ant Colonel Jesse U. Prtchett.
“Although mere words can
bring you little consolation, I do
want you to know that Colonel
Pritchett’s associates have suf
fered a distinct loss in his death.
Perhaps the knowledge that his
service was in keepng with the
highest standards of the Air
Force will be of comfort to you.
•T extend my deepest sympa
thy to you and the other mem
bers of the family in the great
sorrow you have been called
upon to bear.”
Mrs. Pritchett and her daugh
ter, Nona, 15, live in the “gate

Cotton Acreage
Release Deadline
Set on March 23
Moore County cotton farmers
must use their allotted cotton
acreage by either planting it or
releasing all or some of it, if they
do not wish to lose some of their
vital cotton acreage. According to
Earl Martin, chairman of the
Moore County Agricultural Sta
bilization and Conservation Com
mittee, farmers who fail to plant
at least 75 per cent of their allot
ment and fail to release the un
planted allotment to the Moore
County ASC committee will, m
accordance with National cotton
regulations, cause their next farm
cotton allotment to be reduced.
According to Mr. Martin, farm
ers who know now that their cot
ton allotment will not be planted
should visit their local county
ASCS office at Carthage and take
[steps to preserve their planting
I history by releasing their allot
ment for use by other farmers in
the county.
The deadline date for this re
leased acreage by the ASC coun
ty committee is March 23.
In order for other farmers in
the county to benefit from this re
leased acreage and in order for
the planting history to remain in
the county, farmers need to re
lease their allotment which they
don’t intend to plant.
