Carolina are increased 20 cents per hundred pounds, Mr. E. H. Talbert, district director of the Office of Price Administration at Columbia, has announced. At the same time, and for June only, the minimum diameter of potatoes qualifying for the ceiling on U. S. No. 1 grade, is reduced from 1 7-8 to 1 1-2 inches. The ' 20 cents per hundred pounds increase in prices applies to sales made by growers and may be passed along to the retail purchaser. It may mean an in crease of approximately 1-4 cent per pound, Mr. Talbert said. Both of the changes were made so that growers may, to some ex tent, recoup losses suffered by the early potato crop because of harsh weather conditions. lunchrooms, large boarding houses schools and in-plant feeding fa- eiiities which do their own baking has been announced by E.

Allotments of sugar to indus trial users for the third quarter beginning July 1 will be deter mined on the same percentages of base neriod use as those used during the current ouarter. E. H. Talbert, district OPA director at Columbia, has announced. The allotments for all industrial users, except drug manufacturers, is 80 per cent of the amount of sugar the user consumed during thf* corresnonding months of 1941. Makers of drug and pharmaceuti cal nroHucts will continue to re ceive 125 per cent of the amount thev used during the base period. The 80 per cent figure applies to users as makers of bread Hoi-or.. nrndue*s. condensed milk in containers of oneeallonor less, soft drinks, mavonnaise and salad dressing, candy. cocoa, chewing gum. canned and bottled foods, and users of sugar in ex perimental. demonstration and testing work. The sales plan that gives pur chasers of rayon and lisle hosiery membership in so-called Nylon Priority Clubs—giving them pri ority to nurchase nylon hosiery as soon as it is available if they pur chase other hosiery now—is in violation of the nvlon hosiery regulation. E. H. Talbert, district director of OPA at Columbia, has announced. It is not nessary for the nublic to loin such a club in order to get nylons when nylons are again available, the director pointed out. Three changes in the rent regu lations, designed to liberalize ex isting provisions covering the e- viction of tenants for occupancy by the purchaser, have been an nounced by E. H. Talbert, district director of OPA at Columbia. The changes, which became ef fective June 9. were: 1. The provision requiring 20 ner cent down payment on a ten- ated house which the purchaser wishes tn occupv has been liberal ised so that under certain condi tions a part of the down nayment may be made from borrowed monev. Funds may be borrowed on other real estate for a part of the down payment, providing the value of the security, plus any payment made from funds not borrowed, is equal to 20 per cent of the purchase price of the new property. i 2. Area rent directors are no loneer required to grant eviction certificates with the choice of either no waiting period or a i three-month waiting period. They may now, at their discretion, grant eviction certificates with waiting periods of less than three months. . 3. The three-month waiting period after the issuance of an eviction certificate by the rent director will now start from the day the petition for the certifi cate is filed by the landlord with the rent director. Previously the waiting period began with the issuance date of the certificate. X J i. Farm Nfaws (By G. W. Bonnette, County Agent) Be on your guard—the boll weevil is marching and many ot your cotton squares have already been placed on the casualty list. I have already delivered the “Farmer cooperative order” of a- bout 6,000 gallons of molasses and have your arsenate in the office. Our ammunition dump is all here. Don’t fail to get yours and get in to the fight. I walked a few steps in Pete Brunson’s cotton field and found a boll weevil on the first plant i examined. He is in your cotton, so don’t fool yourself. Use the 1-1-1 mixture (1 gal. wateV, 1 gal. molasses, and 1 lb. arsenate) apply 2 or 3 applica tions at intervals of from 5 to 7 days. “Mop and mix” may be used in the same manner. Our small grain crop, taking it as a whole, is very satisfactory. Extremely high yields are very common throughout the county. The large terracing outfit is on H. T. Christian’s place at present. This machinery is now responsi- 1 ble for about 175 thousand feet of good terraces. For information to some folks who don’t understand the construction of terraces with a blade outfit, these terraces may look a little large but when the land is plowed or harrowed you will find very neat terraces. Out in the Dowtin section we have i several examples of how these i terraces will look. See the coun ty agent or soil technician and make application if you want your place terraced.
