CWA Payroll This Week
$6,325.93 For 533 Men
Largest Disbursement in
This County Since Gov.
ernment Launched
on Vast Program
LEAK NOT REACHED
YET, OFFICIALS SAY
Allotment of 541 Has Been
Reached, But Not All Have
Been at Work at Any One
Time Yet for Entire Week;
Seme Projects Are Still
Waiting
A lot ill of 533 men shared in the
distribution here today ol‘ $0,323.93 as
Ihe week's payroll for work done uit
dk'i the Civil Works Administration
piof’.ram, the largest amount yet paid
cm I foi any one week since the pro
jects weie started late in November.
The announcement was made by I’.
A Smith, disbursing officer in the lo
cal WA office, which is under the di
rection of Mrs. W. 15. Waddill.
It is believed that tlie peak has not
yet been reached in the weekly pay
ments lor OVV\A work projects, the
county's allotment was 541, and at
no time has that figure been reported
ltn a single week, this week's total oi
,33 being the nearest approach to it
The allotment of men have had work
but not all of them have been on
jobs in any one week to be enrolled
I'm pay at the same time.
In addition to the 533 who shared in
the huge disttibulion today, there
were some 3u to 10 truck drivers en
gaged in tiie projects who are not in
cluded, although they arc likewise
leceiving pay. There are some who
are doing small jobs of window wash
ing and sweeping in CWA and other
offices who are being paid from re
lief funds rather than from CWA
money. In that way more people
are being furnished some work.
Some projects are still waiting to
gel under way. One of them is the
repairs and improvements to water
works mains on Garnett street,
which is soon to he re-paved by the

ON NEW FLAMS
Preparations Being Made
for 1934 Crop, Which
Will Be Smaller
Farmers in this county and section
are making preparations to so wtheir
seed beds in anticipation of their
1934 tobacco crop, and. while it is
understood digging of the beds has
started in some instances, no seeds
have actually been placed, so far as
has been learned.
The thirty percent reduction in
acreage this year is expected to be re
fleeted in the ai/e and number of the
seed beds to bo put in. although al
lowance is usually made for surplus
supplies to guaid against weather o'
insert damage, so that the size of
i lie crop cannot be determined very
accurately by the seedings.
Most of tho growers in this county
and section already have signed the
acreage reduction with the Federal
government, and will cut their crop
by thirty percent under the three
year average, 1931-1933. Practically
all contracts are in, and the fwe that
are still to be signed are expected to
l»e turned in probably next week.
State officials in cnarge of the sign
up have planned for the conclusion
of the drive by Saturday a week
hence, by which time it is expected
I hat virtually oil growers will have
given their cooperation to the gov
ernment program toward holding the
crop within such proporitions as may
assure continued good prices next fall
