To Get New Farm Aet
Under Way In State
Clemson, April 4.—A state agri
cultural adjustment board, ap
pointed by Secretary of Agriculture
H. A. 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.”

Ask Chance For
Crippled Tots
Seal Sale Campaign Is Now Being
Conducted In Forty States.
“Just a chance to be like other
folks—that’s all the crippled child
asks,” says W. 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.

Treasurer, McCormick County.
