I get the yield of cotton I want on fewer acres at lower cost per pound. At planting, I use plenty of mixed fertilizer. At chopping out, I apply Arcadian, The American Nitrate of Soda. “Arcadian is good Soda. Experiment Station tests prove there is no better Soda. And Arcadian is made by home- folks right here in the South. I want Southern Industry to grow. And I want my cotton to grow too. Give me Arcadian, with Uncle Sam on the bag!" THE BARRETT COMPANY HOPEWELL, VA. RALEIGH, N. C. COLUMBIA, S. C. ATLANTA, GA. MONTGOMERY, ALA. NEW ORLEANS, LA. MEMPHIS, TENN. "'TRATEo* f SODA Army Buying Office Located In Columbia Columbia, April 5.—One of the 30 Army purchasing offices will be located in Columbia and will buy supplies for Fort Jackson and Camp Croft, according to an nouncement from John A. Martin, chief. Perishable Foods Section. "The announcement, although indicating that several additional of floes will be located in adjacent states, some of which may supply certain of the Government outfits in this state, does not mean that South Carolina products may not be purchased by any or all of them", says Geo. E. Prince, chief of the Clemson College Extension Marketing Division. “South Caro- BUYER MEETS CC| I CD IN OUR DCLLCrN columns...': Una growers, cooperatives, ship-, pers, or wholesale dealers wiU have the privilege of bidding on all suppUes on which bids are re quested by any of these offices." Mr. prince points out to all South Carolina farmers who are producing primarily for Army camps the present requirements of the purchasing of Army suppUes; hat is, first, that the product must be in quantity atid stand ardized as to packages and ac cording to federal grades (this may mean shipping point inspec ted); second, that bids must be submitted and goods bought on contract from a responsible party who can guarantee delivery; and, t.hird, that the lowest bid, all other things being equal, will be accepted. It seems that many of the South Carolina truck growers have al ready anticipated this increased demand, for the acreages this year of some of the vegetable crops have been tripled. Those growers who have planted primarUy to sell to the Army Posts should im mediately secure information as to how purchases are to be made, Mr. Prince advises. They should consult their county agricultural agents as to federal grades which will be the basis of purchases, also as to the location of Army pur chasing offices, and should supply such offices with information as to the products they have and when available. “It seems very doubtful that farmers will be able to sell in less than carlot quantities. This does not mean that they should be dis couraged from diversifying or try ing to grow products needed, but that they should secure informa tion as to how products will be purchased, and how the growers must handle their produce. Grow er cooperatives may be of great advantage in selling and market ing their crops”, the marketing agent concludes. Many Register For Jobs With Em ployment Offices Since the intensified effort be gan recently to find the number of workers available for defense jobs, thousands have registered with local offices of the South Carolina Unemployment Com pensation Commission’s State Em ployment Service, according to H. Gerard Hartzog, Manager. The appeal to workers to regis ter, which is directed to the un employed and those who have skills needed in defense production which they are not using in their present jobs is already resulting in increased job placements, Mr. Hartzog said. Here in McCormick, Manager Hartzog said, a number of people have registered who have been doing work completely unrelated to the jobs for which they had been trained and for which they are best fitted. Mr. Hartzog said he did not be lieve that all of those in McCor mick capable of filling jobs ! ave yet registered. “Register now at the McCormick office of the State Employr 'at Service,” he urges, “if you • e unemployed and capable of i- ing a job, or if you are interc r.^d in training for occupations needed in rapidly growing defense 5: d is- tries. Specifically there is umont need for workers who have ad experience in the following ics but who are now unemployed or working on jobs where their ex perience and skill are not Leing used: In aircraft manufactu ing —airplane sheet metal workers, wood workers, aeronautical en gineers, and inspectors; in ship building—ship carpenters, lofts- tnen, boatbuilders, ship fitters, caulkers, and marine machinists; in machine shops and machinery manufacturing—machinists, tool makers, lathe operators, die makers, and tool designers. The , employment service does not encourage or desire workers who are employed in any of the above industries to register. Mr. Hartzog explained that the project to register workers in McCormick who are available for defense jobs is part of a State wide registration being conducted through the local offices of the South Carolina State Employment Service. Similar programs are being carried on by all State em ployment service agencies throughout the country with the cooperation of the Social Security Board’s United States Employment Service. Mr. Hartzog pointed out that the object of this registration is to prevent possible shortages of workers in expanding industries. A great many jobs are expected to open up in the near future for workers of all kinds and grades of skill. Mr. Hartzog cautioned, however, that all those who regis ter with the McCormick local of fice cannot expect jobs im mediately. But he pointed out that it is necessary for each local employment office throughout the country to know how to locate workers available for defense Jobs, so that they can be reached quickly when there are jobs for them. In McCormick the office of the South Carolina State Employment Service is located on the second floor of the County Court House.
