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. H. Gooding,
extension poultryman invites all per
sons interested in poultry production
and poultry marketing problems to
attend the three-day course of inten
sive instruction. i
This course is arranged to give
the busy farmer the greatest amount
of information in the least possible
time”, Mr. Gooding says. "There are
no requirements for attending nor
fees attached. The only expense will
be getting to and from the college,
and for meals, which may be secur
ed on the campus for about a dollar
a day. There will be no charge for
lodging in the college barracks, but
visitors who stay in the barracks
must furnish pillow, bed linen, and
toilet articles.”

Cotton is meant to be washed!
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

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.

well as removing soil. And—cottons
are meant to be washed!
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.

Mrs. Harriette Leavell O’Donnell

town at Pawley’s Island.
Mrs. Fred Gardner is expected to

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.
