TWO BEAUTIFUL
DAYS—Last year, at about
this time, it was our
pleasure to entertain in
Plymouth the directors of
most of the 15 Regional
Libraries in North Carolina
at a quarterly meeting.
Once again, the meeting
was held in the eastern part
of the state but this time
Mary Wilson of the
Beaufort - Hyde - Martin
Regional with headquarters
in “little” Washington was
the hostess with the mostest.
It looked like spring with
bright sunny skies, daffodils
just starting to bloom, and
an exhilarating wind
blowing. I hated to stay
indoors but it was a great
get-together of good friends.
This time we succeeded in
luring our most vocal and
most popular member to
join us. Bill Hess, who calls
himself “the wild man from
the mountains” hates to
leave his lovely home in
Spruce Pine where he
directs the Avery-Mitchell-
Yancey Regional Library
but everyone is always
delighted when he does
since he keeps the meetings
so lively. As usual, he was
armed with a long list of
problems to be discussed
since he is vitally concerned
over the trends in library
development in North
Carolina. His background as
a lawyer contributes to the
usefulness of his valuable
suggestions for improving
library service. I’m sure we
are all glad he decided to
come.
Twelve library regions
sent directors (in one case,
the assistant director) to
Willie Holley
Holley To Ploy
In All-Star Gome
Edenton Aces
runningback Willie Holley
will play in the annual East-
West All-Star Game in
Greensboro, July 29, it was
announced by Edenton head
football coach Jimmy
Addison.
Holley, a senior, was the
Aces leading scorer with 17
touchdowns, last season. He
amassed 1,243 yards
rushing.
The East team will be
coached by Frank Ciamillo
of Havelock.
Coach Addison remarked,
“Willie scored four against
him in the play-offs, so he
(Ciamillo) will probably be
looking for him to play
offense.”
Holley said that he will
begin getting in shape for
the game around the first of
July.

Designations Begin March 1— April 2
Warehouse Deisgnations
The sign-up period for
flue-cured tobacco growers
to designate warehouses for
1976 will begin on March 1
and run through April 2. All
producers are urged to
make arrangements
necessary to designate as
soon as possible. In the past
two years some producers
have had to wait in line the
last few days of the sign-up.
The designation program
for this year continues the
new system initiated in 1974.
This program has brought
about a drastic change in
the process of marketing as
it has been known in the
past. Most farmers feel this
new system has relieved
much of the congestion of
past years.
Under the system,
growers must designate
warehouses at which they
wish to sell before the sales
season opens to be eligible
for price support. Growers
are limited to warehouses
within a 100-mile radius of
their county seats. Any
amount of the 1976 crop can
be designated up to 110 per
cent of this • year’s farm
quotas.
If additional poundage of
flue-cured tobacco is leased
to the farm, the grower may
designate at the time the
lease is filed. Producers
may redesignate after the
markets are open. These
redesignation periods will
be announced at a later
date.
Flue-cured producers will
be furnished a letter prior to
March 1 explaining the
designation procedure. A
list of the eligible
warehouses at which they
will be eligible to designate
is available at county ASCS
offices.
1976 Tobacco Program
Income from the
production of flue-cured
tobacco continues to be the
principal source of farm
income in North Carolina.
Flue-cured tobacco
producers are now making
final plans for their 1976
crop. Listed below are some
of the key features of the
1976 program that growers
need to remember as they
complete plans for this year.
Basic farm quotas were
decreased by 15 per cent for
1976. Individual notices
giving the acreage and
quotas have been mailed to
the home of our hostess,
Mary Wilson.
SCREECHES
AMONG PEgRS—
Despite our delight over the
news we received that the
House of Representatives
had passed, by an
overwhelming vote, a bill to
extend the Library Services
and Construction Act
(LSCA) we'were not always
in total agreement. In fact,
the discussion over the best
method for distributing
these federal funds found us
.split right down the middle
between special projects
versus per capita funding of
designated materials or
services. However, this is an
exceptional case since the
regional directors form the
most unified group of
libraries in the state,
ordinarily. The unique
problems associated with
all producers.
Flue-cured growers will
not be required to stay
within their allotments in
order to qualify for price
support on up to 110 per cent
of their effective quota in
1976 marketings.
Producers may market up
to 110 per cent of the farm’s
poundage quota without
penalty. However, any sales
above 100 per cent will be
deducted from the 1977
quota. Sales above 110 per
cent are subject to
marketing quota penalties.
The ban on the use of
DDT, TDE* endrin, and
toxaphene is continued in
1976. Producers must certify
they have not used these
pesticides if they are to be
eligible for price support.
The discount variety
program is also in effect for
1976. Price support on these
varieties will be at 50 per
cent of the rate of
acceptable varieties.
Flue-cured tobacco may
be transferred by lease from
one farm to another farm
within the county.
The grower designation of
warehouses initiated in 1974
will be continued in 1976.
The sign-up period for
growers to designate
markets will begin on
March 1 and continue
through April 2.
These are only a few of the
key features of the 1976 flue
cured tobacco program.
Any grower with questions
about any phase of the
program should contact
their local ASCS office.
Transfer of Allotments
The time of year has
arrived when many North
Carolina farmers are
finalizing their plans to
lease and transfer cotton,
peanut, and-or tobacco
allotments from one farm to
another in order to take
better advantage of their
land, equipment, labor, etc.
Therefore, producers are
reminded of several
important facts concerning
lease and transfer and of
their responsibilities in the
transaction.
1. Flue-cured tobacco
allotment and quota can be
leased and transferred
within a given county for a
period of from one to five
years. The final date for
filing an application with the
county ASCS office in
November 30 of the current
crop year. Additional
restrictions or eligibility
requirements apply to
transfers filed after June 14
where transferring farms

multl«county library
systems lead us to draw
strength from each other. It
fat much more common for
us to present a unanimous
opinion in gpar advice to the
State Library- although
they don’t always
implement our suggestions.
Another meeting of peers
took place just before I left
for Washington (N. C.) last
week. Our monthly mini
staffmeeting was held in the
Soundview Restaurant, the
geographical center of the
Pettigrew Region with our
libraries in Plymouth,
Edenton and Columbia. A
special guest was Bunny
White of the Council on
Aging who explained their
work on the Information and
Referral Service with which
public libraries are
cooperating.
have a basic quota of more
than 2,000 pounds.
2. Cotton allotment may
be transferred by either
lease or sale. Each county
committee makes the
determination on out-of
county transfers for its
county. The final date for
filing an application is April
11 for all counties. This is
also th{ final date to release
cotton acreage or request
cotton acreage from the
county’s “released pool.”
3. Peanut allotment may
be transferred by lease or
sale and is restricted to
within county. The final date
is April 1. This is also the
final date for release and
requesting reapportionment
of released acreage.
Local county ASCS offices
maintain bulletin boards as
a service to producers who
wish to lease allotment or
quota either to their farm or
away from their farm.
Producers who wish to use
the bulletin board for
leasing and transferring
should contact the county
office.
km Restricted
To Day Use
WILMINGTON - Visitors
to the Palmer Point
recreation area at Ken-
Reservoir will find day use
activities in 1976 but no
marina and no overnight
camping. Daytime
activities such as
picnicking, swimming, and
boat launching will be
provided free of charge by
the US Army Corps of
Engineers.
Past years have seen a
marina and overnight
camping at Palmer Point
but the concessionaire’s
lease expired at the end of
1975 and was not renewed.
The size of the area
restricted services and
record high waters in early
1975 destroyed most of the
facilities there.
Col. Homer Johnstone,
Wilmington District
Engineer, said the corps is
preparing to advertise for
bids for a concessionaire
oper &t e d marina
campground complex at
nearby Keats Peninsula.
“The larger size and higher
terrain of this arek are
much more conducive to
meeting the growing
demand for services than
Palmer Point,” he said. “In
the interim fuel and other
marina services are
available within a few
miles.”
