Why shouldn't the plural of

If one Is a tooth and the whole

The merchants of the area
have literally flocked to the
commercial booths. There has
been almost a 20% increase hi
the number of booths sold. One
merchant remarked. "When
you can have from SO to SO
thousand people pass your
booth, see your product and
your name on it at a coat of
only 25 to $40 (depending on the
size of the booth), you lust can
not beat it for advertizing val

like an actor ha vine a captive
audience. I though many com

the Jaycees have it arranged
so that you have to walk right
past the booths to get to the
midway and people really re

there, and it seems a lot of
other dealers feel the same
way."

ACP Reaches 2 Million
Farms Each Year
Over 2 million farms throu
ghout the country are partici
pating in the Agricultural Con
servation Program 'ACPI each
year, according to Rufus Elks,
Jr., Manager, Duplin ASCS Co
unty Office. This includes
farms where practices receiv
ing ACP cost-sharing are un
der way and those where re
cently completed ACP practi
ces are being maintained by
the farmers.
Farms receiving ACP prac
tice assistance during 1963 a
k>ng totaled 1.1 million, of
which 23 percent - or 254,000 ?
were "new" farms which had
not received cost-sharing dur
ing any of the previous 4 years.
In North Carolina, Elks pointed
out, A CP and fanners coope
rated in conservation measures
during 1963 on 96,888 farms,
and 9,565 of these were "new"
farms.
Elks explained that the high
participation in ACP by "new"
farms where no significant con
servation work had been done
in recent years has been due
largerly to the personal efforts
of ASC community committee
men. On their own time and
without pay, these committee
men assumed the responsibility
of encouraging operators on
such farms and ranches to
carry out a needed conserva
tion practice. This effort is
continuing in 1964, and results
thus far are most favorable.
"It would be hard to set a
value on the benefits resulting
from this 'new' conservation
work," Mr. Elks said. "Many
of these farmers thus have a
chance to add to their income
through better use and man
agement of their soil, water,
and woodland, and to form'
conservation habits " "And. of
course, the benefits are not lim
ited to agriculture. Farmers,
urban communities, and the
public generally gain from
good land-treatment measures,
which greatly reduce major
sediment damage downstream
by restricting runoff and ero
sion from the Nation's farm
land "
