To help far mers take the guesswork out of acreage, Emory Robinson, chair man of the Madison County ASCS county committee, announced to day that premeasurement service will again be made available to farmers in 1964. For those who request premea surement, the ASCS will send a representative to the farm to measure and stake the exact acre age to be planted.
