Packing Berries Near Southport First Day Of Blueberry Har vest Monday, With Good Yield In Prospect This Season The blueberry harvest at Southport grot underway Mon day. T. P. Key, owner of the Key Farm, stated he could have started to picking Friday but j hesitated owing to the large; amount of partially ripe berries. In order to fill up pickers some-1 times have a habit of trying to slip in too many of these not completely ripe berries. The crop, despite fears that were felt directly after the first of April freeze, is a very good | one. The berries are of excellent1 quality, and with the crop here coming on at a time when it will not conflict with harvesting, in other sections, the price is ■ expected to be good. The cold got a small acreage of early blooming bushes that were in flower at the time of the last freeze. This is not ex pected to decrease the total yield this year. A normal production is practically assured through heavy blooming an u a good growing season for the fruit from the bushes that bloomed after the cold spell. As usual a large number of pickers and packers, mostly women, are beginning to find employment at the harvesting. The work will last for several weeks. Allotment Crop Notices Due Farmers Will Have Oppor tunity To Request Re measurement If He Thinks Mistake Has Been Made ! Within a few days the farmers will begin receiving notices of their measured acreage of their allotment crops. Any farmer who thinks his ! acreage has been incorrectly de termined may, within 7 days af ter the date of the notice of measured acreage request re measurement. Any farmer mak ing a request for remeasurement ! must deposit with the ASC coun ty office the estimated cost of remeasuring his acreage. Any producer who is excess of their allotment will be sent a notice of excess acreage and if he wishes to have his allotment acreage remeasured or make dis position of the excess acreage, he must file his intentions to do so at the County Office within 7 days from the date of the ex cess notice. At the time the ! farmer makes his request for! disposition, he must deposit with j the ASC County Office the esti mated cost of checking the dis position of the excess acreage. Special attention is called to the 7-day limitation. Form CSS 595-Tobaceo (North Carolina) j gives any producer on the farm J seven days from the date of . mailing of the notice in which to i file a written request to dispose of the excess acreage or for a remeasurement of the acreage. If no written request is filed for a remeasurement or to dispose of excess acreage within the seven day period, a “zero percent” ex cess marketing card shall be I issued for the farm even though all excess tobacco is disposed of, I for marketing quota purposes, prior to marketing any tobacco from the farm.
