Number 3,032 i ALLOTMENTS OF : TAX-FREE TOBACCO ; COUNTY AGENT KIRBY SAYS THESE WILL BE MADE EARLY IN SEPTEMBER FARMERS URGED TO SAVE ALL TIIi;iR HAY POSSIBLE. File Applications For Tax-Freo Allotments. Allotments of tobacco to be sold tax-free under the Kerr- Smith Act will be made early in Sept em be," by the County Con mince. This allotment as al ready announced, is for those people who could not sign to bacco reduction contracts. Applications for allotments may be made at any time during the next ten days or two weeks at the office of the County Agent in Danbury. Growers eligible for consideration in this connec tion are urged to file their ap plications within tiie near future. Marketing Cards Available. Plans for issuing marketing cards are about completed. All applications for cards should be sent to the office within the next week or two. A majority of the growers wishing more than one card each have already filed their applications. Floyd Says: "Tell all tobacco growers to request just as few marketing cards as they can pos sibly make out with. The mar- keting card is issued in the name of the man who signs the con tract as the producer. If a card is lost, it cannot be replaced or duplicated. When the producer signs and receives the card he acknowledges that in case this card is either lost or destroyed that it is understood by him that he will not be given another in its place. The smaller the num ber of cards that one has, the easier it will b? to keep track of them. So advise your growers to get as small a number of cards as they can possibly make out with." Hay Crops.

The earlier the mowing is done, the less difficult the work is. Lespe deza plants grow thickly and the stems are inclined to be hard. It takes a good mowing machine to cut lespedeza hay. Fair weather is important in curing hay, but lespedeza cures more quickly than most hay crops. Most people wait until too la f o to mow soy beans The stems become woody and the leaven shed before it matures seed. The experiences of the best farmers show that a larger quantity of Continued on Page 2.)
