Sheriff Ralph Miller said today that the money from the sale, which has not yet been determined, will probably go into the Duplin Coun ty School Fund. The whiskey haul came last July 27, when a paneled truck, belonging to Scott's Poultry Company, of Goldsboro, was stopped about one mile north of Kenansville on high ned for their farms on some 3,000 I acres. Thus there are to date some 200 conservation farmers who- have completed planned conservation treatment to more than 23,000 acres ACP ASSISTANCE GROWS Technical aid by the District tech. nicians to ACP amounted to more than 750 farmers being assisted in on-site selections, layout, supervi sion and certification of practices performed. The cost - sharing by ACP aided in the establishment of permanent type practices during the year. Conserving Water Land use adjustment and the ap plication of conservation practices that tend to conserve water and soil moved ahead to new heights in 1954. More than L500 acres of cropland were converted to grass; with some 150 acres going to woodland and wildlife during the year. In ah. ef fort to conserve, protect and im orove cropland some 10,000 addi tional acres received, improved ve getative practices; such as cover ?rops, conservation crop rotations nd crop residue, utilization.
