ASC Officials Urge
Don't Plant In Excess
Every year, some farmers in
Duplin Co. are greatly inconven
ienced by having planted in excess
of their allotment on one of the bas
ic crops O. h. Holland, Chairman of
the Agricultural Stabilization and
Conservation Duplin County Com
mittee, issued a reminder today to
all Duplin farmers that it is defini
tely their responsibility to plant
within their acreage allotments.
Every year a few farmers over
the County on having their acreage
measured by ASC personnel, find
that they have overplanted. Many
of these farmers, according to Hol
land, pay additional money out of
their pockets to have a representa
tive of the ASC county committee
witaess disposition of the excess
acreage. Other farmers make a de
posit with the ASC office to have
officials revisit the farm and mea
sure the acreage . In just about
every case, this is an unnecessary

drain on the farmer's pocketbook,
and in every case the time lost by
these revisits to the farm is an in
envroence to the farmer.
"That's just one of the reasons
the farmer should remember that
it is his responsibility to plant with
in his acreage allotment," Holland
said. Another reason is that every
time a farmer plants in excess of
his allotment, he is wasting seed or
plants, fertilizer, and labor.
Flue-cured tobacco farmers in
this County have another responsibi
lity, according to Holland. The De
partment of Agriculture again this
year is supporting the price of cer
tain "discounted" tobacco varieties
at one-half the normal support rate.
The responsibility for the identi
fication of the variety of tobacco
grown on the farm rests with the
farmer, Holland explained. Every
farmer will be required to sign a
certificate to the effect that he has
not planted one of the discounted
varieties.
"ASC will take extensive steps to
identify any tobacco of the discoun
ted varieties that might be grown
in this County However, this does
not alter the fact that the responsi
bility actually rests with the farmer
growing the tobacco," Holland said
