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.
