Comprehensive
Fann Program i
Aim Of New Act
Clemson, Feb. 19.—The Agricul
tural Act of 1938, recently passed '
by Congress, is designed to provide
an all-around national farm pro
gram which will help farmers and
at the same time protect consum-
-ers of the nation, according to in
formation received by D. W. Wat
kins, director of the Extension
Service. The principal points of
the program are summarized by
Director Watkins as follows:
Soil Conservation:—The new
farm program which is outlined in
the legislation continues and sup
plements the Agricultural Conser
vation Programs which have been
in effect for the past two years
under the Soil Conservation and
Domestic Allotment Act of 1936.
^ive Crops:—Upon the founda
tion of the conservation programs,
specific provisions are made for
tije five crops—cotton, com, tobac
co, wheat, and rice. For these crops
the Act provides that the program
is to be administered so as to pro
vide for producing adequate sup
plies each year for domestic con
sumption and exports and also to
maintain ample reserves.
Ever-Normal Granary:—The pro
visions of the Act designed to
maintain supplies at specified lev
els are expected to bring about
substantial increases in reserves,
particularly in the case of corn
and wheat. ^ !
Loans:—The Act directs that
loans be made to com, cotton, and
wheat producers under certain con- ;
ditions, and authorizes loans to be
made on other agricultural com- i
medities at the discretion of the
Secretary of Agriculture and the
President. The loans are to be
made by the Commodity Credit
Corporation, which has made loans
to farmers on cotton and corn in
Pfust years.
Acreage Allotments and Quotas:
—Acreage and commodity allot
ments will be made for each of the,
five crops. If a crop is so* large
that supplies reach high levels, the
Act provides that a marketing quo
ta will be effective if two-thirds of
the farmers voting in a referendum
of producers of the commodity ap
prove the quota.
Old Age Insurance
Claims Being Paid
LUMP-SUM PAYMENTS AWAIT
ING CERTAIN WORKERS AT 65
OR RELATIVES
If you have worked as an em
ployee in commerce or industry
and have reached 65 since January
1, 1937, you probably are entitled
o a lump-sum payment under the
Id-age insurance provisions ol
the Social Security Aet. Any field
office cf the Social Security Board
will tell you whether you may
claim a payment and how you
do aid go about getting the :ncn-
•'y
There are two kinds of payments
under the old-age insurance pro
visions of the Social Security Act.
One is the lump-sum payment vO
V/orkers who have reached the age
jf 65 since the system was set up
md to the estates or relatives of
hose who have died. The other is
monthly retirement benefit, pay
ments cf which begin in 1942.
Further information may be ob
tained at the Board’s Greenwood
Field Office. This office serves the
Counties of Abbeville, Laurens,
Newberry, Saluda, Edgefield,
Greenwood and McCormick. Miss
Martha Pressly is manager of the
Ureenwocd office.

Flue-Cured Tobacco
Allotment And Quotas
Clemson, Feb. 19.—An acreage of
between 88,0C3 and 91,000 acres will
be alloted for 1938 to South Caro
lina growers of flue-cured tobacco
under the new farm act, D. W.
i Wa tkins, director of the Extension
Service, announces on Information
from the Agricultural Adjustment
Administration.
I The principal factor in determin
ing this state allotment was the
production during the last five
years, it is stated.
The state allotment will be divi
ded among farms on the basis of
past marketing; land, labor, and
equipment; crop rotation practices;
soil, and other physical factors.
A referendum on tobacco mar
keting quotas will be held Saturday,
March 12 for producers to accept
or reject the quotas. Two-thirds of
the growers voting must vote in
favor of marketing quotas if they
are to be effective.
Marketing quotas on flue-cured
tobacco will be allotted to states
and ultimately to farms on a
poundage basis. The farmer can
not market in excess of his quota
without penalty.
Not more than 5 per cent of the
national marketing quota is to be
allotted to new growers and for in
crease of quotas for small farms.

Warns Against Danger
Of Dead Cotton Seed
Clemson, Feb.. 19.—Speaking of
the importance of farmers nesting
and treating their cotton seed.
Director D. W. Watkins of the Ex
tension Service this week declared:
“Seed treatment does not put
life into dead seed. Therefore, it
is very important that cotton farm
ers cf the state have a germination
test made of their ceed before they
treat them with mercury dust."
“High germination is importun'
to obtain proper spacing cf ootten’
Mr. Watkins said. “Before the Jme
of the boll weevil, proper spacing
and a good stand w^re not as im
portant as they are today. As a
matter of fact, poor stands may
contribute to severe weevil iam v£,e
since farmers do not get their max
imum amount of early fruit."
Director Watkins urged that all
farmers have their seed tested im
mediately and suggested that if
the • germination tests proved doas
their own supply was not satis
factory, cotton planters should
take immediate steps to obtain
seed of high germination.
County agents are in a position
to assist farmers in locating leod
of high germination. If seed of low
germination quality are to oc
planted, then it is essential that o
proportionately larger amount of
seed be put down.
The Department of Agriculture,
Commerce, and Industries in Col
umbia, Director Watkins pointed
out, makes germination .ests or
the farmers of South Carolina free
of charge.

A woman has been made Vice
Commissar of Food Industries in
the Soviet Union. Paulina S. Zhem-
chuzhina, wife of the chairman of
the Council of People’s Commissars,
has been promoted to this office
from that of director of the cosme
tics trust, of which she has been
head for some time. This trust is
a part of the commissariat of Food
Industries. Mm. Zhemchuzhina
visited the United States a year ago
and had tea at the White House.
She is one of a select group of wo
men who have achieved highx office
in their own country but who Lkes
to see what the people of other
countries are doing, especially in
their own kind of work.
Mrs. Charlotte A. Hankln of
Washington, D. C., is an authority
on the work and history of the Su
preme Court. She went abroad for
the American Association of Uni
versity Women to study the courts
and legal ways of Europe.
One of the best known fashion
photographers, Mrs. Wynn Rich
ards, accuses women, all who have
a flair for this kind of work, to go
into it professionally. She says
there are too few who know how v-o
do it thoroughly and attractively,
and that it offers a fine field. The
Institute of. Women’s Professional
Relations, Connecticut College,
New v London, is publishing a series
of pamphlets on fashion illustra
tion, costume design, etc.
The dietitian play* an important
role in the medical world i-oday.
Doctors have come to rely more
and more upon these food experts
in cases where patients must be de
prived of certain foods and are re
quired to take others chat Will
serve as substitutes. Many Hospi
tals have their staffs of dietitians
but it has remained for two v/eh
trained women to supply die press
ing need for consultation outside
of hospitals by opening an offic
in New York where this service .
provided. Miss Kathryn Montgom
ery, who is associated with Mrs
Frances H. Naylor in the dietetk
service, is equipped to supply n-
formation on menus that meet the
dietary requirements prescribed by
doctors.
The world-wide hunting activi
ties of her husband have been de
picted by Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt,
Jr., in needlework which has been
exhibited in New York recently.
She has also commemorated some
of her own travels, notably a jour
ney through this country last fall
and scenes reminiscent of their
years in Puerto Rico and the Phi
lippines. The latter piece qf work
