Cleveland County Board of Commissioners, Page 152, as per election April 27th, 1925 Education Board Not To Meet For Session Monday Ha* Not Received Information About Set-IJp For Districts, The Cleveland county board of education will not hold its regular monthly meeting on Monday, It was announced today by J. H. Grigg, county superintendent. At Monday's session the board had planned to name the commit teemen for the various districts of the county, but due to the fact that full information about the new set up for eight months schools has not been received from Raleigh Shis cannot be done. It is understood that under the new set-up there will be a 'number of changes in district boundaries, etc., and for this reason it would be unwise to name committeemen un til these details are straightened out. The state school commission will hold a meeting next week to outline the new set-up and when this is done the county board will meet and name the committeemen. It is possible that this meeting may be held the latter part of next week or early in the following week.

Shoffner, county agent, announced before the Kiwanis club at its weekly lunch eon meeting While the average lint production per acre in Cleveland county Is 315 pounds, the highest of any county in North Carolina or perhaps the entire belt, some farmers are In clined to over-estimate their yield, said Mr. Shoffner and he urges them to be conservative in order that their estimates might be ac cepted without question. Cash-Option Plan Favored Some of the largest and best farmers of the county have signed the acreage reduction contract, ac cepting cash and option on govern ment cotton at six cents per pound which might be sold immediately after the plan is declared effective if they choose to do so. July 3rd Last Day When asked the limit, date set for signing, Mr. Shoffner stated that the survey must be completed by July 3rd after which date the plan will be put into effect if a minimum oi io.uuu.uuu oares is tween out 01 production. Farmers have been slow to sign, although they manifest an interest in the plan and most of them are wholly in sympathy with the idea to boost the price. “What we need how U action." said -Mr. Shoffner. Committees are still at work in every township in the county and newly signed contracts are coming in all the time. Members of these commfttees, Mr. Shoffner and five extra people in his office are avail able to assist farmers in filling out the contracts. Thousands of ques tions have been asked and answer ed and Mr. Shoffner and the agri culture teachers now feel that the plan is fully understood by farmers who have attended the fifteen meetings held at convenient places throughout the county.

I Cleveland Due To Reduce Cotton Crop By 21,988 Acres In Program If Cleveland county farmers support the government's cotton reduction program it will be necessary for them to destroy approximately 21,988 acres of this year’s cotton crop. These figures are based upon last year’s total cotton acreage of 73,292 acres in the county. It is estimated, however, that this year's acreage does not quite reach 70,000 and It may be that the county can comply with the 30 percent cut by destroying 21, 000 acres. Only one county in the state, Robeson, has a larger cotton acreage and will have, to destroy more acres than Cleveland. Robeson had 75,427 acres tn cot ton last year, 30 per cent of which would be 22,646 acres. Johnston county had 60,344 acres In cotton and must de stroy 18,281 acres.'

Be Printed As Soon as Passible. A* a result of editorials appear ing in The Star urging that a new telephone directory be published at once, Ralph N. Pfaff. district man ager of the Southern Bell Tele phone Co!, came over from Char lotte yesterday, bringing with him the man who has charge of solic iting advertising and promised that a new directory will be issued as soon as the data is collected and the printers can do the work. .Shelby’s last dtteototy was pubr was omitted «e well as the spring edition due to appear in May of this year The omissions were made as an economy in the operation of the telephone system. However. Mr. Pfaff stated when he was here yesterday that his com pany wants at all times to render satisfactory service to its subscribers and if they are inconvenienced in the least by the old directory, he will personally see to It that a new directory is issued just as soon as the data is collected and the print ing is done. The Star, reflecting the sentiment of the subscribers, pointed out sev eral weeks ago the annoyance and inconvenience of using the 1932 di rectory which does not carry all oi the telephone numbers and has many number changes from those shown in the old book.

Mr. Pfaff was very agree able about the matter and mani fested a keen desire to give his pat rons here the customary good serv ice that usually marks the tele phone company. Some delay In answering the de mand for a new directory was oc casioned by the fact that many of the older officials in point of serv ice were retired and younger men advanced in rank.
