Director of Extension in Charge
of Home Economics, while greet

Baptist Church, the annual meeting
of the tri-county (Durham, Orange,
Chatham) 14th District Federation

These words keynoted the message
brought by the other speakers to
the convention.
Mrs. Gilbert English, state Fed
eration First Vice-Fresulent, com
mended the present status of Home
Demonstration work in her intro
duction of state Federation Presi
dent, Mrs. V. I. Hockaday. Mrs.
Hockaday not only endorsed Miss
Current’s opinion but instanced
specific accompiishments as exi
dences of its validity. Two accomp
lishments of especial local interest
mentioned were: reaching by HD
Club members over the state of 8,
000 non-members; and the launch
ing of the state Home Demonstra
tion magaizne, Green 'N' Growing,
under the editorship of Durham
County’s own Dorothy Vanderbilt.
Miss Anamerle Arant, Northwest
ern District Home Economics
Agent, while introducing the feat
ured speaker of the morning, Dr.
Naomi Albanese, recapitulated Miss
Current’s assertion with. “We are
on the threshold of greater things."
Dr. Albanese, Dean of the School
of Home Economics of the Wo

North Carolina, throughout her ad
dress on "Home Economics as a
Dual Career” ’re-endorsed Miss

the sub-topics, “You as a Home
maker" and “Personal Aspects,”
Dr. Albanese reminded that- the
thought of the Home Demonstra

Ask Farmers
To Plant In
Allotments'
Ever*’ year, dome farmers in
North Carolina are greatly incon
venienced by having planted in ex
ess of their allotment on one of
heir basic crops.
W. M. Snipes, Chairman of the
Orange County ASC Committee,
issued a remmtier today to all
Orange County farmers that it is
definitely their responsibility to
plant within their acreage allot
ments.
Every year a few farmers over
the State, on having their acre-1
:tges measured ■ by ASC personnel, j
find that they have overplanted. >
Many of these farmers, according
to Snipes, pay additional money
cut of their pockets to have a rep
resentative of the ASC County
Committee witness disposition of
the excess acreage. Other farmers
i make a deposit with the ASC of
fice to have officials revisit the
farm and remeasure the acreage.
In just about every case, this is
an unnecessary drain on the farm
er’s pogketbook, and in every case
the time lost by these revisits to
the farm is an inconvenience to
the farmer.
“That’s just one of the reasons
the farmer should remember that
it is his responsibility to plant
within his acreage allotment,"
Snipes said! Another reason in that
a farmer plants in excess of his
allotment, he is wasting seed or
plants, fertilizer, and labor.
Flue-cured tobacco farmers in
this State have another responsibil
ity, according to Snipes. The De
partment of Apriculture again this
year is supporting the price of cer
tain “discounted” tobacco varieties
at one-half the normal support
rate._:_,__....—„——:
The responsibility for the ident
ification of tobacco grown on the
farm rests with-the fanner, Snipes
explained. Every farmer will be re
quired to sign a certificate to the
effect that he has or has not plant
ed one of the discounted varieties.
“ASC will take extensive steps to
identify any tobacco of the dis
countedvarieties that migh bet
grown in this State. However, this
does not alter the fact that the
responsibility actually rests with
the farmer growing the tobacco,”
Snipes said.
--—O-_—
A great many people never worry
about the future until It becomes a
part of the past.
Taking advantage of a raft of
friends is the only thing that keeps
some people afloat.
