3. When tobacco Is act tat the
field, much more than $299 per
acre Is expected from the crop
in fact most tobacco growers would
' not set a crop believing they would
make as little as $299 per acre.
However, they are not certain of
; priming- a leaf, or for setting a sins
le dollar from the crop at the time
of setting. Plant disease, drowned
! tobacco, dry weather, insects, wind,
Ihall, fire all or any of them
.could destroy or partly destroy, the
jcrop - could hurt the c,rop to where
:Iess thin $299 per acre was sold.
"Just m important, he could get the
fcrop in a curing barn and to the
ipack bouse, and have it destroyed
jby fire or have it scattered and
ruined by a hurricane.' It's a long
jway from setting until selling. The

to where you would sell only $500
of tobacco in alL You would be paid
the difference between the $900
you sold, and the $1499 you were
insured for, or $999. Thus you re
ceived your $1499 part from the
insurance, and part from the. sale
of tobacco. Instead of Black Shank,
the damage could nave been from
drowning, insects, drought, fire In
curing barn, "fire in pack house,
Wind, hail, or other unavoidable
causes of damage. Avoidable dam
ages, such as neglect of the crop,
are not insured, y. v, V'v,;
;f 8. Suppose you ALSO had ' 6
acres of tobacco that ' you were
farming on halves. You could insure
only your interest in the 6 acres.
You would be covered for about
$897 for your part of the 6 acres.
It would, cost you $24.60. U you
made less than $897 on your part
of the 6 acres, the insurance would,
make up the difference. The person
sharing the other half of .the 6
acres could take insurance on his
part of the 6 acres. If he did not,
you could still insure your part.
6. Suppose on the 9 acres in
which you. received all of the crop,
you made a good crop -- it sold
for $600 per acre or $3000 in all -
but on the 9 acres in which you
received one-half, you had bad
luck say a pack house burned
and your part sold for only $300.
You would collect the difference
between $897, the amount of your
Insurance, and $300 or $59. The
fact that you made a good crop in
the 8 acres would not keep you
from collecting on your part of the
6 acres.'.:..-vjv.v,V'''V'-,;

TOBACCO - With the .0937 percent
Increase, farmers should be extra
careful when they check their ac

days. Please talk Insurance and the
advantages of taking out this all

ACP PROGRAM - Advise farmers
on the Instructions of the ACP Pro
gram. Have all of them to under
stand that prior approval will have
to be secured at the county office
before the practice is carried out.
No approval can be given after the
practice has been completed. If
bills are required for the practice
they carry out, they should bring
or mail these to the county office,
as the practice will have to be can
celed if these are not received.
Duplin County was allotted $102,
450.00 for ACP practices to be used
during the 1951 program year. To
date we have given approvals In
the amount og $92,098.64, which
only leaves $10,351.36 in the county
pool. We -have 4700 Harms eligible
to receive benefit of the program
and only 1510 farms taking advan
tage of the money allocated to the
County.
There will be no acreage allot
ments on 1951 corn and wheat
crops. This results from maximum
production required to meet na
tional defense needs. This action
cancels compliance with corn and
wheat acreage allotments as condi
tion for price support ......

filing an application for a new pea
nut allotment should come to the
county office during the remainder
of January. v..-- .: v
