Turner JEWELER SMALL PAYMENT DOWN GOOD FARMING HINTS FOR JULY ATTENTION Better farming- suggestions for July by County Agent P. B. Ezell show no let-up for the good farmer. Agronomy When field work slacks up, haul in grain straw, leaves, swamp grass, and other litter for the compost neap. Sow peas, soybeans, or velvet beans now and they will make growth to turn under for soil building. If you do not think the acreage or prospec tive yields of com and summer for age crops is sufficient for farm needs, plant additional acreage after thorough preparation of soil. Be sure to dry wheat before storing it. Horticulture Remove all broken and diseased limbs from fruit trees immediately after harvesting. Pull sweet com shortly before meal time; it loses its sugar rapidly. Place fruits and vegetables in the shade at oncd after harvesting, to hold their quality. Make plantings of tomatoes for a fall crop. Dig early sweet potatoes for early sale when yields are 50 to 75 bushels per acre. Insects and Diseases Keep abreast of boll weevil develop ment and fight them where necessary. Spot cotton fields where wilt losses are present. Fight the housefly by all available means. Examine band ed apple trees every 10 days and des troy codling moth larve. Control Mex ican bean beetle with derris dust or spray. Destroy dodder in lespedeza. Watch out for screwworms. Requeen bees. Agricultural Engineering Have trench silo ready when sil age is ripe. Waste crankcase oil pre vents rust when used on plows, discs, and other bright parts of farm mach inery. Plan to install -water system and other farm conveniences. Get the mower in good running condition for the hay season. Investigate possibili ties of small streams for irrigating gardens and truck.

Have you been ap proached with a request to serve in setting up Aircraft Warning Posts throughout Newberry County? If so, you have been given a real oppor tunity to help defend Newberry County against any possible invasion or destruction by Airplanes. Beginning at a meeting in the Chamber of Commerce office last Tuesday, organizers of such observa tion posts throughout Newberry coun ty began work in setting up a sys tem for the protection of this part of South Carolina. Present at the meeting were county wide members of the Newberry county council for National Defense. The 16 posts to be located in this county here were assigned to members of the Council and others throughout the section, and it is expected that the entire organ! zation will be completed early next week. Any citizen called: upon to serve as observer should at once con sent and agree that he will serve the U. S. Army in this capacity when ever instructions should come through. It is to be definitely understood, how ever, that regular drills and meet ings will not be a part of this pro- gram. Any citizen who agrees to serve as an Observer should not ex- peat to be called upon at all unless America is attacked by air or unless an official maneuver of the U. S. Army Aviation is arranged. This should not happen more than once a year. It is a patriotic duty of any citizen to serve America in this organization if asked to do so. The observation post organizers for Newberry county are as follows: J. W. Earhardt, Aubrey 41 COTTON CROP ESTIMATE LOW OPM Pledges Aid To Get Industry Maybank Assured Effort Will Made to Secure Factories for State Be Washinton, July 8.—Unless yields average higher than normal, this year’s cotton crop may be the small ©st since the agriculture department paid benefits to farmers to plow up part of their crop in 1934, officials said today. This forecast was based upon a federal crop reporting board esti mate that the acreage in cultivation on July 1 totaled 23,519,000 acres, or 5.4 per cent less than a year ago and 28.6 per cent less than the 1930-39 average. The board said that if the percen tage abandoned was equal to the ten year average, the harvested acreage would be 23,102,000, or the smallest since 1895. Such an acreage, on the basis of the average yield for the 1931-40 per iod, would produce about 9,934.000 bales compared with last year’s 12,- 566,000 bales and the record crop of 18,956,000 in 1937. However, yields during the past few years have been somewhat larger than the 1931-40 average. The board’s acreage report was a factor in a sharp advance in cotton prices to the season’s highest levels today. An average-yield crop would be less than this year’s cotton require ments. Officials have estimated that about 10,850,000 bales would be -re quired to meet domestic and export demands for the year endingiTuly 31. Officials emphasized, however, there would be no cotton shortage. The de partment has estimated 1 there is a sur plus of about 12,300,000 bales on hand. This compares with a surplus of about 10,600,000 bales a year ago. BARBECUE AT BUSH RIVER Barbecue at Bush River School on Wednesday, July 23, 12 o’clock. Prices 65c and 70c.

Maybank today that it would do everything within its power to locate defense industries in South Carolina to use electrical ener gy generated there. The governor, accompanied by Dr. W. P. Jacobs, state defense com missioner, and Major Heyward Ma hon, state director of civilian defense, called on J. A. Krug, in charge of power distribution for the OPM, to discuss the power situation. Krug told the officials that while the OPM would assist the state In ob taining industries, some of the South Carolina power must be transmitted to other states for aluminum, produc tion. This would be done, however, with out too much disruption of South Car olina industry, he added-. The governor also urged the OPM official to encourage development of additional hydroelectric facilities at Lyles Ford and Clarks Hill. The conference with Krug brought to an end Maytbank’s stay here to dis cuss the South Carolina power situa tion with government officials. , During the day the governor also conferred with Leon Henderson, federal price coordinator and urged him to protect farmers’ interest in any price fixing program. Maybank and his party were «che- duled to arrive in South Carolina to morrow. After refreshments were served Re becca Nell Stewart closed the program with an arangement of March of the Dwarfs (Grieg). The following summer activities will be recognized in September: main taining and building repertoires, sight reading, hymn playing, original com positions and music scrapbook.

These young people after two weeks training period at certain centers go out for a period of six weeks, spending a week at each place visited.

Each church visited is responsible for getting them to their next ap pointment.
