C. *-M Farmers arid other shippers of perishables were advised by the Office of Price Administration to exercise caution to making ship ments in farm trucks on dubious tires during the months of August and September. OPA cited the critical shortage of large-size tires used by trucks and buses, resulting from sharply increased military demands. Na tional quotas have been slashed to the lowest figure since rationing began and a majority of local War Price and Rationing Boards will have no replacement tires for trucks stranded on the side of the road through tire failures. Starting trips on risky tires dur ing the critical periods might re sult to spoilages of valuable car goes, OPA said. X Card of Thanks From J.

Clemson,—July 24. —* With war supplies demanding a , large a- niount of high-grade cotton, both armers and ginners are -^rged to begin work now to meet this need, says S. A. Williams, Clemson ex tension cotton ginning specialist. . The better grades , of potton have shown a steady decline dur ing the past 10 years, Mr. Wil iams points out. The percentage of cotton grading strict middling and better (white and extra .white) dropped from 43 per cent in 1935 to 7.7 per cent in 1942. ast year this percentage rose to about 15^ per cent. A part of this decline in the setter grades can be traced to the methods of handling seed cotton on the farms and a part to the way the cotton is ginned. Prac tices suggested by which the situ ation can be remedied are set iorth by Mr. Williams. The farmers may: 1. Prevent weevil damage as much as possbile during growing season. 2. Pick cotton as dry as practi cal. 3. Pick before weather damage 4. Keep trash out. 5. Keep good cotton separately. The ginners may: 1. Gin with loose seed rolls. 2. Keep gin saws and ribs in good condition. 3. Operate gin saws at a speed of 600 to 700 r. p. m. (Care must be taken in speeding up saws to see that no other' parts of the gin are speeded up.) 4. Keep brushes or air blast system in good prder. 5. Use cleaning and extracting equipment. “The good farmer keeps bon’;s 6.

I am hum bly grateful for your confidence and loyal support. I shall attempt to perform the duties of this of fice in a faithful and fearless manner and endeavor to live up t: the high trust which you have placed in me. Sincerely, JEFF D. GRIFFITH.
