' -'uallv. farmers may have room to complain than they i j thought, according to a story aring in the Winter, issue of earchand Farming," George 11 non, Perquimans County ZC Office Manager, says. The farm" research magazine, I ublished by the H C. Agricul- : 1 Experiment Station, reports that Agricultural Stabilization tnd Conservation's mearements itre as good as could be expected for the conditions under which they must" be -made. ' Of course errors are made. But In a research project reported by m'nrfn'fina linAP Olid flWr measurements tended to cancel' out; Based on the average for all fields measured, farmers were fa- vored slightly. : .: ". ,. ' .W'. kCnne'ress has said that ASC must penalize growers who over-j fclant by as much as one-hundred- ( eth (1100) of an acre on tobacco,! and. one-tenth (110) of an acre on ither allotment crops. .Thus, the .acreage of each tobacco field mu$t be determined to within a hunjlredeth of an acre and the tiheir allotment crops to within a tunth of an acre. ' To' do this quickly, economical lyand with personnel having no engineering training is a tremen dous task. "i Measuring from aerial photo graphs seems to be the best solu tion to this dilemma. Most acre age has been measured in this manner for several years. ASC field workers visit farms and -o cate the boundaries of each field on the photographs. Acreage then is determined ' in county ASC Offices. In the survey, a civil engineer ing team measured one tobacco field1 on each of more than 80 farms "in Lenoir, Wayne and Johnston counties. Fields were from two to three acres in size. Each angle was turned twice aiid recorded to one hundredeth min ute. '" Or". A. L.'Kinkner, professor of experimental statistics at N. C. State College, I then compared their measurement of each field with that of ASC. ' '' The difference between ASC tnedsurements and that of the civ il engineers averaged about one- tenth acre per field. Measure ments of only 10 out of 82 fields differed by one-hundredeth acre or less." :: "However," Mr.. Finkner adds, )'AKP measurements for. all fields totaled slightly less than that of tne engineers. . "Farmers were favored by a bit more than two hundredeths of an acre per field." v, 5 Two changes in 1958 measure ment procedures may increase ac- truracy slightly. A more accurate instrument, the planimeter, will yeplace the rotometer for measur ing maps. Also, ASC will use aerial maps scaled to one inch for "330, instead of 660 feet on the . q increase accuracy further would be very expensive. For example; the-average cost of en gineers measurements in -the sur vey was $17.21 per acre. ASC's average cost for measuring with present methods is about 83 cents per acre. ' "If every field In the State were measured by an engineering team there still would be some errors in measurement," Finkner points out "Even when the same field is measured by different teams, or by the : sameteam.; at two different times, there wltt al most always slight differ ence between the two SgyiwA The research project, was sug gested; the : of Farm Organizations and, Agen cies.

Committee Seeks Favorable Tax Vote Continued from Page 1 supplementing the general school fund, leaving -tax appropriations for schools at about the same figure as paid during the cur rent year. The proposal does not request an increase in school tax greater than paid this year. It was also pointed " out the Board of Education woulcV actu ally spend only that part of the funds derived frqm tax -.sources which 'wduld tel -fneeded each year and hence 'thiSf'special 'tax might range - from one to not more man ow . ; cenis. t iw in stance, should Perquimans Counr ty schools become eligible fpr federal funds,, now anticipated, it is believed very little, if any, of the proposed, tax will be re quired for the school year 1958; 1959. During the discussion period at the meeting, school principals mentioned several ways in which the proposed tax support could be used in strengthening their educational program. Th.eir pro posals were a few among several which have often been discussed among citizens interested in bet ter schools, such as framed sec retarial help - ia r principals' of fices, better - library . services, public school music and better laboratory facilities and science instruction on i the r: high school level.
