farm was reported here today by
D R. Lee, prominent local busi

A total of $33,000 worth of
government checks in payment
for compliance with the soil pro
gram for 1938 has been paid ont
to Wilkes farmers, it was learned
today from the office of County
Agent Dan Holler.
This represents approximately
one-half of the total expected for
the county and other checks are
expected to arrive soon. EsA
farmer is notified by mail when
his check arrives at the office,
.Mr. Holler said.
From expressions by farmers
receiving the checks, it is indi
cated that a majority of the farm
ers are using their government
checks in financing planting of
crops for 1939 and much of it is
j going to finance plantings which
I will result in compliance with th*
j soli program this year.
It is expected that a total of
approximately 3,500 farms will
receive checks in Wilkes this
year. This represents a ’olg, ma
jority of the toUl of 5,000 farms,
the total representing each tract
which was classed as a farm in
the farm census conducted In
1936.
Last week meetings were helK'
throughout the county in making
a survey of expected complianw
this year. The survey indicated
that a majority of the farms wW
strive to earn the maximum pay
ment allowed for their respectivn
farms this year, to which thw
county agent’s office is offevtlHr-
every reasonable cooperation.
