All operators of tobacco farms
within the county may have their
allotted acreage laid off on which
they will plant tobacco in 1959.
This servecie was termed "Pre
measurement" by No vile Hawk
ins. Chairman of the Madison
County . ASC Committee who
pointed out that there are several
farmers each year who through
inaccurate measurements on their
own part or because of incorrect
information on 1 the acregae in
permanent fields, plant either
more or less than they are actual
ly permitted by their allotment.
In the case of overplanting, this,
causes the farmer unnecessary ex
pense in the way of fertilizer,
plants, labor and waste of land.
In case of underplanting, this
would cause the farmer to lose
part of his would be farm income.
Mr. Hawkins said tSiat the
State ASC Committee had recent
ly announced that charges for
1859 premeasurement services
would be the larger of $8.00 per
farm or $3.00 pef acre' and that

According to Harry G. Silver,
county agent, the agricultural
outlook in geeral is not good. The
outlook story is surplus tobacco,
surplus grains, surplus poultry
and poultry products higher pro
duction with lower prices for
farm products.
Probably the brightest long
time outlook on the agricultural
picture is for timber. Forest
Service experts have concluded,
"assuming industrial wood main
tains its present relative place
'in, the economy the total demand .
for wood in 1975 may be 40 per
cent greater than it is today
and TWICE AS GREAT 41 year
from now.
