McCormick Farms 1
Hurt By Drought
Cotton Yield To Be £ess Than
Fourth.
Petit Jurors For
First Week Of
October Term Court
Several hundred McCormick
county farmers met Monday
morning at the court house here
to discuss ^measures for relief
from drought in this area.
M. A. Bouknight, county agent,
reviewed the situation of the
farmers, estimating a yield of
less than one-fourth of the regu
lar cotton crop. Last year the
county produced around 6,000
bales of cotton and it is already
evident that less than 1,500 bales
will be ginned in the entire county.
Mr. Douknight predicted the
yield of foodstuffs as “fairly
good” and urged farmers to plant
fall gardens and try to make the
best of following through this
year with the Better Farm Living |
Program.
A committee was elected to
study conditions and proceed with
some plan for relief. Sen. L. L.
Hester of Mt. Carmel was elected
chairman with the following mem-*
bers: C. E. Wilkie, Plum Branch;
B. P. v Talbert, Rep. H. c. Brown
and Ed. C. Cheatham, McCormick.
' Suggestions from the group
were that the committee insist
upon loan extension, revision of
the average yield and crop insur
ance plan, and work projects for
the immediate relief of small
farmers.

Cotton farmers who have insuf
ficient labor on their farms to
harvest their crop this fall are in
vited to use their State Employ
ment Service office, located on
the second floor of McCormick
County Courthouse, Manager H.
Gerard Hartzog said today.
The manager said a call made
recently through this newspaper
for pickers had brought excellent
results and that a large number
of workers had registered in order
to be ready for jobs when they
open up. He again extended his
call for workers to register, say
ing indications are that there will
be a good demand for pickers this
year.
The official requested cotton
armers to anticipate their labor
needs as far in advance as possi
ble so as to give his office ample
time to line up the necessary help.
Workers registered with the of-
ice are usually located through
call-in cards sent out through the
mails, through telephone calls if
they can be reached that way, and
requently through personal auto
mobile caUs of the Employment
Service personnel. In other words,
no effort is spared to find the
workers when needed. This is the
job of the Employment Service,
the manager added
