Tobacco Contracts Declared In Effect I The tobacco adjustment con- tracts signed last winter by flue-' cured tobacco growers have been extended into 1935, with certain changes, E. Y. Floyd, of State; College, announced this week. ' i As a result of the 1934 adjust ment program, Floyd said, the ' surplus of flue-cured tobacco has been eliminated and the carry over is slightly below normal. Consequently, the allotments in 1935 will be a little larger than last year. The growers will be given the ' privilege of producing either 85 ' or 90 per cent of their base acre age and production. But grower* who produce 90 per cent will get only one half as much in rental payments as those who produce only 85 per cent., Floyd added. The 15 per cent, reduction scheduled for 1935 is only one half as much as the reduction lasr year, he continued, and the rent al and adjustment payments will he scaled down to one half tho previous - amount. However, the rentals will con tinue at the rate of 51T.50 an acre on the land retired from t -»• bacco cultivation. The- adjust ment payment? will be G 1 1 per cent, of the net sale vi i l . l of the 1935 crop. The deficiency pay ments will be at the rate of one cent a pound on the amount by which a grower fail 3 to produce his allotment. The rental payments will be made after compliance with con tract is cheeked, Floyd said. Last year they were made short ly after the contracts were sign ed. For growers with a base of lor than four acres, the rate of the adjustment payment will be in creased, in accordance with the terms of the contracts, to a mnx ium of 12'o per cent. o r the vaue of the 1935 crop, Floyd said.

Number 3,051 CHRISTMAS COURT ON DAN RIVER JUSTICE AND CHITTKRLIXGS. ADMINISTERED BY A HILL BILLIE TRIBUNAL SITTING AT THK POWER DAM. Christmas passed uneventfully everywhere in the county except at the Power Dam on Dan river, where a crude but highly effi cient mill of justice ground steadily (on Christmas night. The occasion was a chitterling party. Have you ever eaten chitter lings? They say that those who can relish and digest these by products of pork, can even eat , possum. Well, the revelries ran high in the night. The Dan song merrily to the accompaniment of chitter lings sputtering in the oven. Then there was laughter and song an J wassail, a ail wild whoopee, while the banjo talked n:\l the fiddle, oh, h «• it cried. Tiiero wore two -ffvn r lers to try. ami the court set up vi.h Light li'om, jiul.-e: Dave Tuttle, solicitor, and Joe Redman, Sheriff. . Constituting the jury as well as , interested spectators were Ed Ray, Martin Luther Mitchell, Lindsay Dlackburn, Henry Dun . lap, Jim Flinchum, Floyd McGee .. and olhers. John Lewis was chief cook , rtnd master of ceremonies in general. The defendants were arraigned, charged with consuming an un lawful amount of susar-head I against the peace and dignity of Ziffy Island. The question of the nature and . effect of "Sugar-head" %vas dis , cussed. The Solicitor, who was . full of his subject, arose to state his views. I He took a scriptural text from , which he soon waxed eloquent. . While gesticulating wildly he lost his balance and running back , ward to recover his equilibrium, fell splash into the river. The Judge ordered the Sheriff to summon a posse and go to the . rescue. , This was done with poles and rot-hooks, and the dripping , Solicitor went ahead with his argument. The question was how to de fine "drunkenness." How much , can a man consume, and what is his state and condition to be pronounced drunk. The matter was left to His Honor who ruled that to lie pros -1 trate on the ground unable to j rise and drink siomc more, but to be feeling upward for the ground, should constitute the offense in the meannig of the law. While the judge was expatiat ing on the intricacies of the statute on jags, he discovered to his horror that the jury and most of the audience were asleep, j | Court was then adjourned sine *.e. e Christmas Wedding ) Ralph B. Gordon and Angeline e Haley were married here Wed y nesday night by P. C. Campbell, :• J. P. They motored up from Winston-Salem, their home.
