News From SET-ASIDE ACREAGE REQUIREMENTS EXPLAINED Producers planning to sign up in the 1973 feed grain or wheat programs should give careful consideration to the land they plan to designate as set-aside acreage, according to A. C. Griffin, Chairman, Chowan ASC County Committee. In order to qualify for full program payments, producers must designate as set-aside cropland which is average in quality for the farm and which is in areas of reasonable size and shape. If land of below-average quality is designated as set aside. a reduction in the payment rate is made. For 1973, the rules have been changed to provide for much larger payment reductions than in previous years for producers who elect to designate low quality land or who designate dryland in lieu of irrigable land. If set-aside land does not meet quality standards, the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation (ASC) county committee will appraise what the land would yield per acre if planted to the applicable crop. The entire farm feed grain or wheat payment will be determined by multiplying this reduced yield times the applicable per bushel payment rate. Producers may be assured that their set-aside land will meet program requirements for quality, size, and shape by obtaining set-aside measurement and inspection service from the ASCS county office, pointed out Griffin. These services are provided at a charge which covers the cost. “Quality of set-aside land is important." Griffin said, "since setting aside acreage in the feed grain and wheat programs is a cooperative effort by program participants to prevent excess production. It is essential that set-aside land be acreage which would otherwise be in production." The sign up will be Feb. 5 ASCS Office through March 16, 1973. COTTON RELEASE If you have a cotton base and do wish to plant, please release it to the county committee. This will save your allotment in case you want it in future years. If you participate in the cotton program this year, you will not be required to set-aside any acreage. Cotton must be planted to qualify for payment. LEASE AND TRANSFER TOBACCO. PEANUTS, COTTON We are ready to accept lease and transfer agreements on tobacco, peanuts, and cotton. We will maintain a list in the county office of persons wishing to lease and also a list of persons wishing more allotment.

Weekly Legislative Summary This is the first of a series of weekly summaries prepared by the legislative staff of the Institute of Government on the work o{ the North Carolina General Assembly of 1»73. It is confined to discussions of matters of general interest. Start of the Session The 1973 General Assembly convened at noon on Wednesday, the 10th of January, with all 170 members present for the first calling of the roll. Despite the snow which fell on Raleigh the previous Monday and disrupted state business generally, the legislative leadership was ready for work immediately upon convening. On the same day as his formal election as Speaker, James E. Ramsey of Person named the chairmen and membership of all 38 House committees (this session there are two local government committees but none on state legislative districts or congressional redistricting). The President of the Senate, Lieut. Gov. James B. Hunt, Jr., had his assignments ready for opening day as well, naming committees (none on legislative and congressional redistricting, university trustees, or libraries). The promptness of these appointments meant that by the end of the first legislative day the General Assembly had completed its organization, perhaps a unique situation. The first-day election of officers went according to form. For the Senate, Gordon Allen of Person is president pro tempore; Roy Rowe is principal clerk; Eugene Simmons, reading clerk; and Brooks (Antiques Sc P postering QUALITY WORKMANSHIP COME IN AND BROWSE . . .

In addition to Speaker Ramsey, the House chose William Watkins of Granville as speaker pro tempore; Mrs. Joanne Smith as principal clerk; Sam Burrow as reading clerk; and Archie Lane as sergeant-at arms. The House rules were amended on the first day to make the office of speaker pro tempore elective rather than having the chairman of the Rules Committee automatically serve in that position. The rules of both houses were changed to move the starting time for Tuesday through Thursday sessions to 2:30 from noon. The Monday evening and Friday morning sessions will remain the same. The primary reason for the time change appears to be to allow the joint appropriations and finance committees to set morning meeting times rather than waiting for the end of the daily session, which in past sessions has resulted in members of one house waiting for the members of the other to adjourn. Prospects for Early Departure Ann'.al sessions may mean a shorter stay in Raleigh this year. The 1971 session set a record by meeting for 165 legislative and 195 calendar days, going all the way to July 21 and then coming back for a week in October to consider higher education. If there is to be a session in 1974, the likelihood of being in Raleigh to July of 1973 is slim. If fact, a number of the resolutions that have been introduced thus far to express sentiment for consideration of certain issues (for example, H 26 Endorsing Annual Sessions, which has already been adopted) require committee work to be completed at any early date. Characteristics of 1973 General Assembly The General Assembly has 40 new members in the House and 11 new members in the Senate (the same turnover rate as last session), a 35-15 split between Democrats and Republicans in the Senate and 85-35 in the House (a gain of 11 seats in the House and 8 in the Senate for the minority party from 1971), nine women legislators (breaking the record of six in 1965), and three blacks (one more than 1971). Governor’s Address Gov. James E. Holshouser, Jr., made his first appearance before the General Assembly on the 17th, or at least his first appearance as governor since he did serve previously in the House. He combined both his legislative and budget messages, generally expressing STOCKHOLDERS' NOTICE There will be a special meeting of the stockholders of the Cupola House Association, Inc., to be held January 30, 1973, at 3:00 o'clock P. M. in the Municipal Building, Edenton, N. C. The purpose of said meeting is to amend the Association's Articles of Incorporation in order that it may achieve a tax exempt status. All stockholders are urged to attend. George K. Mack, President Thursday, January 25, 1973. his belief that the well publicized surplus available this year and revenue-sharing funds give the state an “opportunity to meet needs we have never before been able to consider.” The governor expressed particular interest in the areas of education (especially kindergartens and upgrading teacher jobs and salaries), mental health (calling for appropriations double those recommended by the Advisory Budget Comm’n), and criminal justice (most particularly, minimum salaries for local law enforcement officers). He endorsed in principle the proposals mentioned above for changes in General Assembly operations (though promising to leave the specifics to the legislators themselves), and expressed his intent to make the executive branch work more efficiently
