meeting at the courthouse Satur

itlee offered farmers for cash

The county-wide meeting,

cious county, climaxed a series
of meetings conducted in several
communities by County Agent
Dan Holler and officials of the
soil conservation association.
Mr. Holler presided over the
meeting and reported that the
farmers have shown much inter
est in planning their farming
operatlhns for 1938 in accord
ance with provisions of the farm
program. A goal will be set for
each farm and every farmer will
be encouraged to reach the goal
and earn the maximum payment.
A total of 2,040 farmers In
Wilkes signed work sheets for
1937 and the program has proved
so popular that an even greater
number are expected to come in
for the coming year.
The first dispatch ot applica
tions for payment under the 1937
program were forwarded to Ra
