umpi p 5 z ■ K J t^AGE FOUR Local Merchants Given Instruction In Use of Cotton Stamps In anticipation of the issuance of Cotton Order Stamps to cotton far mers of Newberry county participat ing in the Supplementary Cotton Stamp Program, the Government is carrying on an extensive educational campaign to acquaint local retailers of cotton products with the Program’s operation. This announcement was made to day by Mr. P. B. Ezell, County Agri cultural Agent in stating that Mr. Chandler, a representative of the ' Surplus Marketing Administration planned to Tall personally on the manager of every retailer of cotton products in the county. “It is of utmost importance,’’ said Mr. Ezell “that these merchants and their clerks fully understand the rules and regulations governing the operation of the Pft-ogram. Retail merchants dealing in cotton goods will be one of the most important groups in this Program designed to help our cotton farmers, merchants, and the South’s Number 1 industry as a whole.” Many more citizens of the United States depend upon cotton for a liv ing than upon any other crop we grow. On 2,000,000 cotton farms of the South and Southwest more than 10,000,000 persons are dependent on cotton for the greater part of their income.” “The war has sharply curtailed our iexports of American cotton which more than any other American crop has been dependent on foreign buyers for its market. Accordingly, it is today more in the national interest than e^er before that we increase our domestic consumption of cotton goods grown, processed, and manu factured' in this country. Merchants, farmers, and the general public should cooperate in this important national objective of increased cot- I ton consumption.” H-D COLUMN By ETHEL L. COUNTS Just recently President Roosevelt called a National Nutrition Confer ence in Washington. This is the third conference ever called by a president of the United States and this very fact should make us realize the seriousness of the situation. In his message to the conference the president mentioned the fact that al though scientists have made out standing discoveries as to the am ounts and kinds of foods needed for maximum health and vigor yet every survey of nutrition shows that in the United States under nourishment is wide spread and serious. M. L. Wilson, Director of Exten sion Work, U. S. Department of Ag riculture and chairman of the nutri tion conference says, “Call it malnu trition, call it under nourishment, call it dietary deficiency or what you will, when men and women and chil dren fail to eat the foods, that give them full life and vigor, they are in fact starving.” Hon. Henry A. Wallace, Vice Pres ident of the United States says in his message, “We do not merely want to wipe out pellagra, rickets, and scurvy and reduce death losses from tuberculosis, but we want to make sure that our millions are so fed that their teeth are good, their diges tive systems healthy, their resist ance to premature old age enhanced through strong bddies and alert minds.” Mrs. Roosevelt said very emphati cally that we are very stupid if we did not do something with all of the knowledge that we have of nutri tion. In order to keep us thinking along these lines there will be a broadcast each Friday evening at 10:30 (east ern daylight saving time). This will come over the Red Net Work of the National Broadcasting System. The series called “Listen, Ameri ca”, hopes to present many celebrities so should be a very worthwhile pro gram. Keep this program in mfna and tune in for it.

FRIDAY, JULY 11, 1941 Loan Agency Prospers Fanners and stockmen in Newberry county have helped to increase the loan volume of the Clinton Production Credit Association during the first six months of the year, according to J. F .Hawkins of Newberry, who is Director of this farmers’ coopera tive credit organization. Reporting $280,000.00 loaned dur ing the first six months of the year, Mr. Hawkins said a good share of it went to finance seasonal operations of Newberry county farmers, stock- men and growers. Reports from all over the nation, Mr. Hawkins said, indicate that some time during July some farmer or stockmen somewhere in the United States will receive the two billionth dollar to be loaned by a Production Credit Association. This two billion dollars has been loaned to fanners on terms adapted to their individual needs thereby providing a dependable source of credit at reasonable cost. Since the Clinton Association began operation in 1934 it has loaned $2,- 202,033.00 to finance the need of its members in Newberry and Laurens counties. Livestock Needs Best of Care In Summer In midsummer livestock need care ful attention, says County Agent P. B. Ezell, who makes these timely suggestions for July: Animal Husbandry Keep hogs grazing on green for age. Arrange to turn hogs on corn when it is in the glazed stage. Res erve some permanent pasture to be grazed by beef cattle in late fall and early winter. Feed the workstock three times a day. Change pastures for livestock if possible. Provide shade and fresh water for all classes of livestock. Observe the livestock for screworms infestation and give treatment, if necessary. Dairying Mow pastures frequently. Destroy breeding places for flies, and use skimmilk-formaldlehyde poison (3 gallons of skimmilk, (1 pint of 40 per cent formalin, 1 pound of sugar) in shallow pan to kill flies. 3. As milk production falls off, supplement pas ture with balanced’ grain mixture. Feed up to two pounds of grain daily to growing stock to maintain normal growth . Keep milk or cream for manufacturing purposes in barrel or tub of cold well or spring water. If retail milk producer with surplus at this season, dry off all low producing cows that are bred for fall freshen ing. Poultry Keep mash before laying hens; it helps to keep their bodies cool and stimulates egg production. Reduce feed cost by culling non-layer* and not by reducing feed. Keep a grain feed before the pullets and don’t start feeding a laying mash until the birds are at least five months old. If troub led with roup or chicken pox in nast Poultry Short Course At Clemson College Clemson, June 30.—Announcing the twelfth annual state poultry short- course, which will be held at Clem son, August 26-28, P.

Perhaps that’s why cotton play clothes, business ensembles and summer formals become high fash ion during the summer months when every drop' of perspiration threatens loss of that irresistable charm—per sonal freshness. For perspiration contains common salt, soluble in water. That’s why t good soap and water laundering com pletely frees fabrics from even a lin- years, vaccinate pullets when two to ’ gering trace of perspiration odor, four months old.

Ralph Black reported to Atlanta Monday to begin a year’s service with the United States Army. Mr. Black, a graduate of The Citadel, is a res erve officer. Washington, July 6.—Names of the newest . draft registrants—the 21- year-olds who were signed up July 1 —will be mixed in with those of older men registered a year ago. This was announced officially to day by Bridgadier General Lewis B. Hershey, deputy director of selective service, who said it had been decided to integrate the names of the new registrants instead of placing them in a single group either ahead of or behind the list of the men previously signed up. Before local selective boards can undertake the integration process, a new national draft lottery must be held in Washington. Officials indi cated that it would be ordered for late this month. “Sequence Numbers” In the lottery, the new registrants in each draft board area wril learn their relationship to each other by having “sequence numbers” drawn. The total of numbers drawn in the national lottery will be slightly in ex cess of the highest numiber of new registrants in any area. This number has not yet been determined since local reports are not all in, head quarter officials said. Once the national numbers are drawn, local boards will compare them with local numbers to determine local sequences. Thus one of the new registrants will be assigned the number “S 1.” Another will have the number “S 2”, and 1 so forth. ! FOR RENT—Mountain cottage with lights and water at Bat Cave, N.

Of course, fashionists take into consideration, too, that cottons are crisply cool; that they assure bod ily comfort for the wearer as well as eye appeal for the observer. No Problem At All Yes, cottons are meant to be washed! And, according to the Ameri can Institute of Laundering, which does scientific research for profes sional launderies all over the country, keeping cottons crisply fresh and sweet smelling so they assure per sonal charm and freshness isn’t any problem at all. If your laundering is done at home, Mrs. Harriette Leavell O’Donnell and son, Robert, will leave Tuesday, July 15, to spend a while with Mr. andi Mrs. Robert Mayer of George town at Pawley’s Island. Mrs. Fred Gardner is expected to return to her home in the county this week after undergoing treatment in the Columbia Hospital for a week. Visiting her aunt, uncle and cou sin, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Gardner and Ansel Dominick, is Miss Nell Bishop of Greenville. Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Brooks left Wednesday for a three weeks trip to Mexico. Mrs. Charles Ruff left Monday morning on her vacation to see her mother, Mrs. Alva Stevenson in Winnslboro and her brother, Mr. and Mrs. J. G. Stevenson in Hartsville. Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Lominick, Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Lominick left Thurs day night for Miami Beach, Florida where they are spending ten days. Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Hendrix and son, Gene, will leave Wednesday for Nashville, Tennessee, where Mr. Hendrix will attend’ a six weeks sum mer school at Peabody. you’ll find it easier to keep your cot tons fresh by taking advantage of some of the “recipes” used at the launderies. The experts at the laundry usually separate cottons into six general groups before thpy even think of washing them. All pure whites go into-one class ification; those where white predom inates go into another. And while pink and baby blue may be just ducky on the baby’s bonnet laundry experts wouldn’t dream of washing these two colors together. Light pinks go in with lavenders, tans, oranges and yellows, while the light blues hobnob in the suds with the light greens and grays. Dark browns, dark blues, purples, dark greens and blacks go into a fourth group, and dark reds and dark oranges form a classification all their own. Controlled temperatures of water are another point on which launder ies are adamant, for tests prove that white cotton may be washed safely in much hotter water than would be safe — or prudent — for colored cottons. Temperatures for white cottons start at 100 degrees Fahrenheit and. with each succeeding fresh supply of water and supplies, are increased to 160 degrees F. When some color is present but with white predominat ing, temperatures begin at 110 de grees F. and are increased sufficient ly to clean the white areas and pres erve colors.
