The Board of Town Commisjners

Not only citizens of the town,
it other sections as well, have felt

turned thumbs down on this

that employees of the town

The discussion that preceded the

Discuss Program To Be
; Offered In 1938
" TO BEGIN CROP CHEC1
1 By R. H. BRIGHT
j The Farm Bureau is sponsorin
. a series of meetings in this stat
- for the purpose of explaining th
1 1938 farm program. Their repre
J sentative will be at Warrenton o
1 Monday, July 12, and will hold
: public meeting in the court hous
at 8 o'clock in the evening. A
persons interested in farming ai
5 urged to attend this meeting an
get some idea of the program ths
- will be offered the farmers in 193:
- We plan to start compliance i
7 the near future and farmers shoul
be sure to have their soil conservin
- crops in at the time the supervisoi
visit their farms. The farmei
- should also have in mind the nun:
t ber of acres of different crops th?
i he has planted on ftis farm. K
i and the supervisor will make a
1 estimate and if he has more tha
i? 60 per cent of his tobacco base an
s 52 per cent of his cotton base acr<
5 age planted it will be necessary t
- measure in case he does not ha\
this percentage the acreage may t
i estimated. There is a big diffei
* ence in the cost of measuring an
t estimating and the farmer shou]
f give some thought to this problei
r before the supervisor visits h
farm. I suggest that each farnu
jot down the acreage of each crc
he has planted and have his est:
| mate ready for the supervisor.
In all cases tenants must be show
and the acreage they are tendir
" in the various crops. In case tt
f landlord and the tenant canni
agree on the payments they mu:
^ take the matter up with the counl
' committee and not the supervisor
3 The duty of the supervisor is to r<
'? port the crops and the produce:
s j exactly as they are.

some of the other counties did not
fill their quotas. The applications
must be received at once, he said.
