Wheat farmers are now plaoing their acreage in the 1957 reserve pro gram because of the fact that wheat planted for harvest next year is seeded this fall. The fi nal date for sign up for wheat farmers has been extended from Sept. 21 to October 5, 1956. The payment rate for 1957 wheat will be the same it was this year $1.33 a bushel, Haw kins said. Payment will be made on the normal yield for the re serve acreage. Payment will be in the form of negotiable certifi cates which may be redeemed for cash through regular banking channels or they may be exchang ed for grain. The certificates will be issued after the County ASC Committee has determined that the indicated wheat acreage re duction has been made and tha,t all other allotments for 1957 have been complied with. Land placed in the Acreage Re serve must not be cropped or grazed during the period of the Soil Bank Agreement; land des ignated must have previuosly been used for the production of wheat; the spread of noxious weeds must be controlled on the land, and the ASC Committee will not permit the designation of irregular sized tracts or "minimum" size tracts that cannot readily be measured. The 1957 Acreage Reserve Pro gram will be in operation on to bacco, cotton, corn and possibly peanuts.

Surveys have been started or authorized on three Madison and Buncombe highway projects that would cost up to $4,000,000 to build, 13th Division Commission er J. Fleming Snipes disclosed Friday. Jn addition he revealed, $2,300, 000 for Asheville's expressway has been committed in writing. Combined, the four highway jobs form a $0,000,000 long-range construction program for the two counties. Snipes emphasized that no funds have been allocated or committed for any but the ex pressway. The projects as outlined by Snipes Friday night are: 1. A survey on a new four-lane Asheville-Wtaverville highway was authorized at mid-day from Raleigh. The proposed road on a jiew location -would by-pass Weaverville to some extent. Based on cost experience, it would run to $l,o0.0,000, Snipes said. 2. A $2,300,000 commitment for Asheville's expressway has been given Snipes in writing from Highway Chairman A. H. Gra ham. The commitment can be turned into an allocation when the funds are needed, Snipes said. 3. Survey parties are now at work on a road improvement pro ject from Marshall to Walnut on U. S. 26-70.

Walker, Chairman of the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation State Committee. These payments are being: made under the 195(5 Soil Bank Acreage Reserve Program. Payment is in the form of a negotiable certifi cate which farmers may immedi ately redeem for cash through regular banking channels. In order to earn these pay ments, farmers in this state di verted nearly 80 thousand acres from the production of tobacco, cotton, wheat, or corn. Breaking this down to the various crops, Walker explained that the total figure is made up of 5,239 acres of wheat; 45,795 acres of corn; 20,867 acres of cotton, and 7,756 acres of tobacco. The largest pay ment, he said, will go to flue-cui-ed tobacco growers who will re ceive over a million and a half dollars. The next largest pay ment will go to corn growers in North Carolina's 27 commercial corn counties. This payment will amount to $1,266,611. Wheat ments under the 1957 Acreage Re farmers will receive payments to taling $26,252, and cotton and burley tobacco farmers will re ceive payment of $989,507 and 170,810, respectively. .

The Chancery Court, in a de cree written by Judge Shepherd, held that profits arising from the sale of producers' tobacco " . . . . belong to the farmers and not the Association. The Association acts as agent for the Commodity Cred it Corporation in making the loans and holds the equities as agent or trustee of the farmer or tobacco producers." The Court of Appeals in af firming the decree of the Chan cellor held, "We think any grower reading the contract in advance of the sale of his crop would have con cluded that "distribution" meant distribution in cash upon the liquidation of the crop for the year rather than allocation ac cording to cooperative usage and custom upon the books of the As sociation. As to such grower's erops under its contract with Com modity Credit Corporation, the Association was acting as an agent of the Federal Government and not in its capacity as a co operative, benefiting the industry as a whole."
