Some of the most important he lists are: Agronomy Use winter cover crops to grow your next year’s fertilizer. Quality In ginned cotton will pay; pick clean, store dry, gin carefully, and top your market. There are phosphorus and potash reserves left in your cotton field, prepare to plant small grains and make use of them. Now is the time to secure limestone and Austral ian winter peas under AAA grants if possible. Prepare now for a permanent pasture next year. Keep strawberry beds free of weeds and grass. Set some selected new plants. Plant spinach seed in late September for winter and spring use. Sow turnips up to September 20th, Japanese foliage and Seventop for greens, and White Egg for roots. Keep fall garden crops well cultivat ed and fertilized. Sow seed late in September for “frost-proof” cabbage plants. Agricultural Engineering It is not too late to build a trench or box silo. Clean, oil, and store cul tivating machinery. Get mower and rake in good condition for cutting hay crops. If rat-proof grain storage buildings are needed, get plans thru county agent’s office. Pick cotton clean and dry in order to get better prices. Insects and Diseases Plow under tobacco stalks and other crop refuse to destroy feed and imma ture stages of insects. Remove dead and dying orchard trees and limbs and burn them to control insects. Knock off all diseased fruits after harvest to aid in disease control. Prepare to treat small grains for smut control or plant smut-resistant oats. Requeen bees. Plant oats to produce feed on wireworm-infested land. Repel screw- worm flies with pinetar oil and kill maggots with benzol. ASKS TEACHERS TO AID IN DRAFT You Are Auto Financing !s Our Business We will finance a new car for you.

Columbia, Sept 16.—Registration of an estimated 250,000 South Caro Hnians under the peace time draft bill signed today by President Roosevelt will be held in the various school houses in this state, with school teach ers being asked to help the regist rants fill out a rather “detailed ques tionaire,” Gov. Burnet Maybank an nounced tonight. Back From Flat Rock Governor Maybank, returning to night after a week-end at Flat Rock, N. C., announced at the executive mansion plans for this state’s hand ling the registration and drafting for army training eligible men be tween the ages of 21 and 35. “It will be a tremendous job,” the governor said. “I want it done right, without any politics and without any nonsense, to the best interest of the two million people in South Carolina. Registration day will be a state holiday he said. He said he was calling on South Carolina’s 15,000 school teachers to give aid in filling out the blanks saying, “This is a national emergency the teachers are patriotic, and they have the ability to aid in filling out the blanks. He termed the questionaires “complicated and lengthy.” With regard to registration boards, the governor said, there will be 83 in South Carolina. Some counties, he said will have but one, many will have more than one, population being the ruling factor. “For instance”, he added, “in Aiken county there will be two re gistration districts; in Anderson, three; in Spartanburg, five; in Green ville five; in Darlington, two; in Orangeburg, three. Of those South Carolinians called upon to register, the governor esti mated 140,000 will be white and 110,000 negroes. Each registration board will be composed of three members and a medical examiner. Announcement of the board members will be made Thursday. All Ready Beforehand Contracts for “the printing of the registration cards and the question aires have already been awarded, Governor Maybank said, and by day of registration, all will be in readi ness. He added that preparation for this peace time move had been under way for days in his office, which account ed for the progress made in forming plans for conducting the drafting.

Lominick Washington, Sept. 16.—President Roosevelt signed the draft act today, fixed October 16 as registration day for 16,500,000 young Americans now subject to compulsory military train ing, and asserted the United States was marshalling its strength to avert “the terrible fate of nations whose weakness invited attack.” Governors to Cooperate In addition the chief executive called upon the governors of the states to provide suitable places for the registration, urged local election officials, “and other patriotic citizens” to man the registration boards and asked employers to give their affected employees “sufficient time off” to pre sent themselves and fill out the forms. Mr Roosevelt, moreover, empha sized a section of the act and a phase of the building up of the army which received much discussion in Congress —the voluntary enlistment system. All between 18 and 35, inclusive, he said in a formal statement, will be offered an oportunity to volunteer for a one-year period of service and training, and those who offer them selves—provided they are suitable— are to be accepted before any others are selected. Credit for Volunteers Thus, an influx of volunteers from any particular area would reduce the quota of men conscripted from that area. The new law itself requires that all who on October 16 have attained the 21st anniversary of their birth and have not passed the thirty-sixth year must register. A national draw ing by lot will determine the order in which questionnaires, local boards will place them in various classifications —those available for immediate ser vice, those deferred because of de pendants, and so forth. The local boards will select suffi cient men from among those avail able for immediate service to fill the quota for the area. Those so select ed will undergo physical examinations and if they pass will be inducted into service for one year. In the military service,” Mr. Roosevelt said, “they will be intelli gently led, comfortably clothed, well fed, and adequately armed and equip ped for basic training. By the time they get physically hardened, men tally disciplined and properly trained in fundamentals, the flow of critical munieions from factory to combat units will meet the full requirements for their advanced training. All to Rub Elbows ‘In the military service, Ameri cans from all walks of life, rich and poor, country-bred and city-raised, farmer, student, manual laborer and white collar worker, will learn to live side by side, to depend upon each other in military drills and maneu vers, and to appreciate each other’s dignity as American citizens. “Universal service will bring not only greater preparedness to meet the threat of war, but a wider dis tribution of tolerance and understand ing to enjoy the blessings of peace.” Society and CLUB NOTES By DORIS ARMFIELD McCAUGHRIN-KILLINGSWORTH FARMERS REMINDED OF CLOSING DATE IN AAA PRACTICES Memorials / From Your Ideas Our sculptor-artisan will develop “sketchiest” ideas into a chastely charming monument.

Ezll that November 30 is the closing date for carrying out soil building practices under the 1940 AAA Farm Program. This means AAA program, must complete soil building practices by November 30 if they expect to receive credit on this year’s program. Farmers of Newberry County con tinued this year to carry out a broad program of soil-improving practices, and by so doing made a substantial contribution to the Nation’s agricul tural preparedness, Mr. Ezell said. “We are vitally concerned today with strengthening the defense of our Nation,” the county agent stat ed. “In this regard, we are fortunate in that we have an abundance of food and fiber now, and our farms are capable of producing plenty for fu ture use. The AAA Conservation program has given us the opportunity to overhaul and improve our “Farm factories’ until now they are able to supply any anticipated requirements.” Among the most important soil building practices carried out this year on Newberry County farms hav e been the following: 1. Construction of standard terraces Application of ground limestone Seeding winter legumes Seeding lespedeza Green manure cover crops. Seeding permanent pastures. Planting summer legumes Austrian winter peas in adition to ground limestone has been made available to county farmers by the AAA as grants of aid under the 1940 Farm Program, in an effort to assist farmers in earning full soil-building benefit payments. The grants of aid are obtained by calling at the Coun ty Agents’ Office and signing the necessary forms requesting the desir ed material. Notices have been sent all 1940 farm operators showing the approx imate amount of soil-building pay ment earned or unearned on each farm. This notice may be used as a guide to farmers in making requests for government assistance in carrying out soil-building practices. Mr. Ezell urges farmers desiring grants of aid through the AAA to file their requests with the county office as soon as possible. MT. TABOR LUTHERAN PARISH Rev. D. M. Shull, Pastor Mt.
