The Farming Guide
(By A. S- KNOWLES, County Agent)
Wheat growers will decide on
August 24 whether or not they
want marketing quotas for their
1962 wheat crop.
A. S. Knowles. County Agricul
tural Agent said any farmer who
planted more than 13.5 acres of
wheat in at least one of the
years 1959, 1960. or 1961 is
eligible to vote in the referen
dum. He urged every eligible
farmer to vote. Two-thirds of
these voters must approve before
quotas go into effect.
Important points to consider
are:
The wheat stabilization pro
gram will cut 1962 wheat acre
age allotments by 10 per cent
across the nation. If wheat mar

keting quotas are approved co
operators will be eligible for 1962
wheat price supports expected to
be around $2.00 a bushel. The
present support level is $1.79,
which is 75 per cent parity.
If quotas are not approved,
there will be no limit on market
ings. but support at 50 per cent
of parity would be available to
farmers who comply with their
wheat acreage allotments.
Goal of the new program is to
reduce government stocks of
wheat - now at nearly 114 bil
lion bushels- by 100 million bu
shels. Estimated savings to tax
payers would be $50 million the
first crop year.
Farmers will be voting at local
polling places previously an

Attempts to have a national

unqualified vote of confidence
from the people, or congressional
approval.
I In 1929 the American Nature

won over the columbine. Next in
order were goldenrod, phlox, v'o

At the present time, reports

' resolution favoring the carnation;
j the House one for ' the Shasta
daisy and two resolutions favoring

It can be seen that not very
I much unanimity of opinion pre
: vails and there may be good rea
son for this. The U. S. is a big
! country where the soil and clima

i ried as in any country in the
world. With such a wealth of
plant materials produced under
these varied conditions, it is diffi
cult to settle on a flower that is
| popular, symbolic and steeped in
tradition.
Some seem to think that thb
flower eventually adopted should
| be one which can be produced in
| most sections of the country and
one that will thrive both in-doors
and out-of-doors. If this be the
criterion, perhaps the rose will
win the battle because of its
availability the year around. It
can be grown in the open in most
sections of the country and is one
of our most popular greenhouse
cut flowers.
that there will be a junior and
i senior division for produces. The
purpose of the show and sale,

no less than nine players as his I

pre-season football workouts at
Ruark Field, Monday night (to
night) at 7:30.
Still, no less than 17 letter
winners are expected to be on
hand by the time the Bucaneers ;
get down to real serious work1
for their opening game here, on
Sept. 1. against North Duplin.
Both Quarterbacks Gone
“We lost 9 ball-players” Win
free, a former Lenoir-Rhyne Col
lege athlete, said here over the
weekend, “and all of them will
be missed very much. We lost
both our first and second-string
quarterbacks in Bobby Gore and !
Legwin Williams.
“We have all our other backs
on the returning list. However,
someone will have to take over
in Gore’s place. He was about 95
percent of our 1960 offensive and,
if we can find the boys to do
the job, we should have success.
How much depends on how good
the boys develop.
Strong Backs Otherwise
“We should be strong at half
backs and fullback and if we can
find a quarterback we should be
o. k.”
Lyn Holden, 152 pounder,
Danny St anley, 148, Charles Todd,
151. and Danny Galloway, 147,
all senior's and Junior Steve Love,
142, are the halfbacks on hand
to work for Winfree and Co.,
with Holden and Stanley expect
sd to be the stickouts. Junior
H ward Benton, 182 and Linwood
Lancaster, 161, are the fullbacks
o.i whom he’ll depend. Benton
was vastly improved at the close
if the 1960 schedule.
May Be Answer
Bobby Hubbard, a junior who
1 asses and kicks both left and
light, and weighs 186, could be
Winfree’s answer to the quarter
back question, but Danny Stan
l y, also Mike Stanley, 152 senior
who played guard last year, and
< hers may work at the post,
also.
Royce Hewett, 145 senior, .is
the only returning letter end, and
is fine on offense.
'Right now,” a bit of sarcasm
crept into Winfree's voice, ‘‘all
we need is two ends, one guard,
and two quarterbacks—and”, he
added—-“no more rain and two
centers and we should have a
fair ball club.”
They’re Not Back
What the Buc coach meant was
that he lost not only Gore, twice
All-Waccamaw AA star and Wil
liams at quarterback, but he
also lost Woody Goley, a fine
center for three years; Larry
