The reason for this re-shuffle is because about one thousand farmers in this county have not reported any practices carried out on their farms for the year 1948 and since fundg were allot ted to their farms there is a pos sibility hat these, have not been used. The committee feels that they would like -for the Wilkes county farmers to have all of the funds that are allotted ot the county. H. C. Roberts, chairman of the Triple-A, states that some far mers cannot carry out the prac tices on account of labor cpndi tions, health and other causes and will not be able to use con servation materials or other aids while on the other hand "their neighbors will be able to use all the materials that they can get. The main thought in the minds of the County committee is to take the advantage of all assist ance that is offered by the gov ernment. ,Mr. Roberts further explained that this action will not take the funds away from the individual but that they will be placed In a ?pool and disbursed, even back to the same individual if he wants the belp. All farmers are encouraged to make their farm reports prior to September 1 if possible in order to receive the fullest benefits that is offered them.
