This program resulted In over production. The new program limits production by acreage allotments and marketing by specific quotas spelled out in pounds. The acreage - poundage plan, acclaimed by the Agri culture Department as a sue cess, was rejected earlier in the year by growers of bur ley-type tobacco voting In a referendum. Approval of the program gives an acreage allotment next year of 607,605 acres, about the same as this year. The marketing quotas will total 1,126,5 million pounds, essentially the same as the quota In effect the past three years.

Board Adopts $1.97 Rate Industrial Commission Cut Restored By Commissioners The tentative budget ol War ren County became the official 1967-68 budget on last Thurs day afternoon when the com missioners gave it their ap proval. The budget calls for a tax rate of $1.97, the same as submitted in the tentative bud get. Expenditures are based on 90 per cent collections on a valuation of $23,000,000. Two changes were made In the budget before Its adop-? tion. Two cents, previously cut out of the budget for the Industrial commission, were restored, and funds for re valuation were reduced by 2<f, leaving theover-allbudget un changed. Restoration of the 2? for the industrial commission came after a delegation appeared before the board asking that the cut be restored. Among this delegation were Selby G. Benton, W. Monroe Gardner, Jimmy Medlln, John R. Ed wards, Julius Banzet, III, P. B. Boyd, Clyde Rodwell, Gen eral Claude Bowers and Mayor Dennis Rose of Littleton. Monroe Gardner, chairman of the Industrial commission, was the chief spokesman for the group. He pointed out that citizens of the county had vot ed In favor of a 5? levy for industrial purposes, and that every cent of such a levy Is needed for the work of the commission. He pointed out that the program Is a long range program and that two new Industries had been brought to the county as a re sult of the work of the com mission. He said that to leave the cut in would kill the pro gram. Selby Benton, president of Bute Development Company, discussed the work of the com mission and pointed out In vestments made by surround ing counties for Industrial purposes and the salaries of industrial engineers In other counties. Gen. Bowers, after review ing the cost of obtaining the Sportswear Factory here be fore the levy was made, and pointing out the work of In dividuals, said that his only criticism of the levy was that It was not for 10$ Instead of five. R takes a lot of money to conduct a success ful industrial program, he said. P. B. Boyd, president of the Citizens Bank, said that while he could add but little to the remarks of other speakers, that he believed that the two cents cut should be restored.

Farm, located be tween Warren ton and Macon, is In limited production with hybrid corn being grown for research purposes. In addition to the corn, some hay is being grown for a beef cattle farm that Dr. T. E. Powell, owner of the company, will maintain largely as a hobby. Hybrid corn is being grown on the old Buddy Harris farm across the road from the old T. E. Powell farm. This week farm superintendent Travis Pulley and a crew of helpers have been busy hand pollinat ing a field of corn. Bags are slipped over the tassels to col lect pollen which is deposit ed by hand on the tip of the ear on the same stalk, and then covered with a bag. It is a slow operation, but anecessaryone in breeding of corn. Pulley said that the field of corn was being bred to pro duce albino corn which will be used in schools and colleges for experimental purposes. To avoid any errors that may oc cur In the fields, Pulley said, each year would be checked in the farm's laboratory becore being planted for a crop of albino corn, which has a white stalk and a white ear. Considerable work has been done on the large operation which began here In early spring. Tuesday a score of carpenters were working on the farm's laboratory, located a short distance from the old Powell borne which will later be renovated. A number of other buildings on the farm are la process of renovation. A number of fields have been cleared and roads cot, with a large amount of fmcta'- being constructed and farm ponds built. IB hla explanation of the work at the research farm and laboratory, released to the press earlier in the year, Dr. Powell MM; ?m order to to the tallest extent 26 strains of corn, soybeans, It has become nec essary to provide certain fa cilities. These Include irriga tion ponds and isolated fields placed relatively close to these reservoirs. This ar rangement permits the sev eral plant forms to be groym In isolation and to be conven iently hand-pollinated Infields that are close enough to the water storage to provide the necessary irrigation. "In essence, our application and our farming operations will be similar to those of any well operated farm in the local vicinity. There will be certain differences. We will not depend on cotton and to bacco as staple products In our operation. We will grow a greater variety of plant crops than the average farm, but essentially we will operate a test or experimental farm under close scientific man agement." The farm in Warren County Is a part of a company that serves the nation and much of the world with biological sup plies, and is not only expect ed to provide employment for a number of Warren County citizens but Is expected to at tract scientists from all over the world who will from time to time visit the local farm.
