with the changes in the North
Carolina law which becomes ef
fective July 1, 1980 relative to
inheritances
The County Extension Staff
sponsored this meeting as a pub
lic service and the response was
most gratifying as indicated by
the attendance. A total of IS
men and women were present
to hear Judge Edwards interpret
the law in lay language and then
were given an opportunity to ask
questions.
Two printed sheets were given
to each individual: one explained
why every one should make a
will and the various types of
wills: the second explained the
changes in the law relative to
inheritances if one fails to make
a will. These changes were il
lustrated by the use of pie charts
and enabled one to see at a
glance the proportionate share to
the survivors concerned.
This information was prepared
under the supervision of the At
torney General and in cooperation
with North Carolina Extension
Service at Raleigh.
If you would like to have this
information call at the Home
Economics Agents office, court
house. Murphy or telephone
(VE-7-2917) or request it by let
ter.
Our purpose in sponsoring this
meeting is to alert every adult
about what happens if they fail
to make a will. It would be
most interesting to know how
many are concerned enough to
act.

ASC News
By L. L. KISSELBURG
Every year, some farmers in
North Carolina are grealty in
convenienced by having planted
in excess of their allotment on
one of the basic crops. W. E. Mat
thews, Chairman of the Agricul
tural Stablization and Conservat
ion State Committee, issued a re
minder today to all Tar Heel
farmers that it is definitely their
responsibility to plant within
their acreage allotments.
Every year a few farmers over
the State, on having their acreage
measured by ASC personnel, find
that they have overplanted. Many
of these farmers, according to |
Matthews, pay additional money
out of their pockets to have a
representative of the ASC county
committee witness disposition of
the excess acreage. Other far
mers make a deposit with the
ASC office to have officials rev
isit the farm and remeasure the
acreage. In just about every case, i
this is an unnecessary drain
on the farmer's pocketbook, and]
in every case the time lost by
these revisits to the farm is an|
inconvenience to the farmer. j
"That's just one of the reasons |
the farmer should remember that j
it is his responsibility to plant
within his acreage allotment."
Matthews said. Another reason is
that every time a farmer plants
in excess of his allotment, he is
wasting seed or plants, fertilizer,
and labor.
Flue - cured tobacco farmers
in this State have another res- 1
ponsibility , according to Matthews. |
The Department of Agriculture a- j
gain this year is supporting the
price of certain "discounted" tob
acco varieties at one-half the nor
mal support rate.
The responsoibility for the iden-'
tification of the variety of tobacco |
grown on the farm rests with the !
farmer, Matthews explained.
Every fanner will be required to]
sign a certificate to the effect
that the has or has not planted
one of the discounted varieties.
"ASC wll take extensive steps
to identify any tobacco of the
discounted varieties that might be
grown in this State. However,
aoes not alter the fact that the
responsibility actually rest with
the farmer growing the tobacco."
Matthews said.

for roads!
"Traffic on North Carolina highways has more
than doubled in the last 15 years. It will con
tinue to increase at a rapid rate. Our secondary
road building and maintenance program has
fallen far behind. Prompt, aggressive action
and leadership are needed! North Carolina has
more small towns and communities than per
haps ain other state; new access roads must
be planned and built. Good hard-surfaced roads
are needed ... to get our children safely to and
from school . . . and workers to their jobs in
nearby industries ... to make markets more
accessible for our large farm population.
"We should continue the present Slate-wide
approach for primary and interstate roads, but
the secondary road program must be returned
to the people. Our Highway Commission should
he enlarged to 10-14 members who represent
e\ en area of the state, understand the local
road problem, and have authority to do some
thing about it. As taxpayers footing the bill,
our people are entitled to a stronger voice in
local road programs.
"Yes, this is an ambitious program. It has to
be. It will require much time just to catch up.
But I say, 'LET S GET STARTED NOW!*"
