Applications For Marketing Cards. Growers should file their appli- cations for marketing cards right away. Where only one card is desired under a contract it is not necessary to make an application: but where more than one person is to sell tobacco under a single c contract, the signing producer should send in his application * stating how many cards he de sires and the names of the per- ' sons to whom these should be * issued. Of course, no card can be is- 1 jsued until the farm has been f ■surveyed and certified as meeting all the compliance requirements 1 under the contract; however, if the application for cards is sent 2 in now the cards can be prepared 1 before the growers call at the office for them. ] In making applications for cards the signing producer under . the contract should sign his own . name and give his contract num- , ber, he should give the name of each man for whom the card is ( to be made and either the portion of the crop to be marketed by ( each man or better the number of pounds each is to sell. 1 No Duplicate Marketing Cards. It will be necessary for the grower to come to the office to sign a receipt for his marketing cards as he did when he received his rental check. Growers will bo notified when to come to the office to sign for these cards. ' .*"> duplicate marketing cards c v"' V "Tsaci.

Mr. Editor, it seems like some one is not getting milk enough to drink and has took their spite out on beer, slot machines and punch boards. I think a man does well to invest a nickel in a machine and get $2.45 interest. All these things were put here for a purpose and let's use them. Some men gets drunk and kicks the stove over because it's got sut in the pipe and some people plays with a punch board be cause they have no children 10 play with. Some drink beer be cause their cow is dry. It looks better t 0 see a man tite on beer than to see a gir] drunk on lick er. TANGLE FOOT. NOTICE Having quaaiified as Executors of the estate of W. T.
