Wallace, to supervise the op eration of the new farm program in South Carolina under the Soil Conservation and Domestic Allot ment Act has been announced by D. W. Watkins, director of the Ex tension Service. Paul Sanders of Ritter is chairman of this board, the other members being Marvin Adams of McColl, C. W. Stone of Clinton, L. M. Lawson of Darling ton, and Frank Cope of Cope. Following a two-day conference of extension workers, county com mitteemen, and other agricultural leaders held March 30-31 to study the details of the new program, county and community meetings are being held in each county to present the plan to farmers. The program will be administer ed In South Carolina by the Ex tension Service and the state board through the county and community committees. Participation by farm ers will be entirely voluntary, there being no contracts and no direct crop reduction features. Emphasing again two main pur poses of the program, namely, to improve and maintain the produc tivity of the soil, and to restore in part the farmer’s buying power, Director Watkins says: “To this end federal funds are provided to participating farmers for payments for soil-building crops j and soil-conserving crops and prac tices as distinguished from soil de pleting crops such as cotton, tobac co, com, potatoes, etc. “Payments would be made to farmers on two bases: (1) on acre age shifted from soil-depleting to soil-conserving crops, (2) on acre age devoted to soil-conserving and soil-building crops in 1936. No pay ments will be made for shifting acreage from food and feed crops axcept as produced in excess of home consumption needs. “As conditions to receiving any payment, the producer must have: (1) soil-conserving crops in 1936 not less than 20 per cent of the acreage of soil-depleting crops; (2) an acreage of soil-depleting crops not exceeding the normal acreage of such crops for the farmers.” x Notice If you wish to make application through the Greenwood Produc tion Credit Association please call at my office in the Court House in McCormick at once as the McCor mick office will close around the 15.

M. Perry, president of the South Carolina Society for Crippled Children. At this season very attractive crippled children seals are on sale, not only in South Carolina, but in 40 states of the- United States, the Provinces of Canada and 30 nations of the world. These seals are sold through the state society. Ninety per cent of every dollar remains in the state and community for the care, cure, education and prevention of crip pling in children, the small remain der going to the International Society for Crippled Children to extend its net work of local, state, provincial and national organiza tions for crippled children through out the world. Through solicitation and volun tary giving much has been done- for the crippled child, yet only a, small minority of ^ crippled boys and girls requiring medical, sur gical or nursing care can obtain it. The sale of seals will give every person in South Carolina an op portunity to do his bit for crip pled children by investing, as his means permits, in crippled children, seals and scrolls. There is a touching affinity be tween the Easter season, with its resurrection theme, and these seals which give a rebirth of hope to many childish hearts housed ht crooked bodies. The society for crippled children proposes to carry on a preventive program, which will mean that many of the potential cripples need never suffer physical handicaps at all. Let’s give all crippled children a chance to live happy normal lives. Easter seals will be on sa’e until April 15. Every seal that is sold means added opportunities for some unfortunate child in South Carolina. Not ice To Taxpayers All state and county taxes can be paid up to and including April 15th at 3 per cent penalty. After :hat date executions will be issue! igainst all unpaid taxes. T. J.
