J. 8. Wilkins, county agent, said ne was uncertain as to what will be the fate of the work here until he receives actual notice from head quarters, but added that he was sorry to hear of the adverse decision. “However,” he added, "our work here will go right on until we have been notified to discontinue.” He asserted that all checks for last year’s contracts will be paid, as the government entered into that obligation with the farmers. He in dicated that the reduction program for next year will be continued as it is entirely voluntary. As to the process tax, the Bank head statute, tax exemption tickets, and adjustment payments, he was uncertain about all, and said he would not know for several days. “It is up to the congress to pro vide payments from some other source, if reduction and rentals are continued,” said J. A. Propst, Bank head supervisor of this county. These funds have been coming from the process tax. The attitude of the textile leaders here could not be determined, al though many are thought to be quite happy. , Call For Statements WASHINGTON, D.

Grigg said today that the delay of an extra week would likely be made up either in the spring with an extra week or a number of the schools will operate five Sat urdays.
