Now Checking Crop
Acreages In
McCormick County
Community Supervisors have be
gun checking crop acreages in Mc
Cormick County. This work is being
done by aerial photographs, taken
three years ago. The Supervisor
outlines on the picture the fields
as they are now. Then the acre
age is calculated in the office with
a rotometer. Acreage of all crop
lands have to be shown, along with
the boundary lines of the farm
tract.
It is very important for the farm
er to be with the Supervisor when
the checking is done in order to
assist in locating the property lines.
The cost of this work is to be de
ducted from the farmers’ checks
using the County as a unit.

To Hold Farmers
Meet October 1
Discussion Of Proposed Federal
Crop Control To Be Heard
Columbia, Sept. 16.—J. Roy Jones,
state commissioner of agriculture,
commerce and industries, said yes
terday a general meeting of the
state’s farmers would be held here
Oct. 1 to discuss proposed federal
crop legislation.
Jones said the meeting was
called at the request of Senator

“We desire that the real farm
ers shall be present as they are
the ones we wish to interview”,

proper legislation that the rank

an opportunity to express them
selves as they are the ones vitally
affected by whatever is passed.”

Camp Bradley News
Camp Bradley, Sept. 18.—There
was great rejoicing in Camp Brad
ley when the news came in that
only the men over 24 years old
would have to get out of Camp
the first of October. No man who
is under 24 years old will be dis
charged on account of length of
service, this camp will lose only
20 old men, whereas we would have
lost 74 under the old regulations.
Leader Norman Kelly who so long
has been an efficient field leader
has been made First Sergeant of the
company and we all are predicting
great things from Kelly.
Leader Harold Bussey who
has been acting Under Clerk
at Camp F-ll is on leave.
Bussey is in Charleston
on business as well as pleasure and
he expects to contact the Pulp
Mills in the Eastern section of the
state while on this trip.
Assistant Leader Bennie Hodge
has accepted a position with a
Power and Light Company, going

camp for other work and we know
he will be greatly missed in that
section, still it’s not very far from
camp to the “Foot Hills” of Par
son’s Mountain, so don’t grieve too
much Charlie.
It has been one month today
since we have had a fire on the
