Ramsey, office manager of the Madison, County ASC committee. In connection with the acreage measurement job for 1960, Mr. Ramsey urges all farmer to coop erate fully with the reporter when he visits their farms. Producer cooperation can help : to, get the job done faster, more accurately, and more economically. Some of the ways farmers can help are : (17 see that stakes are in place on premeasured farms; (2) make sure . plantings are . Within the staked area ' on premeasured farms; and (3) nave Someone wW is familiar with the farming op eration to help the reporter if the operator is away; from the farm. There are 2971 ; allotment farms to be checked this summer, and the 'cooperation of the farmer will certainly Toe' needed .if the job is completed on time. '. .. Mr. Ramsey pointed ' out 'that' the work of the reported in only a part of the performance job. The reporter measures . the acre age, and turns the measurement in to the county office where the acrage is computed, posted to ap plicable records, and notices pre pared and mailed to the farmer.

Silver, county agricul tural agent, said here this week. There are certain precautions that should be used in spraying chemicals for weed control. Quite a number of farmers over the past years have reported injury from careless or excessive use of 2,4-D.J Farmers using 2,4-D to control weeds in corn should 'follow the instructions given on the contain ers. The amine form of 2,4-9 is re commended by the Extension a gents in Madison County. This form of 2,4-D does not give in jury from a fume drift as does the ester form. When corn ' is from six .inches to twelve inches tall,' not more than one-half lb. and preferably one-third pound of 2,4-D as an acid should be used per acre, v Each pint of 2,4-D con tains one-half , s pound of : amine 2,4-D acid. - Caution should be used in f applying, this ; material near tobacco and J most vegetable crpps since they are susceptible to injury from 2,4-D.. Unless ex cessive pressure is used on the sprayer, 2,4-D can be safely used wiftiin 15 to 20 feet of tobacco or vegetables when there is no air movement to the direction of the vegetables or tobacco. V'w ' ' , Containers which have had 2,4-D in them, either ' in pouring the material in the sprayer or other wise handling the material, should not be used for spraying, dusting or in any form around vegretalk? or tobacco since it is very d!T"cu't to clean the residual 2,4-D fr (Cenirr.sel To Lat T. z') LIONS MET HERE MONDAY NIGHT; PLANS ARE MADE The Marshall Lions Club, with 19 members present, met Monday night at the Rock Cafe.

T3,t -e ers r,-.'i t 1 e st !' 2 Seminary CI,nr.""i Vy c-.'.'i j I I Warns Of Accumulation Of Surpluses Of Tobacco Under Loan There have been two outstand ing developments in recent years in tobacco production which have not received acceptance in tThe market, according to Ralph W. Ramsey, ASC office manager for Madison County. The first of these was the development of flue cured varieties and the widespread planting of these varieties in 1955 and 1956, which were later classified as tobaccos lacking in body, flavor, and aroma, with pale, "slick," and "toady" char- . acteristies. In 1957 as a result of the unacceptability of these varieties in the market, tfne sup port price was reduced to one-half of the rate for tobacco produced from acceptable varieties. This became known as as the tobacco discount program and is still in effect. Ramsey stated that the second tobacco problem is related to the use of a chemical as a sucker control, and is applicable to Bur ley as well as flue-cured. In. 1958, another : widespread development took place the control of suck ers with Maleic Hydrazide (MH 30). Tobacco appeared on the warehouse floors in certain belts with gray, toady, slick, leathery characteristics, particularly in the leaves from the upper part of the plant. In many instances,, tobac co with these characteristics was passed by the trade ' during the auction sale and moved into Sta bilizaion's stocks. Here again, as in the 1955 and 1956 v crops, to- i bareo--whkcVk was; -traditionally -bought by the trade was ; passed due to unacceptability of the ' to- : bacco. Stabilization was .the vie-. tim againh aving to take the to bacco with these unacceptable char- -acteristies. :. These physical char acteristics along w i t h : chemical ' changes in the leaf which resulted in a deterioration; ;'P quality in' the leaf, wa? caused by spraying the tobacco with MH-30 to con- trol suckers, according to tobacco scientists in both public and pri-.' vate organizations. ; In 1968, Stabilization received ' 29.8 million pounds of tobacco , from 6 tip grades which is from the upper part of the plant. These 6 grades are ' traditionally t'ne -first tobaccos to be sold by Sta- bilization when a crop is , offered ' : for sale. The tobacco Stabilization . received from the 1958 crop was offered for sale in January, 1959. Since that time, only 5 of these ! grades have been sold. One rea-' son these grades have not moved is due to visible ' characteristics caused by MH-30. s ? ( . Buyers have emphatically stat ed that they , will not knowingly buy tobacco treated wTh this chem- - - icaL Their protests were based 'on (Continued To Last Page) BIBLE SCHOOL 1 IN PROGRESS AT OAK IDH CHURCH : .
