Here’s What Yoar New 1936 License Tag Will Cost Now Mr. Average Citizen's 1936 state license plate for his popular-priced automobile will cost him almost $§ less than the 1935 tag. On all the tage of all the motor ists In the state, a saving of more than $1,500,000 will be made as aj result of a reduction In license rates by the last legislature.

Ask AAA Signers Report Tickets Bought Outside Supervisor of Bankhead farm ac tivities in Cleveland county, Alvin Propst has issued a request at the office of the county agent asking growers who have bought tax exemp tion tickets outside of the county this year to notify him as early as possible both for the amount and where they were bought. This action, he explained, will enable this county to obtain its proper quota next year when the rental program and acreage are ironed out. Cleveland needs credit for all the certificates actually used in this county, and if they were bought in another county, that county will get credit when quotas are filled. The new rental contract for 1936 has been released. It has been only tentatively formulated, and decision has been mads that a farmer may rent to the government from 30 to 46 percent of his base acreage. But the base acreage has not yet been decided. Mr. Propst thinks it will be ar rived at this year in an effort to get the most acres for North Caro lina as a whole. Rental payments next year will be five cents per pound instead of the current four and three-fourths cents per pound. Farm Leadership Stock Up As 4-H Clubsters Gt t Award Late Bulletins! S. J.
