NewFannActTo Benefit Fanners In Wilkes County More Than 800 Farmers To Receive Payments Early In 1957 REPORTS PREPARED Soil Improvement Will Be One Great Result Of' New Program More than 800 Wilkes county farmers will receive checks In the latter part of January and early in February for compliance with provision ot the soil conserva tion act, which substituted for the triple A after its demise. Although it is not definitely known how much the farmers will receive checks or the exact number, more than 900 signed work sheets and a small number of those who signed have failed to qualify for payments by grow ing soil building crops in lieu of ca.sh crops. The opinion has been expressed •b.nt the soil conservation act will benefit the farmcr.s of Wilkes county more than the triple A while it functioned, in both cash benefits and soil improvement. This condition exists mainly be cause it is broader in scope and covered diversified farming and because the farmers were inter ested In soil improvement. delaHa of reportt pri or to the final report requesting payment are being worked out ■a the office of County Agent A. d.

The campaign was a success for several reasons. First, credit should go to tbe contestants them selves for the untiring efforts from start to finish, Tuen, too, we had 4^ with us throughout tha campmgti and we take this oppor tunity of expressing our apprecia tion of its enthusiastic support and herewith pledge ourselves to give them the best paper within our power. Good Salesmanship Displayed Every active candidate nas been awarded a prize commensurate with the amount uf time and en ergy expended, and satisfaction with the outcome has been ex pressed by all the contestants. Those not taking top prizes ac cepted their awards in the very finest spirit of sportsmanship. The Journal-Patriot has' added hundreds of new readers to its list which added to to tiie creditable circulation enjoyed previous to the campaign, affords advertisers a medium unparalleled in this sec tion of North Carolina. Due to the eii'orts of the contestants, every part of the territory was exploited with the result that The Journal- Patriot covers thoroughly the sec tions the publishers wish it to serve. The A. M. Alexander Co., con ducted the campaign in such a way as to ihake for the paper hundrede of new friends, and handled it in such a manner that there is no possibility of an unfavorable aA- ermath. Ti.eir ettoits m lainiess to all candidates was the subject of much commendation. The judges for the contest were M. G. Burner, manager of the local branch of the Duke Power Co.; D. S. Hill, eissistant cashier of the Deposit & Savings Bank and W. B. Gwyn, teller at the Bank of North Wilkesboro. These gentlemen proved to be interested and congenial workers and to them we wish to express our appreciation and thanks for the cooperation and assistance in (Continued on page eight) New Subscribers Beinsr'Added To Subscription List Ihirijig the snbscrlption cam- pal^ wUicb doaed IKediiesday nl|dit namorous new aad re- nemi sabsarlpthms vme to*, ftoi in and ntoSoaniri-FMiM force fomid It ywst to impo*.. sflde to keep the Ust posted «p to date mna awbatribew as .fSto'-i* cts OB ^ aHMotf Hst by Jaw Vwry l.'^^Maav fotoP atroOIr' .'beat Bdabd
