handicapped by lack of siftht, he possessed a keen mind
and in his preaching quoted the Bible accurately, in

Unknowing the Scriptures by heart.

REMINDER
Please report any changes

A change in the govern
ment’s flue-cured tobacco
program will allow farmers
to substantially overplant
their acreage allotments yet
retain eligibility for price
support provided the lower
stalk leaves are not har
vested. The announcement
was made here today by
Ray Fitzgerald, ad
ministrator of the
Agricultural Stabilization
and Conservation Service
(ASCS) of the U.S.
Department of Agriculture.
Under the change flue
cured tobacco farmers can
plant up to 120 per cent of
their acreage allotments
and still receive price
support if they do not har
vest the four lower leaves of
each stalk, exclusive of the
plant bed leaves which
normally are not harvested
anyway. Growers who do
not agree to this
arrangement will receive
price support only if they
limit their plantings to 100
per cerifof their allotments'
For the 1977 crop the
acreage limitation was 110
per cent of allotment.
The change was proposed
Record Services Provided
During January three
direct services provided
through the Community Life
Program surpassed all
"previous monthly service
records. These direct ser
vices, received by senior
citizens, were telephone
reassurance with 1,623;
transportation with 1,728,
and congregate meals with
3,595.
Telephone reassurance
allows senior citizens to be
reassured by daily
telephone contact with the
THE CHOWAN HERALD
December 20 and is
designed to enable farmers'
to produce and market a
larger part of their poun
dage quota in higher value,
upper stalk tobacco and less
lower stalk tobacco for
which demand and prices
are lower.
Most lower stalk leaves
normally have charac
teristics which place them
in the primings grades
(including nondescript and
nograde). For the 1977 crop
the loan rate for these
grades averaged 97.5 cents a
pound, while the average
loan rate for all other grades
was $1,194 a pound.
The loan rates for the
primings grades of flue
cured tobacco increased 1.23
cents a pound between 1976
and 1977. While the increase
for all other grades
averaged 7.8 cents a pound
during the same period, Mr.
Fitzgerald said he expects
that the loan rate for
(Timings grades will be at
most only a few cents higher
in 1978.
Growers who wish to
participate in this aspect of
the program must sign
agreements with their
county ASCS office. The
dates for this sign-up will be
announced soon by the
county offices. Growers who
enter into agreements will
be charged a fee to cover the
cost of a farm visit that will
be made to determine
compliance with the
agreement.
