THURSDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1954 THE NEWS-JOURNAL PAGE NINE FARM ITEMS By W. C. Wllllford County Farm Agent Printed in a commercial agri cultural information service was the following paragraph entitled: "Stop-and-Go Production Control Program is greatly complicating farm planning." It goes as fol lows: "In the last month, USDA has announced Total acreage allotment. No total acreage allot ments. No cost sharing for le gume seedings. Cost sharing for legume seeding. Cross-compliance on wheat acreage under 15 acres. No cross-compliance on 15 acres of wheat. ACP payments not tied to cross-compliance. ACP program tied in with cross-compliance. USDA has people em ployed who should know that sound farm management requires early knowledge of government plans." Farm planning will be far less complicated when the agricultural program is stabilized for the far mer to know from month to monlh what practices will be a permanent part of the program. If you are a wheat farmer, you received withirj the last few (lavs, a memorandum from the ASC nffice concerning Public Law 9(iu. This allows farmers the privilege of voluntarily surrend ering to the County ASC Com mittee any part of the 1955 wheat acreage that he does not intend to plant. , Any released acreage in 1055 will be regarded as having been planted on his farm provided wheat was seeded on the farm in at least one of the three years immediately preceding the year in which the allotment was deter mined. This should be done as soon as possible so the Commit tee can give other farmers the opportunity of using your un planted wheat acreage. October 31, 1954 is the deadline. For the fifth straight year, a commercial paper company in South Carolina is making it pos sible for any land ownr to order and receive free of charge up to 5000 pine tree seedlings to be planted during the comingseason. There will be 750,000 of these scddlings alloled to 32 counties in Southeastern North Carolina on a first come first serve basis. These trees arc to be used strictly for forestry proctices and not for ornamental purposes. The smallest number that you must agree to plant is 500 before you can get the free seedlings. There are no other strings attached as lri;o as you are a farmer. Last year, for example, some 18 million seedlings were order ed and planted by North Clrolina landowners, farmers, 4-H club members, and FFA boys combin ed with other private non-industrial landowners ordered only 43 of the total or 7,690,000. Yet farmers alone own half of all the forest land in the state and much of the unused open land suitable for planting and needing a crop of trees. Logically they should be ordering and planting at least half of all the tree seedlings made available each year.' Planting pines in this day and time is sound business. The de mand for forest products produc ed from pine is strong today and is expected to increase consider ably over the next 20 years. By 1975, pulpwood consumption is expected to be 50 greater and lumber consumption 10 greater than in 1950. This forecast is based on domestic requirements alone and does not take into ac count increasing foreign require ments. Actually foreign demand is of no great concern to Amer ican timber growers since the United States is now importing more forest products than are exported in order to meet our own needs. If you are eligible to vote and didn't get a ballot, hurry by your ASC office and get one. Home Agent's Narrative Report Fourteen Home Demonstration Clubs met in Hoke County in September with one hundred ami thirty-nine club members pres ent. The subject of the demon stration was "Make Your Home Bright with Light". A skit "Light Your Way" was used with the club members taking part. A house plan was given to each club member. Together the Ki-oups planned the wiling and lighting for this house just as tl.ey would like to have it. Sev eral slides on indirect hunting, liuht and dark l imn shades, and kitchen lighting were shown. The Ashemont Club had a de lightful meeting at the summer cabin of Mrs. Carl Riley near Montrose. The Little River Home Dem onstartinn Club served the Vass Lakcvicw Lions' Club during the month and cleared over $50.00 tor their club treasury. Dan Holler, Assistant State 4 H Club Leader, spent a half day in the rounty and held, a confer ence with the Farm and Home Agents. Miss Julia Melver, Extension Clothing Specialist, was in the county for a conference with the Home Agent regarding the Sta'e Fair booth. The Home Agent spent Sep tember 13th in Raleigh and com pleted plans for the State Fail booth. 4-H records were collected and six were sent to Raleigh for dis trict and state competition. 4-H Clubs met in September with one hundred and ninety five club members attending.

Ira tofbsI On Friday, October 15th, at 3:00 in the Lions' Club room of the counly office building, there will be an irrigation information meeting. All persons who are in terested in irrigation, including tenants who are farming with landowners who have irrigation systems, should plan to attend. We will discuss the different landlord - tenant arrangements that have been tried in other areas where landlords have in vested tremendous amounts of money in irrigation water sup ply and sprinkler systems. Some farmers who own no land will probably not receive ballots for use in ASC Commit tee elections unless they write for them or pick them up at the ASC office. Ballots will go out from ASC county offices to all farmers on the mailing list on October 7th. Many tenan farmers, how ever, will not be on the mailing list and they will have to take steps to secure a ballot prior to the deadline for mailing ballots on October 15. Persons are elgible to vote for ASC Community Committeemen if they have an interest as owner, operator, tenant, or sharecropper, on a farm that. is participating or is eligible to participate in any program administered during the current calendar year through the ASC County Office. Horace Godfrey estimates that a fourth of the eligible voters throughout the state will not be on county mailing lists and will not be able to vote unless they take action to secure, mark, and return a ballot. , . -. - ' --: .
