Measurements are now underway throughout the county, the surveyors checking acreages of all three crops as they go, as a rule. The work will continue during the next several week* Preliminary reports from some dis tricts indicate the*tobacco and cotton acreages are in close conformity to the contract provisions, but the peanut plantings are in excess of the base contract^ provisions in numerous case.s The excess peanut acreage, Assistant County Agent M. L. Barnes explained, does not necessarily mean that the farmer has violated or intends to vio late his peanut contract. It is pos sible for him to "hog down" the ex cess, but certain provisions must be carefully met. Any farmer who has an excess peanut acreage, to comply with the contract, must fence off or jstake off that excess. The supervisor or surveyor will measure the entire acreage and point out that portion in excess. The grower then must report the excess to the county agent's of fice with the understanding that the additional acreage over the allotted amount will be "hogged down." Com pliance activities will then await the harvesting season, when the grower will be required to call a supervisor, to make certain that the contract pro-| visions have been complied with in( every detail. No benefit payments will be made to thdse farmers who have an excess until the compliance require ments have been met. The supervisors are scheduled to handle the measurements with the as sistance of the grower only, and farm ers are asked to keep in touch with the surveyors and make arrangements wh^re possible to be at home when the supervisors report. The names of those handling the compliance work and their assigned 'districts are as follows: Jamesville: F. C. Stallings, S. Wal lace Fleming, R. P. Martin, C. A. Askew, Howard Gaylord, C. B.
