Applications Urged For Cotton Classing Service Clemson, July 21.—With August 1 as the deadline only a short time remains for farmers to make ap plications for the free cotton class ing service, declares Ernest Riley, agent for the U. S. D. A. Agricul tural Marketing Service, which Drovides the classing. “Farmers in South Carolina have made great strides in the produc tion of better quality cotton”, says Mr. Riley, “and now they are tak ing steps to inform themselves as to the grade and staple of their ndividual bales. In 1940, 53 groups were organized for free cotton classing under the Smith- Doxey Act and indications are ^hat this number will be doubled this year. “However, applications to be considered must be mailed to the \tlanta office of the Agricultural Marketing Service, 441 West Peachtree Street, not later than mid-night of August 1, and those interested should see their county agent or Smith-Hughes teacher at once.” Explaining this service, Mr. Riley reminds that any number of farmers who associate themselves together in a formal organization and agree to a program of cotton improvement are eligible to re ceive free classing on each bale of cotton ginned. An official notice certifying the grade and staple will be mailed direct to the producer. This should be of con siderable value in selling the cot ton, or if a government loan is desired no further classing will be necessary. Employment Service Reports 163% Gain Columbia, July 15.—A gain of 163.1 per cent in jobs found by the State Employment Service in June of last year was reported today by the South Carolina Un employment Compensation Com mission. To be exact, last month the Service made 7,691 placements as compared to 2,923 in the corre sponding month of 1940. During the first six months of this year, the Employment Service made a total of 44,837 placements. Since March the Employment Service has conducted an exten sive Labor Registration Program in urging all unemployed persons, and all persons having defense skills not being used in their pres ent jobs, to register at their local office. As a result, literally thousands of persons who had never reported at the Employment Service offices before are now registered, and the active file of applicants continues to grow in spite of the heavy drain on it due to the defense program and the improvement in employment con ditions in general. At the end of May, 47,148 persons were register ed with the Employment Service, and on June 30 this figure had in creased to 51,492, a gain of 9.2 per cent. The Unemployment Compensa tion Division reported a 49 per cent decline in benefits paid in June as compared with June of last year. The number of pay ments dropped 53.8 per cent. In other words, last month the Com mission paid $115,061 in benefits, represented in 16,503 checks. This was in contrast to $225,776 and 35,703 checks in June of 1940. During the first six months of this calendar year the Commission issued a total of 115,123 checks embracing $774,025. In the first six months of 1940, the depart ment issued 198,041 checks in volving $1,251,288. The State Unemployment Ccin- pensation Commission, through its coordinate divisions Unemploy ment Compensation and Employ ment Service, seeks to place all qualified workers in suitable jobs and to pay cash benefits to those for whom work can not be found, provided they meet the several eligibility requirements in the law. The employment service itself does not hire the workers—it at tempts to ivate vacancies with employers land refer qualified workers to those openings. X One Waiting Week Under New Job Insurance Law Columbia, July 22.—Under the new South Carolina Unemploy ment Compensation Law, claim ants for cash total and partial job insurance benefits are required to serve a waiting period of only one week in a “benefit year.” Under the old law the waiting period was two weeks. Officials explained that a clai mant’s benefit year is the 52 con secutive-week period beginning with the filing of his first valid claim for benefits. If he has al ready had one benefit year, his new benefit year begins when he next files a valid claim. The commission explained that under the amended law a clai mant’s second week of total, or partial, unemployment becomes the first for which he may receive benefits. However, benefits for that second week cannot be paid until a claim covering the period is received, which means that a claimant is generally in his third week of unemployment before his first job insurance check arrives* Thereafter checks arrive weekly until the claimant’s benefit rights are either exhausted or he again enters gainful employment. No claimant may receive more than 16 times his weekly benefit amount in a benefit year. Claims for benefits are filed through local State Employment Service offices. READ THE AD$ Along With the News
