Aecording to Zeno 0. Ratcliff, Jr., chairman of the ASC State Commit tee, only 6-1 per cent of the farms in this state chose to exceed their regular allotment by up to 40 per cent. These farmers as a result of the increased cotton allotment will have their support rate reduced by 15 per cent of parity. The percent age of farmers in this state who chose the larger allotment is only slightly smaller than the percent age of farmers throughout the na tion who made the same choice, for the nation, 7.2 per cent of the farms chose the larger allotment. On the basis of acreage, howev er, Ratcliff said, about twice as much acreage will be represented in the choice “B” group for the nation than for North Carolina. Based on acreage in thig state, farmers controlling 6.4 per cent of the acreage allotment chose choice “B” while throughout the nation farmers controlling 15.6 per cent of the allotted acreage chose choice “B.” This, Ratcliff said, is an indi cation that the larger farms throughout the nation seem to be more inclined to select the choice THEY'RE SO COURTEOUS IN THE PRESCRIPTION DEPARTMENT AT CLARK’S DRU6 STORE EVEN THAT'S NOT SO IMPORTANT AS KNOW INS HOW CAREFUL they ARE.L Beautiful but bitter Barbara Graham, played by Susan Hay- Ward, keeps her young son's toy tiger with her through all her trouble in "I Want to Live!" coming soon at the Kehoe Theatre. Her downward path from shill to prostitute to B-girl, winding up with a murder conviction, is shown with dramatic force. Planting of Forest Trees Is At Highest Peak in History CLMK| \ dcfrjuuf / drugstores broad C.M/DDLE STREET /VEIV BERN ,N.C Planting of forest trees through out the country has reached an all- time liigh, with plafttings under'the Soil Bank Oohservation Reserve making a substantial contribution to the total, according to informa tion received by Zeno O. Ratcliff Jr., chairman of the North Carolina Agricultural Stabilization and Con servation Committee. A Department of Agriculture re port shows that 1,568,708 acres of trees were planted during fiscal year 1958. This doubles the 1953 total, triples the plantings in 1950 “B” with the larger allotment and the lower price support rate. Nation-wide, the acreage planted for cotton in 1959 as a result of farmers selecting choice “B” will be a million acres greater than it would otherwise have been. The na tional cotton allotment, according to Ratcliff, was originally slightly over 16 million acres. This allot ment, because of the choice made by 7.2 per cent of the nation’s farmers, will be in excess of 17 million acres.

In the Soil Bank, farmers have contracted to plant trees on ap proximately 10 per cent of the more than 10,000,000 acres of crop land placed in the Conservation Re serve through 1958. Tree planting is the second most popular conser vation use for which farmers have contracted under the program. Soil Bank land on which trees are to be planted must be taken out of crop production and put under contract for 10 years. Dur ing the contract period, materials resulting from good forest manage ment practices can be used or sold from the tree land. All the land scheduled for tree planting has not been planted since the production of forest tree seed lings is not yet adequate to meet the demand created by the Conser vation Reserve. Tar Heel farmers contributed on ly 43,631 acres to the total of 1,- 076,000 Soil Bank acres to be plant ed to trees. Farmers in Georgia led all others by contracting to plant 329,155 acres of trees under the program. South Carolina farm ers, with the second highest acre age, contracted 165,628 acres.

Hope you enjoy reading it: There’s one in every well-kept home, At least there ought to be. I’m Speaking, folks, of potted plants; There’s usually two or three. My wife especially goes for them; She hangs them on the wall. There’s one in every bedroom. And a couple in the hall. Geraniums! Begonias! A couple ferns to boot! I laid my comb upon the shelf. And even that took root! We use them for a centerpiece; I cuss them while I dine; Around and ’round the gravy boat Their dainty tendrils twine. She’s got a new terrarium; She put it in the den. Somewhere in the underbrush I’ve lost my fountain pen! We bought a “knife-o-tuffus” plant (I swear that’s how it sounds!) She stuck it in a butter crock; It grows by leaps and bounds! It acts like Jackie’s stalk of beans. Or else some jungle vine. It shot up to the ceiling, so She’s tied it there with twine! She has a way with potted plants; There is no doubt about it. What others do with thiamin She does with ease without it. $50.00 Allowance for Your Old Range Regardless of Age or Condition on a New COMPLETELY AUTOMATIC PYROFAX GAS RANGE Low Down Payment Easy Terms Craven County Gas Co.
