State Fair
October 20-25
Columbia, Oct. 14.—Paul V. Moore
of Moore, Spartanburg county, the
veteran secretary of the South
Carolina State Fair, which is to be
held in Columbia the week of
October 20-25, is all smiles these
days because the fair he has ar
ranged this year comes nearer
being his “ideal” fair than any
that he has managed in his long
career. He does not claim that
the forthcoming edition of the
State Fair is perfect. Far from
that, but he does believe that he
has reached a new point in fairs
this year.
Mr. Moore has been working for
years for a well-rounded fair that
is educational and entertaining.
He believes a fair has a dual pur
pose, to inform and to amuse, and
he has hit a happy balance in this
year’s program.

Special Parity Money
Urged To S. C.
Farmers With ’41
Crop Failure
Clemson, Oct. 11.—The State
Agriculture Planning Committee,
at a meeting in Columbia, Oct. 7,
recommended that a special parity
payment be made to South Caro
lina cotton and tobacco farmers
who produced in 1941 less than 50
per cent of the 1941 marketing
quotas of cotton and tobacco, says
Director D. W. Watkins of the
Clemson College Extension Serv
ice, who is chairman of the Plan
ning Committee. The payment
would be at the parity price on
that poundage equal to the differ
ence between the farmer’s 1941
production, and 50 per cent of his
marketing quota.
The Committee further recom
mends that surplus wheat be dis
tributed to South Carolina farm
families with gross incomes less
than $500 in 1941.
In a report explaining its recom
mendations the Planning Com
mittee says in part:
“As a result of unfavorable
weather conditions and unusually
heavy boll weevil damage a large
oercentage of South Carolina
farmers have suffered a disastrous
failure of their cotton crop in 1941,
ird face the prospect of the short
est cotton crop in over 50 years.
Many tobacco farmers have also,
as a result of weather conditions,
suffered heavy losses in their
tobacco yields.
“In addition, these unfavorable
weather conditions have prevented
large numbers of farmers from
producing food and feed to carry
them through the winter.
“This disastrous situation, when
considered in the light of the ris
ing prices farmers are having to
pay for the things they buy, is
bound to result in hardship and
malnutrition, for large numbers of
farm people throughout the state.
Thousands of substantial farmers
face bankruptcy and ruin, and
many small farmers, tenants,
sharecroppers, and wage hands
will endure untold human suffer
ing unless some form of aid can be
extended to partly compensate for
this loss of income.
“In addition, this loss of income
will cause many farm families to
be unable to participate in the
1942 nationwide agricultural pro- I
gram for the production of farm
commodities vital to national de
fense and welfare because of their
inability to seed and fertilize zieed-
ed crops and expand, or in many
cases even maintain, their present
production of poultry, dairy, raid
livestock products.”

aria of the mercurial Figaro and
Rosina’s lovely “Una Voce Poco
Fa”, sparkling soprano show-piece,
