File Cotton
Sales Slips
The County Agent’s office has
received instructions to urge all
cotton producers to file their sales
slips for the cotton they have sold.
This three cents subsidy will be
paid up to 65 per cent of a pro
ducer’s cbtton base production. A
number of McCormick County
farmers will receive this payment
on all of their crop this year. If a
producer does not make cotton
equal to his 65 per cent base pro
duction, the subsidy will only be
paid on the amount made. The
amount of cotton made over 65
per cent of the base production will
draw no payment.
In the case of renters, the per
son producing the cotton receives
the payment. If cotton is paid the
landlord as rent, the landlord
should give the renter a sales slip
showing the weight of bale and
date of month the cotton was re
ceived. This date is the one on
which the renter draws the subsidy
payment. All sales slips should be
filed in the County Agent’s office
within fifteen days after the date
the cotton is sold.
R. D. Suber,
County Agent.

nesday.
Twenty-five men were transfer
red from Camp F-5 on the
Chattahoochee National Forest at
Clayton, Georgia, on Thursday to
Camp Bradley. The total enroll
ment at this camp is now 215 men.
The boys extend a cordial welcome

aged arranging his Christmas leave
50 that it will coincide with the
holiday season granted to school

leave on school day for the State
Fair and leave during the Thanks
giving holidays which were granted
to school teachers.
