story in a nutshell and although
a work sheet is filled oat the in«
dividual farmer is still his own

Those who are only mildly in

order that they may be prepared
to receive whatever benefits they
ssra. The time Was eiktended a
few days from last Saturday in
order that those who had - not
learned the workings of the
plan might stiU hSire a chance.
The extension was announced
through this week but if there
are those who have not filled out
a work sheet and who are inter
ested, they should act promptly.
These application forms can be
secured from any member of the
county committee or any mem
ber of any committee appointed
to serve any of the six districts in

committee cannot be contacted a
farmer may fill his aj^lication
