MORGAN NAMED
REPRESENTATIVF,
ASHEVILLE CCA
Gaylord Davis and Mrs. E. D.
Mitchell, Jr., president and secre
tary respectively of the Asheville
Community Concert Association,
Inc., have appointed Joe L. Morgan
as the Marshall area representa
tive of the Association. He has
been invited to attend the 1965-
1966 concert season kick-off din
ner at 6:30 p. m., March 8, in the
West Ballroom of the George Van
derbilt Hotel.
It was pointed out that the
Asheville OCA had so few mem
berships in the Marshall area
compared to other surrounding
communities that possibly not hat
ing a representative was why
there were so few from thia . aas
tion who enjoyed the wonderful
musical programs presented by the
outstanding artists each season.
The Concert Association will
open its general public member
ship drive March 8. Because the
concert series last season was
sellout, and because of the at
tractiveness of the 1962-66 series,
the Association is asking former
members as well as the general

Interesting Film
la Shown
The annual meeting of the Mad
ison County Breeders Association
was held in the Courthouse Mon
day night, February 22. In 1964,
the Association technician, Tommy
Payne, had 912 first services, 279
second services and 92 third serv
ices for a record of 70 non-return.
This, according to John
Brown, District Representative of
the American Breeders Service, is
an outstanding record. In appre
ciation for this outstanding serv
ice the Association presented Mr.
Payne with a bonus. A bonus was
also presented to Mrs. Jack Payne
for her services in receiving mes
sage and passing them on to the
technician. Recognition was also
given to E. C. Teague for his out
standing service, both as a direct
or at large and for his help in re
ceiving and passing on messages.
One of the highlights of the
meeting was a film presented by
John Brown of the facilities which
the American Breeders Service has
at Madison, Wisconsin for hous
ing the bulls and preparing the
semen. He also showed several
pictures of bulla available in this
area and their daughters.

INTEREST IN
TOMATOES IS
INCREASING
Interest in production and mar
keting of trellised tomatoes is in
creasing in Madison County.
A total of 48 farmers attended
a meeting held in Hot Springs on
Monday and 45 attended the
meeting on Spring Creek on Wed
nesday. Subjects discussed and il
lustrated by use of color slides
were plant production, control of
insects and diseases, spacing, trel
lising and other. Marketing pro
cedures and methods were also
discussed.
The 1964 production season was
extremely unfavorable for trel
lised tomatoes. Most producers of
tomatoes in Madison County are
planning to do a better job in 1965
and hope for a better season.
Farmers interested in tomato
production may attend one of the
remaining six meetings to be held
in the county. The meetings will
be announced by the press, by let
ter and radio.

LICENSE BUREAU
IS DISCUSSED
BY MERCHANTS
11 Voted 'No?' 7 Voted 'Yes'
To Help Pay Present
Deficit
At a special call meeting of the
Merchants Association here Tues
day night, the question of the past
and future of the license bureau
here was put squarely before the
18 men present.
William "Bill" Roberts, preni
dent of the County Farm Bureau,
sponsors of the license bureau
this year, and Zeno H. Ponder,
chairman of the board of direct
ors of the County Farm Bureau,
explained to the group the me
chanics of the license bureau in
its first year of operation here.
It was stated that 4,333 licenses
were sold with the issuing firm
getting 13c per license which
amounted to $563.29. Mr. Roberts
explained that this did not include
notary fees, transfers, etc.
Roberts also told the group of
the expenses incurred to operate
the license bureau including cler
ical help, a course which the clerk
had to take in Raleigh, the rent,
lights and other expenses. In
summing up the "intake" and
"outiro." the bureau actually has
gone in the "red" $462.00 to date
It was thought by Mr. Roberts and
Mr. Ponder that the remainder of
the contract time, or until next
Fall, that income and expenses
might break about even with per
haps a small loss.
"Projected outlook for future
years' operations is, of course, un
certain, but it is reasonable to ex
pact that the license bureau would
at least break about even," Mr.
Ponder said.
Mr. Ponder told the group that
after many yean of nnnkreg a li
cense bureau for Madison County.
the Farm Bureau was awarded a
contract He further stated that
by sponsoring a license bureau
here It wasn't expected to be a
"money-making proposition'' but
rather a "service to our people.''

Payments, Loans, Available
Only To Ones Under
Program
Advance payments are available
again thia year, to growers sign
ing up to participate in the feed
grain progTsin, Qnory Robinson,
chairman of the Madison County
Agricultural Stabilisation and
Conservation Service committee,
announced recently. Similar pay
ments were available under the
1964 program.
According to Robinson, the ad
vance payment will represent one
half of tiie estimated total diver
sion payment to be earned under
the 1965 program. The rest of the
diversion payment and all of the
price-support payment earned
the program will be made next
fall.
The 1966 feed grain program
again covers corn, barley, and
grain sorghum. Participants in the
program may qualify for a pay
ment for diversion of eligible crop
land to approved conserving uses,
and also for a price-support pay
ment on the normal production o
the 1966 feed grain acreage. They
will also be eligible for price-sup
port loans on their entire produc
tion from the feed grain acreage
Each farm has a total feed grair
base, representing the combined'
acreage of the three feed grains
grown on the farm. A producer
may divert one or more of the feed
grains, and his diversion payment
will be based on the per-acre rate
which applies to the gram divert
ed. Minimum diversion under the
program is 20 percent of the total
feed grain base; maximum diver
ion is 60 percent of the base or

After three hectiic nights of
basketball last week-end, the 1966
Madison County High School tour
nament will end Saturday night
when the Mars Hill girls' and
boys' teams will meet the Mar
shall girls' and boys' teams for
the county championship.
The Marshall girls' team, coach
ed by J. C. Cole, has run true to
form thus far to reach the finals.
After drawing a bye in the op
ening round, the Marshall sextet
was red hot last Saturday night,
easily defeating Spring Creek,
66-29.
From the opening tipoff it was
evident that the Tornadoettes were
"ready." Hilda Tipton with 16
points and Linda Adams with 28
points looped 'em in from ev
erywhere to run up a 36-10 half
time margin. Coach Cole let his
subs plays most of tile second and
fourth quarters with the final
ncore being 66-29.
The Mars Hill girls found Lau
rel's defense most aggravating
throughout the game last Friday
night but managed to defeat the
Laurelettee. 36-26. to earn the fi
nals berth. The Laurel girls con
trolled the backboards but were
unable to take advantage as their
shooting was ."off." In the mean
time, Coach J. C. Wallin's Mars
Hill teem kept peeking sway with
Judy Edmonds sparking the at- "":
tack with long shots. She ended
up with a total of 16 points. Be
hind Edmonds came Susie Farkas
with 10 points and Mary Lynn
Peek with 9 points.
Both, Marshall and Mars Hill,
have well-balanced teams with
plenty of offensive and defensive
strength. The Marshall team is
slightly favored over the Mars
Hill in the finals on season's rec
ords, but the two rivals split their
regular season games with a nar
row margin of two points separat
ing the two teams. From all in
dications, the girls' finals Satur
day night should be a cliff-hanger
all the way. The. game starts at
eight o'clock.
In the boys' finals, the Wild
cats are heavily favored to retain
the county title. After drawing a
bye in the opening round, the
Wildcats, coached by Roy Yates
Amnions, defeated Laurel last Sat
urday, 72-61. By holding the
Wildcats to an 11-point victory,
however, the boys from Laurel
played a fine game, led by the
terrific play of big Russell Frank
lin who scored 28 petottjL
Steve Moore was hign for the
winner with 16. Others hitting in
double figures were Charles Tol
ley, 16; Garland Hunter, 18; and
Ron Wallin, 12.
