Farm Plans Signed By 1,617 Growers A total of 1617 growers of Ma con county will cooperate with the 1940 agricultural conservation pro gram, E. Y. Floyd, AAA execu tive officer of N..-C. State college, announced following receipt of signed farm plans signifying such intention. The Triple-A lists 1850 farms in this county. The "sign-up" for the 1940 pro gram is an increase over the 1363 farmers who earned payments under the 1939 agricultural con servation program. Floyd expressed himself as highly pleased over the participation indicated in this county. Every farmer in the county was given an opportunity, to sign a farm plan, on which he listed the soil building practices he intends to carry out. He received a copy of the farm plan , which showed the type of practices in the pro gram, and how much he could earn from each. The plan also listed the individual grower's allot ments for soil depleting crops, which he must plant within to earn payments. Floyd said that in the. state as a whole, farm plans were signed by 223,104 out of the 236,546 eli gible farmers. This is an approxi mate 94 per cent .'"sign-up and is a decided contrast with the 113,598 farms On which payments were earned in 1939. "A preliminary check of the farm plans shows that more farms will be operated under conserva tion methods than ever before," Floyd declared. "The approved practices, such a? the application of lime and phosphate, seeding le gumes and grasses, the use of cover and green-manure crops, and tree planting will have their great est use in the state this year."

Address CECIL'S, Asheville, N C, or Spartanburg, S. C, in The Old North State's "Clean Up or Close Up" Campaign Twelve months ago the North Carolina beer industry went into action i to commence weeding out those relatively few beer retailers who, by practices unbecoming good citizens, tended to bring reproach on the great law-abiding majority. "Clean Up or Close Up" was the ulti matum issued them and we feel that our action results speak for themselves. To date, 78 beer licenses havte been revoked revoked because 78 beer dealers used their licenses to shield illegal activities. Thus are being removed the bad spots that, left alone, would smear the repu tation of the thousands who operate within the bounds of decency and ethical business conduct. As a new year begins, this committee states anew its determination to carry forward aggressively its now well-established program . .
