Hutson To Speak in Winston Friday—Stokes Invited Mr. J. B. Hutson, Assistant AAA Administrator, Washington, D. C., will discuss the 1939 pro gram and compulsory control through marketing quotas at the Reynolds Auditorium, Winston- Salem, N. C., on Friday, Novem ber 20, at 2 p. m. Every Stokes county farmer is cordially invited to attend the meeting and hear, Mr. Hutson outline the details of the program. Stokes county tobacco growers, will have the opportunity on De-j cembe* 10 to express their wishes '! for or against flue-cured tobacco! marketing quotas on the 1939 pro-1 gram. Under the Agricultural Ad- j justment Act of 1938, Congress j provided for the setting up of the j compulsory marketing quotas on I flue-cured tobacco in 1939 subject I to approval of at least two-thirds | i of the tobacco growers voting in l the referendum. In the referen dum held last March 12, approxi mately 86 per cent, of the tobac co growers favored quotas so they were enacted this year. If mar keting quotas are effective in 1939 it will depend upon at least two thirds of the grower a voting in the referendum on December 10 favoring quotas. Before a tobacco grower is ask ed to go to the polls to vote for, or against, marketing quotas for next year, he will know what his i 1939 marketing quota and acre f age allotment is. Each Stokes j county farmer will receive a] notice of his acreage allotment [ and quota through the mail. i J. F. BROWN, County Agent. Wheat Adjustment Program For 1938-39 Due to the present situation in respect to the price of wheat, I acreage allotments under the Ag-! ricultural Conservation Program | have been set up for each farm' 1 selling 100 bushels or more of i [wheat. Such farmers may receive ' payments for reducing wheat ' acreage this year. An usual wheat ! acreage for other farmers grow ing an average of 8 acres or more j in the past three years has been! established by the county com mittee. Such usual acreage is the farm's normal acreage of wheat and if exceeded this year the Soil Conservation payments will be penalized. Payments to farms growing eight acres or less will not be penalized unless more than eight acres of wheat are grown. It is fully realized by the county committee that Stokes county is not a wheat growing county, and there is no intention to penalize a farmer for growing hi fl home supplies. The above does not apply to other small grain such a 9 oats, rye, and bar ley. J. F. BROWN, County Agei t. PINNACLE HIGH !
