This i s about 82 per cent, of the total amount due = , Stokes farmers. This money -is t coming in a t a time when the farmers need it most. Many : ' icra are using it to pay for ■hin ;;iztr and other supplies produce their crop this ; year. In many cases the checks I that the farmers are receiving are 1 . equal to a large portion of what they received for their whole r crop. This is especially true of 1 the farmers living in the drought ' sections of the county. I Non-Signers Are Becoming ( Interested. 1 j Since we started delivering the ' I checks to the farmers who CO-OD )I erated with the 1936 program, thp farmers who did not sign up ® ' I last year are becoming very i much interested in signing up fo r the 1937 program. A large 1 number have already signed worksheets and others are com ing in every day to sign up. They have realized that by not cr> rsjvr-:i;j3 with the y o;ram in l£).'!ij that they have lost mon ey.
