Cotton Growers
Urged To Turn
In Unwanted Crop
Warren County cotton growirs
are urged by Walter S.
Imiley to protect their cotton
listory allotment.
The chairman of the Warren
'ountv ASC committee said
esterdav that the preservation
?f this attlotmejit is an im
jortant question which every
armor should ask himself
vithin the next few weeks.
Farm cotton allotments will
>o reduced where the farmer
ails to plant at least 75 per
ent of his allotment or where
le fails to release his allotnent
to the county committee,
imiley said. For farmers who
dan to plant their allotment
10 action is needed.
Smiley said that where the
armer knows that he will not
?lant 75 per cent of his allotaent.
he can help himself and
he same time help other
armer.s in the county by reeasing
this allotment for reap(ointment.
If the cotton allotnent
is released to the county
ommittee. this preserves not
inlv the individual farmer's
danting history, but the plantng
history of the county and
tate. This prevents loss of alotment
to individual counties
iiu u? me Mate ot i\ortn Caro.na.
Smiley urges farmers who
now now that their allotment
nil not be planted, to visit
aeir local ASC office and pre-J
?rve their history by releasing
leir allotment for use by other
irmers within the county.1

aunty committee in Warren!

ie week of February 29

for a Warren County boy for
one quarter of his college education
has already been approved
by the directors, and additional
funds will he granted if
money , in. the funds become
available
Warlick. who instigated the
movement to form the Foundation.
said that this hnv had
already, through considerabde
sacrifice, completed all but
three quarters of his college
education. With a little additional
help he will be able to
graduate, he said.
Warlick explained that while
funds could be handled for
other purposes by the Foundation.
if requested and earmarked
for that purpose, the
prime purpose of the Foundation
is to lend money from a
revolving fund to Warren County
boys and girls in order that
they may complete their col
lege education.
The effectiveness of the organization,
will depend upon
the amount of donations that
the Foundation receives from
any persons interesting in seeing
that Warren County boys
and girls are permitted to attend
college.
Scholarships are important
and they help with the education
of a number of our boys
and girls. Warlick said, but
added that most of them are
too small to provide a great
deal of help This means that
boys and girls must borrow
funds for their education.
Money borrowed by prospective
students will be repaid with
interest, and as it is repaid
and the fund grows it will be
lent to other students.
Any person interested in
making a donation to the
Foundation are asked to mail
checks to Sam A Warlick, secretary-treasurer,
Warren Education
Foundation, Box 210,
Warrenton, N. C. For further
information, persons are asked
