Motto Ako
- Farmers will find it considerably to
their advantage to plant within their i
cotton acreage allotments this year,
Leonidas L. Lane, chairman of the
Perquimans County ASC Committee,
reminded growers' today. ' j
It is fairly , well understood, Mr.
Lane explained, that under the cotton
1 marketing quota - acreage allotment
program, each pound of excess cot.
ton grown by. farmers who do sot
comply with their cotton allotments
will be subject to a penalty.
What's, not always understood or
remembered is the fact that a grower
who does not' plant within his cotton
allotment will lose any cost-sharing,
assistance which might otherwise be
available to him under the Agricul
tural Conservation Program, and his
cotton likewise will not be eligible for
a government price support loan.
' So it'ar to the grower's financial ad
vantage to grow only his share of the
national cotton7 marketing quota
which is the amount of cotton produc
ed from his acreage allotment. Of
lotment may be marketed free. ;
Cotton marketing .quotas were ap-,
proved by 94 per cent of the growers
who Voted in a national referendum
on the question last December. The
quotas are made operative through
acreage allotments, which are estab
lished for states, counties and indivi
dual farms.

State Is Unprepared
To Withstand Any
Major Enemy Attack
In a clarion call to governing bod-'
les of each political subdivision to
remedy the situation. State Civil De
fense Director Edward F. Griffin says
that North Carolina is not prepared
to withstand any kind of enemy at
tack atomic, hydrogen or otherwise.
Griffin called the situation criti-J
cal.
"Until every county and every town
has a properly functioning Civil' De
fense Corps, operating under a direc
tor appointed by the governing body
of that political subdivision, until each
community has adequate warning sys
tem, unti a Ground Observer Post is
established at the eight-mile intervals
prescribed by Air Defense Command,
we will remain vulnerable," the direc
tor stated.
