The 1940 allotment is a de crease of approximately 17.2 per cint under tho 1939 allotment, a ffeure about in line with the reduc tion for the state; g Although farmers in the county over-planted their allotments last ye*r by 41.6 per cent, or 14^230 acres, benefits to be derived from the Soil Conservation program and penal ties to be assessed under the Agri cultural Adjustment Act's marketing program :|hia peer indicate . over* planting this would prove costly to the 'tma#. An example of this can be shown in the followingfigures: Taking the normal yield pgr acre is set tip for a farm under the SoH Conservation program of 850 pounds, a farmer would be penalised eight eents per pound on tobacco planted in ex cess ef his allotment. ^ This would make a total of $04 per acre loet in payments due under the Soil Con servation program.

W. Holmes, following a "fire, which broke out early Sunday morning, March 10, in an adjoining store, occupied by Foe buck's Home Grocery. The smoke, generated from the burning roof badly damaged walls, fixtures and equipment of The Rouse Printery, and the Doris Beauty Shop. The entire stock of the grocery store was ruined by fire, which was said, by local firemen to be the most dif ficult .they had encountered due to the density of the smoke and over powering fumes. Parinville's only newspaper and commercial printing plant, which will observe a formal opening of its new offices at an early date, will be 30 years old in May. . The plant wis purchased by G. A. Rouse in may, 1928, and has been located in its present quarters for the past 12% years. The Building and Loan organisa tion has retained offices jointly with The Rouse Printery ^or a period of 17 years.
