Clemson, Sept. 1.—“Since farm real estate is the largest part of all real estate in South Carolina, complete and correct assessment of all real es. tate is a matter of prime importance to the tax system of the state,” Dr. G. H. Aull, agricultural economist of the South Carolina Experiment Sta tion declared here today discussing sale price and assessed values of farm real estate.. “The evils resulting from present methods and practices are many and varied,” said Dr. Aull. “Hence, the reason for our recent farm real estate studies attempting to find an answer to the question. Are farm properties in South Carolina equitably assessed for tax purposes, and, if not, what factors appear to influence the re suit ? ” The results of this study have been published in Experiment Station Bul letin 334, entitled “The Sale J’rice and Assessed Value of Farm Real Estate in South Carolina”. The publication, after discussing the property tax system and the varied aspects of the farm real estate taxing practices, draws conclusions and makes recom mendations for consideration of all concerned. The basic recommendation calls for the necessary legal steps to empower the State Tax Commission to establish and maintain a fair and equitable ass. essment of real estate based on actual property values. Bulletin 334 may be had upon re quest from county farm agents of the Extension Service or from the Experi ment Station at Clemson. GENERAL ELECTION SET Proclamation Issued Making Date September 30 TUFTED BEDSPREADS: A SUCCESS STORY OF THE DEEP SOUTH Columbia, Aug. 28.—Governor Bur. net R. Maybank issued a proclama tion today fqjmally fixing September 30 as the date for the special gener al election to name a United States senator from South Carolina to suc ceed James F. Byrnes, appointed to the supreme court bench. Maybank had' announced several weeks ago that the general election would be held on September 30 and today's proclamation was a mere formality. Dalton, Ga.—The sale of a single tufted cotton bedspread by a twelve- year-old farm girl for $2.50 back in 1900 is an event which will long be remembered in this section of Geor- gia. It ought to be. Just the other day a buyer for one large New York de partment store stepped on a north bound train after signing contracts for the purchase of five carloads of these same tufted spreads. There’s just one big difference in the tufted cotton bedspreads today and the one Catherine Evans sold forty years ago. Catherine made hers by hand. Now machines make them. And one machine does the work of 600 hands. “Bedspread Boulevard,” a fifty mile stretch down the Dixie Highway in Georgia, today consumes 30,000 bales of cotton a year. And that’s a far cry from the scant pound or so Cath erine Evans used in duplicating the spread which had been handed down in her family as a treasured heirloom. Once Catherine had made the first fine tufted spread, it wasn’t long be fore the neighbors took it up. And then there was an order from John Wannamakers for half a dozen spreads. That order from Wanamakers started a landslide and before long even the business men were deserting their jobs to make cotton bedspreads. When one woman sold $60,000 worth of spreads to a single store, it was time to do something about thw pro duction problem. Machinery was invented, and today from endless small Georgia factories there flows a constant stream of tufted spreads in a score of designs and colors. King Cotton’s hit the trail to “Bedspread Boulevard.” NEW POWER FUND WILL AID FARMERS SONG WRITER, NOW AT FORT, MARRIES COLUMBIA GIRL Thomas M.

DRAFT CALL BOOSTED FOR MONTH OF OCTOBER Santee-Cooper power will be taken to rural electric cooperatives of South Carolina by means of the $750,000 approved “super power line” recently approved in Washington. Santee-Cooper expects to supply the co-ops at first on a basis of 7,000 to 8fl)00 kilowatts more if it is wanted. Robert M. Cooper, general manager of the Santee-Cooper authority, said. This is expected to increase as rural electrification develops. Mr. Cooper has said the project will give the co-ops the power they can consume. Most of the power probably will go directly for defense. There has been a demand to send power to other states, but officials are working to have the plants brought to the power rather than the power transmitted to the industries. The power line approved was an nounced by Governor Burnet R. May- bank. On September 23 the authority will open bids on a line connecting the Pinopolis switchyard with Bowman. ARMY MENUS FOR PUBLIC Atlanta, Aug. 30.—William M. Hines, city editor of the Atlanta Constitution on leave doing army publicity, thought up an idea that worked so well that he had to add four stenographers to his staff. Brigadier General James L. Frink, quartermaster for the Fourth corps area, told Hines four days ago that he wanted to get across to parents the story of what and how well their sons are being fed in the army. Hines sat down and wrote to the editors of all the newspapers in cities from which national guard units came into Southern camps. He sug gested that they print advance copies of menus being served in the camps so the folks back home can, if they wish, eat the same meals on the same days that their sons are getting. More than 100 papers have ordered the menus a nd accompanying stories and pictures, and the telegram* are still pouring in. Hines and the genera] are now quite happy. ROUGH-GINNED COTTON COSTS FARMERS MONEY Columbia, Aug. 30.—State selective service headquarters announced to day the October call for South Caro lina selectees was more than double the number summoned for the army in September. A total of 1,677 men must be produced, compared with 783 in September. The October quota called for 985 whites and 692 negroes. HAS TONSILECTOMY W. H. Tedford of Edgefield is do ing nicely a t the home of Mrs. Sallie Belle Miller after undergoing a ton sil operation in the Newberry County hospitay Saturday, Each year South Carolina farmers lose hundreds of thousands of dollars on account of rough-ginned cotton, says County Agent P. B. Ezell in ex plaining that for the seven-year per iod 1933-39 the state had approxi mately 15 per cent of its total cotton crop classified as rough-ginned. These statistics were obtained from the Bureau of Agricultural Economics, United States Department of Agri culture. With the forecast of a light cotton crop for South Carolina this year, and ■with cotton prices relatively good, it is important that farmers take every possible precautions to have their cotton in first-class condition before it is ginned. This means that the cot ton should not be picked until it is- thoroughly opened and dry and kept dry until the time of ginning. Cotton ginners also have a big responsibility in producing smooth samples of cotton which will command premium prices. Ginning machinery should be in good repair and operated properly, which means feeding the cotton to the gin in such a manner as to give a loose seed roll. ponsibility in reducing the percen tage of rough-ginned cotton by buy ing cotton on a quality basis, giving premiums for a good preparation, and penalizing cotton of a poor prepara tion.
