T HE next important event of Bol

seafon is the forthcoming Acadetty
Award dinner, and although It is
more than a month away. 4here is
already much speculation as to prhd
will receive die Oscars for the best
performances of 1945.
Those on the inside insist It will
be Bay Mllland for his magnificent
interpretation of
the dipsomaniac in
Charles Jackson's
"The Lost
end." and
Crawford for the
much - discussed
"Mildred Pierce."

Hollywood 21 *ears

by MGM two years
ago a i being

Bay.Mllland undoubtedly be the
most startling
comeback of the year, even if she
falls to win the coveted award.
Others mentioned are Cornel Wilde;
Ingrid Bergman for both "Bells of
St., Mary's" and "Spellbound”, Gene
Tierney tor her portrayal of the
vixen in **Leave Her to Heaven."
and Gregory Peck.
It is generally agreed, too, that
"Lost Weekend” will be named the
best picture of the year, but it is
our personal opinion that this award
should be reserved for. "The Valley
of Decision," one of the finest pic
tures made in recent years.

Program Sets New
Recpiftl For 1^45

and beginning complete farm soil

State, Regional Conservator T. S.|
Buie of the Soil Ck*p$flrya#<m Ser
vice reported today.
"During the last 12 months more
than 2,407 South Carolina farm
ers received assistance from Soil
Conservation Service technicians
assigned to the cpstricts to start-

tog complete programs for eroskm |
control and food land use op ap
proximately 451,553 acres," the
Sputhestern regional conservator
said, in 1044, a total of 1,154 far
mers becapie district epoperators.
Dr. Buie, who has headquarters ]
in Spartanburg, S. C., s^id ^iat
«no& measule erf the soil con
servation progress of th$ past year
is that about, 18* per cent Of "'‘ -
total nuinber of Sojith Caroling I
farmers now cooperating with dis
tricts tjegan this program in 1945.1
Hfe said, that, at the beginning of
the, 1 new year, 13,396 South Caro-,
l^na farmers ware epoperating
with their districts in carrying out
cqnmiqte spty conservation plans
on 2,316,980 acres. The Upper Sa- j
*&>***$ i^#t cp^i^ng Anc^r-
son, Oconee, and Pickens Counties |
to 1937 was .the State’? first dis
trict "to be organized.
1 "aOjie progress made last year is I
all the more remarkable because'
of'the shortages or limited a-
eqvpgghent, 1 and
materials as a result of the war,* 1
Dr. Buie said. "It could not have
1 ppssjhjle without the active;
leadership of the farmers them-
through their localiy-elect-
ed supervisors, . nor could it have
possible without the great a- |
mount of support received from
non-farra individuals and groups)
such as bankers, teachers, mini
sters, civic clubs, newspaper edi
tors, manufacturers, business men,!
and others living in towns and]
cities." /
Dr. Buie predicted that in 1946]
•South Carolina soil conservation I
districts would s^t another record.
In fact,” he said, "if only the|
rate of progress during the last
six months of 1945 is maintained
during the next 12 months, at I
least 3,500 farmers will become!
district cooperators. But we con
fidently expect the soil conserva
tion program to move even faster
than that this year, because train
ed technicians are returning rap- ]
idly now from the armed forces,
and because of the growing inter-,
est and support of both farm and,
non-farm people.”
But the regional, conservator I
warned that “we should not feel
complacent shout the progress now
being made, because South Caro
lina is still losing more land
through erosion than if is saving.
Whatever progress we make in I
1946 will not be enough; we must
double and redouble our efforts
until all the land of every farm is]
placed under a soil conservation
program that uses all the land ac
cording to its capabilities and
treats it according to its needs.”
Looking back to the war years.
Dr. Buie said that "soil conserva
tion farming very definitely help
ed farmers to make their out
standing records in the production
of foods, feeds, fibers, and fats.”
As an example, he cited a sum
mary of reports made by 315 rep
resentative district cooperators in
South Carolina. They reduced cot
ton acreage 22 per cent but 'pro
duced 1 1-2 per cent more bales
of lint. Although they planted
3,310 fewer acres to corn, they
continued to harvest as much
-orn. With the return of formerly
idle land to use, with,more feed
>nd hay production, and with
more and better pastures, these
315 farmers had 112 per cent mere
cattle and 67 per cent more hogs.
‘ Soil Conservation farming can
^c’p South Carolina farmers to
make whatever production adjust
ments may be necessary during
hn reconversion period,” Dr. Buie
'lid. ‘‘A complete farm soil con-
,2ivation plan shows the farmer
vhat each field can be used safely
to grow, and what treatment is
required to protect the land from
irosion damage. Soil conservation
'.nd diversified farming go hand
;n hand.”
In commenting on soil conserva
tion progress in the Southeastern
region of the Soil. Conservation
Service, . Dr^ ..Buie. reported- that
