to provide a comfortable, warm
places for ewes to lmb.
The cost of providing a suit

very little. In almost every in

Ramsey Warns
Agreements Are' In
Effect thru Dec. 31 .
The 75 - Madison County ; farm.
ers who signed acreage . reserve
agreements under the 1968 pro
gram: were cautioned today by
Ralph W Ramsey, Office Mana
ger for . . Madison . County ASC
Committee, that these agreements
remain in full force through Dec.
31,. 1958. . The land specifically
designated, as the reserve acreage
in the contract may not be cropped
nor can, livestock be permitted to
graze on it. ,
- Ramsey explained that since 75
of the farmers taking part in this
acreage' reserve phase of t!he soil
bank has. been paid in full for
underplanting their 'tobacco or
wheat allotment, . .that some might
feel, at this time that they had
fully complied with . all the' terms
of their agreements, i This con
ception is not true as the " pro
visions In the agreement are in
effect throughout , the calendar
year even 'though the v payment
was made before the. end of the
year. J , 1 . '
, In conclusion Ramsey . pointed
out that it is definately the- re
sponsibility of the farm owner to
see that his part of the agreement
is complied, with and t'hat he in
tentionally or willfully' permit any
grazing of the designated acreage
prior to Jan. 1, 1959 that stiff
civil penalties become necessary
for breaking his contract with the
