Donald Roberts, y office mana ger, said a total of 190 farms have been signed up with 366.58 acres of tobacco being put in the Soil Bank out of allotments totaling 368.93 acres, payments will amount to 381.192.06. The majority of the farms put all their tobacco acreage in the bank. One, however, agreed to keep only part of his allotment out of production Signups began last week and will continue through March 7. No limit is set on the amount of land one can put in the bank, but a maximum of $3,000 per person is provided.

Average payments on tobacco is around $221 per acre in Orange County. Roberts said agreements signed by farmers last week will not be approved by the county commit i teemen until the designated acres have been checked in the field. Last year contracts were approved before the acreage was measured. Specific fields placed in the Soil Bank this year will be checked to see if they are of average produc j tivity. Full payment will not be j made on land not up to par with [ other land on the farm.

Savings & Loan Reports Good Year' To Owners I he Hillsboro Savings & Loan Association, now in its'45th year, continued its record of substantial growth during the past year, but not at the pace of the three prior years. That was the gist of the annual report to stockholders of the local association made by Executive Vice President Ira A. Ward at its an nual meeting Tuesday night. He attributed the slow down gen erally to the effects of the tight money situation, but declared, "We have had a good year in 1951” , Assets of the association were increased approximately P 100.000 during the yar as compar ed to over $500,000 increase the previous year.

At their regular meeting last week the Town Board asked. At torney Jim Phipps to investigate the recent court decision which declar ed that’ the City of Asheville was out of order in charging out-of-town water customers a higher rate than municipal residents paid. In this case the out-of-town group had set up a tax district to support a bond issue for extension of the system, contingent on the levying of the game sale price on water as in-town customers paid. Te Prevent Deficit Last summer the Carrboro Board doubled the out-of-town water ra’e, purportedly only for the current year, to help take care of a deficit of 13,000 that would otherwise show’ in the municipal budget.

Ward said funds . were available throughout most of the year to meet the demand for loans and he expressed optimism that a similar situation would continue with the local institution. He noted among indications of progress payment of the largest dividend to sharehold ers in the history of the institu tion, $86,232.78. which represented 55.7% of total income, and the re payment of $100,000 owed to the Federal Home Loan Bank. $37. 794.55 was added to the Reserves of the institution to increase its strength and stability while $27. 362.75 was used for operating ex penscs. the latter only 17.7% of income, a percentage far below thr state average for institutions of comparable size.
