You may request remeasure- ment of your 1955 acreage provided a request for remeasurement'is filed with the County ASC Office within five days from the Miate of the notice of measured, acreage and at the same time you pay the estimated cost of .remauring that acreage..! The charge for remeaiurement will he 70 cents per acre of remeasuring 70 cents per acre to be remeasur. - -or $3.50 per farm, whichever Is greater. A proucer may not request remeasurement of p a part of the acreage on theV-t in which he has 100 per cent interest or In which he an one other producer share a 100 per cent interest. 2, You may dispose of any excess acreage to come within your allot ment provided you notify the Coun. ty ASC Office within five days from the date of the notice of mea sured acreage of your intention to dispose of the .excess acreage and provided the excess acreage is dis posed of within one week from the date of your declaration. At the time you declare your intention you will be required to deposit the es timated cost of checking the dis. position of the excess acreage. The charge for checking disposition of excess acreage 'will be $1.00 per tenth of an acre to be disposed. of with a minimum of $3.00 per farm. No credit for disposition of excess tobacco may be given if any of the tobacco on the acreage to be dis posed of has been harvested and any disposition of excess acreage must be made in the presence of a representative of the County ASC Committee. . ' .further information on any of the above items may be obtained at the Duplin County ASC Office. Be sure you understand the changes in the law and administrative reg ulations affecting your 1955 acreage and future allotments. Farmers Taking Allotment Cut Inol utilized in cigarettes. Griffin points out a disturbing thing which is occurring throughout the flue cured tobacco belt and urg. es all farmers to cooperate in right Ing the situation. In 1954. last year, 1,751 farms WITHOUT an allotment in the flue cured belt produced '2.449 acres of tobacco. In 1954; 8.587 farms WITH an allotment produced 14,168 acres if tobacco in EXCESS of their allot ment. All these factors go into the one reason for cutting .tobacco acreage for 1955. ., , , The Support on tobacco for this year is 48 cents plus per pound and is slightly higher than 1954. " -v . V.
