All Offers To Cut Cotton Acreage Are Acce To Authorize Early Plowing Much Of Land Taken Out Of Cotton Expected To Be Planted In Feed Crops Farm administrators this week ordered acceptance of all contract offers signed by cotton growers to reduce their acreages which have been approved by county agents and county committess in the campaign to reduce the output of the staple in the sixteen growing states this year by 3,500,000 bales. They authorized county agents to issue permits to farmers to begin plowing up their owing crop, whenever it was covered by a con tract which has been approved, so that farmers may plant feed crops for home consumption without waiting for formal acceptance of each individual contract. Last week administrators said they intended to forward an in dividual acceptance to each farm er and warned them against plow ing up their crop until this: had been receibed. The message sent to the county agents said: "The secretary of agriculture has authorized acceptance and ap proval of all producer contracts where same are approved by coun ty agents and county committees. "Printed instructions and em ergency permit blanks are on the way to be used by farmers to se cure permits from county agents to immediately destroy cotton without having to await approval or formal acceptance blanks. "Instructions and emergency permit should reach you Friday. In no event shall producer begin the destruction of his crop until his application has been approved and permit isued by county agent.” Trade-Ins Not To Carry Sales Tax When Sold Again (When a new article is sold and a second-hand article taken in ex change, the new article is subject to the full 3 per cent general sales tax, but when the second-hand or used article received in the exchan ge, or when articles are re-sold by the merchant, such sales may be excluded from the sales tax, pro vided a separate record is kept of each transaction, in compliance with rules announced by Commis sioner of Revenue A.

This is the substance of an: announcement sent millers in Sal-j isbury and Rowan county by C., FT. Robertson, collector of revenue. Local millers state that some of the farmers are unable to under stand why they must sign affida vits, and this explanation is given! in order that the farmers may un-| derstand why they are required to do so.

Absentee Ballots Not to Be Allowed In Repeal Election "Absentee ballots will not be permitted in this (the repeal elec tion November 7) election, nor svill markers or assistants be allow - id,” Attorney General D. G. Brummitt points out, referring to section 10 of the act chapter 413, public laws of 1933, submitting the proposal to a vote of the peo ple, in a statement just issued. "Only a person physically un ible to enter a booth or mark his V ballot can receive assistance for that purpose, and then only from some election official,” he adds.: "The registrars who acted at the last general election in 1932 will act as rgistrars at this election next November,” he states, referr-j ing to section 5 of the act. "County boards of election will: appoint new poll holders or judges j of election. One of these poll holdrs must be a person generally known to be in favor of the repeal amendment, and one of them a | person generally known to be op posed to the repeal amendment. j "I think that this and the other j provisions of the act assure a fair election, insofar as that can rea sonably be done. In some cases, the registrar will be for the repeal amendment, and some against it,I but in any event, each side is as-; sured fair representation, in tha:j it will have one of the poll holders or judges of election, which, of course, should be the case, insofar as possible, in all primaries and elections,” Mr. Brummitt states. --------- | 20000 Merchants In North Carolina Copies of the general sales tax , law enacted by the 1933 General Assembly and copies of the rules j and regulations promulgated in , compliance with the law by Com missioner of Revenue A.
