Jack Hickman, a fireman at the nearby U. S.

Price added that “Brunswick County farmers have an oppor tunity in 1962 for making better use of the Agricultural Conserva tion Program than ever before. “With a continued need to shift production of some acreage of soil depleting crops, farmers can take advantage of the ACP in the seeding of grasses and le gumes.
