs. B. I. Chile:
and Mrs. Henrietta Bradley as joint
hostesses. There were eleven mem
bers present. This meeting was to
have been held at the home of Mrs.
Wm. Baker, but due to illness in
the Baker family, Mrs. Baker war
unable to act as hostess.
Mrs. Arthur Hendrix conducted
the devotional and presided over
the meeting in the absence of the
president. The club song “Juanita”
was sung accompanied by Mrs. J.
E. Strom on the piano. Mrs. Strom
is quite a welcome addition to our
club. The chairmen of the various
committees completed making out
their reports to send to the county
council.
Miss Harvey’s lesson at this time
was “Whole Grain Cereals Twice a
Day.” Few people realize what
whole grains (bran, kernel and
everything) mean to us from a
health standpoint. We get one very
important vitamin—vitamin B—
from whole grains. Miss Harvey
brought some steamed brown bread
which was served to the members.
It was delicious and this recipe
calls for not only whole wheat but
several other ingredients that are
healthful.
After Miss Harvey had finished
her demonstration, Professor W. R.
Watson made a splendid talk on
Citizenship. We were glad to have
Mr. Watson meet with us and all
appreciated his cooperation in our
Citizenship program. After some
remarks by Mrs. Hendrix, The
Star Spangled Banner was sung
Our entire program, even the de
votional, was suggestive of Good
Citizenship.
After the meeting, Mrs. Chiles
served sandwiches, punch and
wafers.

B. T. U. Associational
Workers To Meet In
Spartanburg April
13 And 14
Three hundred and fifty Baptist
Training Union Associational
Workers from all over South Caro
lina will meet in conference at the
Southside Baptist Church in Spar
tanburg April 13 and 14. This will
be one of the outstanding Baptist
gatherings of the year, and will
be under the direction of Mr. J.
E. Lambdin, southwide Secretary of
the Baptist Training Union, and
his associates, Mr. W. A. Harrell
and Mr. Aubrey Hearn, all of Nash
ville, Tennessee.
A great feature of the meeting
will be an address by Dr. T. L
Holcomb, Executive Secretary ol
the Baptist Sunday School Board
of the Southern Baptist Conven
tion.
The large group of Baptists will
be entertained by the Baptist
churches of Spartanburg. Dr.
Charles A. Jones, Secretary of the
General Board of the Baptist State
Convention, with headquarters in
Columbia, will be present at this
meeting, along with the outstand
ing workers of the state, includ
ing Mr. J. L. Corzine, Director of
Sunday School and Baptist Train
ing Union Work in South Carolina;
Miss Florie Lee Lawton, B. T. U. As
sociate; Chris Lawson, B. T. U. As
sociate, of Columbia.
The purpose of the meeting will
be to launch a five-year program
for the extension of the Training
Union throughout the churches of
the state. Definite goals of enlist
ment and training will be set, and
the Baptist leaders of South Caro
lina will be given instructions in
the most efficient and practical
methods of training work. It is be
lieved by authorities that this
meeting will be a step toward the
solution of the two great problems
in Christian work: the problem of
enlistment and training.
It is expected that this meeting
will equal, if not exceed, the con
ference which was held for Sun
day school workers in Columbia on
March 2 and 3. which was pro
claimed one of the greatest meet
ings in the history of the Baptist
denomination in South Carolina.
Clemson, March 28.—The objec
tives of the 1936 soil conservation
program, as formulated by the
Agricultural Adjustment Adminis
tration, may be stated as follows,
says D. W. Watkins, director of
the Extension Service;
(1) To preserve and improve soil
fertility; (2) To promote the eco
nomic use and conservation of
land; (3) To reduce the exploita
tion, wasteful, and unscientific use
of soil resources; (4) To protect
rivers and harbors against the re
sults of soil erosion. :
To bring about soil conservation
and improvement, farmers will be
encouraged to plant soil-conserving
and soil-building crops and to
adopt soil-conserving and soil
building practices in relation to thp
soil-depleting crops such as cot
ton, tobacco, com, and potatoe^
Some specific questions and an
swers regarding the program and
the individual farmer may make
clear the matter of crop bases.
What is the first thing an in
dividual farmer must do who in
tends to participate in the Pro
gram for 1936? He may with the
help of a committeeman determine
the soil-depleting base for his
farm.
How will the soil-depleting base
be determined? This base will be
the acreage in soil-depleting crops
(except for cottori, tobacco, rice,
peanuts, and sugar cane) on the
farm in 1935 unless it is determined
that such base is not in accord
ance with the general farming
practices in the locality, in which
case adjustments lAky be made.
How is the base cotton acreage
for the farm determined? The base
cotton acreage will be determined
in accordance with instructions
issued by the Secretary. Such de
termination will be arrived at in
essentially the same manner as
the base cotton acreage ' would
have been under the proposed 1936
Agricultural Adjustment Program-
How is the base tobacco acreage
for a farm determined? The base
tobacco acreage will be the base
acreage which was provided for
under the proposed 1936 Agricul
tural Adjustment Program.
Will the planting of lands in
soil-building crops in the 1935 ad
justment program be taken into
account in determining the base
acreage for a farm? Yes.
If a crop is planted in the fall
of one calendar year for harvest
in the succeeding calendar year,
which year shall be used in desig
nating the acreage planted to
such crop? The calendar year dur
ing which the crop is harvested
houM he used.
