FARM NOTES huiSis? • I IIMIIMihllllilllllllM, New Cotton Production Record L. S. McCall, Dillon County, has set a new cotton production record in South Carolina. 18.4 bales on 5 acres for a total of 8, 800 pounds lint is the new record established in last year’s 5 acre j cotton contest. Here in Newberry county Wal ter Cousins captured the county prize with a yield of 5,135 pounds of lint, which is over two bales per acre. Most significant about this state contest is that the 670 growers enrolled produced an average yield of 768 pounds of lint cotton per acre. Quite a feat when you con sider all the bad weather we had on last year’s crop! Doesn’t this prove we can grow cotton in South Carolina? We think so! And 1964 is the year to do it. How To Make Cotton Clemson’s cotton program was presented at a meeting here last Friday night. Briefly its this: Plant to a stand on good soil; fer tilize right; control grass and weeds; and control insects. Let’s look briefly at this step-by-step program: How Much Fertilizer? Already we’ve put the cart before the horse. The first step for high yields is either lime or soil test. If your soil test shows a ph of 6.5 you’re O.K. If it is below this level, you’d better use lime to get the full benefit from your ferti lizer. If wet weather prevents the spreading of lime before plowing time, then put 500 pounds per acre of lime in the row. Use enough fertilizer for high yields. This means 700 to 1,000 pounds per acre of mixed fertilizer such as 5-10-10 or 6-12-12. Six hundred pounds per acre is all that should be used in the row. Rates above this amount call for broadcasting the fertilizer, except for three hundred pounds per acre put in the row. Minor elements are becoming more important too. You can get these mixed in with your fertilizer. Grass Control Costs $23 Per. Acre: Control of weeds and grass by hoeing and cultivating costs an estimated $23 per acre. Chemicals can do it for less. Clemson still says there is no miracle grass con trol chemical for cotton. The new one “Treflan” looks highly prom ising, if applied in the right man ner. Others can also do the job, if used right. We have complete rec ommendations on grass and weed control for all the ieconitnended chemicals. Insect Control: While hdi)es con tinue to mount that the boll wee vil will someday be wiped out, it won’t happen this year. ‘We will have to continue the fight against cotton insects for most profitable yields this year. Be sure to get Clemson’s control program and practice it. It will both' save you money and mrke more cotton for you. '' Let’s begin now getting ready to plant and make cotton this year. Corn Weed Control We plant lots of corn in New berry county, both for grain and for silage. We still don’t control grass and weeds in this crop as we should. We told you recently about the big corn grower we visited in North Carolina who planted his crop, sprayed it, side- dressed it with nitrogen and for got it ‘till harvest time. He was real “high” on the merits of the material he was using known as “Atrazine.” Our Clemson weed control man, Jon Hooks, told us at last week’s meeting this material is consider ed just about the top weed and grass control material now avail able for practical use. Why not check on using this material on your com crop this year. Beef Cattle Sale Need a new bull or a few more cows—Hereford ones that is? Then, you’ll want to attend the S. C. Hereford Association Sale here in Newberry next Wednesday, March 11. Fifty-seven head, both polled and horned, including 14 bulls and 42 females will be sold at auction this date. Colonel A. W. Hamilton will auctioneer the sale. It starts at 1:00 P. M. at the fair grounds. Be there, if you’re a cattleman. Last 2all For Pruning Shrubs Some f olks plant little shrubs and just let them alone until they get to be big ones and out of hand. Pruning can make these shrubs live longer as well as keep their desired shape. Better do this job right now before new growth starts. Recently we’ve had a number of complaints about Burfordi holly turning yellow all over town. At first we thought it was mainly the effects of our rather severe win ter. However, our Clemson man, Louie Senn, says it may be due to lack of fertilizer. Seems these hol lies set a real heavy crop of ber ries last fall. This took up all the available plant food and now the shrubs are simply starving to death. “Get them pruned and apply fertilizer is the best remedy,” he advises. Closing the Gate: Farmer Jones comment on our cold winter: “One night I nearly froze to death hold ing the lantern for my wife to cut the kindling.” SENATOR STRO HURMOND Reports PEOPLE The Freedom Academy FOR SEVERAL YEARS the Congress has been kicking around the idea of establishing a comprehensive cold war training center to help meet the global challenge of communist political and subversive warfare. The center would be called the Free dom Academy. It would be set up as an autonomous govern ment agency administered by a 5-man Freedom Commission ap pointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate. THE FREEDOM Academy would educate free men in the multiple and complex aspects of communist ideology, tactics, and strategy and train them in the broad spectrum of arts, skills, and knowledge required for ef fective operational activity in the conflict between freedom and totalitarian communism. The Academy would be charged with research, development, and training responsibilities needed to provide both the government and the ranks of private indus try and labor with comprehen sively trained personnel. IN ADDITION, the Academy would be available to train for eign nationals on a selective basis. Some of the most effective money spent in our foreign aid programs to date has been to bring military personnel and other officials from Allied coun tries here for training in our military schools. Here they have seen freedom in action and the prosperity that only a free sys tem can produce for its people. Also, they have learned about the fallacies and the terror tac tics of communism. This has been the primary reason why we have been able to keep more Latin American countries from going the way of Cuba. THE IDEA of a Freedom Academy has been in the works for 13 years. Last year the Sen ate Foreign Relations Commit tee, after taking jurisdiction from the Judiciary Committee, held hearings on the Academy bill together with a proposal advanced by the State Depart ment. The State Department is pushing a bill of its own in an effort to head off the Academy bill and to get across its own “no - win” indoctrination pro gram. This developed after the Senate approved an Academy bill in 1960. THE HOUSE Committee on Un-American Activities has been holding hearings on the Acad emy legislation, and there are now some good indications that the House may be willing to act favorably this year. What will happen in the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, however, is quite another matter because of the vigorous opposition of the State Department and its Jhfiu- ence over this Committee. COMMUNIST LEADERS have a goal—communization and domination of the world under a socialist banner—and they are detennined to win their way. To attain this end, they liave. de veloped a well-defined and high ly systematized concept which utilizes, interrelates, and co-or dinates a multiple array of ma nipulatory skills, including sub version, infiltration, socialist ideological persuasion, diplomat ic blackmail, propaganda, and coups d’etat. With the welding of all these skills into a single, artistically co-ordinated warfare concept, the Reds have achieved an entirely new dimension of conflict. This is operated on a foundation of military strength, paralyzing the enemy with the threat of armed combat but suc ceeding in conquering without committing a single Soviet trooper to battle. THE COMMUNISTS got the idea of a political warfare train ing system more than 40 years ago and immediately put it into effect to tremendous advantage. Red leaders established an elab orate research and training sys tem to develop new forms of struggle for their conspirators, utilizing novel techniques of po litical, ideological, and psycho logical assault. Then, they pro vided the means to impart this knowledge and these techniques to their cadres of thousands of agitators, propagandists, and subversive agents. Their success in spreading their virus of so cialist dogma and their tentacles of control and terror in all corn ers of the world is self evident. J. EDGAR HOOVER has re peatedly warned that *we are at war with the Communists, and the sooner each red-blooded American realizes that, the bet ter and safer we will be.” This war has many facets other than just the military. We are al ready more chan 40 years late in making adequate preparations to meet and defeat the commu nists in the political battle to win the minds of men and thus preserve and extend freedom throughout the world.

A deduction will not be allowed for payments made on behalf of another if you have no legal obligation to make the pay ments. Interest on a debt attributable to property held for the production of rental or business income is de ducted in computing adjusted gross income. All other allowable interest is deducted only on page 2, Form 1040, and only if you item ize your deductions. Mortgage interest is probably the most common type of interest deducted on page 2, Form 1040 Monthly mortgage payment us ually contain misce 1 1 a n e o u s charges in addition to interest, but only the interest portion is deduc tible. If your records do not prop-, erly identify these component parts, you should obtain a state ment from the mortgagee showing the exact amount of interest you paid during the year. When you purchase property of any kind on the installment plan, you may deduct your interest pay ments if they are separately stated or can be definitely detennined and proved. If you purchase spqr-. sonal property, such as an auto mobile, radio, television set, etc., on the installment plan under , a contract in which the carrying charges are separately stated, but the interest charges cannot be de termined, you may treat a portion of your payments made undet such a contract as interest. You may de duct as interest the lesser of (a) an amount equal to 6 per cent of the average unpaid balance of your installment contract during the year. The average unpaid balance in (a) above is determined by to taling the unpaid balance on the first day of each month in the year and dividing this total by 12. The amount in (b) is determined by dividing the carrying charge by the total unmber of monthly pay ments to obtain a prorated monthly carrying charge. This amount is then multiplied by the number of months in the tax year during which the installment ob ligation was outstanding. Taxes may be deducted only in the year paid if you use the cash method. Like interest, taxes on rental or property property are de ducted in computing adjusted gross income. Taxes on all other property are deductible on page 2, Form 1040, if you itemize your de ductions. Real estate, personal property, and State income taxes are deduc tible, but only if they are imposed on you. If real estate is sold, the deduction for real estate taxes must be apportioned between the buyer and the seller according to the number of days in the real property tax year that each held the property. You cannot deduct Federal tax on gasoline, Federal income taxes, Federal excise taxes, or State in heritance taxes. Nor may you de duct fines, parking meter charges, title fees, or social security taxes paid on. domestic employees. South Carolina retail sales taxes are generally deductible; however, retail sales tax paid on the pur chase price of machinery or other fixed assets used in your trade or business, must be treated as part of the cost of the asset. Residents average State General Sales Tax Table for South Carolina, Docu ment , No. 5333, is free of charge and may be obtained from your local Internal Revenue office. You may use this table for figuring your sales tax dedeuction.
