The No-Net Cost Tobacco Act of 1962 provides for producer contributions to the tobacco price support pro gram. The meeting will be held in the Humanities Lecture Hall of the University of North Carolina at Asheville. Joining Hendon in the pro gram will be Rep. William C. Wampler of Virginia and Rep. Larry J. Hopkins of Kentucky. Both men are members of the House Agriculture Commit tee. "The purpose of the meeting is to brief our burley tobacco fanners on the new rules, changes and other aspects of the new tobacco legislation." Hendon said. He added that all tobacco farmers in Western North Carolina, South Carolina and East Tennessee are welcome to attend. Other tobacco-related legislation is currently pen ding before the Congress. Last week, the Senate passed a tax bill which would double the federal tax on cigarettes from eight to 16 cents per package. The proposed increase was part of a tax package aimed at reducing the federal deficit. The bill passed the Senate by a two-vote margin when North Carolina senators Jesse Helms and John East changed their votes to approve the package. Hendon has stated that he will oppose the tax increase on cigarettes when the tax bill reaches the House floor. He said. "I will oppose this tax because it would place an un fair burden on North Carolina's economy and single out an industry vital to our economy." The Senate-passed version of the tax package would dou ble the present tax for the next three years. Conservation Reminder BY RUSSELL C. B LEVINS Recent rains have caused soil erosion problems in most tobacco fields in the county. Most people don't realize this though, because soil erosion is something that occurs everytime it rains. When you can see the effects of soil erosion after one rain, there is little doubt that the soil erosion is too much to maintain good crop produc tion in that field over a long period of time. Most of the soil erosion that people notice is gully or rill erosion. This is soil erosion that causes little channels to form in the fields. These channels can be anywhere from barely noticeable to several inches deep. Another type of soil erosion is commonly called sheet ero sion. This type of erosion is not noticeable to most people until they are out in the fields and notice there are more rocks than there werebefore the last rain. Rocks don't rise to the surface, the soil moves away from them. The next question is why soil erosion is a problem. Simply stated, soil erosion is not a problem unless it exceeds the rate at which the soil rebuilds itself, about s tons per acre per year. However, moat crop fields in Madison County are losing more than this amount. When this occurs, the lan downer is basically mining or depleting his land of valuable nutrients and soil. This effects the ability of the land to pro duce at its current level year after year. Crops become more susceptible to drought If you have noticed soil erosion problems on your property and would like help in solving them, please con tact the Soil Conservation Ser vice, P.O.
