McCORMICK MESSENGER, McCORMICK, SOUTH CAROLINA Thursday, June 12, 1941 New Adjusted Quota Selectees Made Out For State Columbia, June 9.—An adjusted quota of 19,134 selectees for South Carolina and adjusted quota for the state’s 83 local boards were announced Saturday by Brig. Gen. Holmes B. Springs, state director of Selective Service. The new quota, it was pointed ' out by Major George C. Warren, delivery and induction officer at state headquarters for Selective Service, is for no definite period, national headquarters having ad vised that it will extend “well be yond July 1.” According to Major Warren, the new adjusted quota is based on figures available as of May 15 and is based on a gross quota of 39,- oi8 selectees for the state. From time to time the gross quota will be recomputed in order to keep well in advance of current require ments of the land and naval forces. * Major Warren stressed the fact that the quota assigned the local boards is not a requirement that must be filled by any given date. Bather, he said, it is a “bank ac count” upon which the armed forces may draw from time to time. He explained that national headquarters is primarily concern ed that the statutory limitations upon the total number of men in training at any one time not be exceeded; that ample notice be given as to the actual require ments of the armed forces so that calls might be filled promptly: and that necessary adjustments made from time to time so that no state or local board furnishes a disproportionate share of men 'to the armed forces, j In determining the net adjustec quota for the state and the loca' boards, credit for those at present serving in the armed forces from the state and from each local board area and also those selectees already furnished by the state and local boards were deducted from the gross quota in each case. The new adjusted quota of 19, 134 selectees supercedes the origi nal quota of 5,957 assigned South Carolina through June 30, but for no definite period. Major Warren pointed out that the original quota was based estimates, while the new adjusted quota is based/on actual knowledge of the number of registrants in is KELVINATOR New and used electric refrigerators.

Boys Safe After Adventure in "Wilds’ CCC States Policy On Cotton Loan Stocks ARTIE M5GOVERN Columbia, June 7.—The Com modity Credit Corporation will not take title to any stocks of loan cotton without giving prior public notice, the U. S. Department of Ag riculture has announced through R. W. Hamilton, state adminis trative officer, AAA. This an nouncement was made in view of the fact that several inquiries have been received as to when the Gov ernment might take title to the loan stocks of 1938, 1939, and 1940 crops of cotton. The Corporation now holds title to 6,170,662 bales of cotton, which were produced almost entirely in the years 1934 and 1937. The Cor poration also has $165,718,578.43 in loans outstanding on 3,308,703 bales of cotton of the 1938, 1939, and 1940 crops. It is possible, says the announce ment, that the Government may find it desirable to take title on August 1, 1941, to any cotton re maining pledged to secure notes which are overdue at that time. In the event, however, that the Government should take title to any of the stocks of loan cotton, at least ten days’ public notice of such action would be given by a press release. If the Government should take title to loan cotton, the cotton producers would be paid any a- mounts by which (1) the redemp tion costs of their notes (which include principal, interest, and carrying charges on the pledged cotton) were exceeded by (2) a fair value for the cotton at the time, which would be determined by the Secretary of Agriculture on the basis of the then prevailing average market prices for cotton with reasonable allowances for differences in grades, staple- lengths, and locations. xx- Early Summer Notes About Livestock Don’t Make Work Out of Play When most persons start out on a vacation trip, it is usually with the hope of getting a badly needed rest. All too often they work so hard at their play that a vac- : on is more like an exhausting er *' ir- ance contest. They return to '' 3ir everyday routine more tired "‘ an when they left and the trip - 'in which they counted for re" , '*"9d energy and pep has done : .ore harm than good. Outdoor exercise is a great * ac- er, but a person who is not ’ JS- tomed to a strenuous life i in viting physical and nervour ex haustion when he plunges i'.o a program that keeps him on the go from morning until i <ght. Take your summer sports in ; mall doses and mix them well with a generous amount of loafing. Get all the fun you possibly can out of your brief respite from the work aday world, but guard yourself from fatigue. Proper attention to livestock in June is particularly important, says County Agent M. A. Bouk- night, giving brief suggestions to guide farmers. Animal Husbandry 1. Start hogs to grazing soy beans when beans are about 12 inches high. 2. Build a creep and feed beef calves some grain. 3. Treat sheep for stomach worms every two weeks if heavily in- *ested. 4. Market the spring lambs when they weigh 70 to 80 pounds per head. 5. Provide shade and fresh water for all classes of live stock. 6. Mow the permanent pastures to destroy weeds. 7. Ob serve the livestock for screw- worm infestation and give treat ment if needed. Dairying 1. Control flies by keeping all manure spread on the fields. 2. Cool milk and cream immediately after milking to control bacteria and undesirable odors and flavors. 3. Plant sufficient summer hay crops on grain stubble land to insure an ample supply for next winter. 4. Mow the pasture often enough to keep down obnoxious weeds. 5. Sow pearl millet on a rich plot close to the barn to graze or to cut and feed green when pastures are dry and short. 6. Keep an abundant supply of fresh water before the cows. Poultry 1. Keep pullets on clean range during summer months. 2. Do not push pullets into egg production; feed a low protein ration made up mostly of grain. 3. Watch the birds for lice infestation and ex amine the sleeping quarters oc casionally for mites. 4. If troubled each fall with chicken pox or sorehead, vaccinate the pullets when three to four months of age to prevent an outbreak. Lost five days in the stony and heavily wooded wilderness near Kokadjo, Maine, these two boys Melvin Davis, 15, (left) and Paul Atkin son, 14, (right) are shown safe in bed folio whig their rescue. When the pair, with their dog, became separated from their fishing party, the boys without matches or food, used the dog to keep them warm at night and during the day left birch bark markings to aid searchers following their trail.

Food Appeal HO lnpfflafou£.I)aejite t Author of Sister Mary’s Kitchen a When you cleaned house this spring did you find some silver pieces stored away on the top shelves of the pantry? If you did you’re a lucky person and you’ll be a clever one if you use your grand mother’s cake-basket and epergn and castor and any other articles you may have discovered. There’s nothing like silver to give “atmos phere” to a home. Its sheer beauty adds elegance and dignity to any room it may grace. Formal din ners, buffet suppers, afternoon teas and Sunday breakfasts all gain importance from the use of silver appointments. And here’s the secret of clean silver. Use it every day and at every meal and then it will always be ready for entertaining. Of course it will never wear out and constant washing in hot suds wnll keep it bright and shining. If you are investing in new sil ver for yourself or for a gift, pick out articles that will have more than one use. A bowl may be used as a flower holder, a salad bowl and a fruit dish. A relish dish becomes a meat platter or a sand wich tray when the glass lining is removed. An asparagus dish if practical in season and out of season—simply remove the rack and sauce boat and you have a server for other vegetables, salad 5 , or desserts. Hundreds of ideas are at hand for glamorous summer tables. Girl /graduates, brides and summer guests are to be feted and there should be a special table for each occasion. Make the table for the sweet girl graduate youthfully simple but colorful and modern. The bride’s table should suggest the forthcoming event. One love ly table for a bride is arranged on gleaming white damask. A pair of* vases holding lilies of the valley flank a tiny white satin priedeau placed on a table mirror between tall burning tapers in low holders of silver or crystal. A midget bride’s bouquet is put at each guest’s place with the place card. A narrow hall is best handled by placing all the furniture on c:ie side. This leaves a straight un cluttered course'from end to end. A large mirror set in the wail will that surpluses whfch Britain Ifcfts ipay be created.
