Though this is the first show to be staged by the Twin States Live stock association, it nevertheless promises to attract the largest as semblage of farmers and farm youth to ever attend an agricul tural meeting in either of the two states. Due to the visit of Secretary Henry A. Wallace, who is to speak at 2 p. m. Wednesday, March 31, interest in the event has spread throughout this entire section of the Southeast, and the governors of the two sister states and other prominent public officials, agricul tural educators, farm and livestock leaders, buyers and representatives of packers, have announced their intention to come to Augusta. Presidents and secretaries of the majority of the chambers of com merce of Georgia and South Car olina have also accepted invita tions to attend. A striking and colorful feature of the whole program will be the visit of some 6,000 to 7,000 4-H club boys and girls from the 24 coun ties comprising the livestock asso ciation.

Wat kins, director of the extension service, has received information from the agricultural adjustment administration in Washington in dicating that South Carolina will be allowed to retain its 1936 base acreage, with the condition that new growers who planted cotton for the first time in 1936 will have to be provided base acreage and production from the state’s 1936 basis. The details applying to quotas are not yet available, but E. D. White, statistician in the Southern divis ion, AAA, informs Director Wat kins that the Southern division is about ready to announce the quotas of acreage and production to the various states, and that complete details will be available about the last of .this week. Mean while, O. M. Clark, Clemson ex tension economist, will be in Wash ington to examine the details of the system of quotas to the dif ferent states. Bt is roughly estimated at this time that the acreage to be allot ted to new growers will amount to around 18,000 acres in South Caro lina. It is further understood that the amount deducted from the state base acreage would not be a total of the acreage reported by new growers but only that which they would utilize in a program, this year. The Washington office estimates the actual amount, therefore, to be approximately one-half of one per cent, or around 9,000 acres. This may be offset to some extent and possibly completely offset by application of the “154 per cent rule” whereby the base is reduced from those farms which are going cut cf cotton production any way. XX Notice To Tax Pavers All taxes not paid on or before April 1st will be charged seven per cent penalty. This will remain in. effect until April 15th when un paid taxes will be put into execu tion.
