Madison County school will re open next Tuesday following the , Chifabmas IwMays. Accordfing to Harry G. Sdlver, county agent, iburley Itobacoo has for many years been the leading source of agricultural income in Madison County. As long as the .aillotmont system and support price exist for fcurley tobacco this situation will probably not change. Most farmers dn it!he county con skier the value per acre which they can obtain from burley to bacco to be grfater than the a mount they may :be able to re ceive from any crop which they could produce. In most instances this assumption is true.

This is a continuation of the variety discount program that was operated this year by ASC, according to H. D. Godfrey, State Administrative Officer for t!he Agricultural Stabilization and Ooiniservation Committee. Accord ing to Godfrey, discount varities have been classified by State and Federal scientists located in this areas as "low to lacking in flavor and aroma, (generally of light body, andor currently with poor acceptance in the trace." In order to avoid the possibili ty of a farmer unknowingly plant ing a discounted variety, farmers should procure their seed only manner wSflthe farmer be able "to certify that he is not planting one of the discounted varieties.

Silver, county agent, the limiting factor in any fertiliser program is the element of fertilizer material such, as nitrogen, phosphorus or potash wfaich ta not available in adequate amouinita for good crop production. This means that even though bhere might be a good supply of phosphorous or potash if the ni trogen is short, total production of a crop will be limited to 4&te a mount of available nitrogen. It also means if there is adequate ni trogen and potash but the phos phorous is not available, the to tal production and life of the stand may be reduced by the lack of phosphate.
