A member of Sr ' McLendon Story Serves To Al ~lay, Misunderstandingvf ^ 1936 Farm Program By l. l. mclendon, County Agent There has been some confu sion in the minds of the farm ers of Duplin County in regard to the Soil Conservation Pro gram, which has been brought about by linking the Compact Act with the Soil Conservation Program, The Soil Conservation Pro gram is in force in 1936 and all fanners in Duplin County are eligible to participate in this program. The Compact Act is not in force and will not be in force until the legislature of North Carolina passes a bill putting it in force, which at this time looks doubtful. The Soil Conservation Pro gram deals with the number of acres of crops to be planted in 1936, and therefore makes re duction of crops and makes payments therefor. The com pact, if and when put in force, deals with the marketing of to bacco only and does not make any payments whatever. No payments will be made to grow ers under any program now contemplated, except the Soil Conservation Program. This program does not require re duction of any crops such as corn, where this crop is need ed on the farm. The Soil Conservation Pro gram calls for 20 percent of all soil depleting crops, such as tobacco and cotton, planted on tlm farm in 1936, to be planted in a soil conserving crop such as peas, beans, etc. The soil conserving crops can be inter planted with corn and can be utilized in any way except for seeds harvested for sale for the purpose of crushing for oil ex traction. 80 percent of the far mers of Duplin County, with out the planting of additional acites, will qualify, if cotton and tobacco acreages are re duced, for the payment under this program. This is shown on the work sheets already filled out by farmers of the county. A grower cannot participate in any payment until work sheets for his farm are made rhich work sheets show >. iopb mid irmBtf Dr. Carl Taylor and Tour Project With Menbin^ Pender Board of Education. §1 REPORT $120,000 SLATED M FOR PENDERLEA SCHOOL Construction Finished, Drain-* ' age To End This Week, Re sident Engineer Says , Penderlea construction of • \ high school building on the Penderlea Romesteads project becomes more probable, for fol lowing, a reliable report that $120,000 had been appropriated for such a structure, it was learned that Dr. Carl C.
