This will not only include labor that is not em ployed by the Works Progress Ad ministration but also labor em ployed on WPA projects, and WPA will cooperate with the National Reemployment Service to the ex tent of closing down its projects, if necessary, for the temporary pe riod that the labor may be needed on the farms. All project foremen of WPA have been instructed to advise the labor ers that are assigned to fanners that they will be reinstated on WPA projects when released from the temporary private employment; provided that they have completed the temporary work or have lost their temporary position through no fault of their own. Temporary employers are, there fore, requested to notify the Na tional Reemployment Service or the Works Progress Administration when the temporary employment Is completed so that we will be able to reinstate them on the proj ects. -xx- Millions Unearned >} For Soil Building By Southern Farmers South Carolina Farmers Cash On Home -Grown Porkers In Central District Coun- I Florence, Sept. 11.—Over a mil- cil Of Farm omen lion dollar s worth of South Caro lina hogs were marketed coopera- MeetS In Aiken j livel y t’ 01- farmers through the Ex tension Service during seven months from Dec. 1, 1936, to June The Central District Council of I 30, 1937, says A.

In 1936, southern-region farmers had soil-building allowances to taling $si9,912,215, but earned only $14,747,813.46 for carrying out soil building practices, Mr. Duggan says.

Reasons for the failure of many farmers to earn their full allow ance included the lateness of the start of the 1936 program, newness of the program, the scarcity of adapted seed in many localities. ners of doubles in the district ten nis tournament held in Greenwood Thursday, September 2nd, and in cluding Greenwood, McCormick and Abbeville counties.
