Burley Acreage
Be Measured
Within t short time reporter!
working under the direction of the
local ABC County Committee will
be visiting (arms throughout the
County checking acreage planted
to Burley tobacco.
After the measurements are
made, farmers are officially noti
fied by the A8C county office of the
measured acreage of Burley tobac
co.
Ronald R Orr, chairman of the
Graham County ASC Committee,
says that when these notices are
mailed out there are always some
farmers who are not satisfied In
their own minds that the measured
acreage is actually correct.
To satisfy his own mind, any
farmer who thinks his acreage has
been Incorrectly determined may,
within 10 days after the date of the
notice of measured acreage, re
quest remeasurement.
Any farmer making a request
for remeasurement must deposit
with the ASC county office the esti
mated cost of remeasuring his
acreage.
Orr calls special attention to this
10 day deadline. He cautions that
the request must be made within
this period for the remeasurement
to be made.
Orr further explains that farm
ers who exceed their allotted acre
age when planting an allotment
crop may notify the ASC county
office that they wish to dispose of
excess acreage In 'order to be in
compliance, avoid penalty, and be
eligible for price support.
Orr says that in \his case, too,
the report of their intention to dis
pose of the excess must be made !
within 10 days of the date of the j
notice of planted acreage. At the
time the fanner makes his report
of intended disposition, he must de

I . GARDEN TIME
BY BOBEBT SCHMIDT
I
! Weeds are probably the No. 1
problem In Vegetable gardens dur-l
lng the fcummer season.
They choke out small crop plants
and compete with crops for plant
food and moisture in the soil. The
old control method of cultivator,
sweep, and hoe Is still a good one
but it, means a lot of bard work,
and the modern gardener is look
ing for an easier way out. Every
one is looking for a chemical that
can be sprayed on the garden and
which will kill all the weeds and
grass without harming the vege
tables. That Is a big order. The dif
ficultly lies in the fact that we
grow so many different kinds of
vegetables and they belong to so
many different botanical Bpecies
and families, some of which are
closely related to our common
weeds, that the chemicals used to
contral the weeds will also kill the
Vegetable crops.
In recent years a material know
as 2, 4-D bas been used extensive,
to kill weeds in corn, glaliolus, a v'
in lawns. Used at the pt\ p
strength, 2, 4-D has not caused i.'

used to spray other plants.
Most vegetables and other fr
den crops are susceptible to sevc?
damage by the usual herbicides,
the chemical companies have be
busy experimenting with new ma
terials. The lates developments ar
the pre-emergence sprays. Tlies
pre-emergence weed killers do n
act like other herbicides, in tV
they have no effect on well-esta'
lished weeds or crop plants. How
ever, they are very effective
against weeds or plants that arte
just germinating or are just emer
ging& from the soil. Pre-emer
gence sprays are best applied to
freshly cultivated soil. One appli
cation will usually keep the soil
free from weeds for from three to 1
five weeks. Then the cultivation

IN MEMORIAM
In memory of our dur mother,
Mrs. Hattlt Voylea MlnU*.
It was just one year ago
When dear mother went away.
Oh! how we miss dear mother
since she went away.
If only we could bring dear mother
back to stay
We would be so happy
For there are many sweet things
we would like to say.
Sweet and kind were dear mother's
ways.
There are many words
But mother is the sweetest word I
could ever say,
And I know mother will be waiting
for me when I go away
So our thoughts are of mother dear
today.
Mother is not dead, she is just
away.
