AAA Grant Payments
For 1938 Made Soon
Columbia. 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

safety inspection stations here

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.”
