Jem. 28.—Within a very short time applications for payment under the 1938 Agricul tural Conservation Program will . start flowing into the State AAA Office for audit and certification for payment, R. W. Hamilton, state AAA administrator an nounces. It is expected that the total a- mount of grant payments to be made to farmers of South Caro lina for their participation in the 1938 Agricultural Conservation Program will amount to between 10 and 11 million dollars. / Direct payments will be made to owners, operators, share tenants, and share croppers who were interested in the production of the 1938 crops of cotton, tobac co, Irish potatoes, and interested in the carrying out of soil-build ing practices in 1938. The total number of payees will approxi mate 160,000 farmers in this state. “As the applicable data for each of these producers must be enter ed on the applications and each producer must sign the applica tion, it is expected that the total length of time for completing all payments will exceed two months”, says Mr. Hamilton. “However, the first payments will be made shortly. “The county offices and the Etatc Office all have trained and experienced workers who are ex pediting the necessary detailed clerical work in every way possible In an endeavor for the payments to be in the hands of the farmers as an aid in financing the 1939 crops.” Mr. Hamilton points out that the payment of this 10 or more million dollars will make the second time since September 1, 1938. that the farmers in South Carolina have received payments fender the Farm Program. During September, October, and Novem ber, 1938, seven and three-quarters million dollars were paid to the farmers of the state as a. cotton jQprlce adjustment payment. Mobile Safety • Inspection Station Established Here The State Highway Department Vehicle Inspection Division es tablished one of its five mobile safety inspection stations here Tax Commission Agents To Assist In Making Income Tax Returns on Agents of the Income Tax Divi sion of the South Carolina Tax Commission begin their journeys today, and the tests of trucks and'ever the State for the purpose of other commercial vehicles are ex- assisting income taxpayers in the pected to begin in full force to, morrow. John M. Smith, supervisor of the station, reported that he “was ex tremely gratified” by the coopera tion shown by town officials, garage men, and the general pub lic toward the inspection cam paign thus far. He said he felt sure that residents of McCormick County fully realized the impor tance of a thorough check-up of commercial vehicles as a safety measure to help reduce highway accidents. Although the driver is the most important factor in the average accident,” Mr. Smith pointed out, “it is a fact that an operator is no better than his vehicle, and when the vehicle is not in first class condition anything may hap pen. When you get in a “tight pinch” you may be lucky to pull out alive even with the aid pf a perfectly functioning mechanism, and without it too often you are lost.” Mr. Smith announced that his unit would remain in McCormick shrough Friday, February 10, and would be open from 9:00 to 5:00 ;>n weekdays. The station closes at 1:00 on Saturdays. He urged that all mechanics and repair men visit the lane dur ing the first day or two of inspec tion to discuss inspection require ments there with the inspectors, ind familiarize themselves with he testing machines and proce- ure. “It is important that owners ■resent their equipment early for he tests, Mr. Smith advised. “This ill prevent a jam at the lane and coal garages toward the last few days of the period. If possible, iwners should prepare their vehi- ies for inspection in advance, to obviate the necessity of frequent einspections.” Can Rebuild And Paint Bodies Like They Came From Factory.
