ing with a light break and
with general satisfaction ex

Dan Currin welcomed the far
mers and expressed hope for

available at the time this
paper went to press, but the

some good tobacco was sold
in untied form, much inferior
tobacco was offered by far
mers experienced with the
new sales form on the North
Carolina markets. There wasj
also a price differential of 6c
a pound on the untied to
bacco.
No price support is being;
offered for tied tobacco dur- ]
ing the first five days of tne
market when untied tobacco
is being sold on an experi
mental basis, but the untied j
piles have government' sup
port. After the first five days
of sale only tied tobacco will
be offered on the local mar
ket and this will then be sup
ported by the government.
While little untied tobacco
was offered on the opening
date of the market and even
less is expected at future sales,
the handling of this type to
bacco seemingly offered no dif
ficulty to buyers or to ware
housemen. Judging from re
marks of farmers on the open
ing day of sales here, the inno
vation is lot popular.

A Correction
In an advt. on page 6 an
nouncing dances at the Wise
school it was inadvertently
stated that the dances would
be held every Friday night.
It should have read "every
Saturday night." Dancers
please take notice.
Mrs. M. H Hayes of Wise
spent several days last week
in Richmond, Va., as the guest
of Mrs. H. D. Jordan, who re
turned with her for a visit.
House guests of Dr. and Mrs.
Rufus Jones are Mr. and Mrs.

In Some Cases
Cotton Allotment
May Be Protected
ASCS regulations permit in
some casea the retention of al
lotted acreage of cotton In
cases where the farmer did not
nlant 75 per cent of the farm
allotment
According to W. S. Smiley,
chairman of the Agricultural
Stabilisation and Conservation
County Committee, this is per
missible when failure to plant
at least 78 per cent of the al
lotment in 1MB was due to
certain conditions beyond the
control of the producer on the
farm.
Smiley cautioned farmer*
that where failure to plant suf
ficient acreage in IMS was be
yond the control at the pro
ducer, he most file a written
application for retention of
this acreage by net later than
M:
ti Qm
made planting impossible.
Acceptable conditions undef
which prevented planting will
be considered due to condi
tions beyond the control of the
fanner include excessive rain,
flood, hail or drought or ill
ness of the farm operator 01
any other producer on the
farm.
Where the farm operaton
makes application on or b?
fore September 15 and sub
mits adequate proof to the
ASC county committee, the
1903 base acreage for tlu
farm could be maintained
by the committee without re
daction, Smiley said. How
ever, he added, where this fa
not done and the fanner failed
to plant at least 75 per cent
of the farm allotment, the
