The cir cular, now ready for distribution, may be bad free from county agents or from the Publications Department at Clemson. Important factors contributing to successful pecan production, ac cording to E. H. Rawl, extension horticulturist, and W. C. Nettles, extension entomologist, who pre pared the circular, include: 1. Suitable soils. 2. Thinning out of old plantings where *the trees are now crowded. 3. The use of limestone to cor rect soil acidity and to promote satisfactory growth of cover crops. 4. Abundant supply of organic matter which would involve the growing of winter cover crops. 5. Clean and shallow summer cultivation in bearing trees to per mit the nuts to mature properly. 6. Proper fertilization. 7. tlse of zinc sulfate in the con trol of tosette where rosette is a problem. 8. Control of diseases and in- | sects. Suggestions on these and other j matters are given in the new pub lication. Baptist School Of Religious Education At Hartsville July 1-6 DR. L. R.

Tenant Farmers Problems Too small acreage has seriously handicapped many farmers who are sincerely trying to make comeback from a distressed posi tion, Mr. E. Hanvey, Farm Security Administration supervisor for Mc Cormick County, believes. Supervisor Hanvey said today that the Farm Security Adminis tration has discovered that farms too small to support families have largely contributed to the pas ; failure of many farmers and that limited acreages definitely handi cap these farmers in their efforts to attain rehabilitation. “Since the FSA aims to help dis tressed farmers learn how to stand on their own feet, it is often nec essary to help them get larger farms when they receive rehabili tation loans,” Mr. Hanvey added. Otherwise their chances of eventually becoming self-support ing are balked at the beginning. As a result of the FSA’s efforts to assist farmers to obtain ade quate acreage to make up an eco- The Master 85 Town Sedan,*699* Chevrolet for *40 out- measures all other lowest- priced cars from front of prille to rear of body (181- biches). •. and it also out sells all other makes of cars, regardless of price! i j It’s the biggest package of value in the busiest f 1 2>rice range; and, of course, its extra length and extra weight mean extra worth to i you, the buyer, in all ways. ; That’s why people are saying, “Why pay more?

BY GREENWOOD COCA-COLA BOTTLING CO., Greenwood, S.

He added that the increased acreage does not substantially in crease the production of commer cial crops, however, because the produce is primarily for home con sumption. “When a farmer receives a re habilitation loan, he gets it on condition that he and his family will carry out a plan of farm and home management. These man agement plans usually provide for most of the family’s foodstuffs being raised on the farm and for canning summer produce for winter use. The plans also pro vide for raising enough feed for the farm’s livestock. “The increased acreage shows that borrower families have made progress toward the goal of self- subsistence, and that they now have a chance for a better diet, improved health, and a higher standard of living than they had before.” Mr. Hanvey said that McCor mick County families have re ceived assistance since 1935, when the rural rehabilitation program began, and that there are now 142 holders of standard loans. He pointed out that during the five- year period, a number of families have repaid their loans in full, al though many of the loans will not mature for another three or four years. Explaining that the Bankhead- Jones Act extended the rehabilita tion principle by enabling tenants, sharecroppers, and farm laborers to become landowners. Supervisor Hanvey said that McCormick County is one of the counties designated under provisions of this act for tenant purchase loans and his office is now open for applica tions and listing of farms. Although only limited funds are available for the tenant purchase program this year Farm Security Administration officials expect ap proximately $8350.00 to be loaned to 3 families in this vicinity for the purchase of farms.
