Farmers What is described as one of the biggest “hog events” ever held in North Carolina is to be held Jan uary 26th and 27th in Kinston. It is thie Southern Yorkshire Type Conference, show and sale.

States represented by the ani mals on sale will,include North and South Carolina, Tennessee, Vir ginia, Kentucky, Ohio, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Nebraska, Iowa Senator Jordan Introduces Bill on Acreage Transfer wAiHHiDNiurruiM — mere is a growing need for changes in the present law that would permit the transfer of acreage allotments among farmers. Because of this need, I have in troduced legislation that would permit rented cotton acreage allot ments to be transferred from one farm to another on a temporary basis. It is possible that such a plan could include other crops, but I limited my bill to cotton for the time being. > For many years, farmers haive 'been renting acreage allotments. Under existing law, there is only one restriction attached to renting acreage allotments. The allot ment that is rented must be plant ed on the farm to which the allot ment is assigned. My bill would simply lift this re striction. It would enahle a farm er to consolidate any rented allot ments and cultivate them on one farm if he so desired. As the law stands now, for ex ample, a farmer may rent a neighbor’s allotment, but he must grow that allotment on the neigh bor’s farm. This creates a great real of hardship and inconvenience. If he was able to plant his own allotment and any rented allot ments all in one place, he could operate much more economically and’ with a great deal more con venience. There are safeguards in the bill against what have been called “land barons” who would make efforts to tie up large acreages under such a plan. First of all, the bill would prohibit any rented acreages to be moved from one county to another. Secondly, should the bill become law, administrative regulations should certainly be issued re New Court Schedule • Bccaus* of tho growing volume of case* before the court Judge Emmett Wooten and Solicitor Phil Crawford thie week announced a new schedule of sittings for Le noir County's busiest court. Ses sions will be held at 2:30 Monday afternoon and at 9:30 each morn ing for the rest of the week through Friday. ,A* pnerMnt the Monday afternoon, and all-day session Thursday and Friday morning sitting comprise the sche dule. The office of the court will remain open until Noon each Saturday, but no cases will be tried on Saturday. I striding the total number of acres that could be ;enied by ary one farmer under the program. Many opponents of the transfer of rented allotments argue that the original acreage allotment program was designed and carried out on the basis that acreage allot ments are made, to farms (the land) and not farmers. This is true, and 1 do not feel that my bill would in any way up set this tradition or custom, be cause under it no rental agree ment would have any effect on the allotment h'story of any farm. In other words, if a farmer rented his allotment to a neighbor for two years, for example, the allotment woulcS s’.dJl be assigned to the owner’s farm and would be treat ed tin future allotment quota dis tributions just as if the owner him self had planted the allotment. All my bill does is to permit a farmer who does rent allotments as provided for in present law to plant that allotment on his own farm rather than having to travel to ano'lher farm to cultivate the crop. News Briefs Presiding Judge Chester Morris last Thursday directed a verdict of not guilty in manslaughter and reckless driving charges against William E. Bennett after hearing part of the state's testimony, which attempted to prove that Bennett was driver of his car on August 29, 1958 when it was wreck ed and killed John R. Boykin. Ben nett says, now, that Boykin was driving the car. On the day after the wreck he told a patrolman that he was driving, but doctors said he was under drugs at the time he made that confession and possibly did not know what he was saying. Coin box looters struck Zeke Creech’s filling station and the USO lounge this week, getting something near $120 from the coin boxes of Coke, Pepsi and cracker machines., Creech’s place was hit during church hours Sunday morn ing and the USO was looted Sun day night. Mrs. Woodrow Stanley reported at 7;45 a. m. Tuesday that her car had been stolen and 20 minutes latter the car was found, stuck in a ditch just off Tower Hill Road oast of Kinston.
