Clemson, Feb. 24. — First state prize of $750 in the 5-Acre Cotton Contest for 1944 was awarded to day to T. E. Benton, Timmons- ville, who produced 6,370 pounds of 1 3-16 inches length on 5 acres. Awards of the two state and six district prizes were made at a meeting in Columbia attended by representatives of the Cotton Man ufacturer’s Association of South Carolina, which provides the prize money; officials and workers of the Clemson Extension Service, which conducts the contest “for better yield and staple length”; seed breeders; and other agricul tural leaders. Second state prize of $275 was a- warded to B. M. Smith, Johnston, for production of 6,230 pounds of one inch length. In the Upper District Peter Ush er, Bennettsville, was awarded first prize, $200; and F. C. Spears, Ben nettsville, was awarded second prize, $125. Middle District prize winners were R. E. McLendon, Bishopville, first prize, and J. R. White, Sum ter, second prize. In the Lower District J. E. Hut to, Reesville, was awarded first prize, and R. E. Williams, Estill, was awarded second prize. All prize winners used highly bred strains of Coker varieties. These eight prize winners aver aged 1144.6 pounds of lint per acre. The 380 farmers in the con test averaged 769 pounds of lint per acre. Extension Director D. W. Wat kins cited the notable increase in state average yield from 182 pounds in 1926 to 372 pounds in 1944, an increase which the cot ton contest has helped bring about, apd said regarding improvement in quality: “An equally remarkable develop ment has been the change in the character of cotton produced. In 1926 less than 20 per cent of the entire crop was over 15-16 inch in staple length and now over 90 per cent is one inch or longer. New de velopments in breeding indicate the possibility that quick dissemi nation of varieties through such devices as the cotton contest will help cotton survive the keen post war competition of synthetic fi bers in the service of mankind.” WIN YOUR RACE For Business Supremacy By Advertising O! •'V j~JL*r***** AT FIRST SIGN OF A Cr-666 Cold Preparations as-directed!. Launch Program To Educate Pedestrians In Safe Walking Need Columbia, S. C., February 20. — The State Highway Department’s program to educate pedestrians to the need for safe walking was launched officially today when Governor Ransome J. Williams is sued a proclamation urging South Carolinians to “cooperate whole heartedly” in the endeavor. In the presence of State High way Commissioner J. S. Williamson and W. L. Hardeman, Director of the Motor Vehicle Division, Gov ernor Williams signed the procla mation and expressed the hope that pedestrian deaths in the state would be cut appreciably as a result of the Highway Depart ment’s intensive educational pro gram. “Figures indicate that approxi mately every three days through out the past year, a South Caro linian walked to his death”, the Governor said. ( “I am sure that every resident of the state will agree with me that these are shocking figures which do not lie. They have been com piled and checkid with painstak ing care. , “At a time when every possible precaution is being taken to con serve our human and economic re sources for a successful prosecu tion of the war, it is a matter of deep concern to me that sharp in roads are made into these “stock piles” by careless walking. “I feel confident the citizens of South Carolina will appreciate the seriousness of this situation and make every effort to walk with extreme care in the future.” Commissioner Williamson point ed out the program will continue through April 30. State Highway Patrolmen will stop pedestrians in the rural districts, he said, and present each with a small cara On this card will be the current pedestrian death toll, six basic safe walking rules and a pledge that the pedestrian may sign. The pledge indicates his willingness tc observe the safe walking rules and his cooperation in informing other pedestrians of the need for safe walking. “The personal contact pro gram,” Commissioner Williamson said, “is being adopted since re views of accident reports indie ite that personal factors enter \ jy strongly into the picture. Mi iy pedestrians do not fully reali? i? serious and often fatal cct-se quences of careless walking. < i- ers know the rules full well Jt neglect to obey them in the inter est of saving a minute or two of their time.
