The board voted unanimously to! employ Miss Billie Hamilton of I Clinton as the new home agent. She will replace Mrs. Mary Earps, « 1-U -C-+ ~-r i two years. Her resignation becomes j offective on January 1. Miss j Hamilton was recommended by! County Agent A. S. Knowles. The ] motion for approval was made by j D. L. Ganey and seconded by D. i B. Frink. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Hamilton of Clinton and is a graduate of the Univer sity of North Carolina at Greens boro. She served as home agent with the Agricultural Extension Service in Walsenberg and Trin idad counties, Colorado, before ac cepting her new employment Mon day. The board adopted a resolution i urging that highest priority be placed on a 30-mile stretch of US 17 from the intersection of US 74 76 near the Brunswick River Bridge to Supply where it would connect with a section which has been improved within the past few years. “This improvement will elimin ate the present adverse affect on travel and consequently aid the economy not only of Brunswick county but of all Eastern North Carolina as well,” the resolution read. The resolution points out that "a great percentage of the econ omy of Brunswick County is com prised of th tourist industry” and I is tied closely to US 17 as the coastal scenic route. It further reads “that the en joyment of North Carolina citi zens and out of state visitors is dependent on adequate roads and means of travel.” The board cited the approaching opening of the Chesapeake Bay Tunnel-Bridge and the increase in the traffic which will flow onto US 17 after the opening as in creasing the need for improving the highway. It was pointed out that other traffic arteries connecting with the tunnel could attract a larg er percentage of the tourist traffic if US 17 is not improved and the ferry service provided. Action was taken on the resolu tion after Long Beach Town Man ager Dan L. Walker, Long Beach Mayor-Pro-Tem W. W.

Included in the tests were 13 flue cured varieties, six of which were offered for planting for the first time in 1963. to be taken as official recommen dations,” Knowles said. “But we do believe they can serve as a useful guide in helping a farmer to decide whether to stay with a variety that is doing well for him or selecting another variety if he feels a change is needed.” Varieties included in the tests were Hicks Broadleaf, NC 95, Reams 266, Coker 319, Speight G-3, Bell 29, McNair 30, McNair 12, Speight G-10, Coker 187-Hicks, Speight G-19, Speight G-5 and Mc Nair 20. Knowles reminded growers that no new flue-cured tobacco varie ties are expected to be available for 1964 planting. Earlier this year, all flue-cured tobacco breeders, both public and private, and tobacco companies agreed to a plan for releasing new varieties. The plan outlined a set of mini mum standards for future varieties and two years of regional tests for each new breeding line to assure that the minimum standards are met.

The 10 per cent cut is about in line with what farmers expected. The cut was necessary to bring supplies in better balance with de mand, said the department of agriculture. The carryover for the current marketing year was about 10 per cent larger than a year ago. For the six flue-cured tobacco producing states, including Alaba ma, Florida, Georgia, South Caro lina, Virginia and North Carolina, the total. allotment was cut from 710,190 to 639,861 acres. The U. S. Department had until December 1 to announce the 1964 acreage, but took the early action to calm jitters in tobacco-produc ing areas that a bigger cut might be made. The Department had the authority to cut the acreage as much as 22 per cent. Farmers were praised by the De partment for a 1963 crop that was of high quality, but declared that tobacco farmers could not afford to stop here. Tobacco growing areas in other parts of the world are going all-out to try to match the U. S. tobacco quality.
