The sign-up campaign under; the new Soil Conservation Pi o-' gram has got off to a good stau in several townships in the county. Twenty-Five per cent, or more of the farmers in a majori ty of the townships signed up at the preliminary meetings. The statement that "It is too late to do anything about the Compact this year" has been misunderstood. The Compact and, the Soil Conservation Act are two entirely separate and dis tinct things. We are working un der the Federal Soil Conservation Act and it is through this Act that farmers will get the pay ments for reducing tobacco acre age and putting in Soil Con serving and soil building crops as well as improved farm prac tices. Under this program a farmer who has a 10.0 acre tobacco bas? under the old 1936-39 contract and plants 7.0 acres thus reduc ing to seventy per cent, will re ceive as his first payment from S9O 00 to $135.00 and in addi tion will get paid for the extra , soil conserving and soil building I crops planted on his farm this i year. Should this man with the 110.0 acre base decide to reducf only 9.5 acres, he would get his first payment at least $15.00 for making a \> acre reduction in his tobacco acreage and any other payments due. The pay ments under this program are liberal and Stokes farmers can not well afford to pass this up. This program as it relates tt tobacco refers only to the acre age except that the pounds al | lotted are used in determining I the rate of pay which will be a! lowed for the tobacco taken out of cultivation. Meetings are to be held at an °arly date in the different town ships of the county for the pur oose of advising (farmers a s t what payments and benefits they may expect individually un der this program. These meetings will be advertised by letters. Any farmer who wishes to do so can come into the office and make out his work sheet. To cooperate in this program it is necessary to first make out a work sheet. The farmer who has a 5.0 acre tobacco base makes out his work sheet now and intends to plant 3.5, reducing to seventy per cent., may find this summer when his farm is checked for compliance that instead of plant ing 3.5 he planted 4.0. This farmer will not be asked to de stroy any tobacco, but his farn: will be certified for payment on the on« acre which he has taken out of cultivation, provided he has planted the .soil conserving crops required under this pro gram. If he had planted 4.5 acres, then he would at least get paid for taking one-half an acre FILING TIME ENDS SATURDAY (»(K)l> MANY CANDID VI I> HAM: KNTKKKD IIIKIK N'AMKS TO KIN IN lift. •JI NK PRIMARY K\PK(T--KD -KD THAT OTHKKS VUIX FII.K.

For Whom Will You Vote / Since there seems to exist a general sentiment towards vot ing, why not cast a vote in the Baby popularity contest? This contest is being sponsored by Lawsonville school.

Stokes farmers would certainly get more for seventy per cent, of a crop than could be expected where the full base acreage is planted. I More than ninety per cent, of the tobacco growers in one of the adjoining counties has already made out work sheets and it is believed that such a program as is now offer ed that Stokes farmers will co operate just as fully and as • faithfully as those in any aur- 1 rounding county.
