COLLINS FEELS FARMERS HERE ARE HONEST VICE CHAIRMAN COLLINS OF AAA SAYS Oft PER CENT OF THEM COMPLYING WITH CONTROL PROGRAM J. B. Collins, who has been with ihe AAA Program since the tbegin- nlng, states that at least M per cent of Harnett county farmers are com plying with the Tobacco Control Pro gram.

Mr. Collins stated that farmers realized that in order to got a fair price for tobacco they must keep production In line with consumption. In order to guav- rntee all fanners in Harnett county a fair deal, his office will measure i.n tobacco farms and the State and County will spot-check at least 30 per cent of all farms measured. Mr. Collins stated that in defend ing his statement that most farmers are honest, he had Just heard a con versation betw’een one of the clerks and a good farmer from Black River township. The conversation wont like this; the farmer came in and stated to the clerk, “I don’t think I paid you for an application I filed yester day to have my tobacco acreage pro- measured, Check your' records and see If I did.” Upon checking the rec ords, the clerk founa he was short the exact amount. The good farmer handed him the money and stated he did not think he had paid htni and he Itad made a special trip to see if he had.

Edgar Lucas and his crew of motor vehicle inspectors picked up imploments and gadgets Saturday after a two weeks stand here and moved to Dunn. They had inspected '900 cars and trucks. According to schedule, tho lane will be brought Iwick boro around •iune 15. Of the 900' vehicles Inspected through tho lane on Its two weeks stand hero, 460 were approved on the Initial tdst. Supervisor Lucas said all of tho vehicles failing to get tho bluo*8tlck- er on the first run through tho lane needed only minor repairs and ad justments, mostly adjustments. The record of inspections here 'bears out Supervisor Lucas’ state ment to The News when tho lane first was .sot up: that It is far bettor for owners to drive their cars and trucks through the lano before going to a garage for any repair or adjust ment.' The Supevisor pointed out that if the vehicle Is first inspootsd in the lano it will be easier for the owner to know in advance what his vehicle needs, and thus he is .able to save time by letting tho garage mechanic know what is to bo ■done without examination. Supervisor Lucas told The News that to dato his lane has inspected .1600' vehicles, 1900 of which were approved on initial test. That is over .‘>0 per cent O. K.’s on first test. The present schedule calls for tho lane to be back in' LlUington,around June 15, but tho schedules are con stantly being changed, and the re turn date may bo a little earlier or a, little later. Supervisor Lucas came to The Newjs office as his crew and outfit were ready to pull out of town and said; "Wo want to thank tho people for their courtesy, consideration 'and hearty cooperation with us.” His crew of Inspectors were 'prais ed for their efficiency and attitude toward all motor vehicle owners who visited the lane.
