Those who participate in this practice rnd meet certain requirements will receive cash assistance at the rate of $1.50 per acre for the planting of cowpeas and velvet beans and at the same time they \h*y harvest the seed. Those who are interested in this practice should consult their county agent or county 'AAA officials for de tails. • 1 Hollywood Theatre •Tf It’s At The Hollywood It’s Good” McCormick, S. C.

A measure designed to prevent retail meat dealers from gaining control of slaughtering houses, or vice versa, has been taken by OP A controlling the amount of meat that can be diverted to any affil iated outlet. OPA said that the amendment was directed at gaining a more ev en distribution of meat in all com munities and preventing the con trol of any market by an individ ual or group of affiliated persons. More Prices Drop. The 'Sugar shortage has result ed in one bright spot for house wives, at least, with OPA announc ing that canned fancy and choice fruits will drop about two cents apiece in their retail listings on the new 1945 pack. These fruits must be packed in light syrup rather than heavy or extra heavy syrups as before, the agency said, and the result will be a lower net cost to the buying public. . . Examples of the fruits affected by the change are yellow cling peaches, Bartlett pears, and apri cots. White Potato Ceilings. Ceiling prices for winter and spring crop early white potatoes grown during the 1945-46 season will be the same as those in ef fect during the past season, OPA has announced, except as tempo rarily adjusted for crop disasters. For purposes of price control, early white potatoes are defined as those planted after September 1 and harvested between the fol lowing November 1 and' July 1. Bicycle Ceilings Retained. Present dollar-and-cent ceiling prices for bicycles made to war time specifications will remain in effect despite the WPB order re moving manufacturing restraints, OPA has announced. Manufacturers may now pro duce pre-war model bikes, the agency reminded but some have indicated their intention to con tinue making the wartime models. Fur Price Controls. No furs or fur garments have been released from price control, OPA has reminded. A recent directive by another Federal agency apparently gave the impression that these price ceilings had been removed, the OPA said, and this statement was issued to clear up any misunder standings that may have resulted.

However, all meat of fered for sale in any quantities is subject to OPA regulations which require a slaughter permit, grad ing and labeling, and cannot be sold in excess of ceiling prices. Full ration points must be paid by the purchaser to the seller for cancellation, said Mr. Talbert. Operators of food lockers can accept carcasses for storage in lockers from owners of the meat without violating OPA regulations requiring grade and label, provid ed the farmer or owner first break the carcass and certify that none of the meat is to b^ offered for sale, Mr. Talbert added. Farmers who produce and slaughter animals for personal or family consumption are not re quired under OPA regulations to grade and label meat likewise, 1 live animals purchased for home use only can be slaughtered with out an OPA permit, provided the live animals have been fed for a period of 60 days but such pur chasers and feeding has been su pervised by the owner as much as one-third of the time, Edward H. Talbert, OPA District Director in Columbia, stated. Under OPA regulations, persons producing meat solely for person al or family consumption are not required to have an OPA slaught- Consumers buying clothing from catalogs of mail-order houses will pay approximately the same prices this fall as they paid in 1943, it was announced yesterday by OPA District Director E. H. Talbert. This will come as a direct result of a voluntary movement on the part of mail-order houses, in con junction with OPA, to make more low and medium-priced clo’hing available soon. At the same J ime, Talbert said that reports the 1 OPA had suspended its “program 4 - put more low and medium p: iced clothing on dealers’ shelves is false. “OPA will carry t^v ugh the program as originally an nounced,” Mr. Talbert said. -xx- A Late Summer Farming Guide Some of the many phasas of farm work important for attention in late summer are listed below by County Agent G. W. Bonnette. Agronomy Plan now for abundant winter legumes and legume and small grain mixtures for soil improve ment. Do not pull fodder; it is ex tremely disagreeable and expens ive and it reduces the yield of corn. Save farm seed of all kinds for 1946 plantings. x We must have more grain for livestock, so plan for the biggest small grain crop ever planted. Ord'r lime materials now. Plan to save every available pound of hay. Plan now to obtain good clean wheat and other small grain seed. Horticulture Plant the fall Victory garden for better farm living. Be sure to plant large patches of turnips and other greens, e- nough for the entire farm. Plant more beans. A late Au gust planting often brings a good price. I After peach harvest, cut out all broken limbs, as a preventive for shot-hole borers. Clean up ground where vegeta bles have matured, to lessen in sect and disease damage next season. Insects and Diseases Plan now to make next year’s wheat, oat, and barley crop as disease-free as possible. Plow under crop remnants soon after harvest to destroy insects. Control bean beetles with ro- tenone or cryolite dust or spray. Begin cleaning up the orchard and destroy fallen fruit. Clean up all flybreeding places and use formaldehyde poison and traps. Clean corn cribs of all weevil- infested refuse. Examine wheat for “weevil” damage and fumigate if necessary. Requeen bees. Agricultural Engineering Get the mower and rake in good condition for hay harvest. Check over and repair all types of farm machinery while repair parts are available. Make needed repairs to corn cribs and other storage buildings. Make grain storage buildings rat-proof. Investigate the possibilities of installing running water in the house by using a hand pump, hy draulic ram, or other low-cost sys tem. Also investigate possibilities of garden irrigation \ from small streams. FINAL SETTLEMENT STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, County Of McCormick. In The Court Of Probate. Notice is hereby given that Mi's.
