Burley Quota Policy Changed WASHINGTON, D. C. - The U. S. Department of Agriculture has announced changes in policy governing the transfer of burley tobacco quotas that would permit transfer to farms not presently holding a basic quota. The department had previously required a farm to hold a burley quota before permitting the transfer of additional quota poundage. Under the burley program, unlike the programs for other types of tobacco, quotas are expressed in terms of poun dage rather than acreage. Under the new program, transfers to non-quota farms will be subject to the same terms and conditions that presently apply to transfers to quota farms. The main ex Tri-Countv Wagon Train Plans Started The annual Tri-County Regional Wagon Train will organize on Monday, June 30 at the Ebbs Chapel school grounds, it was announced this week. Mountain Ramparts Health Planning, Inc. will be in direct contact with randomly selected households through the county. The students selected and trained for the survey will have proper identification for the persons they contact for interview. The information will be held in an Impersonal and con fidential manner. This community project is designed to find areas in which primary health care is unavailable, the reasons for unavailability and steps that might be taken to make the needed care more readily accessible to Madison County residents. The results of the survey will be tabulated by computer, analysed and used to plan practical solutions to the problems. Hayes Ran 4-II Clab Met Jane 12 The Hayes Run 4-H Club met Thursday night, June 12 at 7:30 in the borne of Mr. and Mrs. Earle Wise. The meeting was called to order and Rosa Deane Frisby led the Pledge of Allegiance, Faith Wise led the 441 pledge, and Rosa Deane Frisby .had devotions. Eddie Reed reported on the Regional Reiearces Development Conference at Fontana last week. r t: ception will be that the quotas indicated on marketing cards issued to non-quota farms by USDA's Agricultural Stabilization and Con servation Service, will be limited to actual poundage leased. The burley tobacco program permits only the lease, not the sale, of quota poundage. Officials of the USDA feel lhat the change in policy is necessary to permit a number of interested individuals who are not presently eligible for a new farm quota to enter the burley tobacco market As with transfers to quota farms, quota leases to non quota farms will be filed with the local ASCS office or USDA service center and will have to be between farms in the same county Arthur Thomason will again be Wagon Master and Bill Murrary will be Chief Scout, it was announced. The train will leave Ebbs Chapel school grounds on July 1 and go by Bald Mountain and will end the trip at the Burn sville Elementary School on July 4th about 2 p.m. For further information, phone Mr. Thomason, wagon master.
