OF Jobs Due To Freeze

The Richmond County Negro
All boys and girls who usually
spend this time of year picking
peaches were robbed of their jobs
by the destructive freeze last

According to Negro County

found a profitable way to keep oc-

county's bumper melon crop.

sounded like ''pinochle," and
that's been its name ever since.

6-Year EnIistments
Open To Those Not
Yet Called By Draft

WASHINGTON - The Army
today Eut into effect one phase
of the new reserve training pro-
gram and announced it will be
ready soon with others, including
the enlistment of men l7-l8 1i2
years old for six months training.
The overall program, which
Congress cut down from PreSi-
dent EiSenhower'S requests, en-
visions creation of a strong and
active ready reserve to supplement
reduced regular forces. Reserves
are to be built up over a period
OF years to 100000 men from
the present 100000.
The Army said it will accept
immediate SiX-year enlistments
directly into the reserve by men
who have not yet been ordered to
report for induction under the
draft.
HAS SLIGHT CHOICE
Each man accepted must serve
two years active duty, take part
in the ready reserve for three
years and serve one year in the
standby reserve - the same time
as if he were drafted - but will
have a choice of when he will
serve his two years of active duty.
The Army said that it will be
ready to start accepting enlist
ments for the short-term reserve
training program in the ''immedi-
ate future which officials have
said will probably mean Oct l.
President Eisenhower last week
authorized an Army quota of 90
900 such enlistments and the Ma
rine Corps $500 during the 10
months ending next June 80.
The six months of active train
ing must be followed up by 1i2
years more in the active reserve
Volunteers will be deferred from
the draft throughout the full eight
years if they take an active and
satisfactory part in the reserve
training. Otherwise they are sub
ject to two-year draft.
These Short-term traineeS will
be paid $50 month for the six
months. High school students who
volunteer may be deferred from
the initial active duty training
until they complete their high
school courses or reach the age of
20. whichever is earlier.
EnliStments will be handled by
the nearest organized reserve unit
rather than regular recruiting
centers. although recruiters will
give information about the pro-
gram.
The Army said it is also ready
tC carry out another provision of
the new law which applies to men
now on active duty who complete
their tours before July l, 1857. If
they join ready reserve unit
when they get out and serve in
it satisfactorily for one year, they
will be transferred then to the
standby reserve, where regular
training is not required.

2.5 Million
Bale Hike In
Cotton Crop

The Agriculture Department to-
day forecast a surprisingly large
cotton crop of 12,728,000 bales of
500 pounds gross weight this year
despite a rigid production control
program designed to help reduce
surplus stocks from past big crops.
A new crop of this size would
above the governments produc-
ton goal and only 100000 bales,
or 7 per cent below last years
crop, which was grown on Is
per cent larger acreage 1t also
is close to the 10 year 194453 av-
erage of 1882 900 bales.
EXPORTS PRESSED
The forecast put new pressure
on the administration to come up
with an export program which
would move more cotton into for
eign markets.
The indicated crop is slightly
larger than the combined domes-
tic consumption and exports of
dOOOO 1G-1 lllllllOAl OplSo 1AOAll
last years crop.
On hand at the start of the
harvest of this years crop was
a record reserve and surplus sup
ply of slightly more than II mil
lion bales from past crops.
Because of generally favorable
weather, the government said. the
condition of the cotton crop on
Aug. l was "a per cent of normal
compared with IS per cent a year
ago and II per cent for the 10
year Aug. average.
The department cautioned. how
ever, that boil Weevil and boil rot
damage pose a more serious threat
than for several years.
ACREAGE CURBS SEEN
Should the crop turn out close
to today'S estimate it would mean
that farmers would have to under
go another year of severe acreage
restrictions.
In North Carolina, Alabama, and
Oklahoma, this years indicated
production is larger than last
years despite reductions in acre
ages.
