(By a Staff Correspondent) -
Rock Hill, Aug. 20.-York county
farmers will not have the benefit Of
the services of a United States cotton
grader during the coming year ac-
corGing to announcement made here
today by DR.. J. b. Johnson, president
of the York County Cotton Associa :
ton. "It is evident" said President
Johnson today in discussing the mat
ter, that the farmers are not very
much interested in the matter-cer-
tainly not to the point of putting up
the necessary money to insure the
services of a grader. Several weeks
ago we divided the county into school
districts and appointed canvassers to
see the farmers in each school district
with view to trying to get them to
guarantee their pro rata part OF the
graders salary. Only one district in
York county-Bethesda No. 2S, guar
anteed it's pro rata part. We did no.
get I'D quite enough money to pay the
cotton graders expenses last year with
the result that | had to dig down IN
my pocket to the amount OF $lSl 10
make up the deficit and | do not care
TO do this again this year. 1t is my
opinion that never was the need for
public grader greater than this COM
ing year; but if the farmers are not
interested enough to put up the nee
essary money why of course that
settles it,"
Wanted-a Carnival!
Miss +. Marie Fcwell, secretary oil
the York County Fair Association IS
looking for n good carnival as the
principal mid. way attraction for the
York Count Fair to be ahcld in No
vember. The carnival that Miss
Fewcll thought she was going to Sc
cure has Evidently flown the coop.
Some time ago Miss Fcwell made an
Arrangement with well known car
niyal company whereby the show
agreed to nay $500 for the privilege
of exhibiting at the fair n week. the
show management promised TO put up
=. certified check for $500 by August l..
it's appearance. When
August ! rolled around the certified
check didn't and there has been no re-
sponsc from the carnival people IN
rcplv TO Miss Fcwclrs letter of in
auiry. SO the secretary has decided
TO look around for another show. IL
is understood that the Chester County
Fair Association was depending upon
the same carnival that York county
was depending upon so Chester is also
looking for dependable show folks.

"Oh, yes. we've got plenty OF boil
wecvils," said G. ID. Reid, prominent
Catawba Township farmer when the

"Thcy arc doing some damage Mr..
Reitl went on to say, "and | am eX-
pecting that the effect on the crop IS
going to lie very marked between
now and October Is. We also have
the boil worm along with the boil
wcevil and the worm is doing as much
if not more damage than the weerll
