AAA District Meet Held In Wilkesbere Representatives from .Yadkin, Surry, Alexander, Caldwell and Wilkes county attended a AAA meeting at the Community House in Wilkesboro on Tuesday, May 10. N. L. Wilson, state office official, was in charge and gave further instructions regarding possible wheat marketing quotas. The probability of haying marketing quotas on wheat, which is the reason for the surrey of past acreages, is due to the increasing amount of carryover, plus increasing acreage and yields per acre. "The carryover is what is increasing in spite of the large amount of wheat we have been exporting, and it is not considered likely that we shall in the future export as much as we have in the past few years. The law requires the Secretary of Agriculture to declare marketing quotas when the total supply of wheat is larger than the reserve supply level. This information should be available in order that farmers may know why the survey has been made," Mrs. Maude S. Miller, AAA secretary, said. o Hospital Births During the past week the following births were reported at the Wilkes hospital: daughter, Linda Jeanette, May 5 to Mr. and Mrs.William -Walter Oant, of 'North Wilkesboro; son, Dennie Michael, May 5, to Mr. and Mrs. James Lee Ward, of North Wilkesboro route two; daughter, Nellie Gyleen, May 6, to Mr. and Mrs. Guy D.
