Balloting Deadline Listed
Annual ASC Election
Plans Are Announced
Preparations are under way
for the approaching annual ASC
community election, Lynn S.
Carr, ASCS county executive
director, announced this week.
According to Carr, a list of
names of all known persons who
are eligible to receive nominating
petitions and ballots is available
in the county ASCS office.
"Farmers in the Fishing Creek,
Fork, Sandy Creek and Shocco
communities will begin nominat
ing candidates for the ASC elec
tion on Oct. 5," he said.
Nominating petitions have
been mailed to eligible farmers
and certain information is re
quired to ensure acceptance of
the forms. Only resident farmers
may be nominated. "Eligible
voters who receive nominating
petitions are asked to complete
the form carefully and include
the name of one resident-farmer
nominee, the signatures of at
least three eligible voters who
support the nominee, and cer
tification that the nominee is will
ing to serve, if elected," Carr
said.
Completed petitions should be
dated and mailed (or hand
delivered) to the county ASCS of
fice no later than October 30.
According to Carr, valid nomi
nations will be placed on the
ballot for the election beginning
Nov. 24 and continuing through
Dec. 4.
"No person can be denied the
right to vote because of race, sex,
age, color, religion, handicap or
national origin," Carr said. He
also outlined eligibility require
ments for making nominations
and voting in the farmer commit
tee elections: (1) legal voting
age, with an interest in a farm as
owner, operator, tenant or share
cropper eligible to participate in
any ASCS program; and (2) for
wives who operate farms with
their husbands, listing on the
deed of conveyance. " In addi
tion, any person under legal
voting age may vote, if he or she
runs a farm, and a legal guardian
who runs a farm for a child may
vote for that child," Carr added.
Individuals may make nomina
tions and vote in any county in
which they are eligible ASCS
voters, but they may not vote in
more than one community. "If an
eligible voter has separate farm
interests in more than one com
munity in the same county,
special care will be taken to en
sure that only one ballot is
issued," Carr said.

Agriculturally
Speaking
By RUSSELL C. KING
County Extension Director
R-9-P Is Outstanding Tool
Stalk and root destruction of flue-cured tobacco (R-9-P) has become
a widely accepted and practiced management tool and it is no wonder
why. For the time, effort and expense of stalk and root destruction,
the benefits?reduced disease, weed and insect pests for the follow
ing year, as well as a healthier crop?make it an outstanding tool for
tobacco growers.
Timely stalk and root destruction work well in combination with
the use of crop rotation and resistant varieties to help hold chemical
costs low and reduce the risks of disease the following year.
Destroying stalks and roots as soon as possible helps control
diseases the following year in two ways. First of all, the sooner the
stalks and roots are destroyed, the fewer the generations of
nematodes and other pests to develop this year will be. Each new
generation increases the field population by tens, hundreds or
thousands of times. ,
The second way early destruction helps is that it allows more time
for the decay of the stalks and roots before transplanting-time next
year. Therefore, timing is critical.
Make plans now to destroy your stalks as soon as ASCS regulations
have been met.
