Some Stuff in'
Voting was so heavy alt the Hert
ford precinct here last Tuesday thajt
one of the ballot boxes burst as an
official was tamping down the ballots
with a stick to make room for more
votes in the box.
R. C. Murray, chairman of the
Board of Elections was present at the
time, and immediately secured the box
by taping it with gum'med paper, re
taining all ballots in the box, which
had been cast up to the time of the
box burst. "
Balloting at the Hertford precinct
was believed to be the heaviest in
years, sunpassing any other election,
at least, back to 1928.

"More than 1900 Perquimans County
voters went to. the polls on last Tues
day to participate in the general
lection, electing' national, . state and
local officials. . One thousand and
eighty-nine votes were tallied in thT
presidential race between Governor
Arflai Stevenson and General Eisen
hower, with Stevenson carrying Per
quSmans by - about 65 per cent of
the vote, total of whidh was 1,245
while Eisenhower received 644.
It was evident by .mwnorning on
Tuesday that an unusually large vote
waa to be registered in ths county
for a general election. , The turn-out
surpassed ths voting in the primary
last May, and it is oelieved to be xht
largest vote in 20 years.
A depressing fact was noted at one
pnecinet, and reported from others,
and that was the number of votes
which wen Void because the voter
failed to correctly mark his ticket.
ifmhito .this had no bearing upon the
outcome it shows the need for training
in proper methods of voting.
Results from Perquimans 1 County
became known shortly after 7 o'clock

the presidential race.- Poll offioiala

A report covering programs aJ-
ministered by the Perquimans Coun
ty P. M. A. Committee has been re
leased by Helens W. Nixon, secretary
of the committee. The program will
affect each farmer directly and con
sumers indirectly by furnishing a
framework for sound agricultural
economy.
During the year 1962 a total of 131,-
319.78 was rendered in assistance
through material and services re
ceived. These were rendered in lieu
of cash payments with the Govern
ment paying part of the costs of the
materials or services and the farmer
paying part Largest items listed un
der thus report were for AAA hme,
Bagged lime, fertilizers and Ladino
clover.
A total of 81,764.21 was the amount
of assistance, rendered for materials
purchaser commercially with the
Lfarmer receiving a cash payment for
carrying out the soil building prac-
The report alsq, contained ; these
highlights of the programs:
"The intent of the 1961 Agricul
tural Conservation Program was to
obtain e greatest possible conser
vation with available funds, and to
assist farmers in increasing conser
vation activities on their farms.
Through the program $6,913.06 was
brought into (Perquimans County
through checks to 510 farmers, to
gether with the credit for conserva
tion services and materials, which
was received by business concerns
rtn the amount of 831,319.78.
The allocation of (funds to rer-
quimana County for 1951 for carrying
out soil building practices was $33,-
410.00. Of that amount $33,083.99
was actually used with. 499 farms
participating in the program.
The benefits of the Price Support
Program is available to farmers of
Perquimans County. The program
covered the 1951 crop of corn, cotton,
peanuts, soybeans, oats' and wheat.
The Price Support Program helped
to stabilise the grain market.
"When supplies of one of the so-
called 'Basic' crops become so large
that they threaten to disrupt the mar
ket.: marketing quotas may be pro
claimed by the Secretary of Agri
culture. , The' effect of quotas is to
limit the sale of the commodity dur
in the marketing- year and to divide
the available market proportionately
amonv the growers of the crop.
"Marketing quotas . were in enect
on peanuts for 1951. There were 617
neanuts allotments in 1951 wita a
total allotment of ? 5042.7 acres.
4,572 acres of peanuts were harvested
is 1951 on 534 farms.-.
'"As rVKwSmana County farmers
produce four of the -basic crops, the
Federal Crop Insurance Corporation
selected this eounty in which to pro-
mots Multiple Crop Insurance. Tne
PMA in Perquimans County performs
the administrative work of Multiple
Crop Insurance with included estab
ushins? average yields and premium
rates for individual farms; semng
Insurance; obtaining from insured
farmers acreate reports that snow
the acreage seeded to the insured
crop; v collecting premiums; and re
porting losses.
"Under the 1951 crop insurance
program 150 contracts were in force
in Perquimans County. .
