Attending the meeting from North Carolina were: Joe S. Sugg; Executive Secretary of the North Carolina Peanut Growers Association; Commissioner of Agriculture James A. Graham; Marshall Grant, President of the North Carolina Peanut Growers As sociation; G. E. Fisher, Presi dent, Peanut Growers Co operative Marketing Associa tion; and Charles Smith, Presi dent of the Halifax County N.F.O. The meeting, held In the office of Under-Secretary Campbell on April 3rd, was attended by 26 grower representatives from every peanut producing state, and produced urgent appeals by the representatives establish ing the fact that a level of 80 of parity Is required in order that growers might survive the economic pressures brought about by the cost-price squeeze existing in peanut production to day, m 1968 the Secretary of Ag riculture set the price support level at 77-12 of parity and the growers asking for an addi tional 2-12 Increase do not feel that this is out of line with increases in Income for other segments of the economy. Under-Secretary Campbell ex pressed his sympathies for the peanut growers, stating that hav ing Just left the position of Com missioner of Agriculture in Georgia that he was thoroughly familiar with the plight of peanut farmers and would convey the message presented by the grow ers at this meeting to the Sec retary.

Wait 10 Weeks Before Writing IRS On IT Refund Ten weeks from the date a Fed eral Income tax return calling for a refund Is mailed, the taxpayer either has his check or a letter ' explaining why it Is held up, J. E, Wall, District Director of Inter nal Revenue for North Carolina, said today. For this reason a taxpayer who has not heard about his refund should wait ten weeks before writing IRS. By waiting this length of time, most taxpayers will find their Inquiry unnecessary, Mr. Wall said. If it becomes necessary to write, the taxpayer should Indi cate where and when he filed his return and give his name, address and social security number, Wall said. Millions of tax returns are handled every filing season at the Southeast Service Center which serves North Carolina taxpayers. Tbe volume of processing opera tions there makes it practically impossible for IRS to locate a particular return and to answer any question about until pro cessing 1 complete. son has recently returned from a tour of duty in Viet Nam.
