PAGE SIX THE NEWBERRY SUN FRIDAY, APRIL II, 1941 ARMY BUYING OFFICE PUT IN COLUMBIA Columbia, April 6. — One of the thirty army purchasing- offices will be located in Columbia and will buy supplies for Fort Jackson and Camp Croft, according to announcement from John A. Martin, chief, perish able foods section. “The announcement, although in dicating that several additional of fices will be located in adjacent states, some of which may supply certain of the government outfits in this state, does not mean that South Carolina products may not be purchased by any or all of them,” says George E. Prince, chief of the Clemson college extension market ing division. “South Carolina grow ers, cooperatives, shippers, or whole sale dealers will have the privilege of bidding on all supplies on which bids are requested by any of these officers.” Mr. Prince points out to all South Carolina farmers who are produc ing primarily for army camps the present requirements of the pur chasing of army supplies; that is, first, that the product must be in quantity and standardized as to packages and according to federal grades (this may mean shipping point inspected); second, that bids must be submitted and goods bought on contract from a respon sible party who can guarantee de livery; and, third, that the lowest bid, all other things being equal, will be accepted. It seems that many of the South Carolina truck growers have al ready anticipated this increased de mand, for the acreages this year of some of the vegetable crops have been tripled. Those growers who have planted primarily to sell to the army posts should immediately se cure information as to how purchases are to be made, Mr. Prince advises. They should conlult their county ag ricultural agents as to federal grades which will be the basis of purchases, also as to the location of army pur chasing offices with information as to the products they have and when available. “It seems very doubtful that far mers will be able to sell in less than carlot quantities. This does not mean that they should be discouraged from diversifying or trying to grow pro ducts needed, but that they should secure information as to how pro ducts will be purchased, and how the growers must handle their pro duce. Grower cooperatives may be of great advantage in selling and mar keting their crops,” the marketing agent concludes. FARMERS APRIL GUIDE (ON CARE OF LIVESTOCK Reminding busy farmers that spring care of livestock is important. County Agent P. B. Ezell, suggests these pointers: Animal Husbandry This is a good month to sell fat hogs. Plant Biloxi soybeans for hog grazing. Castrate pigs at three to six weeks of age and use pine tar to control screw worms. Give suck ling sows all they will eat of a well balanced ration. Shear sheep after the last cold spell and dip entire flock immediately after shearing. Castrate beef calves at four to fen weeks of age, using the “Burdizzo” pincors and thus preventing screw worm infestation. Watch for screw worm cases. Use pine tar on the navals of new bom animals. (Dairying Continue liberal grain ration, to cows in milk especially. Interplant plenty of com and soybeans or plant sorghum and soybeans for ensilage for next winter. Provide Sufficient acreage for soybeans or peavine hay to furnish two tons of hay for each mature cow (one-half that for year lings). Seed heavily to hold down grass growth. Seed one-fourth to one-half acre per milk cow in pearl millet for summer grazing as a sup plement to pasture. Keepc ows off pasture in early April to give pas ture a good start. Poultry Feed chicks liberally a well balanc ed ration in clean hoppers. If chicks are breeded in a permanent brooder house or on ground where chicks were breeded last year, move the pul lets to clean range shelter as soon as the cockerels are sold for broil ers. Select best cockerels for next year’s breeders. Keep old hens lay ing by providing a laying mash. LONG LONE CLUB MEET The Long Lane Home Demonstra tion club met at the school house Ap ril 4th.

Spot cotton markets were more active last week, reflecting the un usually favorable mill situation, and while the volume of sales cloth and yam were smaller than the usually large volumes in other recent weeks, mill prices continued strong. Crop {Retarded Reports of the weather bureau and from other sources showed that con tinued cool weather and' rains in the South further retarded seasonal operations on farms. The 10-market average of 11.11 cents for middling 15.16 on April 4 was 22 points higher than a week earlier and compared with 10.58 cents a year ago. The high point of 11.21 cents reached on Thursday was a new high for this season to date. Prices for old crop futures in New York advanced 24 points and new crop contracts 28 to 33 paints for the week. A few changes in grade and staple differences were re ported. Sales Total 239,000 Bales Spies of 239,000 bales were report ed in the 10 markets against 169,000 in the previous week and 59,010 bales in the corresponding week lust year. Domestic mills and merchants were active buyers, and purchases covered a wide range of staples and grades. Offerings by farmers were small in volume. Trading in foan equities continuad active and total repossessions reported through March second approximated 859,000 bales or about 108,000 bales more than on March 26. Total loan stocks, in cluding cotton owned by the govern ment are now about 10,400,000 bales. While mill sales of cloth and yam has decreased during recent weeks, the volume of unfilled orders appar ently is sufficient to sustain mill ac tivity through a considerable period even if mill sales should be substan tially less than production. Mill prices for cloth and yarn continued strong although some goods were sold by holders other than mills at a lit tle under quoted prices. MAYBANK RAPS STRIKES, IS APPLAUDED Fort Jackson, April 6.—Between fifty and sixty thousand civilians, in cluding governors of three states took an all-day look at “their army” today at Fort Jackson where the 36,- 000 soldiers of the 8th and 30th div isions bud “open house” in a big army day celebration. High lighting the day were ad dresses by Governor J. M. Brough ton of North Carolina; Governor Burnet Maybank of South Carolina and Governor Prentiss Cooper of Tennessee; a mass patriotic service, a parade by the 28th infantry, 8th division, and a review by the 30th division. Governor Maybank pledged South Carolina’s civilian cooperation and said, it was “not fair” for soldiers to train to defend their country and then “have strikes delay ammunition and supplies which you need.” He added, amid applause, “we don’t pro pose to have strikes around here.” Striking a serious note in the day’s activities was an address by Brigidier General James P. Marley, commtamding general, when he ask ed a mass patriotic service crowd to “take pride in the part which the army has played in forging of this great nation” but warned “we must bend our best efforts to the forging of a combat division—and it must be done now.” General Marley said “don’t be misled. This war is ... an all-out bid for centralized domination o* the world by the chosen race. “Our people have decided that none of these things shall happen to us or ours. The people are serious about this matter.” he said. “That is why you, and I, are here. That is the reason why millions more of our young men are going to be re quired to spend one year preparing themselves to oppose such a force as I have mentioned, if such be comes necessary.” Personal Items Mrs. Clyde Taylor 2nd little daugh ter, Peggy, returned to their home in Florence Sunday after spending ten days with her mother, Mrs. D.
