PREMEASUIUNG
OF TOBACCO IS :
IMPORTANT HERE
One way fai which operaitars of
tobacco farms can be sure of util
izing (their (full tobacco acreage
without involving some excess
acreage is to have their allotment
officially premeasured, says Ralph
Ramsey, -ASCS office manager
for 'Madison County..-
Premeasuring means Just what
the term implies and that is the
measuring off .and staking down
of the allotted acreage : prior to
the planting of the tobacco. Each
field that is premeasured will be
checked after planting has been
completed.;, If this inspection re
veala .hat the farmer planted the
area as it was staked out and all
stakes are found to be in (place,
the premeasurements : will be . ac
cepted as ithe planted acreage.
.Ramsey pointed out that ifirom
eight to ten ASCS reporters (with
past experience in this type work
will be given additional training
and placed in the field in mid
'March, if the weather conditions
permit. ? Farmers desiring pre
measurement services r will bear
the coat which varies according
ito the amount oft work involved.
The irnitumum charge is $7.50. per
arm where only one field is in
volved. '. Farms with more than
one field or farm tract will he
charged an additional dollar for
each field in excess of one fields
or farm tract on .which measure-
anents are to be made. Mwrdh 15

out in massive numbers to vote in
the Referendum Tuesday. A pre
liminary tabulation of ballots cast
indicates foot 4,863 growers vot
ed within the coumty, according
to Ralph Ramsey, ASCS office man
ager. Of this number 4,299 voted
in favor of continuing the quota
program with price supports for

1963 and 1964. Only 26 county
producers voted against 4he pro
gram while . some 38 voters', eli
gibility was challenged by refer
erenotan committees.. Most chal
lenges were made on account of

then for any other during the hie.
tory of -the program., The second
