CX, un ; der act of March 3rd, 1S7S. | Tobacco Allotment Adjusted To Conditions The tobacco adjustment program contemplates the welfare of grow ers over a long period of years rath er than the stimulation of abnorm ally high weed prices in 1935, ac cording to J. B. Hutson, chief of the AAA tobacco section. For this reason, he said, the con tract allotments were increased some what this year with a view of bring ing production into balance with con sumption. The huge surplus of 1933 and 1934 has been eliminated by the adjustment program, he added. Furthermore, he , continued, indi cations are that the 700,000,000 pound crop authorized for 1935 will bring the contracting growers more income than would another crop of the 1934 size. Should the program hold the con tracting growers to 560,000,000 pounds again this year, he explain ed, there would at l.rst be good prospects of an even higher price this year than last year?prices that would gives non-contracting growers a good price in spite of the Kerr Smith tax. With such prospects in view, Hut son observed, there would be great numbers of new growers entering the field. These new growers, to gether with other non-signers, would probably raise as much tobacco as they plant, he warned, and in the end produce an enormous crop that would drive prices down to the 1933 level or even lower. The optimum size for the tobacco crop, he continued, is that which will supply the normal demand at a price fair to both the grower and the con sumer. And in the long run the pro ducer will benefit more from such a balance than from either overproduc tion or underproduction. Consideration must also be given the foreign markets, Hutson pointed out, for they have been purchasing more than half of the country's flue cured tobacco crop each year. MRS.

Two dairies are nutting in deeper wells. Two dairies are patting in up-to-date sterilizing facilities. Some others already are equipped with them. One daily has made remarkable efforts to eradicate filthy and un ? ' sigltly sanitary conditions that did exist aboat the premises. . Other dairies are making efforts in this direction. One dairy is putting up a new and up-to-date dairy barn and milk house. Ail the dairies are cooperating to the fullest extent to produce a Grade i A product for the consumption of the public. With the above cited efforts being made by the local dairymen, it is my opinion that Fannville should now adopt the new 1936 U. S. Public Health Standard Milk Ordinance. Although there are some features about the new Ordinance that would have a tendency to eliminate the small pro ducer of dairy products, it is my opinion, that With careful supervision of the dairies and product, a Grade A product may be produced by even the smallest producer. It will not be as easy to produce a uniform Grade A product by the man using antiquated methods and his methods will of necessity require, stricter supervision than one equipped with Standard equipment. There is another condition existing in the near-by communities that has a direct bearing on the health and happiness of the people. That is the ease with which Rabies vaccine is obtained and administered to dogs by the irresponsible person or persons. In order for the maximum of protec tion to be given to people, it is essential that the administration of rabies vaccine to dogs be performed by licensed and responsible persons having a knowledge of disease and its complications, and when rabies vaccine is administered to dogs by any other party, the fullest protection is not given to the public that it by rights should be granted. No one with a thinking mind should care to depend upon someone's verbal statement as to whether or not such and such a dog had been immunized against rabies. A certifi cate of vaccination should always be demanded of the person giving the treatment.) In regard to the sanitary conditions of the cow-stables and horse stables in Farmville, I am suggesting that Farmville adopt suitable Or dinances regarding these conditions, such as keeping unused stables locked to:prevent careless contamination by transients, and requiring use of fly traps and removal of refuse and use of crude oil in keeping the fly breed ing to a minimum. My last recommendation is that Farmville require the use of Fly traps by all merchants handling food or food products to keep the flies from breeding and contaminating the foods. That all rat-harbQurs be eradicated as far as possible and suitable steps be taken to rid this town of this pest There are several ditches in and around the town that need cleaning and early drainage to prevent the breeding of mosquitoes which are an ever source of danger to the public because of fever associated with mosquitoes' presence* '?

AN ACT TO AMEND THE CHAR TER OF THE TOWN OF FARMVILLE: ? PRIVATE LAWS 1909 CHAPTER 126 SECTION I?The purpose of this act is to change the date of primaries and elections of the officials of the Town of Farmville, so that the terms of office shall begin and expire on the same date that the fiscal year begins and ends.
