During the past few years the
Triple A has been furnishing
lime, phosphate and various seeds
to farmers as a grant of aid with
payment at government contract
prices being deducted from soil
program earnings.
In order that there may be no
misunderstanding, Lawrence Mill
er, secretary of the Triple A, has
outlined in the following message
to farmers the provisions of the
Grant of Aid plan:
“We want you to thoroughly
understand the conditions under
which these materials H'ere ac
quired. There is no material that
can be purchased as a Grant of
Aid from the Agricultural Adjust
ment Administration or on as
signment that will hardly pay for
itself. In other words, we want
you to realize that credit will be
allowed on all materials that are
purchased that will pay a consid
erable amount on the material.

This Information was contain
ed In a letter received here to
day from Senator Bailey to John
R. Prevette, chairman of the
Wilkes committee of the Western
North Carolina Industrial Coun
cil, which has been working dili
gently in the interest of flood
control on the Yadkin.
Senator Bailey said in his let
ter that the flood control bill is
now in the house and that he in
tends to put in the bill the Yad
kin flood control dam when the
report of the War Department en
gineers is out.
Information received here a
few days ago from the Chief of
Engineers was to the effect that
their report would be ready Oc

are interested in the flood con
trol project are hopeful that the
report can be cleared and ready
for congi'essional consideration at
an earlier date.
The letter to Senator Bailey
was in response to a letter to him
by Mr. Prevette stating the urgent
need ot flood control and the de
sire on the part of the people of
North Wilkesboro and other plac

prompt action. He also sent the

centers near army camps.
The campaign here hag made
much progress since Mr. Carpen
ter accepted the chairmanship
last week. It ts expected that the
quota will be raised and forward
ed to state headquarters within
a few days.
However, the organization de
sires that every person interested
have a part and prompt action on
the part of those who wish to
participate is urged.
The drive was climaxed on
Tuesday night with a dinner
meeting and rally held at Hotel

people in attendance.

cooperation and willingness to
help has been splendid.

Two Arrested In
Two Still Raids
J. W. Dula, United States com
missioner in Wilkesboro, has set
bonds during the past week for
two persons charged with violation
of the federal liquor laws.
Fred S. Frazier, of Pores Knob,
was arrested in a still raid by Of
ficers Felts and Whitesides and
was bognd to November court un
der bond of $^00.
On Tuesday bond of $600 was
set for Tom Brown, Traphill neg

raid. Investigators Felts, Reece,
^Ifhiteside and Gilbertson partici

Wheat farmers of Wilkes may
receive government loans on
wheat. Lawrence Miller, Triple A.
secretary for the county, said to
day.
In a letter to be mailed to wheat
growers he explained that farmers
may store wheat and obtain loans
ranging from $1.21 per bushel for
grade 1 down to $1.12 for grade
five. The nearest approved
storage houses, he said, are at
Statesville and Winston-Salem.
Hxplaining the wheat loans, Mr.
Miller ouoted E. Y. Floyd, state
Triple A executive, as follows:
“Eligible producers may secure
loans immediately after thre.shing
if storage is available, and can pay
off the loan and obtain possession
of the wheat anytime prior to
April 30. If on April 30 the price
should be so low that the farmer
does not wish to pay off the loan,
the Otmmodity Credit Corporation
will keep the wheat as full pay
ment for the loan. The charges in
connection with the storage will
amount to aj maximum of 11.4
cents per bushel, if the wheat re
mains as long as seven months but
not more than 12 months.”
Mr. Miller said it was probable
that some Wilkes farmers may
take advantage of the wheat loan.
