County Meetings
Set For Monday
Chairman Notified Official Date
In View Of Ruling.
The State, April 29.
Lane Bonner, secretary of the
state Democratic executive com
mittee, notified county chairmen
yesterday that county conventions
are to be held next Monday in
stead of next Wednesday under a
ruling by Attorney General John
M Daniel.
Bonner explained that the house
of ^representatives killed a bill to
make the conventions Wednesday,
in conformity with a 1934 party
rule, instead of Monday, so legis
lators could attend.
“The general assembly has never
heretofore been in session on the
date set for county conventions,” he
wrote. “It would work a hardship
on members of the legislature to
come to Columbia for a session of
the general assembly, return to
their homes for the convention
Wednesday, and then return to
Columbia for the remainder of the
legislative week.”
A large number of legislators are
county phairmen, secretaries, or
state executive committeemen.

Ohanges In Details
Of New Farm Plan
Clemson, April 27.—“Revisions of
the new farm program announced
from Washington during the last
ten days are largely a liberaliza
tion of certain conditions and a
rewording to make certain details
clearer”, says R. W. Hamilton, as
sistant to Director D. W. Watkins.
“Those farmers who attended one
or more of the community or coun
ty meetings held by the county
agents during, the past three weeks
nfced not be disturbed over these
revisions. If the information and

of the changes made in the
d regulations is that for each
left out of a soil-depleting
for which an application for
nt will be made, there must
be on the farm an acre planted to
soiliconserving crops”, Mr. Hamil
ton explains. “It was previously re
quired that an acreage equal-to
20 oer cent of the soil-depleting
base be planted to soil-conserving
crop! Under the new ruling this
20 per cent does not meet the re-
auirnients in certain cases. If a
farmer has a hundred acres of
soil-depleting base in cotton and
he leives out 35 acres, he must
now have an acreage equal to 35
acres planted to soil-conserving
crops, inot just 20 per cent of the
himdrAl acres as under the old rul
ing. This change, however, will not
require the planting of a greater
acreage* of soil-conserving crops
than the first instructions called

and feed crops for home consump

ments in acreage of soil-conserv
ing crops is calculated on the dif
ference. Corn grown for home con
sumption is no longer considered
in arriving at the soil-depleting
base for the farm.”
