Or-
154,000 Methodists
To Work For Orphans
On Saturday of this week all
Methodist churches in this county
and throughout the entire state
will observe Work Day for the
children of Epworth Orphanage.
This is an annual affair. For
more than 30 years the Methodists
of the state have set aside one
Saturday in September as a
on which all members of
Church and Church Schools
asked to work for Epworth
phanage and give all their earn
ings for that day on the following
Sunday when the Work Day offer
ing is made.
Thousands of children through
out the state will make a special
effort to find something to do
next Saturday that they may earn
money to give to their less for
tunate little friends who make
their home at Epworth Orphanage.
Some will go in groups to the cot
ton fields, others will ask their
parents and neighbors for, jobs,
and still others, who have regular
Saturday Jobs, will give their
earnings for the day. When we
consider that there are 802 Metho
dist churches of the state with a
membership of 154,000 we will
understand that Work Day means
very much to the 323 children at
Epworth Orphanage. In fact it
is,the most important day of all
the year for them.
There seems to be added interest
in Work Day this year. Our min
isters and Church officials are
giving more emphasis to the oc
casion.
There will be two radio broad
casts in the interest of Work Day
this week. Dr. J. R. T. Major,
District Superintendent of Colum
bia District, will speak over WIS
at 5 o’clock Friday, September 8.
Dr. J. Emerson - Ford will speak
over WETS Charlotte, N. C., at 11
o’clock Saturday, September 9.
Some of the Orphanage children
will sing during each broadcast.
Both of these stations graciously
donated the time in the interest
of Work Day.
earlier.
A 2 point loss was recorded for
grains during the month ended
August 15. Cotton and cottonseed
prices were down 2 points; meat
animals dropped 6.' Fruit prices
were 10 points lower. These de
clines slightly more than offset
increases of 4 points in the dairy
group and 1 point in the poultry
product group. Truck crop "prices
showed no change.
Compared with a year earlier,
mixed trends were indicated for
the different groups. Mid-August

Prices Received
By Farmers
SOUTH CAROLINA: Prices of
most farm commodities were
slightly lower on August 15 than a
month earlier, the largest decline
of any major item being the 20
per cent reduction in the price of
cottonseed, according to report
issued August 31st by Frank O.
Black, agricultural statistician,
Columbia
15 points lower than a year ago
Meat animals were down 14
points. Dairy products were 2
points lower. Fruits were down 8
points while truck crops were 9
points higher. Grain prices were
up 2 points, cotton and cottonseed,
up 2.
The general level of prices paid
by farmers on August 15 stood at
119 per cent of pre-war, 1 point
lower than the previous month
but 3 points lower than a year
earUer. The decline in the gener
al index since mid-July resulted
almost entirely from the lower
prices being paid for feed. Prices
of practically all feed items de
clined from their mid-June peak.
Prices paid for cotton, oats and
wheat feeds were down sharply,
while hay and manufactured feeds
averaged only slightly lower than
in June. The feed index dropped
to 86 in mid-August, compared
with 92 in June. In August 1938
feed prices averaged 89.
At 74 per cent of pre-war the
mid-August ratio of prices received
to prices paid by farmers was the
same as the July ratio and 1 point
below a year earlier. Correspond
ing shifts in both local market
price indexes have left the ex
change value of farm products
unchanged since mid-June.
Prices received by fanners for
wheat declined slightly more than
usual from mid-July to mid-Au
gust. Crop prospects improved
somewhat during the month, but
a below-average production is still
indicated. Wheat prices averaged
54.5 cents per bushel at local
markets on August 15, or 1.2 cents
less than a month earlier. This
was 3.8 cents more than in mid-
August of last year.
Cotton prices averaged slightly
less at lo^al Tarm markets on Au
gust 15 than a month earlier. At
8.70 cents per pound on August
15, however, prices were 0.58 cents
above a year earlier.
Cottonseed prices, unsupported
by Federal loan programs, drop
ped sharply toward the new crop
level as new crop seed started to
move to market in the Southern
part of the Belt. Cottonseed
prices on August 15 averaged $16.-
24 per ton, compared with $20.70
a month earlier. This mid-August
price was $5.12 lower than a year
earlier and the lowest for the
month since 1933.
Com prices averaged 45.7 cents
per bushel at local farm markets
on August 15, or 2.1 cents less
than a month earlier and 2.8 cents
less than in mid-August of last
year.
Hay prices advanced sharply in
the Middle Atlantic States during
the month ended August 15 as a
result of the prospective shortage
of supplies, but price decline in
other regions just about offset
these gains:
