tions of the Secretary of Agricul
ture governing combination and di
vision of allotments and for advis
ing County ASC Committees when
purchases or sales have been made,
according to H. D. Godfrey, State
Administrative Officer for the ASC
committees are not in a position to
know of all land sales and purchas
es and therefore cannot make a
change in the acreage allotments
tor the land involved until a request
(or a division or combination is
filed by the interested producers.
The regulations and instructions
issued by the Department of Agri
culture tell how allotments may be
divided or combined.
County ASC committees must fol
low these regulations in all cases. "
Many farmers have had some sad i
experiences in the past because j
they did not determine in advance
how the acreage allotments would
be divided before they bought or
sold land covered by the allotments.
Godfrey advised that both the
buyer and seller have a responsibil
ity for notifying the county ASC of
fice as soon as possible after land
is sold and of requesting the county
committee to make a division of the
allotments for the farm if <^nly a

MURPHY, N. a
GARDEN TIME
By M. E. GARDNER
N. C. State College
Our students In horticulture
built a float for the "Homecoming
Parade" at State College laat
Saturday. The floor of the trailer
was covered with a green raffia
mat, representing a football field,
augmented with goal posts and a
giant football completely covered
with hardy red and white chry
santhemum blossoms. Fringing
the two sides of the trailer were
cardboard strips covered with
chrysanthemums and spelling out
the word, "Welcome Grads " In
back, we spelled out "Horticul
ture" in red and white. In all we
used about 20,000 blossoms, most
of which were wired to floral
picks in order that they might be
held securely in place- This was
quite a task which was finished
about 4 a. m. Sataurday. The
tailer was pulled by a red and
white convertible adorned with
two pretty coeds in evening
gowns. The float placed third in
the campus Organizations Di
> vision.
I am writing about this because
it was such a splendid group ef
fort on the part of student mem-j
bers of our Horticultural Club.
Approximately 20 boys and girls
worked from 5 p. m. Friday un
til 4 a. m. Saturday to accomp
lish the task.
If you want to undertake some
thing of this nature far high
school or college festivities next
fall why not begin preparation
now? Your local florist and nur
seryman, vocational agriculture
teacher, county agent and local
garden clubs will be glad to i>f
fer suggestions concerning suit
able flowers that can be produc
ed outside as a school project
Right now I can think of nothing
better than hardy chrysanthe
mums, about which I have al
ready written.
A number of requests have been
received for information con
cerning variety lists of tree fruits,
small fruits and grapes for the
home and farmstead. 1 will write
about this next week.
part of the farm is sold.
If the purchaser owns other land
and wishes to combine the newly
purchases land with the other land
he must file a request with the
county committee for the combina
tion. The county committee, ac
cording to Godfrey, may not ap
prove a combination unless the
tracts are operated in the manner
prescribed by the Secretary's reg
ulations and instructions.
Before approving a combination,
county committees are required to
determine that a legal deed has
been made and recorded in connec
tion with the newly purchased land.
Godfrey urged that lawyers or
real estate dealers who are hand
ling the sale or purchase of farm
land or who are advising farmers
in such transactions become famil
iar with the regulations before ad
vising their clients or completing
, any such transactions.
