THE NEWBERRY SUN SOLDIER’S LIFE LITTLE EASIER THAN BEFORE Soldiers of the United States army of 1940 will have a better chance to build physical strength and morale than did their fathers 25 years ago who were trained by the long accept ed method of roughing it. Times have changed, and standards of living are just as high in the army today as in civilian life due to the wide use of modern appliances, according to a recent suivey made by the American Gas association. Food now means more han mere chow. For the new soldiers, food will be selected for high nutritive value and Will be cooked properly on tem perature-controlled gas ranges. Clean liness is considered an essential aid to health and there will be plenty of hot water for baths in warm quar ters. « Officials of the gas industry work ing in close co-operation with the government report that large quanti ties of domestic and heavy duty ranges, water heaters, space heaters and other gas-operated appliances will equip army quarters. The indus try also is co-operating at full speed in making gas quickly available for use at all proposed training camps and flying fields. America’s permanent army and navy posts are said to lead the world in comfort and convenience, made possible through the use of scientific gas equipment in dormitory buildings, hospitals, laundries, and mess halls as well as in the official residences of both commissioned and non-commis sioned officers. During 1939, 42 army posts utilized gas for all purposes in cluding cooking, water heating, house heating and refrigeration, while 72 posts used gas for cooking and water heating. An equally heavy utilization was required by the three bureaus of the navy department in all their shore activities.

Newberry County cotton growers will vote on Saturday, December 7, along with other cotton growers of the nation, to determine whether they wish a marketing quota to apply to their 1941 crop. The quota will go into effect only if approved by two- thirds of the farmers voting. Marketing quotas have been in ef fect for the last three years, County Agent P. B. Ezell points out. The 1940 quota was approved last fall by 91.2 percent of the nation’s grow ers who voted in the referendum. As in former years, the county AAA committee will be in charge of the referendum. Plans are now being made locally for holding the vote in each community. The Secretary of Agriculture de clared a 1941 marketing quota in September when it was determined that the supply of American eotton, on August 1, 1940, totaled 24,900,000 bales or 137 percent of the “normal” supply, which is 18,200,000 bales. Under the Agricultural Adjustment Act, a marketing quota must be de clared when supplies reach 107 per cent of normal. The national quota for 1941 is the same as the one in effect this year, and will make possible the market ing, through the quota program, of about 12 million bales during the year beginning August 1, 1941. “Newberry County’s cotton growers are familiar with marketing quotas,” Mr. Ezell says, “since they have used them for three seasons to avoid add ing to our already large cotton sup ply, to protect the markets of farm ers who plant within their AAA acreage allotments, and to prevent growers who overplant from defeat ing the work of farmers who are try ing to balance the cotton supply with market demand and normal carry over.” ^Itching CerPiuir , Ms Fist Wtf -jfUnirlick For quick relief from itching of ecze-na, pimples,' athlete’s foot, scabies, rashes and other ex ternally caused skin troubles, use world-famous, cooling, antiseptic, liquid D.D.D.

MANNING BUG GASSED Fumes Once Used on People Turned on Weevils Clemson, Nov. 3.—iChloropicrin, a gas employed in the last war against people, now seems to show promise as an industrial fumigant against in sects says W. C. Nettles, extension entomologist pointing out that Con trol of grain insects should aid the better farm living program and re duce the imports from othei states of large quantities of com meal and grits during the summer months. Limited experience in this section in dicates that it might best be used in flour and feed mills and in tight ly constructed warehouses or bins where grain is stored, he states. A recent check up on the control obtained with chloropicrin on grain insects was made in the Farmers’ Cooperative Warehouse, at Manning, Mr. Nettles reports. Extermination of weevils in 800 bushels of grain was indicated. S. J. Brogdon, mana ger, in discussing the future of chlo ropicrin, stated that he believed in large quantities the cost would not exceed one-fourth of a cent per bush el for small grain or shelled com. However, be warned that chloropicrin is a powerful tear gas. per loo pounds Make Kraut while Cabbage Are Cheap C. T. Summer,Inc.
