CARDS MUST BE RETURNED Tobacco and peanut farmers are required by program regulations to return their marketing cards to the local ASC county office at the close of the marketing season. W. S. Smiley, chairman of the ASC County Committee, predicts that again this year i many farmers will neglect to return their marketing card and will have their 1961 allot ment reduced because of their neglect. Last year, according to Smiley, several producers in the State had their 1960 allotment reduced for failure to return marketing cards and other violations. These few farmers, he said, compared with the 137,350 tobacco and peanut farmers in the state, represent a very small percentage. However, failure to return these cards definitely hurts the farmers whose allotments are reduced and it also slows up the work in the ASC county office considerably. Smiley says that regulations provide that the producer must return each tobacco or peanut marketing card Issued for the farm to the county office within thirty days after the close of the markets in the general locality. Many farmers, he said, put off returning their tobacco and peanut marketing cards until it is too late. If all farmers return their i marketing cards as soon as I they finish selling their 1960 crop, they will greatly facilitate the administration of a program that means much to them. If farmers do not re- 1 turn their marketing cards | promptly, they take a chance j 01 losing vuat acreage Decause Of their own carelessness. Smiley said. Cawthorne Rites Held On Tuesday Funeral services for Miss Mary Howard Cawthorne, 72, who died on Monday, were conducted at Emmanuel Episcopal Church here Tuesday at 2 p. m. with Interment in Fairview Cemetery.
