It is to ' the advantage of cotton growers that will not use their 1954 cotton acreage allotment to release the allotment to the County ASC Com mittee so that it may be re-allotted to cotton farms in the countv that need more acreage in 1954 advised Miss Nixon. If cotton was planted on a farm in 1952 or 1953, the acreage re leased will be credited to the farm releasing the acreage in determining the farm cotton allotment in 1955. To keep cotton in North Carolina farmers in Perquimans County should either grow or share their cotton in 1954. ; LIBRARY NEWS Six new books came into the Per quimans County Library this week.
