Ist. Cards Will Be Sent This Year The Farm Agent is having a num ber of requests for information in regard to the acres that may be planted in tobacco this year; and the pounds that may be sold. At pre sent, we have no definite informa tion, and we do not expect to have this information before April Ist., at the very earliest. The County and Community Committees have been going over the records of each farm and the information recently submitted by the farmers of the county in regard to families, barns, etc., on each farm. This information which the farmers supplied to * the County Agent’s office has been very help ful to the committees in their ef forts to try to make recommenda tions suitable for the faiVnjs. All this information has to be submit ted to the Raleigh and Washington offices for adjustment, and then re submittjtd for approval be fore we tan notify the fanners of their allotted acreage. According to- the Crop Control Bill which was recently passed by Congress, and which the people ap proved for this year of 1938 is the referendum on March 12, all this information for future crops is to be ready for the farmers each year by Jan. 1, in order that there may be no delay in their plans for their crop. This year, it was impossible to take any steps in this matter Un til the bill had been passed by Con gress, the referendum held, and the necessary information for each farm in the county submitted to the Ral eigh and Washingto offices for the County as a whole. The informa tion which they request is this: Serial Number of the Farm, Pre sent Tobacco Base, Tobacco Acre age Harvested in 1936 and in 1937, Acres of Cropland, and the Recom mended Usual Acreage. Along with this the committees will submit the number of farms, number of grown men on these farms, number of i women, children, boys, between 10 and 21 years, pack barns, curing barns and teams. After the Raleigh and Washing on offices have made the allotments for Ihe county, each farm owner, or other persons in charge of a farm, will receive a letter or card stating the number of acres assigned to each particular farm. This inform ation will be sent out just as soon as possible, but we feel sure we will not have the figures for the county before April 1. WAREHOUSE BILLS The Farm Agent has not yet re ceived instructions as to whether or ' not warehouse bills will be re. quired in establishing quotas for farms. Some farmers are bring | ing in warehouse bills. This is en tirely unnecessary at present; in ; fact, we cannot take them at pre sent. Just as soon as instructions ' are ceceived from Washington and 1 aleigh offices as to what procedure |to follow, each and every farmer will be notified what to do, about !warehouse bills. Watch the papers for announcements. We will also I write each farmer in the county in regard to his warehouse bills. Some farmers are worried about the fact that they do not have all heir bills. We feel sure that the in structions from Washington and Raleigh will take care of this sit juation. They will tell us what to do in those eases, and these in structions will be issued just as soon as we receive them. o RECENT ARRIVAL Born to Mr. and Mrs. Edward Thompson, of Blanche, N.
