April 21 Last Day to File For More Cotton Acreage New cotton legislation recently | passed by Congress provides for minimum 1950 acreage allotments based on one of three provisions Russell Powell, Chairman of the Wake County PMA Committee, said last week. The revised allotments are bas ed on the larger of (1) 65% of the average acreage planted to cotton (or devoted to war crops in place of cotton) as adjusted to come within BAE figures, in 1946, 1947 and 1948; (2) 45% of the highest planted cotton (or devoted to war crops in place of cotton) on the farm during any one of the three years, 1946, 1947 and 1948; Zebulon Bjy Scouts Will Meet Tonight The Zebulon Boy Scouts will meet tonight in the Scout Hut. Scoutmaster Gordon Temple urged every boy eleven years and over to attend the meetings, get an ap plication blank, and join the troop immediately to be eligible for the extensive camping planned for the summer. The re-organized Boy Scout Troop is taking in boys who have not passed their Tenderfoot re quirements. These boys will be registered as candidates, and may f pass the Tenderfoot examination after registering. The newly appointed Scoutmast er gave an optimistic report on the progress of the Troop to date. He estimated that within a month the membership rolls would in clude over 50 Scouts, which will make the troop the largest in the history of this community.

The film demonstrated the correct method of moving beef cattle as w -?11 as the wrong way. Scenes from slaughter houses showed the tremendous amount of waste caused by bruises on the cattle. Each piece of bruised meat must be cut out and this lowers the value of the meat up to one-third. The Rotary Quartet composed of ; But (3) not more than 40 per ; cent of the 1949 acreage which was tilled on the farm or in regular rotation as crop land. Any owner or operator of a cot ton farm in Wake County who be lieves he is entitled to an acreage increase and wants to be consid ered by the county committee for possible allotment adjustment un ■ der the legislation must file an application not later than April 21, 1950. “We urge owners or operators who want their farms considered for revised allotments to file ap plication by this date,” Powell said. “Farmers who are satisfied with their present allotments need not file applications. However, those : desiring increases will be consid j ered by the county committee after j applications for such increases are : filed in the county office.” Each operator of a farm for which an application is filled will | receive a notice from the county ! committee of the revised 1950 cot | ton acreage allotment.
