FARM ITEMS -
By W. C. Williford
County Farm Agent
The Hoke-Raeford PTA held I
its regular monthly meeting Mon
day night at the J. W. McLauch
lin School.
J. W. Turlington, Principal o:
the J. W. McLauchlin School, in
vites all parents to their World
Day of Prayer Chapel exercises
that will be held Friday morn
ing, the Primary exercises at
9:00 o'clock and the Grammar
grades at 9:30. The Rev. Gowei
Crosswell, Pastor of the Antioch
Presbyterian Church, will be tl.
speaker.
G. E. Crawley, Bus Route En
gineer for the State Board
Education, and B. D. Everitt o
the State Safety Division had
meeting Wednesday with t!
Superintendent, chief mechanic,
and highway patrol in the inter
est of school bus safety. We a
realize how necessary it is to I
careful with schoolbuses that are
loaded with children whether we
are bus driver, school official, or
ordinary motorist.
We, who are charged with the
operation of school buses, appre
ciate the cooperation we have re
ceived from the general public
and ask that it be continued. To
date we have had three minor
mishaps in the county. We hope
and pray that our accidents can
be held to these.
Public Law 425, 83rd Congress
provides that the 1955 penalty
on excess tobacco acreage be 50
of the price received last year.
This means that planting in ex- j
cess of your allotment will be ,
very costly. The best I remember,
the same law was enacted last i
year only to be repealed as soon I
as you had learned about it.
It will be a good idea to watch i
this closely if you plan to plant
tobacco in excess of your allot- ;
ment. At the present prices, the j
excess penalty will be 26 cents 1
per pound. You have to be very j
efficient to produce with that j
much handicap and come out on
the black side of your ledger.
WTe failed for one reason or an
other to give you the attendance
report for the fourth month. So
we will report a little diffeiently
this time and compare totals for
the fourth and fifth months in
stead of reporting by schools.
For the fourth month the white
schools had an average daily at
tendance (including days out for
communicable diseases) of 1293.
for the fifth month 1312: Indians
246 and 238; Colored 2320 and
2362.
Total absences for the two
months were for white, lourth
month 2133, fifth month 3066;
Indian 638 and 667; for Colored
2818 and 3076.
Total absences for the fourth
month were 5654, for the fifth
month 6809.
During the fourth month there
were 1752 of the absences caused
by communicable diseases, such
as colds, flu, mumps, measles,
and the like, leaving a total ot
3902 absences. The fifth month
shows a total of C809 absences
with 3852 caused by communic
able diseases, leaving 2957. If we
can deduce anything from the
above, it would seem that our at
tendance has improved (except
for communicable disease sick
ness) quite a lot over the early
fall monti.s, when, you will re
member, wo had over 7000 ab
sences per .'.onth, rii I very few
charged to communicable di
sease. We ! j; e this is the proper
deduction.
Again the subject of excess
acreage is a critical subject. There
have been a great number of acres
asked for by Hoke County farm
ers who want more than their
allotment. Only a very small
number of acres have been re
leased by farmers who have more
than they plan to plant.
If you release your cotton acres
that you don't intend to plant
you do not lose it in your future
allotments. If you have an allot
ted acreage not planted and don't
release it, you, the county, and
the state will have reductions in
the future allotments. If you re
lease your acreage at an early
date, it will be much more con
venient for someone else who
wants it.
Members of the Upehurch fac
ulty gathered in the Library and
Eleventh Grade classroom for the
third professional meeting.
Upehurch Hich split its road
trip with Harnett County Train
ing School of Dunn. The Upehurch
girll won as the boys lost.
Wheat allotments are now be
ing measured. The plans are to
pet all the wheat measured by
March 15. There are a limited
number of men checking these
allotments, and your cooperation
is urged In helping them get the
job done as speedily and accur
ately as possible. In case you have
over your allotment, you might
check and learn the penalty for
overplanting. You 'will not lose
price support on your other crops, '
but you will lose your ACP pay
ments by overplanting your wheat
allotment.
