JOHN EDWARD STEELY, Associate Professor of Historical Theology at the Southeastern Baptist Seminary at Wake Forest, who will speak Church on Sunday morning at 11 o'clock. Local Farmers Asked To Protect Cotton Quotas Do you desire to maintain your cotton history allotment? This, according to W. S. Smiley. Chairman for the Agri cultural Stabilization and Con scrvation County Committee, is an important question which every farmer should ask him self within the next few weeks Farm cotton allotments will be reduced where the farmer fails to plant at least 75 per cent of his allotment or where he fails to release his allot ment to the ASC County Com mittee. Smiley Said. For farm ers who plan to plant their al lotment, no action is needed However, where the farmer knows that he will not plant 75% of his allotment, he can help himself and at the same the county by releasing this allotment for reapportionment. If the cotton allotment is released to the county commit tee. this preserves not oniy the individual farmer's planting history, but the planting history of the county and the state. This prevents loss of allotment to individual counties and to the State of North Carolina. Smiley urged farmers who know now their allotment will not be planted, to visit their local ASC Office and preserve their history by releasing their allotment for use by other farmers within the county. Deadline date for acceptance of this released acreage by the county committee in Warren County is April 5, however, the week of February 20-24 has I been set aside for the county Abu utiices to accept release of acreage. If a farmer cannot release during this week, he should visit his ASC Office immediately. Daniel, Andrews Attend Convention Stephen A. Daniel and Joe H.
