This contemplates for each of our clients sufficient productive acreage, farm and home standards of living to maintain health and provide such operations that will profitably employ the family labor to make a good living, provide ex penses for farm and home and the cash needed to repay the FSA loans and other obligations. “Instructions have gone out to all county rehabilitation supervis ors to accept a few more families who cannot otherwise finance their farm operations this year,” Mr. Morgan stated. “Families who have been unable to secure favorable action on their applications from the county rehabilitation offices because of lack of loan funds, and other families who have sufficient productive acreage available who need federal assistance, and who lave been unable to complete satis- actory arrangements, may now visit the local rehabilitation offices in their counties and make appli cation.” The rehabilitation office in this county expects to complete the 1938 loan program by April 1. be held in Augusta on March 24, 25 and 26, it was announced by Howard McCants, secretary. In announcing the growing num ber of entries, Mr. McCants said that it is almost a foregone con clusion that the Augusta show in the number of chicks and eggs entered will be the largest ever held in the South.

Anyone desiring to make entries or seeking information about the again in 1938, D. W. Watkins, di rector of the Extension Service, announces, with $2,000 prize money contributed by the Cotton Manu facturers Association of South Carolina. The cotton improvement contest, begun by the Extension Service in 1926 with prize money contributed by The State Company, Columbia, has been continued yearly except in two depression years with prize money from the Cotton Manufac turers Association. Largely as a result of the contest over 90 per cent of the state’s cotton crop is now 15-16 inch or longer staple and 70 per cent one inch or longer, as compared with only 20 per cent of 15-16 inch or longer in 1926. Another result is larger and more economical production per acre. In 1937 there were 1122 farmers enrolled in the cotton contest and 885 of these turned in complete records on their results. Dr. Wm. P. Jacobs of Clinton, Secretary-treasurer of the cotton Manufacturers Association, in his letter notifying Director Watkins that the Association will again co operate in this cotton improvement work, says: “We congratulate you on the splendid progress made in the movement so far, and wish for Clemson College and the farmers show may communicate with How- of the state further progress along ard McCants, secretary Georgia this line. We are delighted to have Baby Chick and Egg Show, Ath- a part in making this unique effort Jens, Ga. possible.”
