FARMERS URGED
TO COMPLETE
ACP PRACTICES
Farmers who have enrolled in
the fall portion of the Agricul
tural Conservation cost-sharing
program are urged to follow
through by completing and report
ing performance on the farm
practices for which approvals
were issued, said Ralph Ramsey,
county ASCS office manager. In
commenting on the county Agri
cultural Conservation Program,
Ramsey explained that farmers
who enroll in the program have
two basic responsibilities. One is
to carry the farm practices out
in accordance with the approved
specification and the other is to
file a performance report after
the practice is completed, but
within the report date shown on
the approval. He said that ap
proximately 1200 farms within
the county had made application
and secured ACP cost-sharing ap
provals on the winter cover crop
and liming practices during the
past six weeks and that those who
have not as yet completed these
practices should do so before win
ter weather arrives. In conclu
sion, Ramsey explained that farm
ers can report performance on
their completed practices by en
tering the extent in acres perfonm
ed in "Col. F." of their report
form, signing it and mailing it to
the ASCS office in Marshall.

MADISON VOTE
MOVES LEGAL,
JUDGE RULES
The Madison County Commis
sioners and Board of Elections
emerged from ttfloVr an injunction
cloud Thursday of last week when
Superior Court Judge P. C. Krone
berger dissolved two restraining
orders against recent acts of the
bodies.
In u lengthy finding of fact,
Judge Froneberger ruled that the
Hoard of Elections was acting
within the provisions of (ieneral
Statutes 168-22 when it chopped
the number of Madison County
voting places from 23 to eight,
following an action of the com
misaioners which did the same
thing to the county's townships.
Injunctions were issued by
Judge W. K. McLean in mid-September
at the request of a group
which sought to class the actions
Bs illegal and selfishly inspired.
Judge Froneberger said Thurs
day that (he actions were not ar
bitrary or capricious, and were
not motivated by selfish, personal,
or political motived.
The plaintiffs, he said, did not
make a case or show any right to
relief.
Moreover, he ruled, that injunc
tions would have been harmful to
both the defendants and the voters
of the county, particularly in re
gard to the upcoming Nov. 2 elec
tion involving road bonds and
court system change. The legal
notices governing such an election
have already bean made on the
basis of eight precinct, and there
isn't time to do them over again.
Sources outside court observed
that any cloud on the legality of
the voting in Madison could af
feet the sale of the state's bonds
even if the measure passed on a
statewide basis.

Lions - Eagles
Carson-Newman dampened
Mars Hill's homecoming and new
Stadium dedication at Mans Hill
Saturday, turning back a fumble
plagued Lion eleven 21-0 before
4,000 mostly-partisan fans.
The Eagles from Jefferson City,
Tenn., struck once in the second
quarter and twice more in the fi
nal stanza as they took advantage
of a stiff afternoon north wind at
their backs.
Carson-Newman also had two
other touchdowns called back by
penalties.
Six fumbles, four of them in
the first haLf, plus three costly
pass interceptions kept the Lions
from mounting any serious of
fensive threat.
For that matter, both teams
Showed good pass defenses. The
Eagles completed only four of 19
aerials while Mars Hill clicked for
six in 23 tries, while intercepting
one Carson-Newman pass.
The loss gave Mars Hill a 1-2-1
record, while Carson-Newman has
won three and dropped only one,
a 13-6 defeat by Wetstern Caroli
na. Western Carolina is next on
the Mars Hill schedule, for what
it's worth.
