Farmers Urged To Release Acreage With March 5 the deadline for releasing cotton acreage, War ren County farmers have only a few more days to make their decision on cotton for 1965, T. E. Watson, ASCS office man ager, pointed out yesterday. "The decision to be made, Watson said, "is whether you intend planting your cotton in 1965. If you are not going to plant all or any of the allot ment, the acreage not to be planted should be released to the county committee. In this way you protect your allotment, you protect the county allot ment, and at the same time the released acreages can be re apportioned to other producers who desire more cotton for 1965." Committeemen, vendors, re preservatives of agricultural agencies and farm organiza tions, ginners, buyers and business men are all urged to assist in getting farmers who will not plant cotton to release it by the deadline. Watson said that by doing this everyone ben efits. The farmer releasing his acreage protects his fu ture farm allotments and the county allotment. The released acreage can beplantedbyfarm ers desiring more cotton and they benefit. The ginners, buy ers and other business men ben efit be having the acreage planted because it means more business for them. "So let's all get busy for the lext two weeks and see that no farmer fails to release cotton that will not be planted in 1965,' Watson said. Arson Is Suspected In Old Church Fire The Warren County Sheriff's Department continues an Inves tigation of a fire at the old Coley Springs Baptist Church at A/ton around 7 o'clock on Saturday. Sheriff Jim Hundley said yes terday that there is a strong indication of arson. When members of the War renton and Afton-Elberon Rural Fire Departments responded to the alarm they found that the fire had been started on a stoop at the back door of the church building and gasoline was on the back stoop. They called the Sheriff's Department. Sheriff Hundley said that when he went to the scene Saturday night traces of gasoline were seen on the stoop and the next morning an odor of gasoline was clearly dlscernable. The flames burnt the door and spread into the building, causing damages estimated at two or three hundred dollars. The building was covered by $10,003 worth of insurance, Hundley said.
