List Farm Land In
County For Sale
Any farm land for sale in Martin
County can be listed for sale with
the Farm Security Administration
for. consideration under the FSA
tenant purchase program. D. G.
Modlin, county supervisor, an
nounced today.
This means any real estate or farm
land owner in Martin County can
register farms for sale at the FSA
office in the county courthouse.
Funds for the sale of farm lands to
tenants seeking to become owners
under the FSA program hive been
appropriated by Congress under the
Bankhead-Jones Act, and purchase
of these farms is under supervision
of - the Farm Security Administra
tion. __
Mr. Modlin said each county FSA
office wanted as large a selection of
farms as possible in aiding tenants
to purchase farms, and asked that
local farm real estate men file their
lists of suitable farms for sale with
the FSA office. The prospective pur
chasers, who expect to borrow from
FSA, will be referred to the owners
and agents of suitable farm lands.
Farm Security Administration is
receiving applications from farm
tenants who want to purchase farms
next year
D. G. Modlin, County Supervisor
for Martin County, announced to
day that applications may be filed
now in the FSA office in the court
house.
Congress has authorized a fund
not to exceed $50,000,000 from which
tenants inay borrow for the pur"
chase of farms although the money
has not been actually appropriated
and made available. Tin* loan funds
were set up under the Bankhead
Jones Farm Tenant Act

years no farm allotment (except in !
se of violation of the quota law) |
may be reduced during the three
years below the 1940 allotment for
the farm by more than 10 per cent:
and that no farm allotment which is
two acres or less in 1940 may be re
duced at all during the three-year
period It is hoped that a sufficient
part of the export market can be
maintained so that ho downward
adjustment will need to be made
from the 1940 allotment during the
three-year period. Every effort will
be made to keep our export market
and it may be possible to increase
the allotments during the latter part
of the three-year period.
"One of the recent amendments
makes adequate provision for full
collection of penalties cm any tobn
der this amendment, which goes in
to effect for the 1940 crops, any
farmer who markets tobacco from
an acreage, m excess -of 4tn* irikrt
mcTit will have the penalty of ten
cents per pound on the excess mar
ketings collected beginning with the
first sale of tobacco from the farm.
Since the quotas are on acreage basis
and farmers can sell without penalty
all of the tobacco produced on their
allotted acreage there will be no
transfers of quotas or sales of mar
keting cards. ~
I hope that each tobacco grower
will consider carefully the issues in
volved and vote his conviction in
the July referendum."

ond hearing will be granted in con
ned ion wiin a request by Mrs. I. P.
Hodges for an appropriation of $2.
827 for the maintenance of a coun
ty sewing room project during the
next fiscal year The commissioners,
recognizing the value of the project
on the one hand and determined to
hold the tax rate to its present fig
ure-on the other hand, is finding the
problem a puzzling one. "But we do
not propose to boost the rate even
if it means the loss of the project," |
one commissioner was quoted as say
ing If the project is accepted, it will
possibly be financed at the expense
of other departments. The prelimi
nary adoption of the budget was de
layed yesterday until next Monday
that the WPA representative might
have an opportunity to propose a
new plan for the cooperative financ
ing of the project.
It was unofficially learned that the
commissioners are not planning to
hear other appeals, that the requests
already before them constitute one
lug problem. If no other items will be
crowded into the 1940-41 budget, it
is likely that the movement by Ev
eretts citizens to have their high'
school re-established will be delay
ed. It is possible, however, that an
expressed attitude by the board
members will give them something
to work on and possibly determine
their action for the immediate fu
ture. at least.
The meeting' attended by Commis
sioners Pope, Fleming. Roberson,
Perry and Haislip, was held without
interruption. No figures for the sev
eral departments were released, the
clerk stating that they are subject to
some change before the budget is
tentatively adopted at the regular
meeting of the authorities here next
Monday.
Little other business is scheduled
for consideration at the meeting
next week, but the budget will keep
the commissioners busy a greater
part of the day and likely give them
the budgets before it is adopted.

Federal Agency Is
Prepared To Make
Proper Inquiries

ing to neutarlity, espionage, sabot-1
age and kindred offenses
Noting that in connection with the
existing international situation.
United States attorneys arwf marshals
would doubtless receive consider
able information from individuals,
and groups concerning espionage, j
sabotage, subversive and similar ac
tivities, he pointed out that_? defi-.
nite procedure had been establish
ed under which the citizens and the
various law enforcement agencies
each play an appropriate part. In
this respect the instructions stated:
"The duty and function of the citi
zen is to report to local representa
tives of the Federal Bureau of Inves
tigation all information relating to
violations of this character and not
to engage in investigative activity
relative thereto. United States attor-1
neys and marshals are likewise re
quested to refer reports, information
and any persons having or claim
ing, to have information of violations
resentative or field office of the said
bureau."
The attorney general requested
that this procedure be adhered to
strictly so as to avoid confusion and
irresponsibility and to bring about
an orderly and correlated handling
of information received.
While the cooperation of every cit
izen in turning over useful informa
tion to the Federal Bureau of Inves
tigation was welcomed, Federal law
enforcement agencies were instruct
ed toy discourage as far as possible
individuals or groups from engag
ing in counter-espionage or activi
ties of an investigative nature, as
follows:
"Certain of these individuals and
groups may offer their active co
operation and propose the forma
tion of volunteer associations and
citizens counter-espionage units.
Counter-espionage activity by indi
viduals or groups, without official
status or responsibility, and the un
authorized assumption of an inves
tigative functions by such groups
should be discouraged. The coopera
tion of your office is requested to
see to it that in no instance, should
any representative of your office
directly or indirectly place the de
partment in the position of approv
ing, encouraging or sponsoring ac
tivity of an investigative nature upon
the part of any individuals or or^
ganizat lofts."
?The^ protection of the civil liber
ties of loyal and innocent citizens
and aliens, as well as the mainten
ance of a sound public attitude, was
emphasized, the instructions stat
ing
"While it is important that those
engaged in illegal acts hostile to
the best interests and welfare of the
American people be promptly detect
ed and the country protected against
their activities, it is equally impor
tant that the civil liberties of loyal
and innocent individuals be not in
vaded. Care should be taken to as-1
sure aliens of complete and friend
ly protection under the law. The
law enforcement officers of the fed
eral. government have important re
sponsibilities in helping to maintain
a reasonable and healthy attitude
on the part of citizens of this coun
try and in the turning of their en
ergies and patriotism into useful and
efficient channels."
The procedure contained in the
instructions in brief contemplates
that the citizen's function is to turn
over all information relating to the
existence of improper activities in
this field to the Federal Bureau of
Investigation. The Federal Bureau
of Investigation will collect and act
as a Clearing hfMF*" nf infnrmntinn
respecting violations, make the nec
essary investigations and whenever
it appears that a violation of a Fed
eral law may have been committed,
Iwill bring the circumstances to the
attention of the United States attor
ney in the district for the purpose
of taking action. The United States
attorney, while having the primary
responsibility in the determination
of cases for arrest and prosecution,
will, except in cases of emergency,
secure the prior approval of the De
partment of Justice in Washington
