Ha REPORTS
111 v
Frem, WASHINGTON
Washington I am very hap
py that the Department of Agri
culture has amended its regula
tions regarding farmers losing
acreage allotments when they
sell portions of the farms for
nonJagricultural purposes.
Some adjustments in these
regulations have been needed for
a long 'time due to the growth
of cities and towns throughout
North Carolina and other States.
Until the regulations, were
changed farmers who sold build
ing lots on their farms, for ex
ample, were required to lose part
of their acreage allotments. This
same rule applied to land that
was sold for churches, industrial
plants, shopping centers, etc.
The only exception was land
that was subject to condemna
tion under the rights of emi
nent domain, such as land taken
for the construction of high
ways, schools, and other public
purposes.
As time passed, a great mlany
very serious problems came
about as a result of these rigid
regulations. In many areas of
North Carolina, these regulations
resulted in land being priced too

Thq amended regulations will
mean that farmers can sell off
part of their land at reasonable
prices without losing proportion
ate percentages of their acreage
allotments. Many farmers own
land they would like to sell or
develop for non-agricultural pur
poses, and the new regulations
will enable them to do so with
out being penalized with reduced
acreage allotments.
The new regulations require
that both the buyer and the
seller of farm land must sign
an agreement that the land sold
will not be used for agricultural
purposes. It will be up to the
county Agricultural Stabilization
and Conservation committees to
enforce the new regulations.
The changes in regulations will
not only give immediate relief
to many farmers who had been
facing a reconstitution of their
acreage allotments this year, but
over the long haul it will pro
vide much more opportunity for
all our small communities to
grow and bring in new indus
try and businesses.

community more attractive,

Cattle Referendum Is
Scheduled March 25th
Dimes are creating new de
mands for Tar Heel beef.
According to George Lewis,
chairman of the Chowan County
Cattle for Slaughter Referendum
Committee, beef consumption has
increased from 80 pounds to 83.4
pounds per person in North Car
olina during the last three years.
The dimes have been collected
for the N. C. Cattlemen’s Asso
ciation 'through an assessment
program whereby farmers con
tribute 10c per head on all cattle
sold for slaughter that bring
more than $20.00 per head to
promote North Carolina beef and
beef products.
Farmers will vote on whether
they wish to continue this as
sessment program on Saturday,
March 25.
All persons who share in the
proceeds from the sale of cattle
for slaughter are eligible to vote
in this referendum. Voters may
choose to cast their ballot at
polling places most convenient
to them.
Chairman Lewis urges all Cho
wan County cattle producers to
vote in the March 25th referen
dum. Polling places will be at
Melvin Evans’ store at Cross
Roads and Byrum Hardware and
Hughes-Parker Hardware stores
in Edenton.

Red Cross Spent
$2,512 In Chowan
For Donna Damage
William Easterling, Red Cross
Disaster Chairman for Chowan
County, announces that the Red
Cross spent $2,512 in Chowan
County in relief after Hurricane
Donna which struck the county
last October.
'Following the hurricane, Mr.
Easterling received applications
for relief from many persons in
the county who had wind dam
age. These appliations were all
investigated by Red Cross per
sonnel. After the investigations
Mr. Easterling named a commit
tee consisting of Earl Goodwin,
George Lewis and George Hos
kins, who went over the appli
cations and either approved or
disapproved the grants. The
grants were made on 'the basis of
need.
Lower Insurance On
Cars Is Now Forseen
Lower car insurance rates are
foreseen by the president of the
nation’s largest auto insurance
company, which has already c |
$6,000,000 from its policyholders’
premium bill.
Edward B. Rust, president of
State Farm Mutual at Blooming
ton, 111., said further cuts are
likely in 1961 providing claim
costs continue downward. In
surance rates and the traffic ac
cident toll march hand-in-hand,
he said, and stepped-up traffic
safety efforts in many large
cities are beginning to pay off
in lower insurance costs for
many motorists. In a few areas
where accident experience has
worsened, rates may go up, but'
the overall picture is good, he|
said.
Local agent for State Farm’
is Chas. M. Newcomb. He said,
his company is now in its twen
tieth year as the nation’s largest
auto insurer.
