I The Agricultural Award is pre i sented each year in recognition of 1 notable seiyice to agriculture ! during the preceding year. The continuous nature of this State’s bank program in agriculture is evidenced by the fact that North Carolina has received the award for 12 consecutive years. Du Pont Ownership Continues to Grow E.

The debate hinges perhaps most strongly on one phrase in the above quoted regulations, to wit; “has reduced tile number of ten ants and sharecroppers on his farm AS A RESULT OF PARTI CIPATION IN THE ACREAGE RESERVE piftQGRiAM,” The regulations are very speci fic in giving the county ASC com mittee complete authority to de termine the answer to that ques tion, and it would appear that county committees will have their hands full the rest of this year, trying to answer this question hundreds of times over.

Mewiborn reminds of one factor that weighs heavily on the minds of many: That is a three-year program at this time, and if the farmer lets the tenants leave the land now for any reason he may want them back in 1960. Barker admits that the soil bank BiU was primarily an economic ef fort to ease the surplus oT'corn, wheat, peanuts, cotton, rice and toibaoco, but when it came time to write the rules for administer ing the program the government ran into a massive social problem. Peculiarly enough flue-cured to bacco product ion presented the vast part of this social problem, in that immediate acceptance of the plan by landlords would have pushed thousands of tenants and shareciup families onto relief.
